Bot: Hmm this article reflects reality, thus it is biased to the left.
Using charged language like that constitutes disinformation and is reprehensible. Imagine if viewers started disregarding a source on account of your bot declaring it biased.
You’re right, it just copies a right-wing human’s opinion, and blurts it out in a format that takes way too much space, and pretends to be without bias.
This is one of those correlation != causation things, hm?
It might be more a case of the “average” Arch user being more sensitive to small quirks/bugs or certain defaults. Arch is at least comparatively unbiased, which might be why these users pick Arch in the first place.
I would personally agree with where Arch is because I prefer a distribution that mostly works out of the box and already made a lot of the decisions for me that I don’t want to be bothered with. I do still customize quite a few elements to my (sometimes very specific) liking, but I also like that I don’t have to do anything when it comes to configuring my disk layout, or configuring zram, or install and configure fwupd or other packages that kind of just make sense to have.
But I don’t really see why Arch users can’t be as happy with their choice as I am with mine, unless the only reason they “use Arch btw” is that they think that’s unironically something to brag about (or peer pressure, but that shouldn’t be a thing I hope).
This is just fun with statistics. I don’t think your Linux distro has a big impact on your overall happiness in life, but of course you can order the results by any parameter you like.
Often, it’s a third factor that influences both, in this case probably age, which influences happiness and distro choice.
Or maybe having the time and inclination to install Arch correlates with being in a bad place in your life right now.
I know I was tinkering with Linux all day when I was procrastinating and locked away in my room for days.
Arch: for the young'uns with some fire left in them that just discovered open source and want to stick it to M$ and show off in front of friends.
Debian: When those people grow up and start having to do actual work on their computers...
I went through that cycle over the last 25 years. Thought I was hot shit running Slackware on a ThinkPad 380 when all my friends were on Windows 98. Then I got better things to do than running configure scripts all day and tweaking the UI yet again.
I run Slackware because I got better things to do than configure my system.
The installation was a bit more involved than Debian cause you have to set up grub and install flatpak yourself, but then it just sits there, works and never really changes, which is nice.
It’s designed to not surprise you and let you do with it whatever you want, including nothing.

True for me. I’m using Arch because I don’t have a system that can run Gentoo ;P
Actually I’ve oscillated between the two for many years. Every few years I switch to the other one and enjoy it for a few. … Only, now I’m stuck on a laptop that would melt if I tried to put Gentoo on it v.v I hope some day I will have a real computer again v.v Among other things 😅 😞
I work in the UK for a company that is at the forefront of many industries and new technologies, with recycling and lack of waste as a main focus, and will be carbon net zero within 10 years. It’s not just the same old shit they always did - there is real and constant evolution happening. It’s not only the US and China.
Besides the obvious like surplus labour value being stolen by my boss I’ve been stolen from a couple of times. I had my car broken into once (I accidentally left it unlocked since I had a family emergency to get to), they stole my jacket and some change out of the cup holder. I didn’t really care since I had more tragic matters to deal with at the time and if they needed to steal my jacket they needed it more than me. I was/am lucky enough to have a spare so I really didn’t think much about it. They did leave a half carton of coffee creamer behind though, I was a little confused about that
In more ways than just poison too! I think there’s still limitations on how many mushrooms you’re supposed to consume in some areas, because some of the fallout from the Chornobyl disaster is still present in them.
I’m not sure there’s any limits anymore, at least if you’re not going mushroom picking in the Red Forest or something. There definitely were limits though in some areas (like here in Finland), and for example cesium is still found in mushrooms here but at levels so low it’s really not a problem anymore. Same in Germany too, looks like
I have a 2 page Google Doc that I wrote while installing Mateix (because I wanted to be able to recover from a complete system loss, and knew I'd forget what I did). Half of the doc is my HAProxy notes.
Are you still having issues? I could try cleaning up my notes for a wider audience (note: my professional background includes technical writing and corporate technical training, so I'd be super anal about, and it would take a few hours at least).
Is this meant to be single-user, or a larger host?
Blackadder is one series that I keep meaning to watch, it seems hilarious. Not sure it was ever broadcast in Finland way back when, but now we have torrentscompletely legal ways to acquire media off the internet
If the bot doesn’t go away, I’ll write one that counter spams with how much of a piece of shit MBCF website is. The difference is that I will run it off my own instance where you’ll have to defederate to get me to stop. And even then, a simple hostname change and a re-spin of the docker composer will create me a brand new instance. ActivityPub has no defense against this, and as far as I know nothing in the pipeline to combat bad instance admins.
I’m not - I’m a professional software dev though I mainly work with C# - but I’m sure I can pick it up - DM me with something you want me to put together and I can take a look
Yeah I’ve used python before a good number of times - actually I taught basic python to some school kids back in the day, though I’m definitely gonna be a bit rusty. But yep, sounds good!
I haven’t done any programming in over 20 years, but I think I can make a contribution to projects by trying to improve documentation, once I start using some projects
