    Distrobox and Flatpak are more than enough at this stage for most programs

    Maybe for you, but personally I could never get by with only that. I have zero interest in atomic distros. To me they look like an inferior version of NixOS, which I have yet to fully wrap my head around. Until then I’ll stick to Arch (BTW)













  • Being ‘racist’ has, at its basic tenant, has nothing to do with ‘race’ as much as it has to do with ‘being other than me’. A Catholic believing that all other religions are inferior to them is just as much a manifestation of ‘racism’ as discrimination by skin color.

    I think the word you’re looking for here is xenophobia, which specifically means “fear of those who are not like you”. Racism, like fascism, has a narrower meaning than the overly broad way in which you’re using it. Words have meanings, and if we start calling everything racist or fascist, those words lose all meaning and it becomes impossible to call out actual racism and fascism. Also, it’s “tenet”, not “tenant”.


  • The difference is, corporations have no desire to rule over humankind, only to dominate their respective industry.

    I think if you read up on tech CEOs, you wouldn’t say this.

    The Vatican is about as far removed from being responsive to a democratic public as the assassination of Pope John Paul I

    That doesn’t make it fascist, because it isn’t a country. Is it evil, corrupt, and malicious? There’s definitely a strong case for that. But is it fascist? By the definition you yourself posted, it can’t be. You’re clearly emotional about this and seem to think I’m defending the church, but I’m not – I’m defending language, words and their meaning.
