  • What definition of race are you going by?

    Oxford dictionary: “a group of people who share the same language, history, culture, etc.”

    Merrian Webster dictionary: "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry

    Also: a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background"

    Are you really still using debunked race science concepts in 2024?

    Just because you group people based on a different construct does not mean you aren’t racist. What’s next, islamophobia is okay too?





  • What does a programmer need?

    • a text editor or IDE
    • language specific tool chains for building, running and testing your code

    This doesn’t seem to be something a distro can solve beyond making it possible to install this stuff.

    Maybe the closest is nixos, because it allows a lot of flexibility in setting up different development environments that are fully reproducible. Gentoo is also close, as it allows the same but in a different way (without the extent of reproducible guarantees).

    Two questions:

    • do you admit that, comparing only its functionalities as an init system, systemd provides no benefits over alternatives?
    • what non-init functionalities does systemd provide, which are necessary and beats competition from other software that provides those features?

    Sure, the alternative init systems don’t provide non init functionalities, but other software probably does.
