Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.

    I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.



  • Nix has more packages , by far. Nix also automatically handles the dependent libraries for each package, which is something you can’t do with brew on immutable systems. This means that Nix can install software like espanso, which wouldn’t work on uBlue derivatives otherwise.

    I really wish the uBlue maintainers would have opted for Nix over brew for that reason. It’s not much more difficult to do nix profile install nixpkgs#package-name over brew install package-name. They could have even aliased it to make it easier.






  • You say that as if companies haven’t been imposing greedflation/shitflation on everyone for many years.

    Voting with your wallet isn’t an effective means by which to motivate a company to do anything. You’re just a drop in the bucket, so your distaste for a company will never influence their behavior. You know what does? Shareholders.

    Thankfully, Proton is moving away from that harmful influence by becoming a non-profit, so that will be less of an issue for them and they can focus on delivering services that users actually want instead of shoveling in anti-features and forcing arbitrary price-hikes on their customers like most for-profit companies do.

    Friendly reminder that conflating Jewish people with Israel is highly antisemitic.

    Ethnostates should not exist. They will always result in the exclusion and harm of the excluded groups, as we are seeing now with the government of said ethnostate attempting to genocide Palestinians.

    Both Nazis and the genocidal government of Israel are willing to enact violence to uphold their ethnostates, so in that regard, comparing Zionism (not Jewish people) to other ideologies that aim to build ethnostates is perfectly apt.

    Hope this helps 🥰

    If you’re mad that the flag of Israel is depicted next to a Nazi logo, I would remind you that Israel is not the same thing as Jewish people, nor does it represent them. Israel is representative of a Zionist nation-state, and nothing more.

    Both of the ideologies depicted in this meme are centered around genocidal ethnostates, so nothing being said is untrue.
