  • Gentoo and Arch are built to be infinitely mod-able.

    Writing a patch for a thing you use at home, and wanna share it with the world? Gentoo even makes that easier. Arch stepped away from that to rely on precompiled binaries for simplicity and efficiency’s sake, but it’s still available through the ABS and AUR with some extra steps.

    Nix and Guix? I’m afraid of the dependency-redundancy involved, but organizational deployments seem like the right place for that.

    Serious development without requiring a dedicated machine, where all deps are accounted for? Yeah, Nix/Guix will help quite a bit. Rapid, flexible deployment of something customized and virtualized? There too, Nix/Guix.

    Need some containerization or Virtualization? Gentoo or Arch already has your back. And if that’s your primary usecase, you may prefer Qubes to anything we’ve already discussed. Then again… Gentoo could use a Qubes-porting repo maintainer.











  • Easy to say when you have choices in where to shop. Lack of transportation and odd work schedules destroy that Real Quick. As does rural life, or life in an urban food desert.

    There is more to poverty than lack of money - there is also frequently a lack of time away from work for serious food preparation. And idk if you’ve looked at vegan processed food lately but uh… The opposite holds true about their price.

    No one can survive on crock pot beans alone.

    Once again, 100 companies are responsible for how much of the emissions? Your consumer choices are not a Revolution that will save the world. Consumer choice is a poor substitute for activism that has been sold to you by your Masters.
