    Accusing people like Stallman of being rapists dilutes the meaning of the word.

    Is he creepy? Sure. Does he have rather unpopular opinions on what constitutes pedophilia? Yep. Does he go around forcing people to have sex with him? No.

    I assume you’re basing the abuse argument on the WWE logo in the corner. Everyone who didn’t notice that (me included, at first) just see a girl with a “how dare he?” look on her face. Which is actually pretty funny.

    In case you’re wondering where all the downvotes are coming from.

    I’ve never talked to an Arch user about Linux, so I dunno how toxic their community is. But I do read Arch documentation, and it’s fantastic. Arch’s documentation has (for me, anyway) taken the place that used to be held by the old HOWTOs back in the early days.

    The kind of cooperation required to accomplish this doesn’t speak of a toxic community to me. I didn’t watch the video since I don’t watch YouTube on my phone, but I’m guessing it’s not the Arch community that has issues but annoying teenage “I’m more 1337 than you” jackwads that are the turd in the Linux punchbowl. Those little cretins are drawn to distros like Arch because they like feeling superior to the “normie” users.

    I should know, I used to be like that thirty years ago. Most of us grow out of it after we start getting laid.












  • Emacs has org-mode. It’s similar to markdown, with a ton of extra functionality and the ability to export very nice documents in other formats like LaTeX, HTML, and OpenDocument. When read as plain text it’s clear and easy to read.

    It’ll also act as a personal planner, a TODO list wrangler, format tables with spreadsheet capabilities, and a whole lot more. It’s basically Emacs’ killer app.


  • I don’t believe so - the docs mention several ways to boot a pi but most only work for newer models.

    An option might be to boot an SD card read-only and run everything over NFS. It’s trivial to do that sort of thing with some UNIX clones (OpenBSD, for instance), but I don’t know about a modern Linux.






  • It might be too outdated to do major services, but it’s still fine for its original use - interfacing with electronic components.

    You could build a weather station, monitor temperature and humidity in your attic and crawlspace, automatically water plants, etc. You don’t need much electronics knowledge for that sort of thing.
