Help! I'm Dying of AIDS​

Dear Trollaxor:

A few months ago, I started using Linux. When I began, I told others that I was just experimenting, and that it was just for fun. But I couldn't stop. I started using Linux every day. I stopped socializing with others, and never changed the Tux shirt that I wore constantly. I began to berate technology that wasn't Open Source. Worst of all, I began to partake in gross and neglegant homosexual behavior. I'm not sure if I was gay before I started using Linux, or if it corrupted me in some way, but that is not the point.

One day, when at a book store checking out Gaynal Magazine, the premiere magazine about the Linux community, I was approached by a fellow Linux user. We started talking about Linux and homosexuality, and he invited me to hang out with him at this gay bathhouse known as the White Swallow. I still remember my first night. It was a Linux user's dream come true!!! The whole Slashdot crew was there giving out free blowjobs and anal grease, ESR was getting gangbanged, and Rob Malda offered his anus to me.

I became a regular at this bathhouse, but that's how the nightmare began. I didn't know that every single one of them had AIDS, and that I had become infected. I was crushed. I stopped using Linux immediately, but that didn't help improve my health. I want to warn others about the dangers of using Linux. I don't want anyone to make the same mistake that I did. What do you recommend?

Dying of AIDS,Michigan

Dear Gentle Sir:

Thanks for writing in. The last time I addressed Linux as a gateway to unhealthy practices such as faggotry and drug-use, I had a chance to warn my reader before it was too late. I'm sorry to see that with you, the situation is irreversible. I am glad you want to share your message, however, and to that I'll discuss your plight for others to see.

You didn't mention what prompted your initial foray into Linux and Open Source, but I imagine it happened innocently enough at first. Perhaps you were the poor unknowing victim of a dirty zealot, such as ESR, or maybe it was just a quiet link to Slashdot that began your slide into Hell. The price of health is constant vigilance, but to the uninformed that's difficult. ESR and the Slashdot staff prey exactly upon such marks.

The bathhouse, the "White Swallow," was more of a dream-come-true to the predators than new Linux users know. Not a single participant in the raw anal gangbangs or semenistic orgies there spoke once about their terrible secrets and with good reason. That was their chance to have your forever, and it looks like they did just that. I can't imagine the feeling that washed over you when you discovered the terrible truth. I can only pray for your peace and that others never share that emotion.

My recommendation to you is to become an anti-Open Source zealot. Write essays and post them to Slashdot about the terrible secrets and conspiracies that the cock-lusting Open Source world harbors. Wear FreeBSD t-shirts, especially the one where the Beastie is fucking Tux up the ass (give it back to'em!). When you see a Linux "install party" happening, call the authorities immediately and tell them there's a filthy circle-jerk about to take place. Wear a mouth guard to prevent biting your pillow at night, one of the most embarassing side effects of Linux. Make sure you're running at least Windows if you can't get to a Mac. Using a proper OS is a must — even though it's "too late" for you, you can still set an example.

I wish you luck as you begin your lonely journey down a road few travel. Hold your head high as you proceed, refusing to let Open Source claim another victim. They may have ruined your body, but they lose — and we win — if your mind remains free to the end.

Best Wishes,
Trollaxor

rewriting coreutils means you can license it however you like and proprietary proprietary operating systems like macos or operating systems that try not to ship gpled software like freebsd can have a working set of coreutils

I will never understand people in open source trying to cater to companies like Apple who are making who knows how much money. If apple doesn't want to touch anything with a gpl with a 10 foot pole. Good fuck them.

Freebsd already has their own coretutils they deliberately make for their own system because the whole belief of the bsd's is you are supposed to ship the kernel and userland tools together. I'm pretty sure they already package the gnu-coreutils too for people that want to use them. But you need to install it yourself.

Permissive license cucking is like this

sry for spam, i checked out omarchy and its a bit too buggy to daily drive rn.
very difficult to navigate compared to stock hyprland or pretty much any wm i've ever used. a lot of bindings are changed and programs preconfigured to act differently than they usually are, making for a very inconsistent desktop experience. no floating toggle by default was also a weird decision.
as i was typing my last post here my backspace key kept sticking due to some lag in the desktop, i guess something was hanging as this hasnt happened to me in years and a few keyboards ago.
hypridle is still a broken piece of shit and i wasn't able to fix it and had to reboot from a tty. ended up just commenting out anything to do with the lock screen.
after that though i had had it and just switched my boot order back to artix s6.
vaxry's code is still a pile of shit and omarchy makes it significantly worse.

yeah you get the bsd coreutils for bsd but when you need to build programs on macos or freebsd you download the gnutils for use in a build environment.
rust coreutils won't replace any of their system coreutils but it does mean they can redistribute them and skip gnu, which is actually something i am on board with as a musl/clang/llvm fan
 
The Winapps utility is pretty nice, but configuring and launching is such a pain and you have to uninstall and reinstall it every time you add an app to windows, and there are soft lock glitches here and there that are annoying to deal with

But the troons at the Rust Foundation told me that tech is inherently political. That's why they took a bold stand against a black career criminal dying of a drug overdose while resisting arrest instead of how Uyghurs are being killed and dismantled for their organs.*

* That would result in the Huawei funding shriveling up

its almost like introducing a stasi with a monopoly on power and a bone to pick with everyone and everything is fucking repellent and makes nobody want to associate with u
 

That's the thing about these parasites. They say that about EVERYTHING. I found this video the other day, and posted it in another thread to sperg about it. It's some goth guy, that happens to be either some kind of libertarian, or maybe a republican. Some flavor of conservative. The thing that immediately came to mind watching it though, is what these troons, and faggots have done to he open source software communities. They came in, claimed that it was in fact political, and not actually about the software. Then they forced out everyone that had a problem with that, or made them afraid to say anything.

Any hobby, community, or subculture these people manager to worm their way into. Especially if they manage to get into some position of authority will in no time be deemed "inherently political". It doesn't matter if it makes sense, it doesn't matter if it even directly violates the principles of what that community is trying to do. They will force their agenda, because they are the "good guys" so if you don't agree with them that must mean you are a dangerous person who must be cast out, and never spoken of again.

I'm going to be atomizing what remains of my broken-record ass self, because this thing decided to call NixOS underrated in the title.

>The "stable" best practices for NixOS system maintenance are no longer considered best practices for production.
>Official documentation for "new best practices", Nix Flakes, among other things are either bone dry and are outdated by 3-5+ years anyways.

To make matters worse moderation squabbles are one of the major culprits to this projects internal struggles and why shit stagnates. A team comes up with a potential solution for dependency management and system fragmentation issues that works to an extent, yet snatches defeat from the jaws of victory because nobody can have a workmanship mindset outside of politics.

That's why you can't just grill or just make good software. You will lose by default. Making everything political might be distasteful, exhausting, and boring; however, if you are not pushing your ideals aggressively, you are ceding the ground and the software to those that do.

Overall the documentation for NixOS is fucking garbage even Guix does have better one and theirs have half of the things missing from it and the half is outdated. Adding to that Nix lang is pure niggerware that needs to constantly defer to other languages such as bash to do anything.

Picrel but almost every time I need to install a package, spend 2 days on their discord asking for help and 4 hours reading github issue trackers to find out the package I need is broken and when I do get it installed even the unstable version is out of date

People who solely daily-drives NixOS probably doesn't do real work. If your work requires anything that is just slightly obscure or absolutely proprietary, prepare to spend hours on just installing it and getting to work properly.

You'd have to be a turboautist (more than your average Linux users) AND have enough free time (again, more than your average Linux users) to even consider daily-driving NixOS long term.

Total glibc gcc gnu-toolchain domination.

I have already told you this thousands of times. You will use gpl'd software stalker child. Your license is already over.

ya ya i know im kind of against the grain not liking the current fsf or how they do things
its actually reaching the point where im starting to consider "free software" a poisonous term that directly undermines open source, as strange as that sounds
i started to understand what linus meant in this video
edit: ill be clear, i do like the gpl and i use free software when possible
i just dont think gnu software is holy and if the license is a problem for people they should have the right to write their own and license it how they see fit, and if it gains traction in linux then that says more about the quality of gnu software and how people are being restricted by the gpl than anything

It's not a matter of quality. LLVM+clang has a lot of traction because big corporations fucking hate copyleft licenses. They're using it simply because there are fewer legal hoops to jump through.

yeah like there are obviously huge benefits to using gpl, linux kernel's bazaar development and xorg not taking stallman's advice and suffering as a result are big ones
but it's not like we haven't seen this coming. i predicted this years and years ago with hostile forking, where a corp just commits so many changes to a project and forks it themselves, eventually placing the original maintainer downstream of their own project
this is a similar concept, but instead of just forking the project they replace the entire program and embrace extend extinguish
as an argument to why i said quality, the license argument would make sense if we were talking about macos, but adoption into linux means there are no licensing issues because linux distros already ship gpled software with no legal problems
unless there's something i'm not seeing about ubuntu needing to get rid of gpled software, i don't see how it's relevant
