see c/UGEM for UnderGroundElectronicMusic. :) (I was going to set up something like that when saw someone else had already requested to make it. Good stuff. Populate it.)

  • What are the more obscure independent linux distros?

  • I haven’t tried Gentoo yet, but I want to.

    Come. You want to. And it's easy. Here's a video install guide on how to install Gentoo, that's not even 40 seconds long...

    ;)

    (... 24 days ago. Oh. Did you do it yet? On Gentoo yet? USE flag convertee now?)

    I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.

    I was briefly using Hurd with debian about 12 years ago... it didn't hurt. Hurd didn't hurt.

    ... I've been looking over at even more exotic kernels from time to time, yet to seriously dip my toe in... things like ironclad.

  • Here are some independent distros I think need more respect/recognition:

    • CRUX - It's proper old school, been around for ages, still does things the old school ways, gets you perhaps more knowledge of your system than even archlinux, slackware, gentoo...
    • KISS (and/or Carbs) - Similarly keeps you hands-on tight to your system.
    • Exherbo - Takes commitment, to go from 0 to 10, users as developers. Godly, if you can.
    • SliTaZ - Still as small as the old small DamnSmallLinux, and more pleasant (comparable to SLAX and Puppy).
    • Gobo - Always needs honorary mention. Unique file system layout ... ~ Would be cool if that were simply something we could toggle on any distro... Surely that's just someone taking an afternoon with an LLM making XDG configurations... no? Okay, probably more complicated than I know. ~ But I digress...
    • GuixSD - Manage your system with guile.
    • PCLinuxOS - Convenient, catering to desktop users. Nice community spins. Oddly uses RPM package format, but with apt interface.
    • BedrockLinux - What I've used for about 14 years as my daily driver. It's cheating. ;) Linux's best kept secret.

    Big fan of each of these.

    Also peripherally aware of...

    • venom
    • adelie
    • milis
    • side (uses PiSi package manager)
    • ToaruOS (idk, just saw it for the first time now... showing there's always more to explore...)

    How many more bugs would Haskell catch?

  • This is why when we say SET and SETTING, that includes who you have around.

    Don't trip with rotters like that around.

  • You say you get it, but nothing you said after the "but" corroborated the claim.

    Was not playing devil's advocate [nor non-playing advocating]. Was not defending. Was satirically pointing out the folly of becoming them; the folly of opposaming; the folly of arrogantly presuming what to impose in ignorant lack of introspection unto hypocrisy; the folly of fear driven reactions that drive a social tragedy of the commons blind race to the bottom into kakistarchy. Can't defeat Nazism from here. Can create it.

    The principle espoused seems sound though. Same as how to deal with any/all totalitarians. That being to keep speaking out and stopping their madness, or it gets worse and worse, where any and all atrocities are seen as necessary virtues. I'm not sure how sending them to echo chambers to go on festering ever worse, unchallenged, serves this necessary avenue of remedy.

    Better the monster you can see. Better the Daryl Davis approach, proven to convert people out of monstrosity, than to try to out-monster the monsters. Not having a bigger hammer was not the problem with the hammer being the only tool in the toolbox.

  • Man, its one thing to be arguing for slippery slope (which is literally a logical fallacy, meaning it shouldn’t be used in an argument),

    A slippery slope fallacy is a fallacy, but there are still slippery slopes that are not fallacious.

    stonetoss either promotes, or genuinely believes a number of neo-nazi views. To me, thats enough that I dont think his comics should be cross posted here.

    How might they be exposed to ideas to challenge their ideas and broaden their perspective? While exposure here may not offer a direct line, and may seem like more advantage to the spread of their ideas than them being exposed to ideas that challenge their ideas, it may at least expose more people to see their ideas, and, presumably, be of sound mind enough to not only not succumb to them, but perhaps go forth to offer counter-arguments and refutations and exposing fallacies and harms of their ideas.

  • Imagine becoming a Nazi by slippery slope fallacy and tu quoque fallacy. Kind of ironic.
