I’ve been doing this by creating my own custom apt/yum packages and my own repos coupled w ansible-playbooks/puppet-manifests.

I’ve been needing this for years and never knew it existed. Lol

Thanks for making me aware!

They’re never good, but they’re useful sometimes and blanket dismissals can be wasted opportunities in a world dominated by capitalism.

can’t wait to read up on chad-omir lenin. lol

The sooner you realize that the American capitalists want westerners to irrationally hate Putin (like this meme points out) the sooner that this world can stop sucking.

Understanding how the American capitalists use propaganda and controlled narratives (like how the Russian or Chinese capitalists are as big a problem for the world as the American capitalists for example) is the first step to changing this world.

The fact of the matter is that the Chinese have their capitalists on a leash; the American capitalists have complete control in the United States; and the Russian capitalists are such small potatoes in comparison that they’re almost irrelevant to the discussion.

the key difference here is that the hypothetical-democrats actually use their leverage against the hypothetical-republicans on the world’s stage and it can result in a felix culpa for humanity if we’re lucky enough.

i gave up reddit for lemmy as well.

so it does more than “sit on top” of apt?

are these thoroughly defined environments more than the state of all known packages pertaining to your system?

i hope the infinite forking leads to versions atleast as good as iceweasel was. lol

the same is true for the democrats

the difference here is like that of republicans and democrats; the both do it, but one is significantly worse than the other

what do you get out of it that you can’t get from apt?

and then they’ll go to another billionaire oligarch funded no-kings march to “protest” it.

this is what people should expect.

TIL of waterfox

how many forks are there?!!!

monopolies are a feature of capitalism and liberalism is defined by its regulation of capitalism; meaning that it’s a part of capitalism too just like conservatism, imperialism, colonialism, and fascism are as well.

the hardware companies i worked at that created & tested their products on linux, but refused to support linux had engineers that mostly didn’t care one way or the other; they only cared about getting paid.

it makes me wonder why they don’t just use slightly older gpu’s ; there are so many out there.

i’ve been meaning to get into rust; but i’m learning that i lack motivation if it’s not part of my job and becoming a sysadmin again doesn’t require it.

i think it’s because this style of social media is familiar to those of us who used bbs/irc/forums that were prominent in the 1990’s; while the younger crowd prefers short form content.
