Realistic proposal in Finland I'd assume. As a nation they must be quite proud of Torvalds, enough to celebrate his contribution to modern technology and Linux in general.
Broken driver. It now seemingly attempts to read the current battery status, and while doing so literally locks up (not sure what "locking" means in context of a Kernel, but it's somehow involved).
This. It's a good distro to base something else on (like SteamOS), and therefore good to learn how distros work without the need to even now how software as a whole works (that would be Gentoo).
It's however horribly unstable, finicky and time-consuming as a daily driver as all the tiny adjustments and pre-configuration other distros make are missing by design.
"Kernel regressions" was a little bit too generalizing in this meme. Technically drivers that became part of the kernel can also regress, as recently seen by users of Corsair Void wireless headsets (an unpatched 6.13 kernel is panicing once the headset adapter is plugged in).
It's not perfectly correct indeed, gender dysphoria isn't classified as mental disorder anymore with the DSM-V and ICD-11 as it doesn't fit the bill (according to decades of science). It's more of an in-congruence between brain structure and hormone chemistry (as well as the whole rest of the body), and this mismatch causing very subtle but sometimes intense suffering (which in turn CAN cause mental illness, obviously). This mismatch most likely is due to some hormone control mechanism during pregnancy not doing its thing as intended.
Given he gets the important points I wouldn't try to correct him too much on that. He even demands something that's basically part of the normal process: before receiving treatment that causes irreversible changes (hormones) there's ALWAYS therapy and analysis involved. The only exception to this may be temporary hormone blockers, as those do not cause irreversible harm but give both the person and their therapist time to sort things out and find the correct answer.
(In case anyone wonders: No, we do not have a comprehensive way to tell anything conclusive from an MRI scan⦠yet)
Well yes, although with Arch Linux it's a necessity. Most distros using apt do come with graphical software centers as well. Unfortunately many people in the community indeed do ignore those tools instead of pointing to them. Hell, some even still recommend editing the god damn fstab file despite it being perfectly manageable with both Gnome and KDE tools, which are present in most popular distros and way safer unless you really know what you're doing. To have those on Arch you're forced to use CLI tools first.
It was more of a rant about the community than an argument against Arch.
It's a way to tell if you're living in some kind of extremism. Satire is meant to hyperbolize reality to highlight uncomfortable truths in a way you can vent about it through laughter (really struggling with my english here, but I hope you get what I mean). If it's nearly impossible to do so anymore⦠you're screwed.
It's a general problem with the community in my experience. People keep saying it's "simple", then whip 3 terminal commands out of their pocket nobody without extensive knowledge would understand (or be able to tell if they do something wrong). They just don't realize how much knowledge they possess in comparison, and/or how little others are interested in gaining said knowledge (not because they're ignorant, but simply because they got other priorities in life).
The community really needs an "injection of normies" for some people to wake up from their elitism trip.
Used Arch for a few years as well. Recommending it to newcomers who do not specifically ask for a learning experience is just vile.
Specifying intent in the meme would've been too much text in my opinion though. In general I think unless specified one shouldn't expect newcomers to be into learning tech, but into ease of use.
He literally forced everyone on twitter to read his shit. Now he's at the core of the US government, already taking shots at the media. Take a guess.
