Pacman used to be really bad at removing unneeded dependencies. I think pretty much every package manager has this facility now. For instant apt auto remove.
Suppose you installed gnome to try it out, gnome installs like 1000000 packages. The thing about some of those dependencies is that they're really useful. It's not uncommon for another package you have installed to use it as an optional dependency. In that case it doesn't get flagged for autoremoval when you uninstall gnome.
When you apply this logic a couple layers deep they start to compound.
Also libraries and random python scripts tend to just exist forever in your system long after you used it lol.
I started developing the habit of checking what dependencies are being installed and to uninstall immediately when I realize I don't need it.
This logic applies to language specific managers like cargo or pip too.
They all have really good tooling to figure out leaves, orphaned nodes etc. I just didn't start using those until I got into the arch hype.
Arch breaking grub has happened to me twice. Second time I couldn't even recover the install.
You learn a lot of good practices by using arch, eg a separate home partitjon, git repositories for your config files, maintaining a clean package tree etc. Installing Arch is also really useful for noobs like me to learn some Linux basics.
I’m Indian. I’m willing to bet a bunch of kids who just built their first pc didn’t realize windows was paid just googled free OS and installed Linux lol
(This is a sarcastic whit at the frugality of my people. Truth is a lot of Indians my age are extremely tech savvy and care about privacy)
Look bud. I get that you want a trusty point of reference for their gender, and kudos to you on that. The whole reason they were brutally beaten to death is because of their gender non conformity. Them being trans has been the whole reason the police has been so virulent in their disinformation.
If you believe there is possible doubt about what they said their gender was or you are confused by conflicting sources, maybe just say Nex?
That’s not very “owns the means of production” of you.
But all joking aside, there’s something fundamentally socialist about the fediverse. Like it’s by design decentralized to let people own their instance.
BTW I agree with you. The point you actually should have brought up is that the moment someone blurs part of the footage, its entire validity as proof of the actual event goes out the window.
The moment it gets put into an editing software, any number of changes can be made to make any point conceivable.
I think a middle ground approach would be to defacto give access to the footage to the defendants in the case but not the general public.
Yeah, you will invariably remove something crucial haha. The nice thing with arch is that usually you can fix it without too much fuss.
Me learning to use Linux was like teaching a child that can't feel pain to not touch fire.
