I mean... That's kinda what git does, in a way... Right?

I have considered this approach, but there are several things I had issues with.

• there is still a degree of latency. It's not a deal breaker, but it is annoying
• clipboard programs don't work. They copy to the remote host's clipboard. I bet there's a solution to this, but I couldn't find it from spending a limited time looking into it.
• in the rare case the host is unreachable, I am kinda screwed. Not a deal breaker since its rare, but the host has to be always on, whether the git solution only requires it to be on when it syncs

To address the issues you brought up:

• less commits: this would be resolved by squashing every time I make a commit. The auto save commits will be wiped. If I really hated commits, I could just amend instead of commit, but I rather have the history.
• forgetting to git pull: the hooks I talked about will take care of that. I won't have to ever worry about forgetting anymore.

Which is great that we're not talking about groups of people, but national lines on a map

We are actually talking about a group of people - banned from contributing to open source for being Russian. Read the post again before embarrassingly framing your sentences like a smartass.

Can you use your own words to demonstrate why my argument isn't convincing? What's not convincing is throwing around the word "whataboutism" and thinking that's an argument.

No it isn't. Read the comment I replied to.

What definition of race are you going by?

Oxford dictionary: "a group of people who share the same language, history, culture, etc."

Merrian Webster dictionary: "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry

Also: a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background"

Are you really still using debunked race science concepts in 2024?

Just because you group people based on a different construct does not mean you aren't racist. What's next, islamophobia is okay too?

So shouldn't this also include the US and the many countries (most of Western Europe, plus others) involved in coalitions bombing the middle east and elsewhere?

It might not be what you're looking for, but I use rsync (the android client is syncopoli). You will have to do some light scripting though (but no other apps involved).

Why let Google play be the reason to stop development? There are many people who use f-droid or download releases or apks from other sources.

Google is trying to force out indie developers, do we really want to listen to them and do as they want?

What does a programmer need?

• a text editor or IDE
• language specific tool chains for building, running and testing your code

This doesn't seem to be something a distro can solve beyond making it possible to install this stuff.

Maybe the closest is nixos, because it allows a lot of flexibility in setting up different development environments that are fully reproducible. Gentoo is also close, as it allows the same but in a different way (without the extent of reproducible guarantees).

What can systemd do that cannot be done with OpenRC?

Two questions:

• do you admit that, comparing only its functionalities as an init system, systemd provides no benefits over alternatives?
• what non-init functionalities does systemd provide, which are necessary and beats competition from other software that provides those features?

Sure, the alternative init systems don't provide non init functionalities, but other software probably does.

Not how I understood it. Rather, there are alternatives that have potential to be better than systemd, but systemd has the unfair advantage of receiving the funding and manpower.

If alternatives had equal manpower, they may have had better success than systemd.

Don't entirely discount a project only because it is funded by the US government. Do take that as a big yellow flag, but not auto reject. Better to just asses the project for what it is with caution.

I find it much more likely that the US government has a huge interest in giving the public access to secure communication software that would be unbreakable by surveillance from a typical government. Why? Because those are the governments that are enemies of the US, and where the US is interested in regime change. And the existence of this software is much more influential towards regime change in those countries, rather than being threat to the US.

In fact, these softwares are barely a threat to the US. The US has no issue with them existing because they have such a powerful hold on their state.

But they literally did. What Israel is doing is not new. The only thing new is media coverage.

I don't really trust these random sites. If you don't have evidence to show me then I will respectfully dismiss your claims, as I follow Al-Mayadeen myself and know their reporting well.

Support for Israel is their choice and interest. They aren't being held by the balls like you make it sound.

Do you have evidence of Al Mayadeen lying or falsely reporting something?

They are biased in the sense that they amplify resistance voices where mainstream media crushes those voices. But I have never seen them falsify reports.

And live among civilians when they're expecting to be paged

Can you please demonstrate how async workflows and monads resolve this issue?

Wouldn't effect systems still be considered exceptions, but handled differently?
