Hey! You can also post this to [email protected] if you fancy :)

Could you share any particular points that made you switch? I’m currently on Manjaro and I was thinking of switching to Fedora. But now I’ve started hearing good things about Debian…not sure how to proceed!

What’s this?

This is a common misconception, but fully understandable one. If you look into political theory, one of the first things you discover is that all governments – whether they call themselves “democratic” or not – are, before anything else, at war with the people they claim to represent.

The “people” – not rival foreign states – are the first group against which a state of at war with, whether the state in question is a monarchy, a republic, a dictatorship, a plutocracy or something else.

I believe it can but don’t take my word for it

Great. I don’t know enough to use either but I think I’m going to try lean on podman from the get go. In any case, I know that all podman commands are exactly identical to Docker, such that you can replace, say, docker compose with podman compose and move on with ease.

Do you think Podman is ready to take over Docker? My understanding is that Podman is Docker without the root requirement.

The basic mistake I see us all make is assume that Spez has any emotional attachment to Reddit (let alone anything close to how attached we are to it). He doesn’t.

Once you realize that he’s 100% in it for the money and is utterly uncaring about Reddit’s users (i.e. you), you’ll realize that he couldn’t give less of a shit about actually addressing our concerns.

This will also make you immune to any PR sanitising lies him and his team spout, as all such lies hinge on your willingness to give him some benefit of the doubt. We shouldn’t.

Just wanna suggest anyone reading this post that they should read “the govt of China” anytime they come across “China”. We in the Anglophone world love being hysterically scared/detesting of “the Chinese”, and our governments love it.
