Capitalism bad. Hope that's short enough for you to comprehend.

Containerization is only heavy outside of Linux, and orchestration only makes sense when manual orchestration becomes too tedious (it's easy to orchestrate a single app).

Keeping docs for those things is very troublesome imo. You can't feasibly consider everyone's different environment, C library used, their system's package manager and how it may package software differently than yours, and the endless array of things they may have already installed that may effect your app in some way. Sure, it's not super common, but it's hell when it does.

But I suppose if your use case is very simple, like "just have nodejs installed and run npm start" then sure. But things can get ugly very easily.

It is very unfortunate that posts like the OP portray the anti work movement in that way, but anti work does not mean that. I think this other commenter summarized it better: https://lemm.ee/comment/3155176

It is unfortunate that this anti-work rhetoric often comes off as outrageous, when in reality it isn't. I don't know if the people doing it are intentionally trying to be controversial, or if they just are not good at communicating.

When we complain about work, this doesn't mean that we are asking for a world where we lounge all day at home, and expect that food, shelter and entertainment are magically delivered to us without any regard to how it happens. No, anti-work is not about a blind sense of entitlement. But that is how a lot of these posts come off as, even if their authors don't intend it.

Anti-work is a recognition that the working class works way too damn much; so much more than we need to to have a functioning society with everyone living happily and having their needs met. There's so much inefficiency in capitalism, with aims to drive more capital to the wealthy, and working around other stupidities of capitalism (check out the book "Bullshit jobs" for examples). The ruling class holds hostage the world's resources, and requires you to give them a large portion of your life to get even the minimum needed to sustain your living. Now that is outrageous.

Java is #1 in enterprise. Pretty solid.

a long history of human rights abuses, persecution of minorities and espionage

Hmm, I wonder which countries this applies to... It's crazy how you missed the irony of this

And your data will become a weapon in the event of a world war 3.

Dude... You're living in some video game fantasy world. Your activity browsing social media and watching over-confident youtubers will not give China an edge in world war 3. I guarantee you.

On Calyx, most android apps require Google services. How do you address this? Calyx's solution for this is providing microG, a stripped down Google services. Still, they're Google services...

"the enemy you know" to be in the same geography as you and be capable to use the data against you, yes.

With the other enemy, you know your data in their hands is a much less of a threat to you. They're so far away and do not have authority on your country.

And btw, Google is never gone for good. Not even with Calyx

Doesn't Google record this info already?

Yeah get a phone that's monitored by entities in your own country and can actually use it against you instead of the ones halfway across the planet. That's the intelligent move.

Woah, $8 SBC? How does it compare to raspberry pi? I'm sure way less resources. But still $8 to run Linux sounds awesome.

To be fair, I would agree that the German government is the most decent in Western Europe. But the far right and anti-refugee sentiment in Germany has risen dramatically, and it wasn't that great to begin with.

But just to add a few more examples, you have places like Italy, Spain (the current government is still a direct descendant of Franco's fascist monarchy) and France (see latest laws against Muslims and Arabs, and just the rising hatred in general).

The point is, Western Europe is always painted as this morally superior place, when it is very much not. People are quick to shit talk third world countries as if we're the only ones dealing with fascistic governments. At least we acknowledge it. So many Europeans do not.
