Ever used it on arm devices?

I love gentoo, and here's why:

  • incredible flexibility in package versions. I can install multiple versions of a package, or install an old version of a package without incompatibility issues
  • can mix between rolling release (arch-like) and fixed / stable releases (fedora-like) on the individual package level
  • can very easily create packages not in the repos and treat them as first class
  • super easy to add and manage patches
  • global management of compile flags and options
  • packages in portage are not only programs. You can let portage manage other things, such as users or configurations
  • support for less common architectures or setups, like using musl, arm, clang, etc.

Trying to be relatable while they force you to use their browser or choice.

It's that simple!

This kind of optimistic attitude ignores the reality that such actions are only effective when organized in mass. If I stop using zoom, it's pointless. It's only effective in the context of organizing with others.

The rich might want us to think that we are empowered to inflict change by merely making personal choices (which in reality are completely futile). In reality, our power shows when we're united.

Who uses a system for only few minutes?

There's a good number of companies that use it. Off the top of my head, Twitter, databricks, hopper and tubi TV all use it.

I don't see how it tallies votes more efficiently? Bigger cities have more people to count, and typically are divided up too.

Mega cities not affecting rural locations is already done by having local government's

I know you said you still prefer popular vote, but jist wanted to voice my opinion.

In general, complicated electoral policies help maintain the status quo and a disconnect between the people and the state. It makes the people always think that things are bad because they didn't use the system right. Come on guys we need more voters. Come on guys we need to focus on swing States. Actually guys we need to vote in Congress too. Guys we also need local elections. Omg guys, we forgot about the supreme court!!

Rather than revolting against your government, you will always be presented with another route forward that won't take you there.

Can't believe I scrolled all the way down and didn't find Scala. It's the only language with decent traction that beautifully and elegantly combines functional programming and object oriented programming. Scala makes it such that the language does not limit you into a certain paradigm. You can translate your algorithm in your mind into code regardless of how you thought of it. Incredibly flexible where you need it to be.

I really had to scroll this far to find perl. I like perl too. Underrated.
