- Comment on Manjaro Linux Team Goes on Strike, Threatens to Fork the Project 15 hours ago:
as an outsider, reading the forum discussion, the split is not the crisis, the crisis is already ongoing, and the split from the company is actually a step towards a good solution. Also, the discussion tone seems to be very constructive.

Whatever floats your boat, but I think algorithmic music recommendations are utterly useless. If I want to broaden my musical horizon, I absolutely want chance to be an element in that. Be it radio music, film music, some kind of background music in a restaurant or while shopping - whatever. I don’t need a stinking algorithm for everything :p

If you think rejecting hate speech is overblown, you might be part of the problem. It’s not a “slight disagreement” when people question the fundamental right to live of another group.

see how much opinions can differ: I am not glad about anyone getting murdered (neither am I sad about this particular one), but I think that people propagating hate and intolerance should focus on therapy, not open source.

I don’t think it’s overblowing things at all when I look at these tweets: nitter.net/awesomekling/…/1966456391146606806 nitter.net/awesomekling/…/1971287738268909576
That dev seems to be a real piece of shit.
- Comment on Brazil revokes visa of US diplomat who sought to visit Bolsonaro in prison 6 days ago:
I do think that they are fully aware many people only read headlines, or do not read past the first paragraph - which is why I think the phrasing is important and it is fucking dangerous how many media outlets misphrase headlines to normalize fascism :(

“a high-profile rival of the administration” for sure is a mouthful to avoid saying a former fascist head of state convicted because of an attempted coup, if I am not mistaken.

whatever the reason (you can bring up the Standford prison experiment) they are evil, and if you want to disagree, you can’t disagree that they act evil. they see their neighbors and not see them as human. If we wait for their consent to end the genocide, it’ll never end.
You make the relevant distinction yourself: “they” (I don’t like the word when there’s clearly exceptions) act evil. No doubt about that. That doesn’t mean Israeli people are inherently worse or better than the rest of us.
And in the current scenario, there’s no consent to be awaited, but the necessary international action to boycott Israel (and other genocidal/ terrorist states) at all fronts is simply not happening, and that is depressing.
- Comment on An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." 1 week ago:
I have a problem with the use of the word “evil”, and even when I do it myself, I am aware it is only a crutch to describe people with what I consider to be brain (developmental) damage to the point of narcissism and having no empathy.
But as I said, propaganda is strong. Calling the Israeli population evil is misunderstanding the problem and is accordingly not helpful at all in finding a solution (which I do not have either). That said, yes, it is shocking what evil acts are okay with people in Israel, but there are hundreds of millions of people in other parts of the world who also find such atrocities acceptable. And in my own country of origin, Germany, we definitely have our own share of people who do not give a fuck about the Palestinians and shrug off the ongoing genocide as “self defense”.
What is happening is horrible, but dehumanizing Israelis is NOT a solution - but it’s a really dangerous path towards keeping a blood feud alive.

Propaganda is unfortunately very effective, and the majority of the Israeli population, similar to the ‘murica population, similar to the population of Putinland, and many others in the world, has taken the bait of hate hook, line and sinker. That doesn’t mean the average Israeli was born more or less evil than you or me. Which means every new generation has a chance of being better than their parents’ generation.

I am not sure about “will be” but I certainly hope Palestinians get a chance to live a happy and worry-free live again - with the Israeli population understanding the horrors committed in their name, war criminals brought to justice and a peaceful nation of Israel in the future. One can dream.
- Comment on Fairphone posted 83% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025 - A journey away from Big Tech to a more sustainable alternative 1 week ago:
Main reasons I stopped buying Fairphones:
- too big
- focus on fair-trade (fair enough) but not on free operating systems
- sustainability: by the time my FP2 partially broke (USB charger port), they were no longer selling spare parts
Other than that - it’s a great company and a team of good people.

there’s no mention of “privately” (some people work at home) and with the introduction, poster is giving the opposite impression - ragebaiting at the very least.

And then have the nerve to argue on behalf of “poor people” most of whom probably don’t have any spare money to buy convenience products on amazon.

You missed the point completely, so I’ll lay it out for you: Everyone has to draw a line SOMEWHERE. And when a country whose government sends fascist death squads into the streets is supported by a company, there’s a fuckton of lines to be drawn.
There’s ZERO excuse for doing business with amazon. No one is starving because they can’t shop there. So GTFO with your lazy ass morally corrupt exuses.

- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 3 weeks ago:
fair enough. Eating animals is definitely “natural”, but humans have evolved to a point where we can live vegetarian / vegan without suffering malnutrition, and since we have both the least empathetic as well as the most empathetic living beings among our species, there’s a good argument to be made for eating vegetarian / vegan when given the option.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 3 weeks ago:
I can’t make much sense of your statement. I am flexitarian with a strong leaning towards vegetarian (meat is a rare exception) and a convenient leaning towards veganism (I love cheese, sowwy). But the reason I avoid animal products is because if I can enjoy good food without animals being hurt, then I will prefer that to eating animal products, for which animals get hurt. That’s a very easy decision and doesn’t involve nor require consent of any kind.
