Spoiler alert: It’s way better than it was, but it’s still not very good.

At least the name gives you a really good idea of the philosophy driving their UX…

… seven toes??

Fun background info: Trusted Representatives don’t actually carry their shard of the key (to prevent exactly this scenario), they have (iirc) a keycard which allows them to access the secure storage medium where their different pieces are stored.

Unfortunately I’ve found that unless they’re given a very definitive common focus, humans are exceedingly prone to spending their free time carefully cataloging their differences.

We need something in common for people to get along. Enemies are just very easy things to share between groups, but common creeds, ideals, projects are all unifiers of equal power (though they’re not nearly as convenient to find…)

Sure, and there’s a very important discussion to be had about the influence livestock has on the environment. But that’s a separate topic from the usefulness of pasture land for alternate purposes.

Most pasture/grazing land simply isn’t suitable for crop farming, which is why we use it for pasture. Be it because of water retention or lacking topsoil or whatever, it’s often the case that the only feasible way to produce food from an area is livestock farming.

They have rights to nearly all the timberland in washington, which covers about half the state. They’re unbelievably huge, it’s ridiculous.

Yeah I’ve spent a ton of money on much dumber memes, this one is tempting…

These seem fragile and very inefficient…

… Debian was on twitter??

This sounds like a great place to mention Linux Mint Debian Edition!

The problem is that other 10% where I have to spend my time trawling the arch wiki to fix my OS instead of like… doing cool things on my computer. If that’s what you enjoy that’s great, but your hobby is not my hobby. I’ve used arch on several of my devices, it can be great! But there’s this idea that arch is the perfect solution to pretty much everyone’s desktop problems and it’s crazymaking to see repeated over and over on here.

Dang it, you gotta come in here and tempt me to distrohop… That’s a dang attractive choice.

Debian with the mint UI. All of the debian memes, but none of the UI headaches!

Yo mama so dumb she stores all her archives as exFAT.

Hey guys I found the pig!

… “no u”?

Seriously though, cliche flaming aside, why did you come into this with such hostility? The initial poster was just talking about a situation where ubuntu is clearly the preferable option - installing an OS with the minimum of time invested. What does it accomplish, coming in and talking at length about why actually Arch is the best choice in this case but only if you’re skilled enough? The initial call out for elitism wasn’t based on it being about Arch, though Arch very much attracts people who say things like this, it’s based on you quite literally derailing the conversation to talk about how good you are with the software. I doubt you intended it to be interpreted like that, but it comes across so smug and self-centered that it’s almost painful to read. That is the introspection I was hoping for, that your comments are not read in the manner you intend.

I suppose hoping for introspection was a tad foolish on my part. Ah well.
