Here’s a neat tip:

You can go to most publisher or developer pages on Steam and “ignore” them to prevent Steam from ever showing you their slop again.

Example:

1. Go to: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/Ubisoft
2. Click the “Settings” cog.
3. “Ignore this creator”

You can do the same with EA, 2K, etc. Don’t even give these parasites microseconds of your time when they release their next slop title.

Friendly reminder that conflating Jewish people with Israel is highly antisemitic.

Ethnostates should not exist. They will always result in the exclusion and harm of the excluded groups, as we are seeing now with the government of said ethnostate attempting to genocide Palestinians.

Both Nazis and the genocidal government of Israel are willing to enact violence to uphold their ethnostates, so in that regard, comparing Zionism (not Jewish people) to other ideologies that aim to build ethnostates is perfectly apt.

Hope this helps 🥰

Servo cannot come soon enough. And yet… it’s so far from being even close to ready for real usage.

If you’re mad that the flag of Israel is depicted next to a Nazi logo, I would remind you that Israel is not the same thing as Jewish people, nor does it represent them. Israel is representative of a Zionist nation-state, and nothing more.

Both of the ideologies depicted in this meme are centered around genocidal ethnostates, so nothing being said is untrue.

I don’t see many people running Alpine on bare metal. It’s usually in containers.

How do you like it? I’ve been curious about trying, but haven’t found the time.

You might’ve gotten an automated denial due to exceeding the standard threshold for refund eligibility. Make another request until it gets human intervention.

Never mind. While Nix containers do get you the small image sizes and predictable builds you want, nix, the package manager, is basically broken on macOS.

I use Linux, where nix seems to work totally fine, but the other people I’m working with use macOS, so I can’t ask them to install something that won’t work to produce images correctly.

I think I’m going to have to build the minimizer I was thinking of.

Oh wow. I didn’t realize that Nix containers built from scratch. That’s exactly what I wanted (minus having to learn Nix, but that’s not too bad, honestly).

Yeah. Statically-linked binaries are awesome, but many of the utilities that I need to run would require lots of changes to the source to make it happen.
