what would microslop be without the slop?

You’re right. Women also like to stare at boobs.

Another use case I failed to mention: staring at butts.

But of course it does something. It blocks light, and let a man stare at boobs discreetly.

leave the poor billionaires alone!

Temu for RAM? Sign me up!

Hell yeah! To hell with that chip monopoly. National security my ass!

So you’re Nora the Unix Pornographer, huh?

Ah yes, the great filter.

Honestly, I’m on the fence of whether this is a tech news or not.

They’re BSD after all.

Thanks for saving us the trip!

You’re asking too much here. I mean, just look at who’s in charge.

So that’s why my system was suddenly pulling a hundred something packages when I randomly check for update.

Good one.

While old packages do ruin experiences, stuff changing too rapidly can as well.

Arch as well as OpenSUSE Tumbleweed are good examples at this.

There’s no free lunch. These people said it themselves.

Damn, I wish I have that level of dedication toward something.

They’re still going at it??

While I’m aware that it’s completely feasible and even practical to setup desktop on alpine, what drove me away was the fact we’d be ditching musl & busybox for more full-featured solutions anyway.

The systemd units are easier to create and maintain compared to the init scripts. The systemd itself can also be used as a one stop solution for cron, hostname, ntp client, dns resolver, tmpfile manager, even bootloader, and many more.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d use OpenRC where I can, but I totally see why systemd is popular.

As for the XLibre, I’ve never used it myself since I’d be upgrading to Wayland instead. My legacy systems remain on X11. I’ve read it’s quige buggy tho. At the same time, there are a lot of fanatics who are making this a big deal out of proportion.

Really? I have one open right now on my desktop, and I cannot seem to find it.
