@likho That seems like wanting interpritation. Did you seriously read the usage of the word "you" to a general audience and assume that I must of meant that every single person who read what I wrote therefore must be hateful towards trans people except myself?

Perhaps your not a native english speaker but I assume you anyone reading that, aware that it is a general statement made to the general public, would be well aware of the fact that it is not intended accuse all people who happen to read those words to be the target of my statement.

@likho Well it certainly over simplifies, I have neither the time or the energy to go in full unabridged detail on a subject as expansive as that one.

As for making a strong assumption or accusation of hatred, how. I literally said "people who hate" I made no assumptions or accusations as to who qualifies as someone who hates. If you dont hate trans people then clearly I wasnt addressing you, if you do then I was.

The fact that you automatically feel accused or assumed of being hateful simply because I said hating trans people is bad might reflect on you more than me, either as someone who is yourself hateful, or as someone who is often wrongfully accused of being hateful, aand are just projecting.

Since I dont know you and you have not yet made any assertions that suggest hate I will not make any attempt to label you either way.

@madargon Don't accept their leaflet, hand the dude a dollar instead, problem solved :)

@herag being able to technically reproduce music is 100% of the skill honestly.. People who can add variation to or create new music on the fly, while that requires the underlying skill of course, I think that emerges more from natural talent then as a learned skill.

@likho Hateful according to who? me? Ultimately it depends on what that opinion is and why, but yes its possible, even if your opinion is wrong it is still possible. The devil would be in the details.

@lccmv I'm detecting some subtle hints that that might have been fact checked...

Whether you think trans peopel are weird, unnatural, mentally unhealthy, or whatever else you tell yourself to justify being hateful I have to wonder, why would any of that, if it were true, even be a reason to not care about someone, or at least to want to see them happy.

To be honest most hate is hard to understand in general, but this just seems particularly absurd. In the end when I see it I cant help but assume its just a reflection of the persons on internal mental issues, whatever they might be, and less about the groups they target.

I'm not really much of a musician in any sense but I just want to point out that people dont realize how even to reach a basic level in most instruments is a monumental task, particularly string instruments. It can take days or weeks just to make a single half decent note out of the thing. The number of man hours it takes of investment to actually play enjoyable music on any level is astounding. Musicians deserve a lot of respect no matter where they are in their journey, just saying.

@icedquinn

ahh i may have mixed some of that up... will have to play with my VM soon and check out some of the stuff out there I havent had time to play with yet.

@abloo

@icedquinn

isnt guix just the package manager for nix or something? I really need to re-read up on that as I may want to learn it.

@abloo

@icedquinn

Sounds ok by me, but I'd really have to play with it to get an idea... if its using haskell though that already is a plus. More chances I get to play with haskell the better.

@abloo

@icedquinn

Sounds a bit like chef actually just done using different languages.

@abloo

@icedquinn

This sounds very similar to the computer i envisioned during the 90's as a virus immune computer. Of course the tools to do anything like that were not really feasible back then.

@abloo

@icedquinn

I really dont like the non-rolling distros in my everyday life. But I must admit if its a device I intend to maybe update once a year or something then it is the only sane way to go. I use it often for my hardware projects with single board computers for that reason.

What i really want to try that seems new and unique and not strictly a rolling or non-rolling distro is guix. The whole idea of rolling back updates and doign them as stages feels like the best of both worlds. I say this as someone who knows only very high level vague details about guix.

@abloo

@abloo

Yea should be good then. Honestly all this talk makes me want to install gentoo again but im not willing to take the leap on my main computer just yet.... maybe ill pop in a spare drive and install it just for shit and giggles when i feel my life is getting too easy :)

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

This is true. But the problem has always been significantly less in archlinux for me than it has in gentoo. In arch i can always resolve it even in the worst case scenarios.. in gentoo it would happen more often and be much more severe.

Again all this is years in the past and things may have improved since then.

@abloo

@abloo

It does rolling updates similar to archlinux (but more so from source than from binary)... if you update often it almost always went flawless for me. That said when i finally left gentoo its because I hadnt updated a system in like 6 months and at that point the dependencies could not longer resolve and it became near impossible to figure out how to update the system. Not sure how common a problem that still is, but it happened once or twice to the point where it took me a week or more to fixand the very last time i just couldnt fix it.... so yea it became the reason I jumped ship.

That said I never once had updates be a problem when i was responsible enough to update regularly. Well not a problem I couldnt fix relatively easily anyway.
