Do you know the person they were posting? I just assume anyone that does 5hr YouTube videos is unhinged, and having it linked from someone randomly on GitHub didn't help my view of their followers. Finding the Unabomber confirmed it enough for me lol.

Interesting work, and an absolute fediverse way to look at a problem lol.
Also love the rule they pointed out that instance had of, don't do things that would make us write new rules.
I do wonder what insights can be drawn, from a skim it seems more about understanding how rules connect to each other, rather than build a broad rule base.
Love the comment that is like second down with a link to some 5 hour live stream. I skipped to a random spot in it and the guy had the unabomber manifesto up, and said it "detailed the greatest problem in society today". What a fucking drop for a github comment, 10/10 no notes.
Fake. Sheets are too clean
This whole exchange is interesting, but the second half I think this sums this point well.
Ultimately any real world problem has lots of history and different justifications, and I think mask of nuance is being weaponized to pull the conversation out of reality and into a rhetorical space of inaction.
Facebook would get more attention for the metaverse if they were honest about what VR is really like.
Rad! Yeah Arch is definitely has the mentality of, "Why would I need all that swooping pictures stuff when this HTML file works just fine?"
I currently use EndeavourOS, basically arch with an installer, and it's been great for me because, with all it's 'simplicity' and conciseness, the arch community is really great for documentation. And the Arch User Repository is an amazing tool.
Can I ask, are you in the linux community and just commenting on Arch's choices, or was this your first look at this sort of thing and are noting your observations? No judgment either way, just curious.
To your point, the definition arch is using is computationally simple, as in fewer 'moving parts'. In that vein, I think the aesthetic of some HTML on an information dense page makes sense. But I can see why it doesn't fit with what most would consider simple design with their computers.
I was curious about your experience with it, because starting using linux with arch a bit on the deep end, and other distros have more inviting set ups (and web pages). In fact I would say almost every single one is more welcoming in the sense you're describing than arch. To the counter point though, at a certain point the fluff of a lot of web pages end up as bothersome distraction, and arch caters to avoiding that sort of design.
They probably didn't want to split the players base
This is why fedora had a little bar after rebooting when I updated right? What am I a Windows user?!? This is the extent of my understanding of immutable distros and I am furious with them.
