Unfortunately the US doesn’t “lose money” on military conquests. Military spending is a central pillar of US economy. The more of it there is, the better for them. It is why they push for eternal war, and no it’s not because of oil, that is secondary.

Unfortunately bspwm is better. Binary separation allowed for just about any layout imaginable, but river does not.

Are you contesting that it’s “Forced”? It matches the textbook definition of the word

Deciding Linux isn’t for you is one thing. Even deciding that you hate Linux is… Digestible. But what kind of internal self esteem and validation issues do you need to unironically participate in a community called “Linux sucks”?

Hating Linux is one thing. Putting in extra effort to justify to everyone that Linux is hate-able is a different kind of crazy.

I don’t need the client computers to be alive, only the central server (which could be github.com for example, so not even a server I manage).

Is explicit sync for nvidia in yet?

That would require my machines to be git servers, right? And hence they should also be on, right? Or am I missing something? Most of the time, my laptop is shut off.

That doesn’t solve the problem of forgetting :(

I could train myself to get in the habit, but maybe auto saving is easier, no?

Sorry, but I’m not really following here. Do you mean like git add remote and have another remote? What would the source be?

Two issues with manual pushing that I have:

• you have to remember to push
• you either get more commits than you need, or you have to do extra work to either clean up or put them in separate branches

When I looked into solutions, I thought of syncthing, but read comments from people saying they had issues with this approach, especially regarding the .git directory

I mean… That’s kinda what git does, in a way… Right?

I have considered this approach, but there are several things I had issues with.

• there is still a degree of latency. It’s not a deal breaker, but it is annoying
• clipboard programs don’t work. They copy to the remote host’s clipboard. I bet there’s a solution to this, but I couldn’t find it from spending a limited time looking into it.
• in the rare case the host is unreachable, I am kinda screwed. Not a deal breaker since its rare, but the host has to be always on, whether the git solution only requires it to be on when it syncs

To address the issues you brought up:

• less commits: this would be resolved by squashing every time I make a commit. The auto save commits will be wiped. If I really hated commits, I could just amend instead of commit, but I rather have the history.
• forgetting to git pull: the hooks I talked about will take care of that. I won’t have to ever worry about forgetting anymore.

Which is great that we’re not talking about groups of people, but national lines on a map

We are actually talking about a group of people - banned from contributing to open source for being Russian. Read the post again before embarrassingly framing your sentences like a smartass.

Can you use your own words to demonstrate why my argument isn’t convincing? What’s not convincing is throwing around the word “whataboutism” and thinking that’s an argument.

No it isn’t. Read the comment I replied to.

What definition of race are you going by?

Oxford dictionary: “a group of people who share the same language, history, culture, etc.”

Merrian Webster dictionary: "any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry

Also: a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background"

Are you really still using debunked race science concepts in 2024?

Just because you group people based on a different construct does not mean you aren’t racist. What’s next, islamophobia is okay too?

So shouldn’t this also include the US and the many countries (most of Western Europe, plus others) involved in coalitions bombing the middle east and elsewhere?

It might not be what you’re looking for, but I use rsync (the android client is syncopoli). You will have to do some light scripting though (but no other apps involved).

What does a programmer need?

• a text editor or IDE
• language specific tool chains for building, running and testing your code

This doesn’t seem to be something a distro can solve beyond making it possible to install this stuff.

Maybe the closest is nixos, because it allows a lot of flexibility in setting up different development environments that are fully reproducible. Gentoo is also close, as it allows the same but in a different way (without the extent of reproducible guarantees).
