  • One attendee shouted: “Play some music!” Others in the crowd were loving it.

    As someone who personally deflated the Periphery singer’s ego after they mooned us while we were queing outside, and he told us to “Buy merch between sets because we need to leave before the show is over” fifty fucking times before I yelled “SUCKS TO BE YOU”, I agree with the former.

    If it matters that much to you, write a song about it. Otherwise, shut the fuck up about your personal beefs.

    Napalm death did great. Barney proselytised a little bit ABOUT the song’s message before going into it. “Friends, there are many people in this world, still oppressed by slave labour conditions. This song is about them ‘ARGH ARGH BLAAAAARG!’”

    It got even better when they went into the older, very short grindcore songs. He just screamed the title before they went into it for like 30 seconds.

    Yes they did you suffer.

    Addendum : I was at the periphery show to see meshuggah.





  • my jokey response was already said by Allero, so I’ll tell you what I think draws people to it.

    1. Early packages. As soon as the packages are shipped, arch tries to get them in the repo, stability and interoperability be damned
    2. Related to the above, AUR. You can’t be bothered to build something? Get it from the AUR from someone who an be bothered to build it, but can’t be bothered to be the maintainer of that package. This then leads to the issue recently with malware.
    3. Minimalism. Arch only gives you what you need and you need to set up everything else.
    4. No automated help, thus, total control and responsibility over your system. Installed a flatpak? Set up the executable in the application launcher yourself. (NB : your mileage may vary, I’m comparing LXQT arch with LXQT debian)

    I’m using it in VMs only, and because setting it up is faster for me than setting up debian, which is my daily driver. Like I said many times in this thread, I slop it on using archinstall since it just needs the initial config, and I just walk away. The deb installer uses a wizard that “does stuff” while I go through it, so I have to stop and start. I’m only doing defaults anyway , so I don’t have to change much in the installer.











  • That’s the whole reason we had this AUR problem a few weeks ago, and that just kinda pissed me off so I’m reacting a bit allergic to these kind of memes.

    I had some fun trying to get started with buildbot and looked at packages that were pre-requisites and some of them were on AUR and I noped the fuck away from that shit precisely for that reason.

    I need to have set up a lil’ debian to have done this shit in an env that I am familiar with, but archinstall is that easy and carefree that I can’t be bothered for debian installer to take ages in each step.
