Ikey Doherty, the creator of Solus and AerynOS, is back with Barney, a Rust tool that builds Linux distros from source. So that you can easily create your own Omarchy.
In a video posted on YouTube, the creator of Solus and AerynOS called the money behind DHH’s distro absurd and promised to do it better with nothing. His answer is Barney, a Rust-based tool for building Linux distros from source.
The reason I brought up the comparison is because I think it at least tangentially relates to ethical software usage as well.
I came to a similar conclusion from another comment: nazis are not wholesome people, so they cannot produce wholesome code (I guess music doesn’t need wholesomeness to hit deep). This is my practical stance on the matter. Nazis have not produced a good enough operating system for me to switch to it.
But going back to nitpick, I don’t have a blink of understanding about machine languages (or coding in general for that), but I do have trust in the community, and the community has freaks that speak machine language and can inform me about any hidden malware. But I guess by now I’m just advocating for the devil. Thanks for engaging, it did provide extra gradients in my view.
I also have to trust the community in order to trust the system. But no community can help you, if the maintainers doesn’t do their job well, after you got pawned. There are lot of Open Source projects and operating systems I do not trust.
And yes I also get what you were saying with the media comparison, I did not try to invalidate your personal opinion by claiming the comparison wasn’t valid. I understand you were trying to make a point by that. I just didn’t want to go too far away from the topic, as this happens too often. So my apologies for the tone it may had (not sure how to put this into words). Also thanks for staying productive in the discussions, with political stuff involved this gets heated up very quickly.
