    Don’t bother arguing with that person… They’re a fascist…

    A server admin told me they basically report other people they argue with to try to suppress any discussion (they did it to me, and its what fascists do), and I know they’re banned from a lot of servers.

    Anything you say, will basically just result in them calling you genocidal. And they spend all hours of the day arguing too (so, I suspect they’re a lobbyist, or not allowed to work for psychological reasons, which makes sense because they seem to think everyone but themselves love murder). Or, the other possibility, is that they feel guilty and are overcompensating…

    ML is likely the only large lemmy server they’re safe on with no risk of getting banned

    Just letting you know so you don’t waste your time

    You probably know about it more than me…

    I’ve been onsite plenty of times when they’ve been cutting that stuff up. Some owners argued better PPE would be enough for the Stonemasons, but it won’t protect other people where its being cut.

    Furthermore, nobody NEEDS engineered stone anyway, and people tend to take shortcuts when they are in a rush

    And its mainly the workers affected. The people selling it are sometimes the ones who aren’t even cutting it up (especially because they know there are risks).

    Feel bad for my friend though who now has silicosis and no way to cure it.

    Except doesn’t this replace their old tool? So, its not really fragmenting anything if its replacing an existing project.

    Fragmentation isn’t great, but it can be beneficial in some cases too. I’ve contributed to a number of projects.

    Over the last 20-30 years, I’ve seen plenty of projects fail, and new ones take over.

    If you take a look at arts/eaudio and the other sound servers of 20 years ago. All failed, because Pulseaudio consolidated and killed them eventually. Now, Pulseaudio is on its way to getting killed by Pipewire. And one could argue its a waste of resources… but, the changeover is actually super awesome (for JACK)

    One other good example of the fragmentation argument was Xfree86. Lots of people argued against Xorg at the time, and ultimately, Xfree86 died ages ago. If you asked me 20 years ago, I would have said KDE was dead, but now Gnome and KDE and carved out VERY different products, that suit very different people. Both are awesome in their own way

    Everyone was freaking out when devFS got deprecated. But, udev was an amazing replacement

    Linux is evolving FAR quicker than Windows or MAC (mac OS has barely changed in a decade). And, many ideas introduced in linux are stolen by Windows and Apple.

    At the end of the day though, sometimes a rewrite is needed of things. What really matters is that it doesn’t fragment the desktop experience (and, it won’t in this case)

    Rather than downvoting. This is a good teachable moment

    I used to think this way, that it was about efficiency exclusively

    But the reality is, any contribution is better than none, and a lot of these things implemented you don’t really understand how important they are until a while later often

    One consideration also is that Germany is apparently considering to continue their Linux migration, so things like this may also be based on feedback from admins

    Suse has definitely carved their own niche as a Linux distro and it’s actually sad they’re not more successful because a lot of their tools are pretty cool
