I’ve only done it the “manual” way but I don’t think the script was even a thing the last time I installed Arch, which must have been close to 15 years ago now.

Oh it’s not quite as “from scratch” as some people make it out to be. It definitely can be more work than most distros, but mostly it’s pretty straightforward and you generally just follow some wiki guide or another when picking “components” to install and I think nowadays you can use prebuilt binaries too (I haven’t used Arch in a good while.) There’s really not all that many moving parts, most of them are sort of a package deal – if you want to use X, you have to install Y and Z. It really is more like building a PC from parts.

Now, if you actually want to build a Linux system from scratch, there’s the very surprisingly named Linux From Scratch project

I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet

I’d be a bit nervous about those rockets

Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.

But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s

The WHO hopes its latest declaration, that mpox is a public health emergency of international concern, will trigger greater support to the areas most affected.

Reminds me of Serena from Handmaid’s Tale – she helped install a theocratic dictatorship where one major goal was to strip women of their rights, and was all surprised Pikachu face when she had her rights taken away from her

The Phase II clinical trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of Incel administered intravenously

Mainlining incel, damn that doesn’t sound great at all

The amount of pants-shitting about the film from people who’d only read the books (probably not even all of them) was, well… predictable

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I’m very much a leftist and this is just something I haven’t managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it’s now owned by Orbánists

This is pretty much one of the sanest things calkearns has drawn, too

Some plans less so than others.

Also, I like this framing of users as the enemy. Matches my experience, really.
