  • Yeah - this is very strange to me since it seems like that’s the bigger issue. Everything outside of $HOME is managed by a package manager of sorts. But all the stuff in $HOME is where the mess happens. distrobox does let you set an alternative home dir which is good. It seems like they should at least specify a separate XDG_CONFIG_HOME by default - then I could use my login scripts but application configs (for well-behaved applications at least) would be separated.








  • Reporters are very often not experts in the things they report on. You don’t want them injecting their own personal thoughts into every article. Picture an anti-vax reporter reporting on a CDC briefing.

    They’re reporting on what the guy said so that you know what was said. You can make the determination on whether it has merits or not and, in fact, you have. There are times where you need press to push back - that’s Journalism. But your average on-the-street reporter who isn’t an expert in everything isn’t equipped to do more than “observe and report” which is fine.
