  • Happened in my workplace, in the implied sense as a coworker I no longer interact with proclaimed I had “good genetics”.

    Some background, There is a massive amount of light skin bias in indo-eurasia. Pathan or Pusthans are a group of people in Pakistan/Afghanistan.

    We are stereotyped as “tall”, “strong”, “stubborn”, “beautiful”, " light colored skin", “black hair”.

    Of course this leads into eugenics. Because of course we get viewed as a “superior” people throughout Indoeurasia.

    I don’t get sick often? It’s because I am genetically good (implying others inferiority).

    I have lush hair? It’s because I am genetically good. (implying again).

    Overall interacting with said coworker was exhausting, and now I don’t. But this reality remains whenever someone learns I am Pathan.





  • You just described exactly why I would install an Atomic distribution.

    So they can’t run something they don’t understand, and end up nuking their install.

    The biggest differences in usage (dnf vs rpm-ostree) essentially function as a knowledge/intelligence filter to prevent fuckups.

    Everything I value is against “how long it will work without issue”, “how quick is an update”, and finally “how much effort do I need to help maintain it”.

    Atomic systems have netted me positives on all my values. The people I know who used atomic, have only approached me due to edge cases such as specific laptop fan issues, which weren’t hindered by the atomic system.
