    What's your definition of ethnonationalist? It surely can't be as simple as identifying with your tribe, otherwise just about every nation except America would be ethnonationalist.…

    Nah, it's great. It's the only thing that keeps me on Linux tbh.

    I guess the term "sandbox" can become overloaded. I'm not thinking of OS processes as sandboxes in this context. > However, that’s a big “if”, since most of the linux sandbox thing…

    I forgot about those links. No, I didn't look at them. I've taken a quick look now. They seem to be about X and everything that's wrong with it, which is fine, but I don't see much…
