		Btw, in case you might find that interesting: My overarching point is that the outrage here is about Home assistant essentially not being "pure enough". And I get that. I share those views. But the people complaining about it, for the most part, actually can't handle what it would be if it was as "pure" as they say it should be. Because that's then the role I have been playing here, and as you can see, that pisses people off even more than HA's friendly corporate diversions. So, essentially, my point is that people actually want things to be exactly the way they are, because it is less dangerous to the ego. Meaning that this is all just a charade. And a bad one at that that could not be further from the ideals, this platform wants to pursue. Intellectual curiosity and all. Good night!

Please reconsider what you think is respectful, because that was just straight up multiple personal insults.

Uh. What? Multiple?

I mean I can see the "I think your judgement is bad" could be seen as a personal insult (even though it is genuinely meant as an assessment of reality), but "multiple"?

Do you honestly expect anyone to believe that you didn't intend "memeOS" to be an insult?

No, why?

The sentence structure implied that I would have personally insulted this HN user and did so multiple times.

That is not true though.

What you did probably sense instead is more of a general abrasiveness-field. That was intentional (and obvious, for that matter).

So do you believe that it's acceptable for your comments here to be laced with insults throughout, as long as they aren't intentionally and specifically targeted at the author of the comment you're replying to? Because I definitely don't think it's appropriate behavior to be denigrating an entire Linux distro and anyone whose values align with the purpose of that distro as merely participating in a meme.

Yes, I do believe that nixOS (especially nixOS 5 years ago) was not to be taken seriously.

It was (and is) a never-ending drama faucet, because most people are in it for the identity and not for the utility. Or rather the utility primarily is the identity granted by using it.
