Why not just run a hypervisor and use containers?

Right, but what I’m saying the design to need these things was likely based on Deepin running their own distro. They don’t have to consider the security guidelines of other distros like KDE or Gnome, XFCE or Enlightenment would.

This is what vertical integration between distros and GUIs often leads to. This could be completely innocuous from Deepin’s end, because that’s just how they made it work in Deepin because they have vertical integration on their own stack. However, It’s completely bad form.

In general Deepin seems to adopt a lot of commercial software industry practices in building its tools, which I’m sympathetic to on some level, but it’s very obvious that the Linux community is not going to accept default-on telemetry. They should have known better after the CNZZ incident.

Vaxry is not a very smart guy if he’s like “What do you mean CoC violations?” when he has an entire blog page up about how he’s being persecuted that he starts with a defense of calling people the R-slur online.

The entire argument is that you can’t make an exclusionary space for people (no definition of what that means) but you should be able to call them slurs. No wonder CoC violations apply. Who would want anything to do with him?

I would much prefer the much nicer, organically grown mid-density residential areas of Western Europe

Yeah everyone would prefer to be rich rather than to be poor.

It’s funny/sad. When UAE signed the Geneva convention their terms were we promise not to commit genocide as long as you promise you don’t have jurisdiction to prosecute us through the ICJ.
