None of which changes the fact that it's more expensive and clunkier, and none of which feels necessary.

You can get an Ethernet adapter for the Chromecast

A more expensive, clunkier product, with a bunch of needless fluff in it.

None of which are in this picture. The person in the picture talks only favorably of immutable systems yet is apparently against them, thus making for an easy target by arguing against themselves, so a straw man.

I'm actually positive to immutable systems, I just thought the argument wasn't great. I realize that's about what Skinner does in the meme, but it feels weak.

On second thought, I think the reason it was so jarring is because normally points against Skinner are in top picture, and the bottom picture has him abandon that line of thoughts in favor of something simplistic, thus changing his mind from one side to the other. Whereas here, the points against Skinner are at the end point of the meme, and thus he argues in both directions simultaneously.

This seems rather strawman-y

You can have a physical SIM alongside an eSIM. These days you may have to have at least one of them be an eSIM, as many phones only have one physical SIM slot.

So you need to change two settings instead of one to side load. Seems rather pointless.

If you develop on windows, Adoptium.net will give you prebuilt openjdk.

Only if you know it exists. It's not something that comes up when searching for it.

It's better in one way, in that updates are applied on reboot rather than pulling the rug put from under running applications. But I agree that it doesn't go all the way, as it doesn't provide a verifiable base system with clearly separated modifications. OSTree would be great.

Another possibility would be to distribute a base image as a btrfs send stream (possibly differential against previous versions) containing a compose-fs image and associated files. And then OS extensions could be installed with systemd-sysext.

64 for the wan interface

Nitpicking, but the address for the wan interface wouldn't have a prefix, so the host would just set it as a /128 (point-to-point)

Oh, I thought that was just a grouping

What's the difference between case 2 and 3? Those look the same to me. The three cases look like:

  • ¬complete ∧ ¬cancelled ∧ ¬null
  • (¬complete ∧ ¬cancelled) ∨ null
  • ¬(complete ∨ cancelled) ∨ null
