British character on British TV:

"you alright, man? My mum said you'd been feeling a bit down and could use a talk."

British character on US TV:

"Cor blimey, guvnor! Me mam gave us a right old bollockin' on that you'd bin down in the dumps and could use a jolly ole shot in the arm! Roger roger! Say no more!"

I love dietpi. The entire software install is a huge 1000 line bash script. If that sounds horrific, it's genuinely well structured and readable

(not quite sure where the hostility is coming from, but) if you agree that the base tarball of the distro is inconsequential, then one could argue that the package manager is the actual distro.

That is, using pacman on Windows is akin to an Arch installation on windows.

The base tarball that separates Arch from Debian or Gentoo differ in very minor structural ways, but the difference is the way they fetch, parse, and install packages is huge.

Given this small difference in base tarballs, one can make the case the Arch codebase is the pacman codebase.

My first intro to it was with postmarketOS, and I have to say it felt super light and stable

arch = base.tarball[0] + pacman
 
[0] 90% similar to all other linux tarballs

Yeah you can, music artists do it all the time - you get them on branding, merch.

They make the shows actually accessible so that they can reach the desired audience and generate a fanbase in the first place, which producers could then use to exploit for revenue.

If you covet a precious jewel behind closed doors, people will just walk on by without knowing its value

producers don't make the content, they speak to the right people in their exclusive circles to finance it, put their name on it, and then pay the directors and actors a tiny fraction of what it earned

They had to operate under the radar to avoid the law, so you know the answer to your question

well alright, but I'm going to have to report this

Does Netflix make shows? Or does it slam its name onto filmmakers it pays to make content? If so, one of those things simply requires throwing cash at people, which I think is a skill that most people can learn.
