  • You don’t die in Elite. You escape in an escape pod and are recovered by the PFRR. Honestly, it’s a good universe (if you can afford the ship). You have infinite insurance without any reputation repercussions and with an absurdly small copay, can go anywhere you want, and can actually earn money instead of living your entire life doing the same monotonous job. Even smuggling, piracy, assault and attempted murder (Odyssey’s “death” message implies life-endangering injuries) is forgiven by a very short time in jail and a fine. Also tuning your craft is allowed and in part encouraged.



  • There are valid use cases for JS and AJAX, but they are few. HTML/CSS is great, and has gotten many new features that can replace JavaScript in the long run: Popovers, commandfor etc. One thing I am missing is opening arbitrary popovers on a long hover. For that, you still need mousemove event listeners.







  • Distros are a matter of taste, and you shouldn‘t judge someone over it. But a bit of friendly fun-poking is alright (e.g. „NixOS user spend all night configuring their PC“). Insults directed directly at a person are never OK. And there are of course distros that are objectively bad (like Ubuntu), and you can criticize their creators, and maybe try to convince the users to choose something else (that‘s where Mint is from, kind of), but you cannot. hate. on. them.
