  • No one said “Compared to the US.” You added that part yourself.

    It can be simultaneously true that “The UK and Germany still have a better human rights record than the US” and “The UK and Germany are really failing at upholding human rights.”

    People in the UK are being arrested for saying that the genocide in Gaza is bad. People in the UK have to submit their ID or a face scan just to log in to Discord or Spotify. Trans rights are being systematically eradicated. Are you going to tell me that those are all good things as far as human rights goes?

    The worst part about the dire state of human rights in the US is that it lets everyone else get away with shit like this while saying “Hey, at least we’re not those guys.” The last thing you should be doing is supporting that kind of excuse.



  • Best I can tell they were trying to remove all packages that depended on a specified package, but fucked up the syntax?

    Apk del --purge removes a package with its dependencies. Rather than specify the package directly, they’ve provided the output of one command piped through another. The first command is apk info -R which would in theory give the reverse dependencies of a package, if they’d given one. The second command is an awk statement that just grabs only the first column of each line that gets piped into it. I’m not sure why it would take 60 minutes to resolve though, since I’m pretty sure apk info -R with no package specified would produce no usable output. Also, ctrl-c exists.
