It’s not a purity test, it’s boycotting an admitted Nazi friendly organization. When Framework chose to embrace, financially support, and then when called out on it, specifically state that the Nazis are welcome in their big tent, that tent became a Nazi tent. That’s not a tent me or many others want to be in, because that makes the Nazis feel welcome and free to attack anyone else in the tent with no repercussions and with the full, spoken support of Framework.

Fuck that, and fuck you if you don’t like it.

There is some overlap among those, particularly 2-4 and 3-4.

Also, I’ve read a lot of comments from people for whom the Steam Deck was their first experience with Linux and they are overwhelmingly positive. I can see this new device having the same effect.

I understand the author’s intent to support artists by purchasing their music on various platforms, but by using Sabnzbd to download music from Usenet, this is essentially a guide to pirate music. The only thing in this setup that isn’t automated is purchasing the albums, and at one point the author says he uses Sabnzbd to download from Bandcamp. No, he doesn’t, that’s impossible; Sabnzbd is a Usenet client and nothing more.

I applaud the author for trying to be honest and support his favorite artists with legal purchases to justify his use of these apps, and it’s a great setup. But let’s not pretend that most people following this guide will actually legally purchase any music they download once they see how seamless and fun it is to pirate it.

And I say all of that as someone who has a similar setup with Lidarr and Sabnzbd, I am not judging anyone who chooses to pirate music. And I do purchase actual physical albums of some of the music I download so I can support my favorite artists. I just wanted to call out the author for being a bit disingenuous about his setup.
