I know I’m banned from commenting on DistroWatch Weekly. It’s been years since I was not allowed to leave even the most innocent comment there, regardless of the name used, regardless of the IP, regardless of the machine. Somehow, with an effectiveness that would make the CIA, the MOSSAD, and the FSB jealous, the fingerprint of my machine is added to the blacklist so that I can’t post again. Not even with a different IP and slight changes to the original text.

One year after my previous complaint, here’s another one.

I was reading DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 1161, 23 February 2026, and the section about The Guix package manager 1.5.0 made me write the following comment, posted under the nickname “Gargamel” and an IP from Denmark:

Jesse managed to write 2,000+ words about Guix that don’t convey any useful information at all.

How does Guix avoid conflicts with the distro’s libraries and package management system? Are Guix’s packages installed only for the current user? We’re not talking about pip or npm, so I doubt this to be the case.

Generations aren’t clearly defined in the official documentation, and Jesse only makes things worse. Are generations like dnf’s transactions, which can be reverted (dnf history undo, dnf history rollback)? If so, why isn’t such a comparison, or a comparison with something else that’s relevant, made?

Disappointing. The way Guix is shown here, there isn’t absolutely any reason anyone would want to use it.

This comment was at #11, and it disappeared shortly after it was posted.

A website about open-source operating systems applies a censorship much more absurd than the one in China. Fucktards.

With my usual benevolence, I sincerely wish colorectal cancer to whoever performs such censorship. They fully deserve it.
