Predatory forcing of circular dependency? (programming.dev)

I think ---DOCKER--- is doing this. I installed based, and userspace(7)-pilled liblxc and libvirt and then this asshole inserted a dependency when I tried to install from their Debian package with sudo dpkg -i. One of them was qemu-system, the other was docker-cli because they were forcing me to use Docker-Desktop, which I would not be caught dead using.

So is this accidental, or another predatory move by one of these 'ooh I wish I did not open source' companies (e.g. HashiCorp)? Why don't we all use LXC and ditch this piece of shit?

I could be misunderstanding how Debian-based packaging works. But this is too '''accidental'''. Correct me if I am wrong.

Ah, no worries. There should be an introduction-to-literature course in your native language, covering the classics and important works of your native culture. I still stand by the rest of the recommendations. By "bachelor of arts" and "bachelor of sciences" I mean how your college/university accredits degrees; computer science and engineering are usually "science" degrees but many universities have an alternative "art" version that you can choose.
