They do a few other opinionated things, like using the fsync kernel and layering Steam rather than having people use the flatpak, but it’s essentially as you say: atomic Fedora, pulling from Kinoite or Silverblue as the base before making their changes.
That’s pretty much the gist of it. They even have instructions for doing it yourself, using whatever upstream OCI image you want (including one of the uBlue projects).
BlueBuild is a spinoff project based on the same build concepts that was originally part of UniversalBlue, but they diverged completely due to eventually having a completely different scope.
You know, that’s probably something every Linux dev team could use: a volunteer marketing team. Devs volunteer their time, and not everyone can or wants to code, so it seems to me that there should be space made for other skillsets.
Thanks for sharing. Nice to know my Lemmy instance blocks them, but sad to see my Mastodon instance federating. I guess I should think about moving.
Yeah. If they were an ethically responsible company.
And we all know they’re not, so…
That’s really good to hear. I’ve wanted to give Budgie another try, but the lack of Wayland support has kept me away.
Congrats to all the devs.
Probably not. SteamOS likely won’t have any particular benefit on desktops over other distros.
Just download an Arch-based distro, like CachyOS or EndeavorOS, install the Steam app through pacman -S or whatever helper app they have for new users, install Proton Plus, and play your games. If you want to get into the weeds of immutable Arch, give blendOS a try.
I recommend, trying all of these in a VM first, btw. You can even practice doing a pure Arch install from scratch that way.
Anyway, SteamOS is almost certainly just a preconfigured Arch + KDE that has Steam and Proton already installed, with downstream patches for specific hardware they’ve deemed worth their time to patch (which will eventually make their way upstream).
B and C. Nothing should be on Facebook.
Aren’t group chats unencrypted by design, with no option to encrypt? (I don’t know, I don’t use the app. Just something I vaguely recall somebody saying.)
I knew somebody who was highly intelligent (was being interviewed for the CIA) and decided to go work for Facebook, because the pay was better. No compunction about the ethics of working for the disinformation machine that is Facebook, just saw it as a stepping stone in their career.
The people who work there must be masters of compartmentalization, because either they don’t care and/or see it as a means to their own ends.
Equally? None of them to Trump’s degree, by my assessment.
But then, we’re quibbling over degree of terribleness here. I’m not exactly a fan of most politicians or how they have been governing for the last 30 years, so I’m not at all saying things are rosy on the other side.
Could probably count on one or two hands the number congresspeople that can’t be bought.
Absolutely.
I don’t think they’re making that claim, just that Trump is easy to manipulate and buy off for anyone with the means. Everything is negotiable with him.
My own thought is that the wealthy corpos absolutely can and do purchase US politicians, but some of them have some philosophical guardrails that preclude stepping over certain issues. That number, however, seems to be shrinking the longer we have politicians who are allowed to get fat off of the people.
Oh yeah. They’re still in stock, but there was an article not that long ago that said LG was the last in a line of name brands that have stopped producing them. So what stock is left is the last of it.
Sounds like something an AI would say… /j
That doesn’t sound like physical media. Still sounds like streaming, so isn’t it still beholden to the same problematic VBR issues as other platforms?
This is a genuine question but—what physical media? Blu-ray players are no longer being produced by name brands, and DVDs certainly aren’t capable of storing the data.
It’s liquid helium for me. I won’t settle for less.
I wouldn’t personally buy one, but provided the spacebar was big enough, it probably wouldn’t be terrible to use. Not so long ago, mouse touchpads weren’t that big, so it could potentially work.
But for someone who cared about such a compact thing, I have to wonder if they would prefer a mouse nipple over a spacebar-mouse.
Looks exactly like it! I see no difference!
I don’t actually have any idea, I just like the wholesomeness of this post! Is it a deer?
I understand that logic, but “being the product” must not really be that bad for them. They might complain, but if it was truly distasteful, they’d do something about it.
And being exploited for profit and explicitly knowing it is about the saddest thing I can think of for my fellow humans. It’s no wonder the billionaires just take and take, because people let them.
