It’s Ubuntu based, but it’s doing a lot of what Ubuntu is for. If canonical is happy with that that’s awesome, but I would suspect that they want these people going to Ubuntu itself. Ubuntu remains recommended against by a lot of people.

I’d still have fucking Adderall I’ll say that

For AAA yeah. This year however hades 2, kingdom come deliverance 2, and silksong all came out to great acclaim and still managed to get outclassed by Expedition 33. If that’s what dead looks like I want more of my hobbies to die

Vice signals. Still may want to call them to denounce it

May be possible.

“A far future construction of a dyson sphere may be possible, but remains highly unlikely.”

Quite/entirely/absolutely necessary. Quite is better for the negative while the other two are better for the positive.

“It’s not quite necessary that you bring a dish to the potluck, but it is requested that all who can do so”

“It’s absolutely necessary that you file your taxes by the deadline lest you risk an audit”

Oh so it’s an activist group that’s doing valuable work but has no need to background check for security. Makes sense, basically every activist or political group is on signal these days.

It becomes one every anti left scare (red, but also green and lavender)

I call bs, he’s mid at best at throating

I love the eyebleed aesthetic of it I’m just now skilled enough to get that on something like fedora or Debian. And these days what I want is for more things to work easier which puts me out of the arch sphere. If garuda hadn’t committed hard to the aur I’d probably love it but the aur does everything 3 ways 1 of which may still be maintained and it leaves you just wanting the actively maintained flatpak.

Like I don’t hate it, it was the right distro at the time for me as it was noob friendly and had plasma 6 when few others did. But I don’t need the bleeding edge anymore.

As someone who tried it for a few months then switched back for several years before returning permanently two years ago: Linux has long had the problem that it’s completely ready for different people at different times.

In 2017 it was in pretty good shape if you weren’t a gamer, didn’t mind tinkering a fair bit, were prepared to learn a completely different two ways of installing software, and didn’t rely on proprietary apps (I couldn’t get Netflix to work). I was only ready for the tinkering. Also I’d used Ubuntu and gnome just added more changes.

Five years later a lot had changed. I wasn’t using Netflix (especially not in the app) for one. But Proton had come around and made gaming just work. My wifi drivers just worked unlike before. Years of mobile app stores and a few months of lemmy had prepared me for repos, even though it still took some getting the hang of to switch from just downloading and double clicking an exe file. But also the software options are increasingly available rather than having to learn to use old school wine while in the middle of a massive change. I still think I should switch away from garuda at some point as I dislike some of the choices it made (no flatpak support for one), but I love aspects of it. And all throughout that time that Linux was getting more accessible to someone like me who isn’t a coder, but was tech nerd curious, windows was increasingly getting in my way and becoming anti user.

I think adoption will continue to increase as Linux continues to get easier for more people

Oh that one’s because he goes nuclear when they do. He funded the killing of Gawker because they outed him.

Does Thiel not have more money?

It’s Activision-Blizzard. It’s the same megacorporation

I really like More Perfect Union on YouTube. It’s definitely more journalism than news, so you get investigations into what’s going on.

Building up a good emergency savings fund. When things break I don’t even have to think about if I can afford to fix or replace them. I may have to make decisions on how nice of a version I can have, but I never have to worry I won’t have a car or may have to take a quick loan. Financial worries have become “how long can I be unemployed without issue” or “can I upgrade this thing” or “what’s our budget for a car/apartment/house”.

Alternatively 8 months of 5 weeks of 9 days with 5 days spread between them. 3 days off each week. Each month begins on a solstice, equinox, or halfway between them.

We can go as crazy as we’d like

If the private sector can’t do this then we must demand the public sector do it. I’m sick and tired of money ghouls deciding that things improving is financially unacceptable

Ooh I’ll have to check it out

Yepppp

Yeah that may be a sign of trauma. It’s a symptom I have
