I don’t do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.

My deal-vulture in-laws will love this. I just hope low-cost still pays for aircraft maintenance and safety.

The reaction is funny too, because in my experience comparing communities of various distros, Fedora’s community is among the the most inviting and professionally-behaving of them.

Personally, I am not running Fedora at the moment, but probably will when my Framework 16 arrives, since Fedora is officially supported on it. And to be honest, I find that I am making the same choices with Arch as Fedora would have made for me (aside from bootloader), so I feel that I’m wasting a bit of effort.

Enjoying it, and time.

If paper is good enough for wiping the shit from my hands, it’s good enough for wiping the shit from my ass.

Makes sense. You need geological time scales to describe how old that BlackBerry is that the person is holding.

I hope Air Canada doesn’t fly Air Canada on the trip.

These comments really speak to me as someone who is comfortable in Arch but mildly interested in NixOS. The concept seems great, and it seems to work very smoothly when it works. Yet there are always these war stories where people have had to fight the system, to debug some misbehaving hack that is nonetheless required to smash a particular package into the NixOS mould. It is discouraging. The idea I get is that NixOS involves more time doing OS curation chores than does Arch, which already hits the limit of my willingness.

Flakes are another issue. The pre-flakes way seems to be de-facto deprecated, yet the new, flaky way is experimental. I don’t want to waste time learning a doomed paradigm, and I don’t want to depend on anything experimental.

For me, configuration files in git plus btrfs snapshots is just so straightforward. I want to see NixOS as a better way, but I can’t.

My elderly relative who uses eye drops also has regular eye infections. I’ve told her primary caregivers to watch out and maybe stop putting drops in eyes if they can avoid it.

They recently made that level unlimited. That’s when I became a customer. Before that, I agree, not worth it.

I’m a happy Kagi convert, but yeah, this post is indistinguishable from an ad. A disclaimer and perhaps a rationale for posting would have helped.

Sounds like 1P handled it about as well as they could, and the attacker didn’t get very far.

Unless the load was improperly secured, or the driver was not driving safely, which we don’t know yet.

I recently installed Edge for a technical reason and was instantly grossed out by all the stupid bling they’ve added to it.

I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.

No, it was to run Teams as a PWA on Linux.

I might actually do that.

Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.

In my opinion, we either have free will, or we have something else that is effectively indistinguishable from free will. The whole debate is a waste of time, and a person should act as if they had free will regardless of the answer.

How could we have predicted such an unprecedented action. /s

Surely the judge will find the state in contempt of court and have the state jailed until the state produces the required information. /s
