I just really like portage, I guess. I know how to use it, and learning how to do the same thing in guix doesn’t offer any benefits that I know of that matter to me, yet. Maybe one day.

I use Gentoo, and atomic just doesn’t seem like a fit for me. That said I could see it being great for people who don’t tinker. If I were to get a family member to use linux I might pick an atomic distro.

I reject the term “glizzy”. Call it a sausage like a civilised person. Or a snag if you’re a bogan (no judgement).

I assume they’re talking about the idea that tolerance is a social contract, and that people who do not abide by it are not protected by it either. I.e. It is not a contradiction of tolerance to not tolerate intolerance.

Man I picked the best time to take a serious shot at daily driving desktop linux. Most of what I want just works and new stuff is always just around the corner. Just got NTsync on my preferred kernel, now wayland session restore is coming.

My go-to is “What happens when you try?”

I still cannot believe half of you maroons voted for this. So now doge has a serious .gov DNS entry.

I mean that literally, btw. I cannot believe half of you voted for this, it’s impossible. If it turns out there really was election fraud this time I will be completely unshocked.

I know Germany is shutting down its reactors and without Russian gas they need to get a reliable baseload power generation from somewhere… :/

Fuck off, mate

(just joking :))

Hmm, no not that one. Tho it is a good video and says the same kind of thing :)

Wait, Syntaxerror Musk is trans?

I think it’s a cool name. And I dunno if it’s still a thing but I remember back in the day posts were called toots or something, which I approve of. :P

He even said something on the lines of “This Tom Scott is a character. Based on the real one, but nonetheless.” I forget his exact wording, or which video it was in.

There’s a point to my pedantry here. Did you read my whole post or just the first few words?

I’m not an artist but I know a lot of them and basically only use twitter to follow them. And honestly, the ball is in their court. I see a lot of them complaining about shadowbans and it being impossible to grow a following. But nobody wants to jump ship to a place without an audience.

The problem being there will be no audience sitting around a new platform waiting for a show to start. They need to start double posting, IMO. Being the change they want in the world. They don’t have to quit twitter, but posting content to twitter and mastodon (for example) would give their audience a reason to move, would give them a chance to grow, etc.

There’s even apps like PostyBirb that can do the multiposting for you.

GTFO Electron, I hate you :P

The planet is fine, and will be fine after we’ve gone, much like it was fine after the other mass extinctions. What’s dying is the environment that supports human life. Less snappy, granted, but I feel like emphasising that this is our problem and not something we should do for others might be worthwhile.

You don’t need to add “-like”, The Verge. This fits the definition of malware.

Petition to force anyone talking about software to use “trendy” or “fashionable” instead of “modern”.

Does Starfield count? I know it’s not out yet but I have no plans to get it until/unless it starts getting near universal praise for quality and stability.
