Let’s just say that I wouldn’t be surprised if they could find some gravy seals willing to kill citizens.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 days ago:
I agree that a general strike could do the trick, but the challenge will be getting almost everyone onboard while still allowing the working class to eat and have shelter. By design, working class Americans have little means of weathering a long term general strike, and the upper class has enough wealth to ignore it unless it’s a prolonged effort. A general strike for a few days will not cut it.

I don’t think this will work either. If Trump pulls the insurrection card, he’ll just use drone strikes to obliterate any homegrown force. Sure, US citizens are armed up. But the arms that citizens have are meaningless when it comes to things like high altitude drones.
I think this is what people outside of the US forget when they call for 2A people to rise up. The US government has made the second amendment relatively meaningless in regards to it’s original purpose. Kind of hard to fight back when you get vaporized from a dot in the sky.

- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 week ago:
I wash mine about the same, but I only buy new if they start to fall apart or no longer dry properly. Even then, they go into the scrap towel drawer and are used for dirty jobs. Eventually they’ll get too dirty and I’ll get rid of them.

I’m not sure I’m understanding your question correctly, but generally if someone is “too high” and “greens out”, they will be likely to have a panic attack, show general paranoia, and symptoms like dizziness and nausea. It’s not really a medical emergency, although to the user it probably will seem like one.
I speak from experience, as someone who has greened out several times in the past.

I thought that was the governor, not the mayor of SLC? The lake is (or was) large, with many sources, most of which are outside of SLC’s jurisdiction.

I loved Firewatch’s art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
As an ex-SLC resident, the mayor and the city doesn’t have that much pull over their sliver of the lake. The state reps and senators are really the ones to blame. They were also the ones that allowed companies to dump heavy metals into the lake which are now being blown into the valley for everyone to breathe.
It’s sad, I have a vivid memory of wading into the water as a child. In the area I went in at, you could walk for miles and the water would only come up to your chest. It was also really easy to float in, and brine shrimp were everywhere. It stunk, but as a kid, I didn’t care about that. It was just cool to be in a super salty lake.
- Comment on You Need To Quit Weed. 1 month ago:
I think it attributes a lot of things like being depressed from poverty and the state of the world to weed. It’s no surprise that depressed individuals use substances to cope, and it’s also strange that they seem to avoid that. I think not putting smoke into your lungs is healthiest of course, but I think they’re making the wrong correlation here.

Hmm, strange that the config file didn’t work - that’s actually how I do it (but with Mullvad and wireguard). No installation necessary if you can figure out why it’s not working.

Totally fair - you gotta find and use what works for you!

Ah, yeah, if your VPN only provides a run script you may need to try it in distrobox and see if it works there. It’s probably trying to put libraries in immutable portions of the install. Good work figuring Linux out, I know it can be a bit daunting at first but you’ll get the hang of it!
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 2 months ago:
That’s what immutable means in this case. You can’t modify outside of your user directory, at least not directly, on immutable distros. The files outside of your
~home path are read-only. You can override that a few different ways, however. If your VPN has a flatpak, that’s the easiest way to get it up and running. If you don’t care about more space (minimal, if you only do it for your VPN) being used, you may be able to follow your VPN’s fedora instructions, replacingdnfwithrpm-ostree. That will likely allow you to install as you can in other distros.Feel free to ask any questions if you have any, I’m happy to help.

For real, full AMD on Fedora is incredibly stable and smooth.

You keep saying this, but do not elaborate. Bazzite is not more complicated, it’s actually a lot less complicated and difficult to break by design, as are other immutable distros. This is precisely why it is pushed to new Linux users. It’s a good starting point to have something that just works and not have to worry about much.
It’s okay to suggest other options for sure, but don’t get snarky when people are suggesting what works for them. The main benefit of Linux is that you have a choice in the first place, and you aren’t going to be stuck with whatever distro you’re using if they decide to do something catastrophic.

I’ve never had an issue with any community tools on an immutable distro. Especially distros that have distrobox, but for the most part, the community tools I’ve needed use lutris or flatpak and do not require compilation. Do you have an example of some of the tools you’re talking about? I’m not necessarily doubting you, I just haven’t encountered it before. You can also still install things (at the cost of image space) with rpm-ostree.

Did you set up secure boot during setup of Bazzite, out of curiosity? It has the ability to function with it and should prompt you if I remember correctly.

Cachy won’t necessarily be a magic bullet for Nvidia drivers, especially for older GPUs.
It’s a good option though, I just wanted to set expectations.

People suggest Bazzite because it just works and is difficult to break or otherwise have things to wrong. I’m not sure what you mean by “struggles to keep up”, can you explain?

They think line won’t go up if they don’t shove it down every user’s throat. They’ve put most of their eggs in that basket.

That’s the thing, though, EAC can run on Linux if the devs allow it. There are games that use EAC that run just fine on Linux.

I used to be huge into Battlefield. Even on Linux, I played the shit out of BF4. But I will never be sad about avoiding kernel level anticheat. I don’t even feel like I’m missing out, quite the opposite really, especially after Saudi Arabia bought out EA. Why would I ever want kernel level anything from them? They’d have to pay me.
I guess that’s all to say that I just don’t play those games, and I’m better off for it.

- Comment on Getting Taco Bell 2 months ago:
I’ve gone to the taco bell nearest to me twice in the 6 or so years I’ve lived here. Both times, I waited at least an hour. One time in particular, I got stuck in the drive through for nearly 2. Their reviews over the years show things haven’t changed. I’m not sure why it takes that long to put the same four or five ingredients together, but the taco bell a bit further away doesn’t have this problem.
