Easy mistake to make.
- Comment on She's a keeper 2 days ago:
Too many people take things too seriously. Without context you just can’t make those sort of judgements.

Nope, she’s potentially the original, or a clone. rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Space_Beth

Tho I reckon personality is often more important than looks
For long term attraction, I agree. However, if we’re just talking about looking at for science, I don’t think personality matters much.

Without context we can’t know if it was serious, a joke, or completely made up.

I assumed it was a joke

That’s her clone.

Because we didn’t have the concept of “social media” before those sites. Or at least they weren’t popular enough to get a new category dedicated to them.
- Comment on twitter 3 days ago:
There are plenty of smaller content creators that are interactive with the comment section. Then there is also just the comment section like we’re doing right now. There are also live streams that get interactive as well. It’s absolutely a social media platform.

I can tell you, they’re not very good waffles. It was a funny interaction ordering it though.

Every job requires some level of contacts. The idea of a meritocracy is a farse. That said, I wouldn’t have that specific trade would be a job that is in high demand anyway. This is something that the US just doesn’t do well as we’ve leaned on China way too hard for factory work. That’s my completely ignorant viewpoint though since I don’t actually work in that field.

These days, you might be better served going to a trade school and learning a trade like plumbing, electrician, carpenter, etc… Millenials were pushed hard into college and there aren’t enough people in the trades now. They get paid well and are relatively easy to run your own business if that interests you.

Nah, Kim ultimately went with the plan and put the dress on. It’s not like she didn’t know what it was. It can also be other’s fault, but to say Kim had no fault is crazy.
- Comment on Noodle Fingers 4 weeks ago:
Is the dress worth more or less now that Kim ripped it?

It’s also ridiculous because a lot of this is done by volunteers. It’s not like a company trying to cut costs by opting to use cheaper AI over more expensive human labor. This is adding cost to add AI.

They’re begging for donations and then turning around and wasting money on running AI? Wtf

I fully expect it will taste awful. I don’t like cheddar on pizza. But I would still give it a try.
Side note, the cheese doesn’t have to be mozzarella. My favorite style of pizza is Detroit and that uses brick. Goat cheese on pizza is fantastic too.

I like Cheez-Its enough that I would try it. I’m positive I won’t like it, but I would give it a go.

Is it? It becomes much more like the phones and tablets that people are already used to. Go to an app store and get a packaged flatpak app and you’re done.

If all you care about is stability, check my other comments about the Fedora Atomic family. Hard to be more stable than immutable with built-in rollback capabilities. That’s why I currently run Aurora DX.

The biggest downside to Flatpaks is that they’re kind of containers. That’s obviously also they’re biggest upside. But with that isolation comes some bloat compared to rpms directly installed, some don’t integrate as cleanly with the host OS, etc… The Universal Blue images ship with Flatseal and Warehouse which help manage those Flatpaks. For example, if you want to add an external library to the Steam Flatpak, you can use Flatseal to allow the Steam Flatpak to access that directory. By default Steam sandboxes itself to just its own ~/.var area.
A word on toolbox. It’s really cool and it comes with Fedora Atomic spins. However, it was forked and the fork is called distrobox and is miles better. So much better that it’s my opinion that we at Red Hat should deprecate toolbox and just embrace distrobox. What is it? It’s really just a wrapper for podman. It sets up containers to act kind of, sort of like VMs or LXC system containers, but it mounts your home directory inside the container. You can share apps between the distrobox and the host. The idea is that you can create a distrobox for whatever thing you’re doing, install all of that thing’s dependencies, and work from your home directory, but never actually touch your host installation. Kind of like a devcontainer for your system.
Snap is the one we poo poo. Canonical is always going to Canonical. Just like when they tried to make the Unity desktop (which I actually preferred) and the Mir compositor, the community had already settled on GNOME 3 and Wayland. This is sort of snap vs flatpak. Last I knew snap used a proprietary, hosted by Canonical, backend. That’s a big no from me. I’m not staunchly open source or nothing, but there is just no reason for Canonical to be making proprietary anything.
If you can’t tell, I’m stoked about the immutable future of Linux.

systemctl enable syncthing@useris easier than dealing with podman containers right now.You should check out podman quadlets. It turns your containers into systemd services.

“It just works” is why Linus Torvalds uses Fedora and not Debian. Just saying… Debian does a lot of weird hand holding and many packages come with pre-configured pieces rather than what the developer pushed. They’re usually sensible, but if you don’t know it’s doing that it can be strange. For example, fail2ban on Debian will come with an SSH jail pre-configured. That is what most people use it for, but IMO it’s kind of weird that someone made that decision for you on an app that isn’t pre-installed.
In the defense of Debian vs Ubuntu, Debian won’t force snaps on you.

Silverblue is a totally different beast than what you’re used to. The filesystem is immutable with the exception of /var and /etc. Even /home is moved into /var/home, although a bind mount exists so /home still appears to be there. You are expected to use flatpaks for applications, toolbox for rpms that don’t have a flatpak, and very last resort you can overlay an rpm on the base image. I absolutely think this is the direction linux as a whole is moving. OpenSUSE has MicroOS that does a similar thing and Leap 16 will default to being immutable. Debian has an immutable variant, and SteamOS is built on an immutable flavor of Arch. The Fedora Atomic family specifically supports bootc. You are essentially booting a container as your OS. That’s why it has so much community buy in. You could try looking at the Universal Blue images I mentioned. Bazzite is gaming focused with the option to boot straight into gaming mode, Aurora is a general workstation with KDE, and Bluefin is a general workstation based on GNOME. Each image has a DX version that includes developer tools like VScode and Virtual Machine Manager included.
I’m also a sysad by trade. A consultant for Red Hat. I personally switched to Aurora DX and the only overlayed package I have installed is
clevis-dracutso network based disk encryption with tang works. Other than that I have the built-in stuff, flatpaks (Steam is installed this way), and a couple of utilities installed with brew (btop, nvtop). I also don’t want to manage the OS. Getting the OS updates as an atomic image is very appealing. OStree also allows you to rollback if an update does fail for some reason… Doing it this way makes your OS kind of an appliance that you run applications on top of instead of alongside. - Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 months ago:
Fedora is the obvious answer for you. It’s upstream from your upstream. It has the same tooling you’re used to, but newer packages. A less obvious answer is to embrace the atomic/immutable future and look at Fedora Silverblue or the stuff that the Universal Blue community is putting out. I switched from Silverblue to Aurora-dx and I’ve been extremely happy with it.
