Sorry, I was not replying to you (not an insult). I assume you are interacting from Mastodon from the format of the comment, and getting pinged on replies to other comments (?). I mean, you do you, absolutely not going to diss people who want absolute control over their system. But immutable distros are fundamentally an entirely philosophically different approach from how traditional Linux distros have been packaged and managed in the past. That said, I didn’t make the installers, I’m just reporting what has been my recent experience toying with immutable distros. The whole point is to automate as much as possible of the deployment and management of an OS, and do the least amount of tedious manual troubleshooting. If you don’t like that, all the other distros are still there, they haven’t gone anywhere. The current recommendation for Fedora Atomic based distros is to use specialized tools like Universal Blue that allows the user absolute freedom to deterministically configure a Fedora install that results in an immutable OS. And the installer is actually pretty flexible to let you choose how you want the disks laid out. But, the idea is that you should let the installer do its job, that’s for what it was made. If you want to do everything by hand just use Arch, that’s what Arch is for.

You should let the installer do the partitioning. Silverblue and immutable systems are nitpicky about it. Specially if luks is involved. The whole point is that you shouldn’t meddle with the system at a low level at all.

Did you reformat the disk before installing? I’ve seen similar fails when the disk is still encrypted. The installer can’t get a hold of a previously encrypted disk. If there’s no valuable data in the disk, load up a live distro run gparted and nuke the disk blank and pristine again, as gparted doesn’t care about encryption. Then try the installer again.

Factorio is a casual game. You see a person with a massive base that makes a gazillion science packs a minute, don’t get intimidated. They have no clue what they’re doing either, and probably already forgot how a third of their factory is put together. They have just been in the game for longer.

I didn’t have much choice. Where I am imports are heavily restricted and the market is not very keen on alternatives anyways. I already had a slim number of options to begin with. Importing a linux first brand, a used thinkpad or a fancy framework as is the fashion on the first world would’ve cost me about three times what I paid for the model I got, and I already got it with a bit of overcharge. Just on port fees, taxes, etc. Trust me, I did my research and this was the best performance and compatibility with linux for money I could get where I am. Windows 11 license cost is not even a factor, we just don’t get a choice to not factor it in the price.

So, I just bought a new laptop. It came with Windows 11. But anyways, I’m writing this comment from a freshly installed Bazzite Linux OS.

The overlords decided that comics are for selling shit to nerds and cartoons are for selling shit to children. Now that nerds are all over 30 there’s no need for comics anymore, duh!

But in general, Japan is still way more into paper publishing still. Much more than the western world.

He is also very heavy handed. The entire admin team is (not necessarily a bad thing). I was banned from a community for reporting a comment that insulted me directly because they didn’t like a joke I made. The joke was a harmless word pun, the comment I reported called me an idiot. But I was the one banned. Resource? None, calling the mod chat to argue a community ban is discouraged and also an offense. My account could be banned just for pointing it out in this comment. But that’s just the way things are here. I had to block FS because he tended to argue in bad faith with me whenever I happened to comment in the same post as him.

We actually suspect they do. They can also display intelligent behavior, from a certain definition of the concept.

If anything is close to having a consciousness and experiencing an array of emotion, including suffering. That’s a mushroom, much more than a plant.

Undo is a function of the Android API, not the keyboard. All phones can do it. It is usually the app’s responsibility to implement its button because the feature extends beyond the realm of text input.

They’re already consolidating in streaming services that bundle content packs.

The curved edges were the precursor tech to having a foldable screen. No matter what is said about the Apple vs. Samsung debate, Samsung is still the one responsible for the praises on Apple’s screens. They have tried with other manufacturers and providers but can’t escape the fact that Samsung is still the major leader on displays as they dump a shit ton of money on R&D on all LED screen technologies, specially manufacturing at scale. If you want high end screens, you just go with Samsung, period. The alternatives are constantly playing catch up with them and they are actually experimenting and trying to come up with new and original stuff. LG and Sharp are also really good, but their screens aren’t as premium as Apple wants them to be, though they are more affordable.

For every AirPower there’s a $999 ProStand. Apple is just a greedy company, like everyone else in tech. They are just more picky on the bullshit they sell, but they still sell bullshit.

As someone with the opposite problem, too formal and not very good at casual writing. Truth is, formal writing is robotic and in today’s context it is regarded as awkward except in a few places. Most of the samples online that the bots are trained with are overly formal examples. 99% of cover letters are never published online, so that’s an area they’re lacking. What they have access to is the awfully generic slop that’s impersonal and meant to sell online workshops about writing cover letters.

There’s a very difficult task in making formal writing feel natural and warm. I would advice instead to aim for transparency. A cover letter is supposed to highlight a match between your skills and personality, with the company role’s needs and work culture. It’s not a cold sales pitch, you must show that you did your due diligence about getting to know the place before applying for the job. As long as it sounds like the genuine you talking, not a façade, it doesn’t has to be too formal, just keep the content and vocabulary professional. How you would talk in the workspace with a coworker that you don’t know too well yet. A cover letter is more like corporate flirting than lawyer speak.

As for material, read the basic common sense guides online, but, and it is a big but. Also read a lot in general, specially in English as it isn’t your first language. Unlike LLMs humans are actually intelligent and we can use experiences from other contexts, and good writing in general shares common principles across all genres. Even if every genre has specificities, they’re usually an addendum or exception of general good writing. Variety is the spice of life.

Most tolerable is far more accurate.

We stopped developing quality self-hosted forums and somehow now everyone is all over live chats. Chat is the worse form of communication to create permanent records of support issues. It’s the flipside of Wiki’s problems. They use hidden wikis to host discussion of wikipedia articles, moderation and other topics and the thing is a nightmare because it is not suited for conversation. FOSS development needs something that can do both. Live group chat for general discussion, with a static discussion forum for single issues, and a wiki where it can all be archived as structured articles. There’s currently nothing popular that fills the bill.

They all fall for turning KPIs into goals. When KPI become targets, they stop being KPIs. They often forget that KPIs are supposed to be used for informing the evaluation of desired outcomes, they aren’t outcomes on themselves. At most they could be activitie’s outputs. There are also many more stats and information that can feed the evaluation of outcomes that aren’t KPIs, and qualitative evaluations are most definitely a must.

Recently I had to replace my mouse, bought a G502. The mouse itself is a solid quality mouse. But then, three months in, the USB cord split the covering plastic and exposed the wires, right at the connector. I chose it wired specifically to use with a desktop computer that doesn’t move anywhere. It was meant to be a stationary mouse, I plugged it once, then never unplugged it again. Then one day while dusting the case I noticed the damage. Nobody touches this computer but me. The only explanation is that it came faulty from the factory and just a little heat from the case made the plastic open. I honestly didn’t want to bother with having it replaced, just sealed it with shrink wrap and moved on. But I won’t ever be buying another Logitech product.

I mean, I’ve been downvoted to hell just for saying “hey, writing is the core of a movie or series, good production can rarely salvage a bad script”. Then I was crucified.
