I’ve read a few articles that said they actually are bringing in Indians at the moment.

I don’t think these people actually want to leave reddit. They are only interested in farming karma by complaining about it,

Not weird enough to be Pynchon but it was a good comment nonetheless

I had an ok experience with Arch and a 2012 macbook pro back in the day. Wifi and suspend all worked without any tweaking. Moved on to using a ThinkPad after that though.

They were just trying to prevent people from being tricked into installing Manjaro

I reckon this suggests GTA 7 is being planned to return to NY

Is “ricing” not originally related to customised cars from street racing or something? I personally don’t see an issue with it.

The activity itself is quite good for making people aware of how a desktop linux OS is working but doing it excessively is a bit silly so makes sense for jt to have a silly name.

Gentoo also cured me of distro-hopping

Whatever the UI in Jurassic Park is was a genuine linux interface at some point so maybe that

First thing I install is git, followed by emacs.

Then I download my init.el and my PC setup is complete.

I think new projects in Rust make sense but my - uninformed - opinion is that we should be wary about porting old C/C++ software due to those other classes of bugs you mentioned. The logical type errors I see at work and in open source projects using memory safe languages can be fiendish in their own way.

I know “fun” is subjective but I’ve heard mixed reviews from devs who have tried rust programming. The compiler is very strict for example.

Uh I guess we’d need to extend it to Linux + FOSS in general.

Power users: I think we should steal whatever the latest IKEA marketing team have come up with because the appeal is kinda the same as IKEA furniture where you feel more ownership over something having built it from the flat packed box your self.

Average users: does a degoogled chromeOS exist? You just need a video of someone playing with a tablet like interface, then choosing to postpone an update with no dark pattern om the textbox prompt.

One line slogan: Did you ever wish the people who made your software were more passionate about the product than their next promotion?

gnome is broken but there are better DEs imo

As an outsider it seemed more like they had an image problem than an issue with their concrete policies. Obviously it could be both but I got a sense people believed the dems were out of touch.

Wishing death upon someone because they are a libertarian (or hold whatever other opinion you disagree with) is trashy

He’s got such a hate boner for Kier Starmer that I’m kind of intrigued. Starmer is the most boring, beaurocratic politician you can find. I can’t understand what’s triggered this latest Musk mania.

I’m a millenial but one of my most conservative friends has parents who are total left wing hippies. Sometimes kids end up rebelling or defining themselves in opposition to certain aspects of their family members.

I find the authors concerns about security to be at odds with their enthusiasm for flatpak and systemd. Personally I don’t think containerised applications get as much attention from package maintainers or security audits. Systemd is also expanding into every area of the OS including recently offering a sudo alternative which is basically creating one massive attack surface.

You put more effort into this post than M$ did to their product
