nixpkgs is still kicking off their build pipeline, they’ll be here in 4 days

The name “tapeworm” also predates the invention of tape. From what I can tell (Google search results) tape used to refer to any long, thin strip of material instead of just the sticky kind.

Generation proxmox?

That’s the thing though. If I’m going to need to be on-call tech support then Linux isn’t actually a better option then Windows. Sure it would be more private and less sucky but if the computer doesn’t actually work then that doesn’t mean anything. I’m willing to make ad-hoc workarounds to my own problems because I’m a software developer and don’t mind falling down a rabbit hole to get something like push-to-talk working with a custom pipewire script. My friends who want to play games and relax when they get home from work are understandably not willing to go through that hassle.

I’d love for Linux to be ready for daily driving but for most people I know it just isn’t. Maybe when Wayland desktops are more mature but I’m not going to make people choose between functioning shortcuts (X11) and functioning monitors (Wayland).

I could never get any of my friends on Linux (maybe I’ll be able to now that Windows 10 is dying) but I was able to get everyone on prism instantly because it’s just a better launcher than the official one in every possible way (it’s also on Windows and MacOS)

If it’s only for them then they shouldn’t mind getting their Wayland protocol veto privilege taken away 🤷

As someone who probably fits your definition of “young,” nah this is painful no matter how old you are. I’ve done this several times since high school and every time I feel miserable for about 2 days after. If you don’t get enough sleep it starts to become normal, until you start getting enough sleep again.

Sleep is important y’all, don’t miss out on it

Boruto is like 95% “anime canon” that isn’t technically filler but doesn’t move the actual story along at all

I think there is more evidence pointing to it being the runner’s cartridge or N64 having a hardware fault that caused it to happen. If I’m remembering correctly the runner said they had to frequently reset their runs because their game would crash for no specific reason, and they would reinsert or adjust the cartridge to get it working again.

Folds have water ratings but no (or worse) dust ratings. So you can use them in the rain but be careful in a beach, wood shop, etc.

The first number in the rating is dust resistance, and the second is water resistance. So an IP 48 phone (new Samsung folds) has the same water resistance but worse dust resistance than an IP 68 phone (e.g. S25). IP X8 means there is no dust resistance but it is water resistant. IP 6X would be the other way around.

They’re being pedantic but they’re also just factually wrong. The last few generations of Intel macs have an extra security chip called the T2 chip that makes it incredibly obnoxious to get the hardware working correctly on Linux. The wifi cards are also proprietary and you need to extract their firmware from MacOS in order to use them on Linux.

Edit: on top of that the last few generations of Intel macs didn’t sell well because they overheated and the keyboards broke easily so they’re already at a disadvantage in terms of support even compared to the apple silicon macs

You don’t need to have access to the source code (reverse engineered or not) to find security holes. However, people need to audit the source code to prove it’s secure.

So, closed source software is maybe slightly harder to find flaws in for a malicious actor, but significantly harder for users to audit (because you have to rely on the word of the company publishing the software, or a 3rd party security auditing company, or reverse engineer the code yourself)

Additionally, it’s harder for malicious actors to hide the existence of vulnerabilities they find. They can’t just not tell anyone what they find because the code is all public anyway. If people are looking at it frequently enough (i.e. if the project is still active), someone else will probably notice it as well.

Ubuntu 18.04 (2018) -> Manjaro (2019-2021)-> Arch (2021-2022) ->EndeavourOS (2022-present on my desktop) ->NixOS (2024-present on my laptop)

The blur looks too natural to be AI, I think this is either just a blurry still from a video of a cat swatting the camera or just good old photoshop

Edit: definitely just regular Photoshop because you can kind of see the point where they photoshopped in the extra arm (looking at its stomach it looks like it’s sitting upright)

Miller?? Is that you???

If you are fine with having things on the same OS, look into distrobox. It would let you set up an Ubuntu environment/container on top of your Bazzite install. You could also use something like OSX-KVM for MacOS with GPU passthrough (assuming you use a compatible GPU) which would simplify your setup greatly. That way you could technically have all 3 environments on one OS with one set of hardware but now the only thing being virtualized is MacOS.

(You could also dual-boot with MacOS if you wanted and it would be slightly faster than a VM but also more of a headache to setup)

Edit: Missed that you mentioned Windows but the setup for that would be pretty much the exact same as MacOS except getting GPU passthrough to work on Windows is easier (again, same limitations as MacOS though, and games with anticheats would be able to tell that Windows is in a VM).

Unfortunately I’ve met people who believe this literally

I think the minions really add to that. I could totally see this being posted unironically to some conservative facebook group.

In theory this is true but I’m gonna be so honest with myself, I can’t tell the difference with my iems and I definitely can’t tell the difference with my $30 Bluetooth earbuds

300 mp3 files in a folder called ‘Music’ on my phone, plus any local music player for playlists (shoutout auxio on f-droid)
