It’s wild how the right to form a well-regulated militia includes leaving semiautomatic handguns where children can get them, but what can you do?

I also started on Ubuntu. They used to be pretty great, good device support and basically no hassle. But I am done af and not going back.

I think they are very much capitalist. And then surely the Civil War that poors fought on plantation owners’ behalf should also be blamed on capitalism?

That’s different, because of reasons. When someone dies within a communist system that is communism’s fault. When someone dies in a capitalist system, that’s their own fault for not tugging on those bootstraps.

Somehow I assume you don’t associate capitalism with chattel slavery and apartheid. But you do associate corrupt authoritarianism with economics when it is system that you don’t like.

I agree. A viable long-term economy needs an organized working class that isn’t sleepwalking through life. Would be cool to make the economic system not inherently hierarchical also.

Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

A lot of debs add services to systemd, do those just skip that part?

That attack surface is not vanishing. It’s would be relocating the same attack surface to something that might have an xz library in memory.

If we could get an LLM that uploads all our data along with an ad server in our desktop apps, then we’d really have something going.

I mean, this is a win-win. Unfortunately the people who have purchased our politicians probably won’t see it that way.

Donald and his Trumpanzee cult are the giant domino, it is crushing us alongside the conservatives who pushed the smallest one.

I saw them give trillions of free dollars to companies that had just received three years of extremely vigorous tax cuts.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read.

I’d love to see a robots.txt do a couple safe listings, then a zip bomb, then a safe listing. It would be fun to see how many log entries from an IP look like get a, get b, get zip bomb… no more requests.

A Universal Blue derivative and rollback if there’s an issue is LTS enough for me.

For an LTS LTS, I’d be looking at Alma or Debian.

What is “way” out of date, in your mind? I thought all LTSes were on kernel version 5-something at the moment.

“To make my computer do as I wish I simply need to lie about my country of residence. I am very technically adept.”

TBF I do find that confusing. I’m used to human-readable conf files that persist across updates. But I can see how non-technical users might think understanding a collection of tricks is knowledge of their OS.

I wish our indolent government would do its job breaking this shit up.

1. Pay for the hardware

2. Pay for the software

3. Subscribe to your own machine

Get your wallet out, serf. The landlords renting your computer to you need another yacht.

I like this distro a lot and want to learn about it. I’m actually using Bazzite rn.

But this format isn’t really grabbing me. It is actually kinda killing me inside. Like being at work peer programming when the other person has control of the inputs.

I used to be cynical about the findom stuff, but I guess some people really get off on being forced to subscribe to their own machine.
