Oh, you have more than 4GB of RAM? Looks like the Linux Starter Edition subscription won’t be enough for you. You’ll need to upgrade to Linux Pro Home Studio with Copilot Standard for $35 a month

On all my devices I automatically switch light / dark mode / blue light shifts based on sunrise / sunset. Granted my computer desk is against a window, but I find that my electronic screens generally aligning with outdoor brightness works pretty well for me

And stay away from tea too. And silenced handguns aimed at the back of the head. Just so many accidental ways people are dying nowadays

at what point do we expect the individual to forfeit their life for their morals?

The amount of “why aren’t Americans just going out, buying guns, and shooting suspected ICE agents” has me thinking too many aren’t thinking through this question rationally, unfortunately

Yeah Walmart would rather just have

Don’t even need the government involved, which is ideal for them

Yeah I’m always saddened to see anecdotal “it works for me” or “it doesn’t work for me” comments about something like this, where it’s super complex and until we know the rules are in place and enforced, we should assume it is not working for those who need it.

Yeah this is another rugpull meant to allow the rich to get richer on the money of idiots

yeah a fresh windows 11 install has like 20 different control panels, all built at different times by different teams using different UI toolkits. It’s basically their philosophy to not unify anything but instead just keep bolting new things to different pieces of the OS, no matter how similar

yeah many linux systems will run fsck on mount as well if that same thing is detected, it’s not a windows specific thing

Well yeah, it’s built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I’m talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example

Yeah SteamOS is celebrated for its contributions to gaming, but good luck running something that’s not in flathub

And more than half a billion dollars adjusting for inflation

utopian

For them, sure. Feudalism is pretty utopian when you’re a king, not a peasant

They do, group number 1, billionaires who want their own neofuedal kingdoms

Group 2, Putin and Russia

What about the 4th option

Though the vehicle is either an original or cloned MAZ missile vehicle from the 60s, so not really impressive

This doesn’t really have to do with the number of fees at all. It’s “corrupt government that accepts corporate handouts further removes regulation on ISPs so they can implement shadier pricing strategies to further ill-gotten profits.”

There’s like two or three fees that are legitimate. Others are just a way to get people to pay more without realizing and have more trouble recouping their losses

The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps

Plus you might get free drugs, and maybe a story and a cool scar if they decide they only want a kidney

For my dev environment I’ve had great success combining home-manager and their integration with

https://mise.jdx.dev/

Sure, it doesn’t quite fit the nix philosophy perfectly, but everything is still in my home.nix file and my home directory, and and I can swap tool versions on the fly and direct IntelliJ to their locations pretty easily
