Wow, the children’s book you quoted is super deep.

What is “brainrot” about this image?

I don’t know much about login managers, but I do know that SDDM has been a pain in my ass on more than one occasion and on more than one distro.

Nah, not particularly… If you like it up til then, you will probably like it.

It’s not that I think it got bad or anything, but I think there was a noticeable drop in quality from season 3 to season 4 (the second Netflix season).

The first two seasons, when it was still on Channel 4 in the UK, were just so fucking good. Only a few episodes each, but man. And the Christmas episode with Jon Hamm, goddamn. So fucking good. Some of the best sci-fi ever put to film imo.

Then Netflix bought it. Season 3 was good, it had some bangers (I imagine Charlie Brooker had some of the plots ready to go already). Then… I don’t know maybe it’s because they were pushed to write like 3x more episodes per season? The quality suffered.

The show is still solid, and I will watch the new season for sure. But I don’t know, it’s just not the same as it was.

Fuck yes, Perry Bible Fellowship.

Best web comic of all time, hands down.

Wasn’t this an episode of Black Mirror back when it was still really good?

I know pretty much nothing about iOS, but isn’t Safari actually considered a pretty decent browser? Can you not use ublock (or equivalent), and other privacy extensions, on Safari?

Hell yeah! Glad I wasn’t the only one with this issue…

No, it means “reactionary.” Expand your vocabulary.

Is it healthy, or is it just the way it is? What makes it healthy?

I’m relatively new to Linux and the FOSS scene, but I’m not sure how I feel about the unquestioning devotion to a single person. It seems antithetical to the entire philosophy.

Even if he was maybe right this time…

The dude did a complete 180 as soon as they heard from Linus, like daddy made his decision, and it’s final, or some shit…

Edit: To be clear, I understand why developers respect and listen to Linus… I just think there are fundamental issues with this kind of top-down management of such a colossal project, and the desire to defer to one person seems antithetical to the FOSS philosophy.

Bluetooth ain’t faster than the speed of light

I’ve had zero issues with containerization or disk space personally.

Ah you might be right…

Huh, I wonder why I thought it was immutable.

Bazzite felt like a hassle at first, but it was really just about learning some new things and once I did, I really like it. Just use flatpaks for everything that you can. Otherwise, “rpm-ostree” does almost everything else you might need (and “ujust” makes it even easier). Read the man page on that and you should be good.

As someone who did too much tinkering on EOS (time shift was a god send), the ability to not have to worry about breaking anything is very comforting.

Breaking shit and fixing it is how I learned how to use Linux in general, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to avoid having to do it if I can.

I’ve been on Bazzite for 6 months or so, and have been considering giving CachyOS a try (not that I have any reason to, Bazzite has been wonderful).

Has anyone tried both and can speak to their similarities/differences? My (admittedly basic) understanding is that they are both immutable distros, and that Bazzite is based on Fedora while CachyOS is based on Arch. Are there other big differences?

I started my Linux journey with EndeavourOS, so I know a bit about how to use Arch already. Does CachyOS have something similar to rpm-ostree, but for Arch? Is it already basically pre-configured for gaming out of the box like Bazzite?

Edit: not sure why I thought CachyOS was immutable… Isn’t there an immutable distro built for gaming, similar to Bazzite, but built on Arch instead of Fedora?

I can’t wait to read the next version of the “First they came for…” sermon and see where Linux users fall on it…

What an absurd timeline.

Edit:

DistroWatch says that the Facebook ban took effect on January 19.

Right. Just a coincidence though, I’m sure…

Yeah there’s no going back after OLED.

After all, a projector emits light, and darkness is simply the absence of light. You can’t “make” darkness, you can only remove light.

I understand all this… But when I watch a movie, the “black” that I’m seeing in a particular scene isn’t the absence of light, because it’s not actually “black.” It’s a very very dark shade of grey or brown or whatever. And that requires light. Even if there is some actual “black” (spots where no light is coming out of the projector), there will still be a gradient, and immediately after “no light,” you will have a light attempting to project a very dark shade. And that will need light from the projector to display.

Maybe there is a way to encode a video for projector that accounts for this, I don’t know.
