You do it elsewhere

I don’t. They get a nice paycheck regardless and they choose to continue working for a psychotic asshole. You do have responsibility for that choice.

I hope that’s true, but this is a common refrain with various adversaries used as the boogie-man.

The scam goes something like this: A weapons contractor and military-funded think tank publishes a supposedly neutral “report” or a handful “U.S. officials” run to a media outlet insisting the United States is “lagging behind” in a sector that incidentally coincides with said think tank’s funders or government entity’s interests. Credulous American media mindlessly repeats the claims, everyone acts panicked, treating the warning like a work of good faith, sober and objective analysis. Congress then reacts and uses media coverage to rationalize even more contracts to the very funders of the think tank that raised the warning, further bloating the Pentagon, State Department and CIA budgets. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, all the while portraying the U.S.'s gargantuan defense expenditures as paltry and insufficient.

Yeah, my attitude towards this is that if I post something, I voluntarily lose control of it. Post accordingly.

It is gonna suck.

Aurora DX (which is based on Fedora atomic) has been the best distro I’ve used in a long time. Immutable OSes are great for general purpose desktop use! I set up a container for each development environment and never need to worry about conflicting dependencies anymore. But yeah, I wouldn’t go with Steam OS for that. Steam works fine on pretty much any modern distro, so I don’t see any obvious benefit to using it.

Same

Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.

The phrase “rogue state” to me always just sorta meant “uncooperative with the United States,” which the United States can’t be. I’m sure there’s a more useful definition.

Catgirls, jackalgirls, all embarrassing. Go full-on furry.

That’s awesome. Human expression is unpredictable and dangerous and the faster we move past it the better.

What a bizarre comment. People don’t need to have what opinions are explained, do they?

I’m with you. I appreciate Librewolf for what it is, but to me it’s just annoying by default and I’ve also settled recently with Zen. It has even made me get used to using vertical tabs for the first time.

That’s good, they might have improved. Mine didn’t last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can’t really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don’t manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

Yeah, I can sort of understand the impulse that everything must be preserved no matter what because we don’t know what will be useful or interesting, but it’s not realistic. Embrace ephemerality! It’s fine!

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I’ve used.

Framework hasn’t done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

It’s trivial to enable flathub, so it’s not meaningfully reducing the availability of software. It’s just a default.

Well, this is a simulation. All observations and measurements can and will be falsified by the designers of the simulator. What can ya do?
