Arch Linux

Unless you’re on a good downstream like SteamOS, I’d suggest switching to something stable cutting edge (Fedora or Nobara if you want to put in zero effort).

Arch by itself will give you way the hell too many possible problems. You could waste hours on DKMS alone.

Mint will also work, but it has the downside of having slower updates to software packages.

Considering they’re such a big contractor I actually wouldn’t be surprised if it somehow ended back at Boeing’s feet.

I’m waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.

It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.

Aside from blatantly stupid claims with zero evidence, why would Hamas have any reason to waste any sort of resources and energy on their own people?

You could at least vaguely make a statement about human shields, but no let’s go with “obviously it was Hamas because it’s always Hamas, even when Israel itself says it wasn’t Hamas”

I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn’t make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

I’m gonna be honest I’ve never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.

There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.

So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.

Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.

I like how all these answers involving science fail to realize that the scientific method was used exclusively by many scholars and students who had no historical evidence of giving up their religion.

Empirical evidence is as old as humans, and afaik the modern scientific method has been in use since the Islamic golden age if not older.

The key here is that many of these people did not consider religion an empirical issue but a philosophical and ethical one. Particularly with the monotheistic religions, this would make sense because you can easily argue that it would be impractical to test for the existence of God.

I think a better question would be why do people believe in their respective religion if it contains a glaring contradiction(s).

Sort of. Pretty much all of suburban housing is cookie cutter houses made out of the cheapest possible material available. Really the only improvements we’ve made is better insulation and standardized 2 way heat pumps.

I can’t imagine apartments and buildings are much better when you can just slap an AC onto anything and call it a day.

DTE really went downhill these past few years. Been blowing transformers left and right during weather that would otherwise be considered normal for Michigan.

No idea if it’s cuz of age or unresilient setups, but the amount of power outages has been going up.

Because the vote system inherently supports popularity which creates content masking issues and usually results in communities with mods that want to keep that system.

Stack overflow has this exact same issue where stupid crap gets upvoted and useful stuff gets nuked so users don’t see things that would otherwise be important or useful.

Lemmy somewhat avoids it due to the relatively low number of posts, but that could easily change.

I don’t get why people think this idea is equivalent to stuff like internet access bans or COPPA, it’s a warning label, not an “enter your ID” to access page.

They never banned cigarettes, but putting a giant warning on the box did help in vilifying cigarettes as very unhealthy and wrong.

I doubt it’ll go anywhere in this age of government, but its exactly the type of thing I would have gone for if I were tasked with solving a societal issue. It’s smart because it has no real effect on access, so social media companies would have a harder time fighting it, but it also gives a big bloody warning which does have a substantial psychological impact on users.

iirc someone did something similar with a very simple “are you sure?” app that gave a prompt asking if you were sure you wanted to post something or send a text. Just having a single prompt was enough for many people to reconsider their stupid text or comment.

Yeah except Biden isn’t broad appeal because everyone thinks he’s done nothing substantial, which is partially true.

There’s a 0% chance Michigan will be blue this year, and I’m sure many other swing states will follow.

I think he somehow values his Israeli support in government over his actual voterbase, which is absurd because that’s exactly how you lose elections.

The second would probably be rolling release because of the amount of packages lmao.

Actually hitting a modern USN vessel with cruise missiles is like throwing a dart at a haystack and trying to hit the one needle.

Actually hitting a modern USN Carrier with cruise missiles is like throwing a dart at a haystack guarded by the ultra rapid fire death laser 3000.

I said it before, but I’m pretty sure they only sunk the one container ship, and even then after a week of it slowly taking on water.

They voted a genocidalist who also happened to have some big industry projects that revived the economy.

Not really a great comparison considering both POTUS options are genocidalists with pork barrel projects that won’t actually revitalize the economy.

It’s earily identical to the 1932 election candidates.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/29fa8268-2e90-4708-8f19-d084f5a9f634.jpeg

Hindenburg was the centrist incumbent, he didn’t go around publicly calling for genocide like Hitler did, but then he placed Hitler and some other Nazis in key leadership positions because he wanted to ally with his party, and two years later Hitler seized power after his death.

Biden has never called for a genocide, yet he has been actively funding one for 8 months while all the progressives in his cabinet are quitting. He seems unbothered by an election loss to Trump so long as the Pentagon’s foreign policy succeeds. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he dies in the next 2 years considering his health and stress of being president.

People don’t understand that Trump is a symptom and not a cause of the system. Even if he loses this election or dies or is disqualified, another equally or even more insane Republican will take his place. Meanwhile Democrats have refused to actually pass sizable progressive policies for 30-40 years. Biden only got to make his $15 minimum wage promise for only federal employees via an executive order because the party fell apart in congress with an actual bill. This will only lead to more republican voters.

Part of the issue is two party politics, but another part is the DNC refusing to combat fascism because surpsise surpise their candidates are funded by huge megacorp lobbyists who want to protect their corporate interests. Biden winning will not fix the problem, and 4 years down the line we will be faced with the exact same scenario.

Aside from valve probably having a hit by bus plan, I’m pretty sure ownership of valve is actually split pretty evenly so it will likely fall to another senior dev who understands what to do.

You mean Ford, GM, and Chrysler who make useless pieces of garbage and also outsource production to Mexico?

Who also got bailed out by the federal government for going bankrupt back in 2009?

Okay not that I’m suggesting the GOP is any good, but Biden set a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs and sent Yellen to complain about the overproduction of Chinese renewables.

They both protect American megacorp interests because they are both lobbied by the same companies.

Aside from the irony, it honestly wouldn’t be a bad idea to setup a demarc zone with US troops, similar to how Russia placed one in Azerbaijan and Armenia.

It would at least for the time being ensure the ceasefire actually holds, instead of expecting Israel not to break their “assurances” for the nth time.
