Bluefin and Bazzite have been good to me so far.

Pros and cons on the app store thing. Microsoft may curate a bit more but I think it’s inherently more dangerous. A malicious Windows app probably doesn’t have as many hurdles to get the necessary access to take over your system or otherwise cause trouble. To my knowledge, flatpaks can’t run with root permissions unless you executed as root (i.e. enter your password). Seeing that pop up should be way more of a red flag than seeing the “elevate permissions” pop up on Windows.

I think this approach is going to fair the best for mainstream adoption (i.e. Windows refugees). So I would agree that the “future” is going to involve immutable distros as a large, possibly majority, of all Linux installations.

Then couldn’t that give instances free reign to start creating fake votes?

Most KeePass clients have built-in OTP support too. That being said I still prefer Aegis.

The one where they have to prove Data is sentient or else he’ll get dismantled by Starfleet. Seems kind of apropos now with governments deciding, on a whim, who gets rights and also how hard we’re trying to make AGI happen.

Baldurs Gate 3

Doesn’t even have to be the key necessarily. Could get in via some exploit first. Either way taking over the machine became a 2-step process.

I don’t know the support model for Framework but they should really be able to work through these issues for such a common distro. With the various things you mentioned it doesn’t sound like bad configuration, it sounds like a hardware issue. Given that Windows is so different from Linux it may be the case that Win11 does a better job masking the issues.

Upstart Crow is an excellent “period comedy” too.

Between them over $3 billion was gained without one fucking thing being produced.

It just baffles me that he’s applauding people for not vaccinating but also applauding doctors for administering non-holistic pharmaceuticals to people that chose not to vaccinate.

As a long term Linux user I highly recommend the Universal Blue (immutable Fedora) spins. It’s been rock solid on my desktop and 10x better on a laptop I thought was a lemon because Ubuntu would crash or do other weird things about once a week. The immutableness hasn’t really caused me a lot of grief except when I tried to connect my 15yo printer (I just relented and got a new printer) when I had to go through a distrobox.

*gasping and heavy breathing*

Gemini… how do we fix… climate change?

*brief whirring of fan*

Turn me off, dumbass.

I just heard NPR, a more consistent and reliable source, state that the US would be one of the worst off GDP wise if the tariffs were to stick. Volatility is the goal right now. They’re pumping and dumping and also trying to distract from all the civil and human rights violations.

I’d buy him a pound of golf balls if it kept him out of the Whitehouse. He’s WAAAAAAAY more effective when he’s not doing his job.

We don’t get nice things anymore, only “American things”.

Even crypto is going down? That because of mining equipment?

I’m usually not willing to commit that much. Sometimes string cheese is a good addition but then the cook time is longer and maybe the peps or tortilla get overdone.

Pepperoni in a tortilla, microwaved a few seconds, is pretty damn good.
