The whole 1 post, no comments, 2 day old account thing doesn’t lend any credibility either.

Cousin had a 1.5h hellfire and brimstone service with an altar call in an unairconditioned church on a weekday afternoon on the Midwest prairie on a hot August day 120 miles (~192km) away from my house.

Weak perkolator coffee, grocery store sheet cake, and bite-size sandwiches (limit 2) served in the basement afterwards.

We were asked to clean up after ourselves and break down the tables and chairs after 30 min. Church doors were locked and we were ushered out after another 30min.

Last cousin wedding I went to.

And why is it so left leaning?

And you joined lemmy.ml.

Gotta pad that balance sheet with losses. Can’t be paying taxes if you can write off speculative ventures that just might pay off fund other misadventures.

You can search the package database to determine which package(s) provide a file with dpkg --search $file

You might want to check out distrobox. Nice way to access apps for other distros or package managers like they’re native.

I’m also on Garuda for my main box (Bazzite on the framework 13), and I have an Ubuntu distrobox for dev work with one dev project, another for general tools that are only released as .debs, one running fedora for things that “only support RHEL”, etc.

Windows was just the boat you already knew.

Now you have a new (more adaptable) one and don’t know all it’s squeaks and rattles. You’re neither dumb nor is something wrong. You just aren’t familiar with what it needs from you.

Give it some time (a week compared to how long in windows?) and attention and soon you’ll wonder why you ever second guessed it.

Contributing a DVD rip of that got me power user status on a private tracker once upon a time.

Haven’t been there in a long time, but good memories.🍿

Great movie too.

Had a smoke detector going off randomly one night and I pulled it down only to have mama crawl all over my hand as the babies were running around like maniacs, some casting off. Mama still had a bunch on her when I got the smoke detector outside.

I started off with fan grills and led fans and cold cathode lighting way back when.

Now, my gaming PC, which is about due for its 5 yr update again, is in an old antec sonata case from 2008ish. I’ll probably splurge on a new one next round, but if it’s fancy, it will be one of those unassuming fractal cases with wood.

No lights if I can help it.

It’s Nvidia that that jumps out in your question.

They are /were notorious for lackluster support on Linux and sleep/wake issues are /were significant.

IIRC you still need to configure a few bits to get it to work properly (maybe just a systems service enable?).

… And it looks like it’s still a constant issue.

For the uninitiated.

Dammit, that’s gonna be my earworm for days.

Asked the same question I was gonna, so I did the googling.

AGPL

Ah yes, the cherry-pick and ad hominem.

The previous several paragraphs were more concerning.

For example:

MintPress News said it was a for-profit “regular news organization,” with an initial business plan where advertising revenues would exceed costs after three years.[12] MintPress’s anonymous investors were originally intended to fund MintPress operations until 2015.[2] The editor had investors, who Muhawesh claimed were “retired businesspeople”, but she would not name them, a situation MinnPost said was “unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site’s ‘About Us’ page is similarly skinny.”[12]

The irony of your insinuating I don’t check my sources when my comment is about precisely that is both amusing and disheartening. Shouldn’t we all exercise this caution?

This seems like good reporting, and there is literally 0 coverage from this angle elsewhere that I could find.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Palestine and inevitably Israel. I have lobbied my congressional representatives to cease support for Israel. I voted “ceasefire” in the Democratic primary. But because I happen to think the source you chose is questionable and come from a different instance, I must support the apartheid regime.

And indeed I chose .world in the reddit API migration when .ml was actively encouraging sign ups on other instances, please forgive my terrible oversight.

I hope you have a better day.

The last time this was posted it didn’t have the link and was taken down.

This source has a seriously questionable objective to say the least.

I’m cool with critique of this acquisition, but I’d love to see it verified by a more reputable source.

Gmail

The number of people that would break when they couldn’t access their email when they opened their phone… You could measure it with public health statistics.

Dang, this was the first I heard about mobile justice shutting down.

It had been on my phone and thankfully unused for a long time.

Well that’s not good…

They seem to be reasonably active, so I would imagine that situation won’t last long.

Garuda is about the same.

Arch base, preconfigured for btrfs snapshots on Pacman updates (and they provide a handy garuda-update wrapper to that), many niceties already done for you.

I’ve used the snapshot feature a couple times and only because the Nvidia drivers botched something horribly and I went back to the same snapshot a couple times.

And I use distrobox (rootless podman FTW) for some crap too. Like that time I needed WebEx at a moment’s notice for a call (and they only provide a deb and rpm). Or spur of the moment dev environments when I don’t wanna futz around with vscode devcontainers.

But with arch-based stuff, you gotta read the Pacman output. If you don’t wanna, definitely reconsider immutable. Next time I can be bothered to reinstall, that’s where I’m headed. Heck, you can start a distrobox with Arch and install all the AUR shit you please without a major worry.
