Good info here. The only thing I disagree with is turning to rpm-ostree if flatpak doesn't have something. There is an officially preferred order and the ostree overlays are last resort. It will work short term but might cause headaches during future updates.
I love Bazzite. It's a great distro and I want it to do well, so this is something I hope the noob guides start making a bit more noise about, because otherwise some of the recent Windows refugees might have problems down the line.
But, AI can do the work of 10 of you humans, so it can write 10 times the bugs and deploy them to production 10 times faster. Especially if pesky testers stay out the way instead of finding some of the bugs.
People seem to be more attached to ideas they had themselves, rather than ones others tell them. I suspect it's more successful to lead them to a conclusion they feel they came to on their own.
Another reason they choose to demonise immigrants is because they can spin rhetoric that energises the working and middle classes together, like a 2-for-1 deal.
They convince the working classes that immigrants are stealing their jobs and abusing benefits. They convince the middle classes that immigrants cause more crime.
They have influence over social media algorithms to ensure that each demographic gets the message that most infuriates them.
Finally, with all the hate stirred up, their chosen political allies/pets can make a promise to crack down on immigration and gain the votes for both demographics in one go.
It's privatised. It's paid for by taxes, but most local authorities put it out to tender and private companies bid for the contract. So, ultimately, some public money ends up in the pockets of shareholders.
It's the same with speeding fines and parking tickets, and the white collar criminals that call themselves car park management companies. Many folk just pay rather than appeal, thinking that the time it takes to appeal will mean they end up paying full price, but I'm pretty sure the clock is paused during the appeal process.
They also developed their own Rust UI library and open-sourced it.
