  • Not the kind of simple you want, but the kind of simple you deserve

  • honestly, I've had arch on all my machines for 5y now. the install was simple, as long as you followed instructions to the letter.

    the rolling release is beautiful. i never ever have to go through the install again

  • Carbon capture more costly than switching to renewables, researchers find

  • unfortunately the polluters do a lot of greenwashing to get public goodwill. plastic recycling is one of them unfortunately. less than 1% of plastic in use today is recycled...

    in the old days plastic recycling would only accept certain kinds of plastic. now they take everything. they don't recycle everything. they take everything. and throw out the other kinds at the recycling facility

    I wonder if carbon capture is similar greenwashing...

  • Jill Stein’s campaign manager: “Yeah, we are the bad guys, actually”

    Jump

  • honestly, I have this nagging feeling that stein only runs to deliberately split the democratic vote. she knows exactly trumps position on Gaza, facism and capitalism. and she looks the other way either for personal gain, or because she supports trumps positions

  • this is hard man wish I luck.

    how did u handle the visa? I thought on tourist visas you're not allowed to work. and on business/work visas you have to already have a job lined up.

    unless u got a visa by seeking asylum. that's totally 100% valid given why u left ...

    good luck man!

  • downvotes? me thinks some of those geniuses are here.

  • He wasn't ready for that distro

    Jump

  • once there was a bug with dependencies of transcode and some other package (mplayer I think). it would ask to downgrade one and upgrade the other. then several hours of compiling later it would agree to upgrade both. then several more hours of compiling later it would again want to downgrade one again

    I think there was a groove worn in my hard drive from this

  • so even after 24h compiling ur not done! u need to dispatch-config through so many config files...

  • I used Gentoo for 3y. in hindsight I wasted so many CPU cycles just because I thought --march=native would make things faster.

    nope.

    you know what made things faster? switching to arch 😂

  • the geniuses who said "im not voting for Harris because of Palestine" must be feeling really smart right now

  • What are some examples of 'common sense' which are nonsense?

  • it also means don't risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better

  • Which distro would you install on a celeron 2gb ram laptop for a lay person to use?

    Jump

  • honestly the distro doesn't matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.

    I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine...

  • so I found it interesting and checked it out. the protocol is all well and good but the problem is social. I'm simply not going to send people my delta chat Id and ask them to message me there instead if they have delta chat installed. I had the same problem with session messenger.

    when I meet someone irl I'm trading phone numbers. not asking if they have app X installed.

    this might be useful for open source projects where you can use ur delta chat id instead of ur email. but it's not something I would use unless it's a requirement to join some community I wanted to.

    the problem signal solves by tieing accounts to your phone number is contact discovery. thanks to user IDs you no longer have to share your phone number with people u want to chat with, and can only share your user id

    plus signal guarantees the metadata is encrypted. is the same true for delta chat?

  • there's also session

    https://getsession.org/

    unfortunately privacy and usability are inversely related. session is private. I loved it. but I had no one to chat with 😃

    I had no idea if any of my contacts were on session or not.
