  • Why encourage rehabilitation when you can instead encourage recidivism? Jail a man for a year, get a one-time profit. But jail a man for life...

  • Can you recommend me other (non atomic) distros that play nice with both secure boot and nvidia drivers?

    I wouldn't exactly recommend it because of the learning curve, but I have the exact setup you're looking for working on NixOS.

    Lanzaboote made it pretty easy. The downside is that you need to put secure boot into user-managed mode, and some asshole anticheats might not like that even though only Microsoft-signed executables were used in the boot chain of Windows.

  • For gamers who are newcomes to Linux, Ubuntu (or Debian) should be a hard pass. Linux gaming is advancing too fast for the 2-3 year gap between LTS versions to not matter, and trying to work around the stable (outdated) packages is typically what ends up breaking installs.

  • For gaming, you can't go wrong with Bazzite. It's meant for gaming to mostly just work out of the box, so you likely won't need to tinker with anything.

    It's that tinkering that introduces stability risks. Adding third-party package repositories and trying to install newer software on top of older LTS distros is what tends to end up breaking them.

  • Astonishingly, most of Twitter users commenting on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation's instigating post are calling them full of shit in claiming the ad "misrepresents" the original clip.

    The unedited version even more supports his distaste for tariffs. He was a big fan of immigration too. Now the stewards of his legacy are bootlickers, something Reagan never was.

    Did you listen to the link you posted? Reagan actually went even further criticizing tariffs than in the clip from the commercial.

  • Surprisingly, Twitter users are even defending Canada against the overt bullshit that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation put out. I expected much less fact-checking and more tribalism from Elon's social media website but came away pleasantly surprised.

  • I don't think they actually think they're smart. I think they're just selfish assholes.

    Time and time again, I come across the argument that "it will make the price of everything to up because now businesses have to pay workers more."

    Ok—so? Businesses are forced to pay workers to a standard that allows everybody to live without drowning in debt and inescapable poverty. Isn't it a good thing that people won't be suffering?

    No, not to them. Their wages won't increase equivalently, and now they have to pay more to maintain their standard of luxury. It's wealth redistribution away from those who can afford excess towards the people who can't afford basics. They actively choose not to support that because it's a personal inconvenience to them.

    It's an amazing demonstration of "equality looks like oppression to the privileged" and "fuck you, I got mine" attitude.

  • You can block it with a carefully-crafted userscript that hooks the fetch API and returns fake responses for the svc event, but then Reddit starts flagging your IP address as a bot and demands you log in to an account to prove otherwise. You can't win.

  • remember when Trump pretended to care about this kinda thing?

    Not really. He appointed a puppy-killer as the head of DHS and a brain-worm addled deer hunter as the head of the FDA. It's been pretty clear that he supports armed thugs killing animals for leisure and gratification.

    Now, unarmed immigrants not killing or eating pets, on the other hand...

  • Curious what kind of real world use makes it a good choice?

    It's declarative. Everything is (usually) configured via Nix itself, without requiring manual steps of running additional commands. This ends up being pretty useful when you have a fleet of devices that you want to configure.

    Changing config is atomic. If you end up breaking your system when trying to tweak it, you can boot into the previous generation and try again with different settings.
