I had to ditch my girlfriend because she became an arch elitist. Debian ftw.

Yeah, there’s stuff to like, but… but…

I just disable most of the Pop stuff and use vanilla gnome.

Yes, it’s easy. BUT:

• buy Linux-compatible hardware. While you might technically be able to get something to run by fucking around, it’s just better to buy Linux-compatible hardware. If something doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Put it on a shelf and try again in six months.
• If you’re dual-booting windows, know that windows occasionally nukes the boot loader, so that only windows loads. This happens irregularly, like every 2-5 years. A Linux friend can help fix it, or you can follow instructions online (you need an empty thumb drive to do it).

This game is absolutely fucking solid.

• Excellent, balanced gameplay
• AI that doesn’t cheat (unless you count being incredibly fast at micromanaging)
• choose your own music for menus, gameplay, action gameplay
• scenarios for single player gameplay
• lots of maps, for 2-16 players
• active lobby
• they host game servers for for for $0 (but seriously, please donate)
• in-development features that can be enabled with a click and tested
• ridiculous features, so you can do different game modes
• still under active development and expansion
• awesome community
• physics-based gameplay - that means, shots are actively rendered. Beam weapons do damage while on. If something drives into it, it takes damage. If you hit your own guys, they die. If you put shields around one section of your base and not another, the plasma cannon rounds might just bounce off and hit your stuff anyways, if it comes from the right angle to do so.
• radar has line-of-sight - i.e., hide behind a cliff face and advance, and place your own radars well.
• rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock. That is - air, sea, and ground units, each with unique advantages - but also, amphibious units, hovercraft, long range vs short range, fast vs slow - deep strategic complexity.

Negatives:

• some assholes exist, because humans
• unintuitive menu system
• unintuitive separation of main menu options and in-game options.

Micropython.

Lineés. Linacea. Linii.

This is hilarious.

Honestly? Yeah. I agree. At the very least, a solid niche has been carved out, and it’s growing. I like that.

I’d really like to see more governmental support, but… …so it goes.

It’s a filesystem that supports all of these features (and in combination):

• snapshotting
• error correction
• per-file or per-directory “transparently compress this”
• per-file of per-directory “transparently back this up”

If that is meaningless to you, that’s fine, but it sure as hell looks good to me. You can just stick with ext3 - it’s rock solid.

Your lack of awareness is fine with me.

Did this with gentoo a while back.

Or, compile gentoo from scratch as a hobby?

It’s not as bad as it seems. He just doesn’t know how valuable working with the provided structure is yet. A lot of innovative thinkers are used to questioning, bending, and tinkering with the rules. He’s just still learning how necessary the existing structure is.

Do your own research, that’s a pretty well-discussed topic, particularly as concerns ZFS.

Congrats.

This. Well said.

Kent is reasonable, and sees Linus’s need to keep order. I think he just pushes it sometimes, and doesn’t understand how problematic that can be.

That said - he has resubmitted an amended version of the patch, that doesn’t touch code outside of bcachefs, and is less than 1/3 the size.

He accepted Linus’s needs as the project head to keep order. He resubmitted the patch set without the contentious parts. It’s less than 1/3 the size and doesn’t touch code outside of bcachefs. Problem solved.

Honestly, Kent seems pretty reasonable (though impassioned), and bcachefs well probably make it, and Kent will get used to just submitting things at the right time in the cycle.

Fair enough.

Honestly, it’s pretty normal for Linux. It’ll fracture until it becomes glaringly obvious that there’s a problem, and then it’ll get standardized, and the standard may be supported in the next version.

Ubuntu could have gone flatpak. They didn’t. Kde and gnome could have come to a common agreement about desktop-related stuff they have in common. They didn’t. So it goes. The real pain points eventually get fixed.

Meh, it was ok on the ad front.
