Yep, they’ve been called ‘gold diggers’, for quite a while now.

There is still a huge portion of American women across the political spectrum, across wealth classes, across religious or irreligious beliefs, who ultimately have a huge part of what they want in a partner be ‘how much stuff can he buy me’, who will bully or shame or guilt trip or emasculate or outright violently abuse their male partner, regardless of how hypocritical this is with their other espoused beliefs, to get them to pay for things for them or cover their debts.

Just get on tiktok or instagram, you basically can’t miss it.

Its more than just the opposite number of conservative tradwives. There are plenty of self described liberal or leftist, feminists or social activists of one kind or another that ultimately still want their male partners to provide far more for them than they provide for their partner.

Best post in this whole thread, imo.

I believe the original idea was mainly focused around making software developer’s lives easier, by (as you say) making versions of linux os’s with known, static, unchanging, immutable, standard system configurations, which could not be altered by the user.

Again, I think the main idea here was basically focused around making either new distros, or sort of locked down versions of distros such that they could be deployed in I guess an enterprise or some kind of group environment, so as to greatly streamline the process of software development.

You say ‘can receive updates’, and I am not sure if you mean higher level app updates, or lower level system updates.

When people attempted to evangelize this immutable concept to me a few years back, they would say the whole point is that lower level updates on which many other things depend do not happen, that you would have to do basically a completely new install of a new immutable version when one comes out.

Kind of like ‘more stable than stable.’

But… judging by other comments here, it would appear that this concept of immutable has uh… changed, lol.

Also, for what its worth, the Steam Deck OS is basically just a standardized version of Arch, upon which sits the whole nifty Steam Deck UI and Controller mappings, with the system set to read only by default.

You can change this and then do whatever the hell you want, if you so please.

I think its just one line in the terminal after you have set up your user as a system admin.

Presumably, the individual themself is transitioning sexes while they are also transitioning tables of one format to another, maybe from T SQL to PostGres, who knows, could be tables in any kind of language.
