He would have to eat part of a battery. It was, he figured, maybe the only way to solve his problem.

I thought this was metaphorical 🤦 My idiocratie radars are all saturating since the middle of the article.

Sadly I kept it private because it exposes a bit of my company’s network structure (with encrypted secrets, but still…) :/

It’s not the best experience though : the pencil doesn’t work as well as in Fedora (GNOME doesn’t detect tablet mode, which only seems to affect buttons behavior) and it recompiles the kernel everytime it needs to be updated (very often, so I pinned a version).

I’d say arch is a great distro if you love to tinker a lot and/or want to learn a lot about the Linux ecosystem. If you don’t recognize yourself in previous sentence I’d probably stick with fedora 🤷

I briefly used Fedora (Gnome) on my SP7 which worked super well. Then I moved to NixOS because I’m a nerd 🤓

Man, we’re not even 3 months in (6%) and everyone starts preparing for world war 3. Americans needs to step up now.

Well, the comment that showed bust above yours shows an article from NYT doing exactly that 😮‍💨

I moved to NixOS this year and it really felt like something new. You need to learn a little functional language for configuration (nix) and can manage your whole computer on a descriptive and reproducible way.

There is also an awesome side effect : packages (and OS configurations) are built the same way as you build your configuration. For me, it meant that it was the first time it was obvious how my distribution works and how I could contribute. It took me about one hour to submit my first ever PR to update a package : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/290710

Also note that you can experience nix (the package manager) on any distro, if you want a safe try you could for example have fun with home-manager to handle your dotfiles.

A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.

Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.

Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It’s very easy to pile a ton of them and it’s much harder to attack you about any of them because they’re much less consequent.

So in that view, a bullshitter doesn’t give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more “noble”. 0

You don’t need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.

According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi’s symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).

But yeah, I’m not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn’t have believed you…

I have a channel on my team’s Slack were I just vent off on these kind of situations 😬

#windows-is-the-best, inspired from #gitlab-is-the-best, the chan were everyone vents off when the CI refuses to pick up workers 😅

I’ve been willingly enabling data collection features for Mozilla but I guess that time is revolute, they don’t feel trustworthy anymore.

Well I suppose LibreWolf (or some other de-branded Firefox) will become more mainstream. Similar to what chromium is to chrome 🤷

I’m not that surprised, a lot of people around me dot have a clear picture of what is the relationship between MacOS, Linux and Unix is. So I suppose some of them would guess that Linux is a modern fork of Unix and MacOS based on Unix.

It would probably take decades to unplug older systems but with a gradual approach we could probably get rid of most of it quite fast.

I wonder how much public money is wasted in Microsoft crapware, but if any of it would be redirected to open source fundings (which is actual common good) it may be a huge deal.

That’s weird they decided to publish this with creepy horror-style sounds.

The gen keyword is too much teasing, I know it’s not round the corner but I’m gonna explode 🥺

Road to 2027 then?

But one question I’ve been asking myself is : then, wouldn’t I be fingerprinted as one of the few nerds who activated the resist fingerprinting option?
