Fair enough. They're so big I need an app just to keep track of if something's made by them or not.
I got hired!
Granted, my bike was stolen pretty much immediately, but still! I'm exited to potentially not be broke anymore, once that first paycheck comes in.

I visit both hourly, and spend the vast majority of my time reading books on those two sites.
Hmm, needs mustard. Aside from the pizza pepperoni, I'd say it might even taste good.
I'm using Bluefin right now, but I was using bazzite before that. I'd say the biggest benefit is that it's hard to break permanently. Sure, you can still mess up your home directory pretty bad, but system level stuff is nice and stable. The biggest problem is compatability and software instalation. Flatpak and toolbox/distrobox are nowhere near as good as the documentation makes them out to be. I'd suggest making sure you select a distribution with Nix pre-installed so it's still possible to install stuff.
(Edit: There is apparently a workaround for the following issue, though I have not tried if yet.) Just be aware that some things are just plain impossible with atomic distos, and you can't change it. Like the login screen. You can't change that at all, whether it's the background or the default zoom level. It's part of the system packages and can't be fixed.
It's great for user apps, gui apps, and sandboxing. It's terrible for cli apps, libraries, development, and integration.
There are plenty of stories like that, though? Thousands, probably. It's a really popular genre. Granted, it's usually people being reincarnated into fantasy worlds and such, so that might not be your cup of tea. Still, there's always exceptions in any genre.
Some of my favorite fanfic ones are:
And some original works, too:
These are just the ones that I found scrolling through my favorites list. There's a lot more of these out there if you go looking.
I'm aware I can just remove a couple mods, and I plan to do so anyway for my poor laptop's sake, but this is ridiculous. Does Dub's Mint Menu effect the build menu at all? And if it does, does it make it more compact?
Stores buy specifically tailored perfume to encourage people to buy in demand products, it's not even a secret or anything it's s common practice. Some smaller stores do the same but with music playlists.
Another common one I've seen is adverts, which are exactly that and so common that lots of people don't even notice them anymore.
Then of course there's the simpler things, like the design of a website. Well designed websites make the difference between a customer and a passer-by.
Discord. It takes like 12 seconds to start each time I launch it. Of course it's plenty fast after that, so I guess it's just the startup time that's slow.
Programming. People treat it like a career, but fact is that unless your really good at it, your not going to make any money from it. I've found programming to be far more like art than work anyway.
Sentience in humans begins at 4 years old (mental age). I don't consider humans younger than that to be people. I also firmly believe that you have to have some form of consciousness, self identity, and clear cognition to count as a person.
A human corpse is not a person, a brain-dead patient is not a person, and a human with severe mental disorder should not be held to the same standards as other people.
Similarly, anything that does have sentience is clearly also a person, and should be treated as such. Animals such as crows, parrots, octopi, dolphins, whales, and some monkeys and apes are demonstrably as or more intelligent than some human children. They should not be treated the way they are.
As a side note, I agree with that other guy. Polycules should be allowed to marry.
Also, names in this day and age are useless, at least official ones. We have computers, we already use government issued ID for everything, having a name just makes things confusing. Just use nicknames, either created by the person or by agreement from peers and allowed by the person. The concept of a parent forcing a name on their child is archaic and cruel.
And finally, real life security is horrifying. I expected things to be like in the movies, where you need a special skill or training to do those spy shit. But no. In comparison to real life, Google actually has good security and privacy. WTF people? Everytime I receive mail with my name and a description of what's inside just written on the box I cringe and go back to lurking online again.
Personally? Onboarding.
I've looked at the instructions on how to install peertube several times now, but its just not worth the hassle at this point. Until I can run it in just a single docker image, without an external database or email service required, then I'm not going to bother.
Its really frustrating, because I really like the project, but I just don't have the ability to use services like it without docker or podman.
