I'm a fan of Framework laptops. They have given people the option to upgrade several motherboards by Intel and released an AMD version to boot. I don't think there's ever been a manufacturer that offered three generations of motherboards on the same chassis. The swappable ports are kind of neat, you can choose which ones you want to use

The 13" is already on sale with a 16" coming later this year

It's basically the Russian offensive backwards, taking back Andriyivka, Klischiyivka, going towards Bakhmut. But it's playing back about three times faster

I do overlays of software to patch it all the time. Eventually I'll package it, but it needs upstream fixes, so I'll try to package my own fork

I've started using Mastodon after the Twitter changes, Lemmy after the Reddit changes, I don't think any website is irreplaceable

Because they don't exist, the 155mm artillery is being made, the stockpiles are too low

I upgraded Ubuntu 20 LTS to Ubuntu 22 LTS in place and it broke everything including the Wifi drivers. Left with a black command line with no Internet, so I just wiped the drive

I've heard the war would end by May. May of 2022, that is, where Russian sources said they almost surrounded Azov

Don't believe everything you read. This war is going into 2024, unless the US brings more weapons for Ukraine to finish it earlier

Jan 7th is because the Church uses an outdated Julian calendar. On that calendar, there are a different number of leap days than the modern one, so the Julian Dec 25th is the Gregorian Jan 7th

It's not as hard as you think, since you can just copy some other package for a skeleton and substitute your own files. There are just a few files to do a basic package

This is why I use NixOS in a git repo. I will never be able to successfully recall all the steps I did otherwise

Because Ukraine is advancing too slowly. It prolongs the fights in certain areas, allows Russians to shell cities.

If Ukraine were to reach Crimea in the South, the frontline would shrink appreciably.

Ukraine will record where they used them to help the demining effort later

While nothing here is technically untrue, but it's on purpose misleading

It was the most dangerous instance, but far from the only one. Kyiv also swiftly blamed Russia for the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines last September, a charge repeated by European officials, print media, and countless talking heads on U.S. television, before Western officials all but absolved Moscow and evidence emerged that Europe and the United States had had advance knowledge of a Ukrainian military plot for the attack.

There's no proof that the plot was actually carried out, just the knowledge of it existed several months prior to the sabotage.

There's also no mention of the Kakhovka dam explosion that Ukraine claimed to be Russian doing, while Russia falsely blamed on Ukraine. Later photos confirmed explosives being brought from the Russian side

The average reader, as a result, is left with little reason to doubt [the] claims.

Indeed, this article makes it seem like Ukraine always lies and should not be trusted. The truth, of course, is much more complex

My man, my laptop sometimes turns off the screen when I tap the touchpad in Windows. It's far more broken than Linux is. Let's not go into how slow it is on an HDD in Windows 10... I have given up on booting into Windows since it's unusable

No, fuck red hat, use something else.

Sometimes when I use warp it just lets me through, but that's a lottery.

Personally, I'm looking for reproducible environments where if you create a lock file of your packages, you will get the exact same system on another machine if you copy it over

It would have be basically torrent hosted

My question is, what does your DE have to do with your distro? Pick a distro that works on any DE

I'm already using NixOS, which is even more powerful since it can configure my software as well as my system

That's why I'm on it :^)

It is in the track pad settings, but everything about using a Mac is grating

For one, I couldn't figure out how to shut it down. I just gave up, opened up the console and typed sudo shutdown -h now because the stupid assistant said "I can't do that, Dave" and refused to shut the computer down

Using snap is your own fault. I only use it for command line applications. You use some ancient Ubuntu 20 LTS...

NixOS doesn't lose in features to Mac, and the store is actually larger, there are only like 10K apps for Mac

Yes, but you sometimes get an IP that forces you to do the captcha, so it's like 50/50 - not a full solution. You can try it

That's the problem with the Ubuntu model. I'm using stable Wine with other unstable packages in NixOS because I can. I don't have to choose a version, since dependencies are not installed globally

This is not true, I desnapped my Ubuntu and pinned Firefox to use the repo. You can do that for any software to force Ubuntu not to install snap.

Needlessly reductionist, but also wrong. If your code is proven to work (like, machine verified), and you use a compiler that is also verified to generate correct code, then that code is secure.

That's why the long term solution is not using Ubuntu

NixOS is very different, it will make you stop wanting to hop

I used a Mac once. I tapped with two fingers and didn't get a menu. That was it, can't handle only single click UI on the touchpad

NixOS, makes it easy to have the same setup because it's all in one config file. I didn't check it out until last year when they released a graphical installer, now installing/using NixOS is a breeze.

Even if I didn't install NixOS, I'd use the Nix package manager (which is separate, but part of a NixOS system) since it has more packages than the AUR. It's easy to contribute to, so I've been maintaining a package.

I like brave search because it uses its own index
