What fight? Don’t delude yourselves. Trump is doing whatever he wants and Democrats are just letting it happen. Don’t hold it against the rest of the world for noting this.

Why do you think blue states deserve a pass? All of you are Americans, all of you have a part in what’s happened. Is this not what democracy means?

Glad to see this on HN. This Canadian is doing something similar. In fact, anything I do that involves sending money to the USA, I am re-evaluating.

I really wish this was not the top comment on HN. It’s a cool project! Maybe try it??! Or just be silent!

Can’t say I blame him, given the tone of some of the convos on the discourse site.

Very true.

I like the friction aspect to some extent because I think keeping the base system pure confers many benefits. But you’re right. Bazzite imposes a certain workflow. For installing new software …

1) try ujust first (since there is some porcelain provided for some things that can be challenging to install properly on immutable distros, such as Steam or DaVinci Resolve)

2) if that doesn’t work, try flatpaks from Bazaar/Flathub

3) if that doesn’t work, use Homebrew which installs into your home dir by default

4) use rpm-ostree as a last resort.

Functionally I find this has driven me towards a very devcontainer-centric setup. Of course in theory Nix can do better, but in practice I’ve found the combo Bazzite offers, not to mention the excellent hardware support, hits the sweet spot for me.

I suggest giving Bazzite a try

Ha that is very funny. I also started thinking about Gentoo a lot as well which was a sanity check moment … “even Gentoo was easier than this” etc.

This resonates with me as well. I was really into using Nix for awhile but it turned out to be more trouble than it was worth for a solo dev.

Why is the Nix community such a dumpster fire?

Advice from an inexperienced reader, please disregard (and don’t do this to library books!)

They seem to be unemployed (maybe for a reason)

This seems like the most ineffective way possible to figure out an API

If you’re unlucky in the same way I was, it could actually be a GNOME/GTK issue. Some questionable (?) font rendering decisions were made that for me caused all text in GNOME to be blurry. I hated it so much I switched to KDE but soon realized GTK apps had the same issue.

Eventually I found a fix that worked and now I’m happy. So, next time you can try this. In the file:

~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini

You can add:

[Settings]

gtk-hint-font-metrics=1

Here’s the Arch wiki page that explains it:

If your settings.ini is in a different spot see:

This comment makes it very clear to me that we are not talking about the same things, lol.

What gets on my tits more is people who are pretty bright in one field (hacking) thinking that entitles them to just brute force their way through reasoning about some other field (finance) that in their arrogance they think is simpler.

Why hate on the guy with the kids’ entertainment business for placing ads? I don’t get it.

Go to Reddit with this kind of thing, seriously

These articles always make me laugh. Everyone complains and then everyone lines up and buys Macs again. macOS has been on the decline for literally years now. If you really want things to change put your money where your mouth is and switch!

I'm disappointed to see this immature, mean-spirited screed on HN.

This is not true. Don't ask a historian, ask an economist:

With some exceptions, UBI generally doesn't seem to work.

What I don’t believe is that somebody bought Twitter only, or even primarily, to further their “class interests”. The whole framing here is bent.

The one paper you keep shopping around here does indeed affirm that CBD may have some neuroprotective properties. That doesn’t change the fact that for the vast majority of people susceptible to schizophrenia or psychosis, that cannabis (always a mixture of THC and CBD in its natural state) is dangerous for them and can trigger mental issues. You can feel superior or more intelligent than others as much as you like, but that will not change this fact. You are getting a negative reaction from people who know this because we have been negatively affected by it, either ourselves or people we know. If you yourself “engage with the research” beyond your tunnel vision, you will see that the link between cannabis and mental issues is pretty well established by this point. In fact, refusal to acknowledge downsides of cannabis use is one of the hallmarks of cannabis use disorder. Pluck the beam out of your own eye.

“Dangerous misconception”? Get out of here with that. Cannabis is dangerous for schizoaffective people. Why are people that smoke pot so tiresome about this? Just accept that it’s not good for everyone!

Here’s a representative example of what I mean, an issue from one “modern” Linux desktop:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3787

At least with Windows you don’t have to gaslight yourself into thinking that blurry fonts are better. If you have a setup with multiple high-res monitors (or, God forbid, have to mess with scaling), it takes a lot of work to be happy with the looks and feel of a Linux desktop compared to what you get out of the box with Windows or a Mac.

Windows is the only reasonable option for someone who wants a modern desktop but doesn’t want a Mac. Apple has been integrating ID into their systems for years and nobody bats an eye. Do you want a computer that “feels like” something or do you want to get work done?

He sure did. This was a man so vain he refused to wear glasses even though he needed them.

Apple “pro” stuff has meant “pro-sumer” for awhile now - nice stuff, for some, but nothing to do with “professionals” per se.

That’s a lazy critique. It’s a Commonwealth thing. If you really believe all Commonwealth countries are authoritarian, there’s not much I can say here that would convince you otherwise.

Anyways, I don’t deny there are pluses and minuses. The situation of the person in this article (if the facts are as reported) is unfortunate, and I’d hope that the ministry would intervene if push really came to shove.

The fact that some countries don’t give free speech (no matter how reckless, dangerous or untrue) the religious status that America does doesn’t make them authoritarian.

The American constitution says: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Canadian one says: peace, order, and good government. Different strokes for different folks - you do you.
