How I Learned to Skate

At one point they make you control two characters at once. There is no way I’m doing that, not in a million years.

flatpaks are objectively better though.

I don’t, I use DNS over HTTPS. That’s far more fitting for my threat model right now.

Control D or Adguard DNS.

“Let me join you next time you need to poop then”

There are some that were fixed, but fixed with great effort. The hole in the ozone layer for example.

My final answer will be overpopulation. Personally though I think the population should be about 1 billion just so I don’t feel quite as much existential dread at my own insignificance.

IIRC the CachyOS optimizations were basically a rounding error. I’m thinking of just switching my gaming PC to Fedora (and switching my Fedora Laptop to OpenSUSE maybe).

I don’t get it. Why is everyone donating to Omarchy. What are they hoping to get from that?

Mullvad VPN let’s you buy 10 years in advance IIRC. So if the government bans VPN’s (but Sweden doesn’t) you might still be able to use them for a decade.

It’s frustrating that in 2026, Debian doesn’t have a firewall installed by default.

Tried it. Firstly it wouldn’t install. Secondly, the developer lead developer is a very private person and I don’t trust a Linux distro made by someone who is so secretive.

Linux in general is not secure for desktop users. There’s basically never sandboxing, and when there is it’s usually weak, antivirus is rarely used, and developers aren’t vetted as stringently as with paid software. Apparently Fedora and OpenSUSE take these issues more seriously, and SE Linux does somewhat restrict what malicious things a piece of software can do.

It’s a pretty widely held view that Fedora and OpenSUSE are more secure than Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch for desktop users but I’m not really an expert so I’m mostly retroactively justifying what I’ve heard second-hand.

I’ve recently had some issues with Fedora (KDE). After I install any update it tells me to restart to finish installing. So I restart and it still tells me the same thing. Probably time I distrohop again.

With the usual restriction of “either upstream or Mint, otherwise you’re doing it wrong”. There are 6 options. Ubuntu is obviously out. Arch is not my cup of tea. Fedora is already ruled out. Debian/Mint aren’t as secure as Fedora/OpenSUSE. That leaves me with going back to OpenSUSE Leap.

But the proprietary media codecs on OpenSUSE come from the AUR … looks like I’m out of options.

The world is all doing this in a coordinated fashion because social media is causing many, well-evidenced problems.

Look, the bar has been set so low that even Idiocracy has a better president.

This is directed at me specifically by the looks of it. And I stand by everything I said.

Fedora does good work on security and it doesn’t have snaps. But personally I prefer the stability of Debian (not that I daily drive it).

Putting aside the question, the answer is that they should use upstream or Mint, there are basically no exceptions.

Nothing is ever completely unforgivable (emphasis on the “completely”), literal Hitler aside.

If someone murders their spouse in a fit of rage and not only shows intense remorse for their crimes but also dedicates their life to helping others at tremendous cost to themselves, I’d be able to forgive them.

I should’ve put more emphasis on the word “unforgivable”. I assumed people would read my random Lemmy post more closely.

There are a variety of reasons people commit murder, but there’s only one reason they rape someone and that is for their own pleasure at the expense of others. For that reason, the crime of rape is far harder to forgive.
