    Off topic, but System76 is super lucky to have Jeremy Soller. Not because he fixed this particular bug, but because he’s an amazing engineer in general, and also brings visibility to the project because his name is attached to RedoxOS, currently the most fleshed-out OS kernel written in Rust.

    I hope they treat him well enough to keep him around for a long time.

    It isn’t super stable, but it has super cow powers!

    I like Zypper. When there’s a conflict, Zypper tells me I can keep obsolete packages, or break the system, or uninstall something. I’ve yet to nuke my system with Zypper, despite there often being conflicts.

    Of course since I use OpenSuSE (Tumbleweed), it also has btrfs with snapshots enabled by default. So while I haven’t nuked the system because of anything like that, there’s been one or two times when a nvidia driver update among the other packages nuked my GUI. So I just went and loaded a previous snapshot, and tried updating again later.

    I’ve used other cool package managers (heheheh Portage), but I think Zypper is the most user-friendly



  • …But nobody wants to live there.

    You could give a bunch of homeless people housing, but there’s simply no structure around it. They have no money, and there’s no jobs. There’s no services around. They won’t be much better off than homeless in a big city tbh. Might be WORSE off.

    There needs to be available housing near the places where there’s actually things to do, jobs to hold, services to use.

    Worst part is, I bet a LOT of those ghots towns are suburban, not urban - so it makes it more difficult and expensive to build up a new community there. Everything is spaced out










  • The weird command was sudo apt install steam pretty much IIRC

    He should’ve read the message, but it also shouldn’t have uninstalled his desktop environment, that should be a very damn safe command to run if we want Linux to be mainstream on the desktop. Sucks that a package dependency error like this managed to make it through QA.



  • WoW just fucked everything for me. It was never worth the time to learn about an area, because you’re already past most of its content and getting to the next one by the time you sneezed from the book dust.

    WoW has been getting worse and worse at this in the later levels after the scaling rework, BUT if you start a new character, then anything that’s not the most current expansion, you can start doing the content from a lower level and actually take your time through… Well probably one expansion’s story lol

    So if you go to Northrend or Pandaria or whereever at level 10, you have plenty of time because you can keep doing these zones till you’re level 60 or 70 or something and only then do you actually HAVE to move to the newest region to keep leveling up.

    Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor of course are so big that you’re going to have to do multiple characters to get all the storylines done without doing some at max lvl.


  • I don’t disagree that it died when he left, nor that he was the star of the show.

    It’s not humor that offends someone that I can’t tolerate, it’s the cringe. Maybe it’s because I was awkward growing up and I still sometimes blurt out things I shouldn’t (I blame ADHD for this one, I often don’t realize what I’ve said before I said it). Michael has the parts of my personality that I’m the most insecure about, amplified 100x.

    You can directly make fun of me as a person and I’m not offended. Call me a planet, tell me I’m an idiot in some creative way, for any number of the stupid things I’ve done in my life, whatever… But Michael’s cringe just… hurts my soul.
