sick comeback bro that must go over really well in your middle school

Yeah you’re right, “atomic” is not the same thing as “immutable”, but they are related terms and OP appeared to be using them interchangeably so 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t say bricking, I was responding to the bit you wrote about immutability being “a fad”.

Not excusing ignorance but it is wild how different the experience of the average man or woman can be just existing in public. It makes sense to me that a man who is largely a basement dweller would have no first hand exposure to that sort of behavior.

Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don’t think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.

idk I’ve gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I’m being honest I think they’re going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux’s entire history.

Yeah it’s funny how something on a “vibes” level just made me feel like me something was off and made me look into it closer. I worry that one day I won’t have that weird feeling anymore.

Haven’t used the command line since installing Kinoite, it’s… weird.

Good advice, also Fedora’s “atomic” distros are both bleeding edge and extremely stable!

I agree with you completely. No disrespect to Mint, but immutability is (IMO) possibly the most important advancement for Linux adoption in its entire history. I would love to see more distros release immutable versions.

I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂

Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

@rysiek@mstdn.social’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. “Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can’t recommend it.”

I mean, rollbacks are quite literally a feature to prevent breaking it. That said I’ve never even had to roll back once.

Fedora Kinoite.

• You will basically never need the terminal.
• Highly tweakable, but out of the box is very similar to windows
• It’s immutable (impossible to break)
• App “store” makes sense and is not weird.
• Extremely fast.

The reason behind his weird android haircut is that he thought it looked Caesar-esque.

The American system is far from ideal but I’m convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a “lack of choice” or “monoparty” are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the “The DNC installed Biden” language was all over Reddit.

I’ve never seen someone just blatantly lie about primaries not existing anymore though!

So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.

Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:

That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.

It doesn’t shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but “multiplied tens of times”? A recent comment me chuckle:

“Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore.”

(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).
