In simplified terms:

You are allowed to modify stuff but it is not actually changing the install as is.

This is achieved by different techniques like file system overlays, containerisation, btrfs snapshots and so on.

The idea is to replicate the classical behavior you know from embedded devices that have their core functionality in ROM with even firmware updates only overlayed or modern smartphones: You can modify your system but in the end there’s always the possibilty to “reset to factory settings” as in: the last known working configuration.

You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance

No, I don’t mean any absurd definition by a zionist lobbying organisation with the primary goal of shielding Israel’s right-wing zealots from any criticism, but simple common sense.

So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people

You don’t see that “From the river to the sea” used by people that -exactly like Israel’s insane government- vehemently deny a two state solution makes a very clear statement about the continued existence of Israel, or more precisely the non-existence? You don’t see how morons in Germany cheering for the attacks of October 7 2023 and offereing food and candy to passersby in celebration on the streets were very well understood to have used that slogan in exactly one way? That’s interesting… if only in a sense that I now know that reality is lost on you.

This is just a theory but maybe worth a thought:

Could it be possible that acceptance in a certain community up to the point where it’s just a non-issue that is totally separated from what the community does, bring a lot of people to the public view that exist everywhere else, too, just not that openly?

There was in fact some minor friction on IT events some years ago where people objected to stuff partly looking more like a pride event. Yet the majority didn’t care and there was barely any active pushback. And so it normalised very quickly and now it is just how it is. In my personal view at least for the benefit of all involved.

Democrats are a rediculous clownshow on so many levels…

Yet a “Democrats didn’t believe that bombs send to Israel as a deterrence for their very real hostile neighbours are used against civilians instead”-headline would be more truthful.

But hey. This way it’s more “haha, democrats are comically insane”. And as we all know by now the entertainment value is all that matters and that pesky truth should fuck off.

You are obviously not doing enough work with a full screen terminal being open… 😜

Compatibilty of Windows games in Linux have gone a long way, partly but also independently from Steam’s work on it.

In fact Linux nowadays supports more Windows games than Windows, as especially older games still work there but not on modern Windows anymore.

I will not pretend that there aren’t games with issues, but in the vast majority of cases that’s new games and for the simple reason that some publishers actively go out their way to prevent them from working on Linux (highlights being anti-cheat tech that Linux worked hard to make it compatible, yet with certain publishers intentionally not setting a simple flag needed to run, often with totally made-up “reasons” about Linux’ insecurity…).

I guess I’ll look for some guys on the street to invite them to trash my place and then sue my landlord for providing an defective door… 🤣

Actually lots of areas in Europe tested fluoride in water locally at some point. But they never found convincing evidence of this being preferably to getting fluoride the “classic way” (personalized in small doses already included in toothpaste).

Are USians not brushing their teeth? Or have they changed the toothpaste formulas to exclude fluoride, too, now?

Wouldn’t it be great if just one company per 10 articles about European companies “looking for alternatives” was actually ditching US services for European alternatives?

No, but it will severely disrupt golabl trade and make everything more expensive so you don’t think about eggs anymore.

Because it’s a two-part ting. Being popular enough and finding a maintainer (from them limited pool of official maintainers there are) who does it.

The AUR is unofficial and no one cares much if updates are delayed there but the offcial repositiories have higher standards and -and that’s related to the list of browsers also not in the official repos- maintaining google-based browsers is a pain in the ass (in fact I’m used to seeing warnings because librewolf is once again flagged aus out-of-date but the AUR maintainer didn’t have the time to fix the latest build yet).

Sorry to tell you, but no one is ever on the wrong side of history.

It just gets written like that by the side that won later…

If someone can’t believe that the freshly appointed DOGE head is already on vacation, then they probably also can’t understand that DOGE doesn’t actually do real work or that they are just a front for an operation to disassemble US democratic institutions…

… sounds like a fun ride to work in the media but with no clue what’s going on.

How to recognize the flag of Greenland:

If Poland and Monaco had a baby…

The one has more military might then the 31, and it’s not close.

And the source is the same media that also tells you fairy tales about how the US can’t afford health care because they need to spend money on their MIC Europe…

That’s not even the whole story… He also told European governments to embrace far-right MAGA style populists.

If they could jsut fuck off silently and keep their insanity contained in the US this would already be an improvment.

The left one is more coke specific matching the plastic bottles. It’s also much more lightweight.

But the center one is basically used in very little variation but color and print for most glas bottles.
