I think as far as holidays go, it’s pretty decent:

• I get some work free time.
• It’s a distraction from the fact that there’s no fucking daylight which makes me miserable.
• I get some gifts and give some gifts. It’s not about their material worth but it’s cool that people actively try make someone else happy. We don’t do that everyday.
• There is a lot of colorful lights. I love colorful lights.
• I get a lot of time to hyperfixate on some kind of programming / linuxing computer stuff. Maybe gaming.

I feel like a lot negatives of Christmas don’t affect me because: I don’t watch TV or ads, don’t go much to shops or any public places for that matter, I don’t really use social media outside of Lemmy. Also, I don’t have a big extended family.

I don’t get how is it that brushing is normal for everyone but somehow flossing seems to be an impossible task. It literally takes even less time. It’s so quick and simple that it just seems dumb not do it. Well, to me at least. Clearly that’s not a very popular opinion.

I’m on vacation in Thailand for the first time right now and it’s sooo true here.

Isn’t this true for many years now?

You’re spot on. I still remember it from the time I was forced to eat it as a kid. Terrible.

Declarative configuration fixes this problem. You don’t really have to write down how to setup something because the configuration is the description.

I use NixOS so in my case all the stuff you described would be defined in a Nix code in a separate Calibre module. I can enable and disable such module at will with a single option in my main config file.

I really recommend looking into immutable, declarative systems. I think NixOS is the most complete solution but there are some other too. I have no experience with them though.

Thank you for the link, this rant is amazing 😂

I just fought them off in my apartment. Everything they said is correct. I just want to add that I bought some kind of spray to kill them and it was very effective. Got rid of them in two applications.

Are you high? 😂

Right, I forgot that autistic people are not allowed to post about things that annoy them in a community about annoying things. Noted.

It’s just reskinned Firefox though.

Right! IDE is probably the missing piece. I use Neovim exclusively so I didn’t even think about this.

Yeah, but those shouldn’t really influence memory usage too much unless actively used, right? I’m pretty sure browsers unload unused tabs from memory.

I myself sometimes use quite a lot of tabs, although I have to admit it’s definitely not close to 80 tabs open at all times.

I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I’m well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

Of course, I’m aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can’t believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

Commenting mostly to make this post more active because I have very high hopes for COSMIC and really want it to succeed!

I have very bad memories with this dish. I hated it as a kid and was sometimes forced to eat it. 🤮

Do you mean that it’s worse on GrapheneOS in comparison to stock?

While it’s not nearly as customizable as an Ubuntu kernel, it’s still easy to make your GrapheneOS look and feel exactly how you want it to, within reason.

WTF is it supposed to mean?

Which will be years from now, if ever. I mean, I hope for them as much as you do, but it doesn’t mean there is no problem right now.

I see, that’s a valid concern. I wonder whether we could try to prevent such abuse by automatically excluding more prone groups like prisoners. It really seems crazy to me how many organs, which could literally save someone’s life, are going to waste.
