If full vinyl wraps were cheaper, you’d see iridescent pink and purple and orange cars everywhere!

That’s literally what makes it a Linux distro… It uses the Linux kernel.

Home Assistant IS the state of the art. Local and privacy first, very powerful and has a huge community that provides a huge catalog of integrations that fill the gap that official integrations don’t cover. Incredibly customizable and capable.

You can buy their official hardware, install it on a raspberry pi to make a dedicated hardware yourself, or install it on any computer.

Their hardware has matured and is now in the polished luxury category, so I would only consider it if you start using it and know you’re going to use it enough to justify it, just install it on a computer or Nas/(docker) if you have one and try it out.

There is a learning curve, plenty of good YouTube tutorials and a very helpful community online though. Have fun!

I’m finna get my homeboys to whoop your ass, you dig homeslice?

And Google sucks more and more every day…

There’s a good way to point people to existing documentation without being a jackass.

If someone doesn’t find the wiki article that answers their question because they didn’t know how to ask it with the right keywords, just point them to the wiki article and add any missing context to help the next person out.

A rude “rtfm” response with closing the ticket isn’t helpful.

I don’t watch any “Linux vet YouTubers” so I have no clue what they may be experiencing and running into, but I’ve been running it daily since alpha, and it’s been rock solid. I’ve had a couple times where the Nvidia driver crashed that could have been caused by cosmic, but I didn’t verify. Though both times I was messing with OBS and a virtual second display.

I don’t like the file manager, the dock/panel are not as customizable as I wish, it’ll glitch after running updates sometimes but a restart of cosmic fixes that. I was never a fan of tiling windows but with cosmic I use it daily on some workspaces.

There aren’t a lot of applets yet, but I like these: package updater, privacy indicator, nitrate, minimon.

I wish I could have expanded ungrouped tabs in the app tray instead of a grouped icon, definitely my biggest annoyance. Otherwise I absolutely love cosmic. I’ve stopped using gnome after gnome shell, and it’s never won me back, kde always felt like a side project just to get it to look how I wanted. Cinnamon is my second choice if Cosmic isn’t available, but I really like Cosmic.

Linus (of tech tips) is a hopeless certified moron, there’s no Linux distro that’ll work for him.

PopOS is a great distro! It’s pretty stable, comes with easy full disk encryption and backup partition out of the box, and just works. I agree with the criticism of calling cosmic v1 already, but I disagree that it’s that bad. I daily drive it and rarely have issues, it’s missing some features I expect in a mature DE though.

It’s fast, it’s stable, it’s beginner friendly, and it’s a perfectly fine distro.

I’m way further left now, but I still recommend Manufacturing Consent as an essential reading, as it opened my eyes to how the rich controlled media shapes narratives and enables genocides and destructive imperial wars and regime changes. It’s just hard to recommend it now with his name attached.

Noam Chomsky, that’s what broke my faith in humanity. His work in linguistics is why I’m a computer scientist, his work in political activism was my introduction to leftist theory, so much of what I do and think every day is directly influenced by his work.

Turns out at the end of the day he’s a neo-liberal apartheid supporting hypocrite and possibly a pedophile.

5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum

I question this, it’s way too much labor with not enough compensation.

They are up my alley, I use them personally.

I receive the Adobe files and I modify them slightly and send them back.

No, it means I can install Photoshop and InDesign for the couple times a year I need to edit a file in my line of work, and I no longer need to boot into Windows twice a year just to use them.

This is amazing news!

The blog post is confusing, but the image is very clear.

5.2.0 was released. Then 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.2.4, 5.2.5, and 5.2.6 were released as stable updates. Pretty straightforward.

After 5.2.0 came out, normal development continued toward the upcoming 5.3.0 in Linus’s mainline tree. As bugfixes for real problems (crashes, data corruption, build breaks, security issues, etc.) were written and merged into mainline, a subset of those fixes was then backported to the 5.2.y stable branch and released as 5.2.1, 5.2.2, and so on.

In other words, there is a separate 5.2.y branch, but most of its changes are not developed there first. They are developed in mainline (the code that will eventually become 5.3.0 and beyond) and then cherry-picked back into 5.2.y as “stable” bugfixes. There is no “merge 5.2.x back into 5.3.0”; instead, stable only takes fixes that are already in mainline.

This means that any fix you see in a 5.2.y release should already be present in the mainline code that leads to 5.3.0 (or replaced by an equivalent fix there). So when you move from 5.2.6 to 5.3.0, you should not lose any of the bugfixes you were getting from the 5.2.y stable series.

Hillary was probably the worse:

I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product… So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again’, was looking backwards,

Obama:

Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

John Kerry:

You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq

These are slip ups, if you search for coded ways they describe their opponents, you can find a lot more “low information” and “uneducated” examples.

Remember Joe the plumber? He was a reaction to republican voters feeling unrepresented as blue collar workers.

This kind of class contempt absolutely isn’t unique to Democrats, but their obsession with courting higher educated voters has branded their contempt for those who aren’t.

I have not once had a good experience with gnome since the gnome shell was introduced. And I exclusively used gnome before for years.

I’m enjoying Cosmic desktop.
