I didn’t even realize it had a native version. As stuff “just works”, I find myself checking under the hood less and less.

But, good. I’ll have to fire this up again and see if I notice any difference. I thought it ran fine before.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.

Thanks

Yep yep, I didn’t take offense. Tbh idk why I still do it. Just habit I guess.

Edit: I made an edit but I won’t say what it was. :)

Maybe it is. I always considered it a courtesy since otherwise it can be difficult to see what was edited. It’s from my reddit days.

But if the file system needs extra writes anyway for CoW, and the SSD needs its own CoW, then wouldn’t that end up being exponential writes? Or is there some mechanism which mitigates that?

I don’t disagree with that. They’re also a much smaller group so I think it just stands to reason.

But I do appreciate that they’re taking chances (probably for the same reason). Cosmic is quite impressive already and a good alternative to Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon; better than the Pop Shell on Gnome.

Edit: a word

Yes. My gaming rig has been on Pop for years now.

I hate the idea of still being on Pop. But it’s so damned pleasant.

Now on the Cosmic alpha.

The CoW nature of Btrfs means it’s often slower than ext4 for common tasks, right? It also means more writes to your SSDs.

I’ve stuck to ext4 so far, as someone who doesn’t really have a need for snapshotting.

Edit: I’m not an expert on file systems in the least, so do chime in if these assumptions are incorrect.

This is satire but… The Right wanting to privatize fire departments is a real thing.

I don’t think USians should fight this.

As pear shaped as the UK may be at the moment, it must be better off than all the nonsense in the US. Though there really is nothing in it for the Commonwealth, in any event.

I’m implying nothing. Some things are meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

They will and are changing it, to be sure. Whether those changes are positive remains to be seen.

If AI is the chief innovation in the US, then the US is massively fucked.

I’d much rather have a fancy shinkansen.

Ah, got it. Thanks.

I took the sentence “From a Republican…” as OP saying they were a Republican who had changed their view (since it isn’t really a full sentence… alas).

Wishful thinking, I guess.

You said you thought she was the lesser of two evils. I’m not sure how that is believing Trump’s words, as you said in the original post.

What period?

Edit: nm, got it. Period in OP.

Then how was it that you “believed Trump’s words”?

I appreciate you taking the time to write this post, and I appreciate you noticing this trend.

But I’ve got to be honest: the writing was on the wall the whole time. Being in the Republican bubble doesn’t really change the fact that you only get here from a lack of critical thinking and a general susceptibility to propaganda. These are things that many people spend time and resources getting educated about. It’s hard to have sympathy when the whole country is now suffering because so many were so sure they knew better.

If I sound angry, I am. I do hope you take it constructively, but you also need to understand: most of the damage has already been done. It doesn’t really matter how you feel from here on out, because the deed (from voters) is done.
