using Linux desktop isn’t easier than using windows

also there’s a vestigial headlight, and the two wheels have different style fenders

Yeah, I mean Rust is only verbose if you want it to be. let foo = "bar"; is valid rust too, no need to declare the type and definitely no need to declare the lifetime.

For that matter, if you ever declare something as explicitly 'static in code that isn’t embedded or super optimized, you’re probably doing it wrong.

let a: &'static str

Ok, but then I’m just gonna give your car a little kick so you know you’re hurting my ears.

Kidding, but yeah it can be really annoying, and also many drivers don’t blip their horn like you’re saying, and instead give a full honk. Anybody walking nearby gets an earache, and anybody living or shopping nearby has to deal with the noisy environment created. Probably better to just flash your highbeams or be more patient. The horn is not meant to police other drivers or signal noncritical information, you don’t see people honking every time someone is texting while driving, or driving with their lights off.

Real talk, don’t honk unless there is a danger of crashing.

Yes, the driver in front of you should not have their phone out. No, that does not give you the right to take your rage out on everyone in the surrounding neighborhood because you’re mad about having to wait 10 seconds to start driving again.

Don’t drive into a city and act like you have the right to be as loud as you want.

Yeah one nice thing about nixos is that their package search website is really good. You can also search for config options with examples.

I mean the Arch wiki mostly works on NixOS too. The problem with NixOS documentation is that there aren’t many examples for the Nix language itself.

The nice thing is that NixOS will keep your setup and all your tweaks if you ever need to reinstall. It’s designed to solve that exact problem.

One way of switching over would be to carry over your homedir and just starting with migrating packages and config as a first step.

it’s better for everyone if you negotiate layoffs and firings beforehand. No surprises and everyone gets their day in court. That is how the union system works in Sweden.

American MBAs and HR managers are too cowardly to have tough discussions with their employees.

yeah the app does that sometimes when you switch between articles, pretty funny bug

Try using the monado runtime instead of SteamVR.

See Kawane Rio’s 15 minute lightning talk about VR on Linux from this year’s FOSDEM:

Meanwhile, Ubuntu is switching to uutils

I have to actively tell my grandfather who wanted to switch to Fedora to stop trying to use the command line lol, it’s easier to remember the GUI. CLI isn’t some big looming threat like it was in the 2010’s.

AI summary

it’s funny because it pokes fun at the latent sexism in our culture. It’s not glorifying it, it’s portraying it as silly.

Check out this website for information about multiplayer games on Linux:

There’s only about 700 games that have broken anticheat and Hunt: Showdown’s anticheat system officially supports running on Linux.
