I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

Man, is he going to turn out to be a diddler like Nugent? He already looks like someone I wouldn’t trust someone else’s kid with …

I have started to hate my ceramic skillets. They started sticking a couple of years after we bought them, and it’s a pain to lose half of an egg to the pan…

Yeah, I get that. But also, the root mount point is a valid partition, and it is full, so it makes sense why it shows up that way.

I think a lot of the confusion is letting go to old habits and knowledge that don’t exactly work with the new system. In still going through that a lot myself (and will probably be making my own troubleshooting post when I have time), but it’s always good to experiment and see what you can learn.

Best of luck friend!

Minecraft is the one I keep coming back to year after year. Throw in a massive automation based mod pack and I’m set for months until the save lags to the point of unplayability.

Calling out bullshit isn’t being uncomfortable with other viewpoints.

Sorry not everyone has unlimited patience for fascist and/or genocide supporters. But thems the breaks when you hold shitty viewpoints.

I started with Bazzite recently after getting a recommendation to go with a SilverBlue derived distro, and other than trying to figure out my own issues, it’s been pretty smooth.

I do have a weird issue that crops up after reboot where the display environment variable isn’t exported or something. But considering I also had an issue with my steam library not loading that was user error, I’m not entirely sure that isn’t of my own making as well…

Be somewhat honest with the kid. Let him know you love chatting with him, but you’re over sensory (or whatever your particular issue is at the time) at the moment and you can’t give him the attention he deserves right now, but you’d love to hear about it later.

Kids are smarter and notice more than you think. Being honest and open about your issues is healthy for both of you, and helps show the kid it’s ok to not be in the mood to talk to someone and a kind/polite way to disengage.

It comes full from the first boot, because you’re not supposed to be able to write to it. That’s kinda he point of an immutable distro

You don’t, it’s the immutable root partition. You probably need to find the point it’s trying to write to and link it to a location it can write to.

Note: I’m still a newbie to atomic desktops too.

You wouldn’t want to MURDER that poor little fetus when you can force it to be born to SUFFER AND DIE like god intended.

The sooner we all admit it’s our habits that have collectively caused this the sooner we solve it but we all know that shit isn’t gonna happen so here we are. I

Can we acknowledge that most consumer habits are directly driven by the media and large corporations influencing people through news and advertising? Or that corporations have done their best to offload the responsibility for polluting the biosphere onto consumers, even as they knowingly peddled products that had direct damage to ecosystems and pushed habits that did nothing but make consumers feel better about the shitty products they consume (see plastic recycling).

The only way to be smart about the lottery is to not play.

I don’t disagree, but I also thing playing the lottery once in a while is fine if you’re just doing it as a daydream or something. Back when I worked in an office, if the jackpot got high enough we’d do an office pool and everyone that wanted to would throw in 10 bucks or something. And I’ve also done the same myself for the above reason but I play at most once or so a year.

Even if you’re bad with money, take the lump sum and go get a fiduciary advisor to handle it and give you a regular payout. Being a fiduciary advisor is important since it means they are legally obligated to work to the benefit of your money, not lining their pockets. Using something like a trust is another good way to protect you from yourself.

I almost thought that was Klippenstein instead of Krassenstein, and I was going to say he’s a legit journalist.

Yeah, the Krassenstein brothers are hack journalists, so you’re not missing much by ignoring him.

Now do not voting/non-participation. Is that increasing democracy? Is it leading to positive outcomes? Does it lead to outcomes that are even marginally better than voting?

Comparing voting to gambling is asinine, since not gambling has no effect on you, but not voting does not. And whether or not my vote increases democracy, not voting doesn’t increase it either and leads to outcomes like we have now.

It’s a cute idea, but that’s about it and only really makes sense if you choose not to be pragmatic in the slightest.

Well, they’re the only other game in town unless you want to sit back and let the fascists take power because people stayed home like they did this year, our hands are pretty much tied come election day. And that is a fact I will keep repeating as long as people refuse to understand that our country is run via electoral politics and no amount of sitting out will change that.

I’m all for getting better candidates on the ballot, but when the only alternative is naked fascism, telling people to stay home or not vote for them is a great way of shooting your pet causes in the foot.

Yep, I’ve bitched about that for the better part of the intervening 8 years. Still not sure if the establishment learned the right lesson from 2016.

We already know how we got here, which is why it doesn’t help anything to bitch and moan about how “both sides suck”.

Clearly, given how the power structure is doing things differently, right?

Quit your bitching and infighting and blaming everyone else, and focus on what we can do now.

Yeah, try to get the establishment to understand a lesson on what failed and have them finally back policies that will encourage people to show up so I don’t have to spend 6 months begging people to vote for them because they fucked the dog yet again?

Judge by what he accomplished

Getting said literal fascist elected by doing fuck all to solve the problems he said he would, gave said fascist a pass by assigning a mealy mouthed investigator, and hanging out in the race long enough to help depress turnout?

We can play the blame game all day, but unfortunately what’s done is done and the time to take action is yesterday.

We also need to understand why we got to this place, and saying “who the fuck cares” just emboldens the Dems in power to keep trying the same shit that doesn’t work.
