  • Yeah and the dev didn't say he's switching over to a 100% vibe coded model, just that he's ok with it as long as the bugs are manageable.

  • what is this error?

    Jump

  • TIL! Thanks. I find whole concept of an immutable setup so fascinating.

  • the correct way of updating Bazzite?

    Jump

  • FYI if OP is running Emudeck, a handful of the emulators are frustratingly installed as AppImages (not FlatPaks) and you will need to run Emudeck's updater too.

  • Probably more than you think, remember we never actually saw the full interior of the Ent-D's main shuttle bay. It's massive.

  • feel somewhat obligated to love the Constitution

    I love the design of golden age scifi and I love how the constitution class is like the perfect bridge between sleek atomic era and whatever you want to call the more detailed aesthetic in the 70s.

  • Not sure if it's my absolute favorite, but I have always been unusually impressed with the creative design of the D'Kora class:

  • Continuously steering a conversation away from the big important facts and towards irrelevant details is called "flooding the zone with shit" which yes, is a type of disinformation campaign.

    It only works if regular people take the bait.

  • how do you see future of linux?

    Jump

  • Since I first learned about Linux I have never envisioned a future where Linux didn't eventually take over essentially all operating system spaces and I still don't. The question is how long will it take to get there.

    But as others have said, I think the overall decline of desktop PC use combined with the just pure overall quality of Linux compared to Mac and Windows PCs in 2026 implies that the x86 PC space will become majority Linux within the next 10 years if not less.

  • you agree it's a distraction but continue to bring it up 🤔

  • The fact that anyone is even debating the (completely irrelevant) first aid kit means the disinformation campaign is working.

  • I'm saying by focusing on the irrelevant first aid kit you are playing into the hands of those who seek to discourage the use of private messaging apps.
