Your doctor stared at you as if they were going to throw back a couple more vicodin?

I'm gonna be honest, when I read this, I initially thought it was a joke answer by a community menber. The joke being about vague hand-wavy statements that people make when dodging questions.

Then I realized it's OP, and OP is ostensibly the actual developer. I have nothing specific to say about this situation, especially from a technical perspective, but this reply... why even bother?

I've noticed that almost everyone has missed the most "cloud-native" aspect of the Universal Blue project: The build process.

What's really cool about this is that the images are built in a "cloud-native" way. Right now, they're just using Github's actions pipeline to push images. This does a couple of very cool things.

First: It means that any image that gets sent to your device was already built on a system and checked as OK. It's still technically possible that a bad image could get pushed, but the likelihood is extremely low because they are tested as a single cohesive unit before being sent to anyone else's device.

With traditional distros packages are built on a system and tested, but they're not necessarily tested in a single common environment that is significantly similar between everyone's device. This largely deals with dependency hell, and weirder configurations that cause hard-to-diagnose problems.

Second: It also simplifies the build process for the Universal Blue team because they are able to take the existing cloud native images from fedora and just apply some simple patches on top of that. While doing this in a traditional distro way as I understand it would be far more complicated. This is why Universal Blue was able to update their images to Fedora 41 like... 24 hours after release? It was crazy fast.

The creator of Universal Blue is also on the fediverse! I don't know if this will actually ping them, but it's worth a try.

Using fish (shell, not emulator) gets you some of that.

The Luddites weren't anti-technology, and never were.

Luddites were always focused on not being ripped off by capitalists. Further reading below.

If a certain group of workers is too critical to be allowed to strike, then they're too critical to be forced to work in poor conditions. "Back to work" legislation should not exist to bind the workers, but bind the companies.

"Sorry, you're too important to Canada's infrastructure, you can't be allowed to mistreat your workers. As punishment for letting it get this bad, you must agree to ALL of their terms, and in return, they'll begin working first thing tomorrow. Guess you should have been more agreeable BEFORE the strike."

I dunno, forcing strikes to end in any situation seems dangerously close to forced labour. But maybe I'm just a dirty commie.

That's because all the good shit* comes from humans.

*but also so much bad shit. So so so much bad as well.

This is actually huge.

I'm far FAR from an Apple user, but the moment this is available, I'll be seeing if I can install FireFox with µBlock Origin on my partner's phone.

Or ad campaigns! Don't forget terrible products that are popularized by ads alone!

I'm sorry, but preemptive apologies are fine.

Anyone telling you otherwise is anti-Canadian. 😜

No. It's ghosting if they reach out to you, and you ignore them.

This is not ghosting. Can't speak on the rest. People are complicated, and their life seems more complicated than most from what little you said.

"Why aren't girls interested in guys like me?! 😭"

Because you're weird and overbearing.

Assuming you're saying all this in good faith, I can confidently say your assertions on what leftists believe is entirely off the mark.

In my experience the more left you are, the less you care about gender norms, stereotypes, and roles. More importantly, the most left-wing people I know are the least onboard with the framing of "gender = sex" and "gender is binary".

Personally in my own political journey, the more radically left I've gotten, the more conscious I've been of how things actually work for marginalized and queer folk. I used to be largely politically unconscious, and I used to think that "all the trans stuff" was confusing and weird "how can you be non-binary? That doesn't make any sense at all."

However, the more I've understood the world through a leftist lens, the more I've actually comprehended the reality the LGBTQ+ community lives in... and it's gotten less scary as a result.

I'm very left, and I do not believe an ounce of what you say I'd believe.

Ticket... town?

Say no to AI slop

Scary to imagine that someone out there might actually believe that if we forcibly sterilized a group of individuals, we are (not only committing a heinous and evil act, but also) removing their status as a human being.

Atomic and declarative. Which is way cooler.

Think the world might collapse? Maybe NOW you'll consider buying into the crypto grift! I swear it's definiely a good idea this time. I super-pinky swear it's a good investment.

Just ignore the countless times crypto has shown it's really only useful for scams, and money laundering.

I know this post "addressed" this point, but not to the extent that anyone with a partially functional ability to reason will be convinced. Here's my problem... I find it excessively hard to believe that in a collapse scenario anyone would be interested in trading goods for crypto.

Except don't. Don't preorder.
