Avoid layering. The best way to install packages via a package manager is through Distrobox. This has the advantages of not allowing down the update prices, being available immediately without a restart, and also with Distrobox you can use any distro + package manager you want. Layering means using dnf. With Distrobox you can use Ubuntu, Arch, whatever.

The idiot left

This is just as dumb and childish as most of the crap shared by right wing boomers on Facebook.

This kind of quippy one liner style comic or meme is the junk food of discourse.

Easiest distro for elderly parent

Reply in thread

I use Aurora for my wife's laptop. It, Bluefin, and Bazzite come from Silverblue.

If you want GNOME: Bluefin or Bazzite.

KDE: Aurora or Bazzite.

Like Silverblue, updates happen in the background automatically. You just have to restart the computer to pick up OS updates.

What Are ‘Scientology Runs’ and Why Is Gen Z So Obsessed With Them?

On the one hand, this is very funny. On the other hand, however, it’s still very funny, but also maybe we shouldn’t turn running full speed into a house of religion, no matter how hokey that religion may be, into a trend? Yes, the whole enterprise is shady at best, and they believe in some weird space alien magic. They also have a history of harassing former members and anyone who dares to pull back the veil on the secretive organization’s scare tactics.

Fuck off with this whitewashing. Scientology isn't "hokey" or "shady". It's outright evil.

So they say they don't perform autopsies, and the warden was surprised they wanted the body. Either they're lying about the autopsy or there's some sick fuck just cutting up bodies and taking parts as souvenirs.

Difficult decisions

I was legitimately sad when I had to stop watching AvE.

His content quality had dropped but I still watched because I enjoyed his delivery. But when he started praising the Canadian convoy protestors, it completely ruined his channel for me. And then he kept espousing awful politics and I couldn't watch anymore.

Mathematicians Have Found The Ninth Dedekind Number, After 32 Years of Searching

Reply in thread

I looked it up on Wikipedia.

In mathematics, the Dedekind numbers are a rapidly growing sequence of integers named after Richard Dedekind, who defined them in 1897. The Dedekind number M(n) is the number of monotone boolean functions of n variables. Equivalently, it is the number of antichains of subsets of an n-element set, the number of elements in a free distributive lattice with n generators, and one more than the number of abstract simplicial complexes on a set with n elements.

Pretty simple to understand. I mean, I understand it, for sure. Totally.
