It would be another outrage lever to push in America between Maga and dems.

I don’t miss AUR. Well, I do but opensuse has OBS. Technically OBS is better as packages can be rebuilt automatically when dependencies are updated, but there are a lot more users on the AUR than OBS so AUR has more stuff on it.

OBS packages are less likely to break your system in an update, but the AUR is just flat out bigger.

There hasn’t been anything I’ve needed that I haven’t been able to find either on OBS or as a flatpak. When something isn’t in the disro repos, I look for a flatpak first, then check OBS. Mostly cause flatpaks are easier to search.

I ran Arch flavors for a while, (Endeavor, Crystal, Garuda, and mostly CachyOS) and I eventually got tired of the tinkering, so I’m back on Opensuse now. Benefits of the perks of rolling release with less tinkering than Arch.

I personally use Tumbleweed, then I use Slowroll on my media PC and my dad’s laptop.

Did you miss a required manual intervention on an update? A while ago there was an arch update that needed manual intervention cause of a dependency circle. Might be worth looking up the past year or so of manual intervention newsletter posts for Arch.

Last time I had a dependacy issue I was able to remove the conflicting package, update, then reinstall the package and it worked fine afterwards.

My own system was working great for a long while on an Arch flavour. But a bit ago HDR stopped working properly after an update and I just couldn’t get it running right. Would display very dim.

Eventually gave up on my 2 year old install and went back to Tumbleweed.

I loved all the tinkering on Arch, but I just don’t have it in me to do the tinkering anymore.

Eventually yes, but no estimate on when that will be, I know there has been a statement by the PopOS team that they’re working on it.

Right now if you want HDR you pretty much have to be running KDE for your DE.

Mint with KDE if it doesn’t support it already it will the next major release.

No idea when Gnome HDR support will come.

I’m really looking forward to using their Cosmic DE once HDR support is in.

I’m on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.

Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don’t have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.

Arch was… great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.

Pan fried this stuff was good, mixed in with a bunch of stuff in a rice cooker, just awful. Every other fake meat I’ve tried works fine for lazy rice cooker cooking, not this stuff.

I’ll sometimes try protein shakes when I see vegan ones I don’t recognize at the store. I’ve had a few very bad ones. Most fall into that “well, it tastes decent for a protein shake I suppose.”

I’m vegan and struggling with my weight for a while, bought a Huel subscription and it is really helping. I’ll get my measured out meal, then fill up on water and tea, but the shakes by themselves are surprisingly filling.

Portion control had been my biggest struggle. It’s easier to say no to another meal shake than getting seconds of something else, and the shakes do taste good. Well, the chocolate does, the Vanilla is… not amazing.

I’m also keeping up on it more cause I don’t want the hassle of modifying the order.

The other big thing that keeps me at it is weighing myself every day and logging it in a health app.

Pong. My dad had a old Atari pong system.

I’m partial to the 8bitdo Pro 2. Comfortable and has two back buttons.

Gentoo was my second linux Distro ever some time in 2003 or 2004.

Installed it by printing out the full install doc, which was like 30 or 40 pages, and starting up a stage one install. I got through the entire install by following the instructions because the documentation was that good.

I remember having a problem and hopping on an irc chat to ask for help and people there being baffled about the basic level questions I was asking while having a working Gentoo install.

I have $25 wired IEMS that sound better than my most expensive Bluetooth tws sets. I’ve taken to just listing to podcasts and YouTube videos with my Bluetooth sets at work.

I used to be a big fan of Samsung, but over the past couple years it has become a do not buy brand for me. They keep doing anticompetitive stuff with their phones so my next phone won’t be one.

Start of 2024 my Samsung TV that wasn’t that old up and died. And my less than a year old Samsung monitor is flickering.

My watch 6 classic is my favorite smart watch I’ve ever had, but in order to get it working well on a non Samsung phone you need to go through a bunch of bullshit hassle.

I was going to buy a PS5, then I figured I’d wait for the pro refresh model, then I figured I’d rather spend the money on nice headphones. Longer I go without the more the urge just… goes away.

Might get the PS6 whenever that rolls around.

If you don’t do a lot of highway driving a Subaru Sambar van is awesome and they’re dirt cheap to import. Next year the 1999 models will be available and they’re very improved for safety features compared to the 1998 ones.

When the Kei Vans were first made they made being able to fold the seats down flat into a bed a big priority because of how high rent was in the 80s and 90s in Japan.

Edit: I should mention that the improved safety features is that a front crumple zone exists at all, it’s still not safe, but it is a lot better than the older ones.

Yeah, they’ve got a ton of great documentaries there, plus some other series that are pretty great.

If I had to give up YouTube I’d move to Nebula. It’s been growing and is steadily getting better.

I don’t use the system anymore but at the time the parts I had weren’t supported.
