Of course! This is the perfect distro for your laptop

It will be likely installed even if disabled, so your eventual malware attacker can enable it and live off the land instead of installing a key/screen that your antivirus might catch.

I hope your bow skills are enough to kill their armed bodyguards first.

That was one of the first distros to support Wayland, so it has my begrudging respect.

Fuck ads, they’re everywhere at every level. I want to see less of them, not more.

His first book (Sapiens) does a great job of showing how frail is modern civilization, though. Its foundation is, like religion, only beliefs.

I’ve never cleaned my fridge ice maker in 8 years, how much life expectancy do I have?

Also, confort for having a higher being supposedly take care of you like your parents did when you were a child. Anything to soothe the loss of infancy.

Because medicine shouldn’t become a flea market where you’re gambling your health against profit maximization.

Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don’t let them hyperinflate prices without justification.

It’s not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you’re buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.

It’s like

– Arms dealer: Each tank cost me 500,000 dollars to make. Give me 5 billion for each.

– Let’s negotiate. How about 500 million instead?

– Arms dealer: Fiiine, but only because you’re a good client.

Pro tip: you can use Google’s Verbatim mode to get exactly what you want.

This has no right to be that funny.

iPhone reveal events have become basically:

a) Offering as new what other brands have offered as standard for years.

b) Offering something new that only works if you buy more Apple.

I have an iPhone, and couldn’t wait for the iOS 17 release so I installed the beta. Underwhelming is the right word, the event has no right to be named “wonderlust”.

Why would Apple go through the effort to offer you new features if it can just deny standard features to older/cheaper models so you pony up for a new phone?

The most innovative thing Apple is no longer the iPad/iPhone, by a long shot. Maybe their VR set, but it’s too early to tell.

You’ll only get more extensions, if anything. The current copyright system is an atavism from older, simpler times.

We changed to USB-C ports because the EU forced us we have courage!

Risk is practically nothing in your case, because you’re being careful, and know what you’re doing. You won’t run a binary when you were expecting the Barbie movie, for example.

If you were downloading binaries, then your risk is significant, but even then, unless you’re downloading new releases immediately, it’s likely that your antivirus will catch the new popular ransomware after a few days, when a few thousands of people have become infected. Governments won’t employ valuable zero-days on any rando who just wants to see their new isekai episode.

Behold:

sudo snap refresh

… yeah… I’ll see myself out…

Fun fact: the word “water” comes from the Proto-Indo-European “wat”, which is hypothesized to have roots in the Urheimat expression “wat the fuk?”.
