They got back together and got up the first time they died, why not do it again the second time?

Not the person you replied to, but I don’t imagine I’m the only one that would just say yes to this.

Honestly just memorize the fundamental ones and google everything else you need on the fly. You’ll naturally memorize the ones you use often.

I’ve used VIM for nearly 5 years and the only keybinds I have memorized are ‘a’ (append right here) ‘A’ (append to end of line) ‘i’ (insert right here) and I use the arrows to navigate instead of the letters. The only incantation I have memorized is %s/text to replace/text to replace with/g (find and replace through entire file. Remove the /g to find and replace only the next instance).

Once you have those, you can basically do anything that you’re capable of in a normal editor. If you need to do something beyond that, search “how to x in vim” and click the first stack overflow link that comes up, hasn’t failed me yet

Call them Union Members, it’s what their founding fathers called them

With the advancements in wine and proton, I’ve found a lot of games do well with adding -dx11 or -dx12 in the launch options.

Maybe a ticket could be made about considering changing the default for one of those programs

Akshually, Puerto Rico votes pretty regularly to see if the people want independence, statehood, or to remain a colony. Last voted on in 2024

Considered “friendly” by Israel

Not by Israel, by the system in place for nuclear warheads.

The good system will magically discern…

The system doesn’t have to, the people do. And they’re quite good at it.

If you’re willing to spend the money…

You are absolutely right that resources would have to be moved around. This system, however, is not owned or controlled by a single country. How those resources would get moved around would be way above my pay grade

Replied down the chain

1. The tightest missile defense system in the world in public knowledge
2. The actual system that is used for ICBMs wasn’t activated because these were considered “friendly” missiles by that system.

ETA: 3. Those missiles didn’t have nuclear warheads on them, so the good system wouldn’t have really cared even if they weren’t friendly

I think @DesertCreosote@piefed.blahaj.zone gave you a great breakdown, and I’ll add a little more.

I’ve worked with military technologies before. Unfortunately, I can’t give away many details for relatively obvious reasons. However, I can tell you with absolute confidence that in the case of a ICBM with a nuclear warhead being launched, there is a close to 0 chance it will ever land on Earth. In fact, ICBMs are almost entirely useless technology nowadays.

A nuclear warhead may also be delivered via plane, a la WWII. This too, is largely a nonissue. The odds of a plane getting deep enough into a country while carrying a weapon like that while under the level of surveillance that is currently going on are again, close to 0.

There’s a reason nobody has dropped any Nukes yet. It’s not because anyone is afraid of the consequences. It’s because it’s so close to impossible for it be an actual threat.

I have an undue sense of guilt when hearing about some particular war crimes.

I believe in a past life I spoke German. I think I was reincarnated in this way at this point in history to show me the other side of what was done. I’ll do better this time

I really agree. I let my partner try out my steam deck (immutable arch instead of Fedora, but ultimately the same experience. Flatpaks and easy updates). They fell in love with it, so I bought a second one for them. It’s been a year now, running it almost exclusively on desktop mode and using it as a Linux desktop.

I haven’t even shown them the terminal yet.

They’re not calling Rust unsafe. There is a memory safe mode and a memory unsafe mode in Rust, and this was built in unsafe Rust which allowed for the memory bug to be exploited

So… so are they. The new media has not yet been tested for 100 years because they were not invented 100 years ago

Of GNOME or KDE? Because both of them leave gunk in system files when removed

This just isn’t true. There are tons of dependencies that are going to get left all over the place

Right. But cleaning up the old files left over from swapping your DE is much easier if you actually have read and write access to those files. When you swap DEs, it’s gonna leave shit behind whether you’re atomic or not. But atomic systems have more barriers to cleaning them up, to prevent the user from accidentally cleaning the wrong things.

On atomic systems like Bazzite and the universal blues, getting rid of the old files from the previous DE can be a huge hassle. On normal systems it’s a lot easier
