They strike a deal to turn over all the pedophile priests yet?

No? Then fuck them.

if they provide a secondary benefit to the project,

You mean like lowering demand on the rest of the lanes, improving commute times for motor vehicles, lowering pollution, decreasing collisions, improving citizen health? Those kinds of secondary benefits?

Sidenote: It’s almost more depressing that so many of the guys who ran and won on a platform of regressive social policy are also too stupid to see it through.

Ah yes, nothing is as good for nation as shifting the tax burden to those least able to afford it. It’s not like the economy depends on most people having disposable income or anything.

The US could run out of missiles in next few hours. It won’t, but it could if it wanted to. What a stupid metric to try to define countable objects.

lmao

That is near exactly what I was considering, I live between an apartment building and a park, more or less.

What if I’m doing it to block signals from roughly half the 60 other APs with half a dozen devices each I have broadcasting nearby?

the initial state should match the final as closely as possible, in this case by installing the new optional dependencies automatically

Sometimes. Some of us out there have use cases where we really, really don’t want our systems making choices for us and would rather read the notes every time. One could equally well argue that an OS whose entire purpose is letting the user make the choice suddenly doing something automatically without asking for input is the break in state that users would find astonishing.

FFS dude. It’s not lazy want updates to be as simple and pain free as possible. The entire point of these universal machines is to automate shit so we don’t have to think about it so much. We have different distros to run them because people prefer different ways of doing things. The one you pick doesn’t make you better or worse in any way. OP found out Arch is more work than they want to put up with for their daily driver and the benefits aren’t worth the cost. That’s a pretty big fucking club to be calling everyone in it lazy.

This kind of elitism is the most unnecessary, useless, vacuous, tedious horseshit and hurts Linux by pushing people away for nothing. Stop it.

Ubuntu was by far the worst experience I have had in terms of updates destroying things. The number of times my post update reboot brought me back to a GRUB prompt, I’ll never go back.

Maybe it’s me, but while you have outlined the events that got you to this point, I don’t understand either the ‘attitude’ you find problematic or what it is about Arch you would hope to find elsewhere. Hard to make a recommendation without those.

Define nonpolitical.

Completely unreadable. Fix your shit.

So, I hate Apple as much as the next nerd, but even I have to admit the new m.whatever chips are pretty slick. My wife is in design and has always fussed over Apple, so I relented and got her an Air for her last upgrade. Considering the price it’s still an impressive, sturdy little machine with bonkers battery life.

obvious troll is obvious.

Pro-police propaganda masquerading as anti-centrist propaganda.

I can’t believe people take this dog-shit seriously.

I would guess Mozilla is making plans for what happens when Chrome is sold. Now that Firefox has proven to be an inadequate antitrust shield for Chrome, there is no longer any reason for Google to continue funding them.

Yeah, making that record made all the difference after the last two times.
