As a very long time Arch user I wouldn’t say “easy” like everyone else seems to. I absolutely would not suggest it for a first distro for someone, which is what I would classify as the “easy” level.

But if you’re comfortable with using Linux, the terminal, and being able to follow written documentation you’ll be able to do it just fine maybe with a little frustration the first time. If you’re installing to a laptop, make sure to look up your model on the wiki first.

BAT is trash but I’d love to see more quick crypto donation options.

SELinux was a product of the NSA. Maybe the best thing that agency has done.

They went bankrupt in 2018 and are but a shell of what they once were.

On new install without logging in a Microsoft account?

They do, and did. Perhaps this reaction with the ozone layer just hasn’t been considered until now.

Using rm -rf scares me. Is there a reasonable way to delete git repos without it?

I don’t know what to tell you, that’s the command you need to use.

If you’re that worried you’re going to nuke important stuff, make backups, and don’t use sudo for user files.

“Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a CBDC [Central Bank Digital Currency],” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday.

lol, no shot he wrote this.

I’d still own one if they were just banned on highways. The risk is probably pretty low on low speed city streets, where these would be most useful.

No clue what that means. I was thinking more along the lines of how there’s 3+ techniques for async functions. Or that there’s a handful of syntax implementations, versions, and supersets of the language. Or that there are many interpreters all with different standard libraries and quirks.

It’s an annoyingly flexible language.

Oh, and there’s at last 2 other ways to do it too.

It no more says that than hosting an HTTP mirror currently does.

You say that like this shit is hard to use.

Oh yeah, I agree it’s super inefficient currently. But if the theoretical 100% efficient process is 5% of our current yearly energy expenditure, that sounds promising and suggests we shouldn’t just write off the idea.

Looks like a specially modified SyncThing was just used for exfil.

Just click this link bro. Just one more link man. Just click it I need it.

Can’t imagine “shutting down completely for just two weeks” would exactly be reasonable, but yeah I wonder if the article had a typo in it. I’m not sure. As of right now, the numbers are still the same in the article.

If the numbers are correct, expending like 5-10% of our energy expenditure for a single year on carbon capture sounds a lot more reasonable than the article suggests. Even if it were half of our yearly energy usage, that sounds pretty reasonable if you draw that out over a few decades.

Dulwich is decent. Has some good porcelain functions. But it’s organized kind of weird. I sort of recall it’s the only one that isn’t a wrapper on the git CLI?

Anyway, they all kind of suck in my experience.

By stealing its photons!
