CARS RUIN CITIES

I mean, of course they do! Austerity starves working class folk, and leaves them desperate.

Desperate people, largely, don’t have the energy, time, the means to fight for better labour conditions, better wages, better insurance, better benefits, or really anything. Starving people don’t have the means to fight.

That is… until people have nothing to lose, then the gravity-powered socio-political equalizers come out.

Atomic and declarative. Which is way cooler.

If we’re asking what people mean when they use those descriptors, then you’re correct.

However, literally speaking, in this context, immutable only means read-only, and atomic only means that updates are applied all-at-once or not at all (no weird in-between state if your update crashes halfway through).

The rest of the features (rollbacks, containerization, and immutable meaning full system image updates) are typically implied, but not explicitly part of the definition.

I’m only peripherally aware of the SCP community, but I really enjoy browsing the stories… what’s fallen apart about it?

I’ve noticed that almost everyone has missed the most “cloud-native” aspect of the Universal Blue project: The build process.

What’s really cool about this is that the images are built in a “cloud-native” way. Right now, they’re just using Github’s actions pipeline to push images. This does a couple of very cool things.

First: It means that any image that gets sent to your device was already built on a system and checked as OK. It’s still technically possible that a bad image could get pushed, but the likelihood is extremely low because they are tested as a single cohesive unit before being sent to anyone else’s device.

With traditional distros packages are built on a system and tested, but they’re not necessarily tested in a single common environment that is significantly similar between everyone’s device. This largely deals with dependency hell, and weirder configurations that cause hard-to-diagnose problems.

Second: It also simplifies the build process for the Universal Blue team because they are able to take the existing cloud native images from fedora and just apply some simple patches on top of that. While doing this in a traditional distro way as I understand it would be far more complicated. This is why Universal Blue was able to update their images to Fedora 41 like… 24 hours after release? It was crazy fast.

The creator of Universal Blue is also on the fediverse! I don’t know if this will actually ping them, but it’s worth a try.

She should be aware that likely almost 100% of those returned clothes are going to the dump. Unless this is a very reputable seller, with a trustworthy supply line, even if they say they recycle or resell, they likely don’t.

To me it looks like the devs of Bottles said that they’d be patching Bottles to remove support links in non-flatpak versions.

So… isn’t what openSUSE did in the spirit of that? Obviously, them packaging it at all is against the devs’ wishes, but… I dunno, this whole thing is a mess.

Edit: I may have confused “support links” with the “donate button”. However, I am still confused, and this situation is a mess. I sympathize with the bottles devs, because it’s good software, and they are largely volunteer developers. Beyond that? *exaggerated shrug*

I was just thinking about the Beau Brummel episode. He was almost an actually good guy too. One of the least bastardly people to be covered.

Maybe like a 2.

I’m gonna be honest, when I read this, I initially thought it was a joke answer by a community menber. The joke being about vague hand-wavy statements that people make when dodging questions.

Then I realized it’s OP, and OP is ostensibly the actual developer. I have nothing specific to say about this situation, especially from a technical perspective, but this reply… why even bother?

Have you considered tiddlywiki? You can selfhost, or use one of a couple of services. I know of https://tiddlyhost.com/

Also you could consider anytype. It’s cool, and I like what they’re going for. I don’t like their weird pretending to be open source license, but it’s still pretty cool software. https://anytype.io

Edit: for my personal stuff, I use a combination of logseq, and tiddlywiki, the latter moreso for game development. I landed on anytype at work because it’s simple, and my boss, nor anyone else cares about a license, and it just works.

Since we’re talking about it, and I really like the guy’s work, I figured I should say who coined it! Author, Cory Doctorow! He has a blog where he (among all the other stuff he writes about) defined the word, and wrote several articles about it.

Using fish (shell, not emulator) gets you some of that.

Yep. Sounds like you can’t really operate without one. :(

That sucks. I’m sorry.

Because if you can operate without one, life is so much better.

Hey, our mountains can get quite unruly sometimes, what can we say?

Just so you know, everything in that link after ?si= is purely tracking information so Google can know who you send links to, and when they open them.
