I think this approach is going to fair the best for mainstream adoption (i.e. Windows refugees). So I would agree that the “future” is going to involve immutable distros as a large, possibly majority, of all Linux installations.

They have their own “obligations” to fulfill.

Maybe this isn’t a thing in the UK but look into a contracting/staffing company. It won’t be high quality work but it’s work and they won’t waste your time if they think you’re unhireable.

The fact they’re not even willing to boast about a “zero-casualty offensive” makes me think they do exist. Falsely claiming none were killed is a fantastic way to piss off the soldiers you’re hoping will do your bidding when martial law is declared.

The other day I saw an advertisement (or PSA I guess) talking about all of the Israelis still held captive by Hamas and how their families have been without them for over a year and a half. No mention, of course, about the tens of thousands of Palestinians that will never see their family members again because they were blown to bits by the IDF.

That was on Pluto TV. I uninstalled it and will never ever put it back.

They’re grants. Universities are one of the foremost research institutions in the world. Not granting them additional research funds would basically mean we’re relying on donations or private research, which would be driven by profit potential instead of overall benefit to mankind.

Doesn’t even have to be the key necessarily. Could get in via some exploit first. Either way taking over the machine became a 2-step process.

I don’t know the support model for Framework but they should really be able to work through these issues for such a common distro. With the various things you mentioned it doesn’t sound like bad configuration, it sounds like a hardware issue. Given that Windows is so different from Linux it may be the case that Win11 does a better job masking the issues.

It’s a nice dream to be able to start a small business, pay fair wages, use eco-friendly materials, source locally, pay yourself a shit salary to keep costs low, and not have any other backers hounding you to turn a profit at any cost. But that’s what it is, a dream. You gotta start somewhere, somehow and hope you don’t lose your soul along the journey.

In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.

Here’s at least one article on the subject: https://rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/

Could easily be taken the wrong way, but it could also be a “Trump Has The Best Ideas Fee”.

Just be Proton without the support for fascism. Easy.

We don’t need to tax the wealthy to fund the federal government. We do it to destroy their power.

This. Once they’ve conquered industry they’ll move on to something bigger.

I’d be open to “opt in” classes in high school as well. I don’t believe ignorance of guns keeps you safe from them.

A revolver, shotgun, or other firearms without magazines are fine for most hunting and self-defense cases. I don’t have a problem with an 18yo buying one of these on their birthday. I do have major problems with a teen, or anyone really, coming in with zero history of firearm ownership and buying 1000 rounds and a semi-auto, high-powered weapon.

As far as improving your corner of the code goes I would say a consistent style is important but having 500 lines per function is not a style. If someone will complain about efficiency (function call stack etc) then someone needs to identify what parts are truly time-sensitive. It’s likely not the entire codebase.

Wrangling a monster code base really requires a product owner. If one person doesn’t own the application as a whole then there’s no hope of consistency in the first place.

Or at the very least, so long as its http driven, put a proxy in front and on the backend break up common features into microservices. With a proxy the consumers will have pretty much no idea they went from talking to one service to a dozen.

It’s been the hardest thing for me to instill good testing practices in devs. In a function with 23 paths devs usually burnout and only do 9 or 10. Most never consider that making the function smaller is an option.

Y’know, while you were writing a book on anti-Semitism you could’ve easily wrote that it’s okay [for Jewish people at least] to criticize Israel.
