The lack of docker registry-like solutions really does seem to be the chokepoint for many alternatives.

Personally I love using mkosi and while it has all the composability and deployment options I'd care for, its clear not everyone wants to build starting only with a blank set of OS templates.

Definitely my favorite mobile RSS app.

Personally I keep it syncing off TTRSS for filtering and automatic actioning on certain feed entries, but that aint everyone's cup of tea. I'd like to think NNW at least covers most people's use cases whether standalone or relying off another service to aggregate.

In no world am I trusting some random proprietary vibe coded ssh replacement app with access to my primary computer, much less one doing unsolicited shillslop posting.

Huh? Few mennonites under 60 even speak low german much less with any level of fluency or preference.

Theres definitely vaccine hesitancy in the community but this feels like grasping at straws and rather quite the disconnect to why its a cultural issue in the first place.

On a similar note mooltipass can export an encrypted backup of passkeys. That said platform should support multiple passkeys so if you lose access to one you arent screwed over.

Another classic case of xkcd 927. The declaration of license and hope that anyone abides by it is simple, but the execution, enforcement, 'royalties' and reality of it all is anything but simple.

Similarly awkward is many of their own urls being either dead or seem to lead to the wrong documents, for example their "collective's license" just leading to their own example documentation.

Moved away from sudo to run0, set up some aliases and havent looked back.

On an aside, --empower has been a nice recent addition, running privileged commands as the actual calling user rather than root, different effects and not a replacement for all superuser tasks but a useful tool to have.

It almost felt like a well poisoning those that were preaching towards casual audiences how 3d printing would bring in this era of having a little factory in your garage. A set of machines that'd make anything and everything without any expertise on the user's end, replacing most overseas production.

I would rather chew asbestos than to use some random self updating, likely vibecoded 3rd party wrapper to run something so easy, something that many package managers already properly distribute builds of.

Never mind you're missing various features like the api proxy, shell completions, etc.

I mean 99.9% of the problems can be averted by just not installing some random new aur package with 0 votes or popularity.

The vast majority of packages an average user needs are built by arch anyways and aur by large is not nearly as needed. Still would take easily reviewable pkgbuilds over adding some random PPA as all too many ubuntu users tend to do or similar.

Being "weird" is fine, but a lot of people dont know how to be normal about being "weird". When it feels like theres walls of perpetual irony to one's personality or embarrassment of one's own interests it rarely bodes well.

Doesn't mean you have to reveal every single interest, just have a little confidence towards the ones that do, whether or not you misread and how they land.

The idea of arch was never that its "supposed to be hard mode", its meant to hit what many of it's users consider the sweet spot of not being too opinionated but not leaving every single factor up to the user either. For many people that balance makes it in fact easymodo.

Calling it hard mode is putting it on a pedestal, a weird one that ignores much less opinionated linux distros and setups like Gentoo.

Same, its just been working fine regardless of touchpad or mouse. I genuinely dont get the fuss some have been having with tahoe

iirc from previous criticism I saw on this a majority of the trial recipients were retirement age adults, but all the same people much wealthier with the privilege to have time/money to spend doing art. Younger artists? Not established enough.

For all people talk negatively about friction, honestly I see it in many cases as a feature, not a flaw.

Far too many flaws of discord, reddit, and other "socialmedia commons" come from an absolute lack of friction. People seeing it as almost a right to participate wherever, whenever, without ever lurking more and learning a community's culture, norms, or etiquette.

Some find it funny to be performative and larp as AI. Some maybe hope they can influence actual bots. Most probably are just doing it to screencap and farm engagement on "human" social media, which ironically probably have a much higher bot to human ratio.

> this was back in the days the kernel included its own boot loader

I mean hey these days you dont necessarily need some external bootloader either, on uefi systems the kernel can boot itself thanks to the efi stub.

Not surprised with how much they cost these days, not to mention how much more conscious people tend to be about most juices being just another sugary drink.

If people really want juice theres much cheaper orange-focused fruit blends, and for people who want real OJ the non-concentrate stuff isnt that much more expensive.

I think you are taking their point literally, its not that knowyourmeme is not crediting 4chan, its that the racism/edge is polished off presenting a more mainstream version of many memes.

I'm not so sure. You've had people insisting that, or how they'll lock it to only their own NFC tagged filaments but lets be real, if they start imposing serious restrictions most purchases would go to other makers.

They make solid enough devices sure, but they dont exactly have a moat that would keep users buying their stuff if it were to start getting locked down. They have far more to lose than they have to gain doing so.
