I hope Gen Z shows up. I don't buy into poll results.

No it's not. It's because it, like other Chinese companies, are at risk of being browbeaten by their government into providing whatever information they have on American users to use as they wish. One can easily argue what kind of risk that actually poses, but that's why they're trying to ban it. Unless you have some sort of proof....

You have a point, but you need to not care about some else's bullshit opinion. You don't need to explain yourself. Save your dough and you'll have money for whatever suits you down the road.

Paying cash for big items like cars isn't always the best idea, but less debt never hurts.

I'm all in. It's on the Nov ballot here in Colorado.

I mean.... They're not wrong. Why the hell would he go get curb stomped now instead of waiting until she's technically gotten the nomination?

It'd be fun to watch the beatdown, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

No, and I mean NO! Dwarf Fortress post should be without the hilarious and colorful story of boatmurdered

You can read the whole log, but starkravingmad's journal is pure LOL.

It's soo good. It's taught me most of what I know about Linux. And, without getting into a battle over inits, I just love the simplicity of runit.

It's definitely hard to beat: )

One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I've been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I've got the itch to switch.

I am looking at rolling / up to date distros. I'm inclined to use CLI when available.

I've been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

I was thinking of trying Alpine, how is APK?

Not interested in *butu, but apt seemed okay.

What's your favorite and how does it behave?

[-] Charlatan@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Void is just soo good.

  • Runit is super simple and makes sense to me. - I get to build the distro the way I want it.
  • I've learned a ton about the inner workings of Linux using Void for the last 3 years.
  • You're right about packages, but I've not had issues as I've found flatpacks or appimages for anything not offered.
  • Xbps has spoiled me. I HATE using almost every other package manager. They're all so slow and cumbersome.

Wow. #1 'get off my lawn' post of the day. There is nothing wrong with auto... It's the drivers.

Thanks for being a wonderful steward for my adventures in Lemmy!

[-] Charlatan@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I see a lot of users who post have @nameblah@instancetheiraccountison, which I think is very handy when posting in other instances. Did I miss a step in my account setup? How do I set my name up in the same manor? TIA
