Yes, clearly. Biscuits originally sold as being a digestive aid to reduce possibility of discomfort maybe from over-eating. Personally never achieved such.

False advertising? Selflessly scoffing several packets in one sitting, esp dark chocolate persuasion, has never provided stated relief advertised by given name.

Must be eating them 'wrong'.

Likelihood of anyone ever being convicted whilst actually guilty: zero.

An atomic distro is one which is in my understanding, has a basis in libostree, right? I'm familiar with the Fedora/RedHat versions but not any others.

Immutable distributions, for me to are wonderful when they are sparse. I don't want anything on my OS which I don't use at least once on a while.

If I install Fedora (RPM) Workstation to a large extent I can remove programs that I don't want. Whereas SilverBlue (libostree), I'm stuck with whatever the maintainers template (is there a blocking mechanism?).

However, with sparse Fedora-IoT, I can't break it - to a large extent - and it doesn't have anything I don't want.

I always install minimal versions of OSs, from Fedora (Everything iso), to Debian (debootstrap) to ArchLinux to Exherbo to Talos, just keep them cleaner longer. Then I fix them until they break!

I think they're ideal for those starting out in Linux because they are not ready to break; not saying that they're not for others too.

There's enough documentation, at least for Fedora atomic distros, to make your own custom spin.

I'm not switching for any desktop, unless the basic OS is minimal; but have switched for Raspberry Pi OS to Fedora IoT (atomic distro), at least temporarily.

Wasn't being critical at all. Not expecting you to write for anyone.

I wondered what this actually provides. If you were explaining to someone with a good knowledge of the world, not grandma!!

Thank-you. Thought so but wasn't sure.

Cars younger than last century have two modes of indicator available.

[ BMW, Merc and Audi drivers: nothing to see here. Not in this whole post and comments. ]

A soft push in either direction gives a brief - I don't know what the definition/legal requirement is - period where the indicator flashes before cancelling itself.

A harder push has the indicator stay in that position until the steering wheel or the driver cancels it and it stops.

Maybe you're complaining about people using the soft mode.

In my country, there is no requirement to indicate when moving back to your lane after moving into the/a overtaking lane. I think that's a little weird tbh. I've always indicated, wherever I'm going, on the basis that when I don't, someone will sideswipe me through my own negligence.

Of course, these days the sodding lane-change Nazi in my car won't let me pass any line, but happily forcefully steers me into the hedgerow/ditches on country lanes where there are no road markings. You can turn it off every time but not generally.

Hell, I remember a time people just said "um", "er" quietly and paused between words when they hadn't thought the thought through.

Instead now they use 'like' as a space between words whilst the processing is still taking place.

It gets real confusing when what they're explaining is the concept of similes.

I do like this man's musings. This is one I actually understood.

[-] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thank-you.

I'm not dealing with much more. Maybe twenty IoT devices in total but quite a few routines spread over Alexa and Smart Life.
