What's stopping the downloaded script from wiping my home directory?

Lol. Lmao

Exactly this. Kde's graphical application store actually has a warning on arch, since pacman can be even more problematic when it comes to abstraction layers like GUI's.

At this point, rpm's and deb packages can be auto updated through their relevant package managers. And it looks like gnome software is attempting to try to get user packages installed via flatpak entirely.

I honestly don't know how this could turn out.

It could be an amazing change that results in much more progress for hardware acceleration on guests of various types (since that is what vmware is good at) in kvm...

Or it could mean that they are dropping that feature from vmware altogether.

Regardless, I like this change because it means I would be able to run vmware machines and libvirt kvm machines at the same time, at least when I am forced to use vmware workstation.

I also dislike proprietary software in general, so I think less proprietary software and more FOSS is a good thing.

Cave Noire

Gameboy roguelike that is simple, but very elegant.

Sadly, since romhacking went down, I don't think it's possible to find the translation patch for it, unless they uploaded it to the internet archive.

Gridland

Also by double speak games, and open source gridland is a variant on the match 3 style. During the day phase, you accrue and store resources, and build stuff. During the night phase, you fight.

Zotero is a citation manager, with a firefox extension to save an article (but really, a tab) with one click.

It also has fulltext search. You can search snapshots of everything you save.

"But I can't save all my tabs at once"

(There are some solutions, but nothIng official)

Save as you go. Computers simply don't have enough ram for 2000 tabs.

Anyway, it also seems to be able to run javascript plugins, and I saw you have some experience with that.

It also has support for folders, so you can organize it a bit better than tabs work for that.

It's cause you're not actually supposed to use nix-env: https://stop-using-nix-env.privatevoid.net/

You're actually supposed to be using nix search nixpkgs#packagename to search and nix profile install nixpkgs#packagename to install.

However, to use both of those, you need to have the "experimental" (not really though, most of the community uses them) features of nix-command and nix flakes enabled, which they aren't by default.

And of course, nowhere on the main documentation did I find any if that, I only found it via the pain of using it wrong, and forum posts.

Nix's documentation is horrific. I've had situations where I only got help via discord...

you'd really have to verify isolation.

What if they live streamed the entire process, like on twitch?

I am building a homelab for during college (4 years) and I don't really feel like doing a release upgrade (ie: debian 11 to 12) in the middle of schooling or over a break when i wanna relax and just chill. Debian offers 2 years of support official, and like 4 extended (unluckily, the times didn't align so if I picked debian I would have to upgrade during college),and Rocky/alma offer 4 years official and like 8 extended.

I might be wrong (on phone rn), I recommend checking https://endoflife.date

Big difference, big enough that this factor is the singular reason companies go with them. Not having to do release upgrades as frequently means less maintenance, means less costly.

Well damn, I guess fraud must be a lot more widespread than I thought. Because no one seems to get punished for this behavior. Just recently, Lockpick, a tool for getting Nintendo Switch roms off a physical device, was dmca'd, and the person who filed the complaint admitted to doing so on twitter. They received no punishment.

I think it's likely that this is a similar case.
