Yes. The current count is 610.

Plasma’s not that old, it just came out a few years ago…

2008?

I should probably clarify that I think my wife did something wrong and not Pop. I ran it smoothly for months before moving to Bazzite on my item machine. She knows enough to be dangerous and may have changed something without knowing what it did.

An atomic system would be more SO proof for me.

I’ve had my wife on Pop for 3-4 months now but she performed some update in the Pop Shop this week that totally borked the bootloader. I was not able to repair or even get it to see her hard drive.

I was able to mount the drive using the Pop live USB and backup her data. I moved her over to Bazzite, which is what I use.

It just works for me. I tried it about a year ago when I still had an Nvidia card and Wayland wasn’t playing nice. I’ve since upgraded to an AMD and most things just work out of the box.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gave me some trouble, but that’s just typical for MachineGames’s engine on Linux.

The most difficult thing about Bazzite is figuring out rpm-ostree and package layering. Luckily there isn’t much I need that’s not in the package library.

Smoking everywhere. For anyone who wasn’t around for the 70s/80s/90s, everything was tinged yellow and smelled of smoke. Car/plane/train seats had built-in ashtrays. Restaurants had smoking sections separated from the non-smoking sections by waist-high walls.

I have asthma and it sucked. Not sure if I grew out of it as I got older or if there’s just not a miasma of smoke around everywhere, but it rarely bothers me anymore.

I’m part of a CSA with a small, local farm. The winter share was $5 a dozen for 2 dozen every other week. We’ll see if the price goes up for the summer share.

Maybe I’m lucky to be in a city with tons of farms nearby, but I’d encourage others to look for local options like this.

My old washer died about two weeks ago. It was a 30 year old Frigidaire that shorted something and made magic smoke. That was a pretty asshole move.

We replaced it with a Speed Queen and it’s been great so far.

I agree for the big ones, but we have a local one I’ve subscribed to a few times, for a couple months at a time.

They pull all the ingredients from local farms, do local delivery or pickup at farmer’s markets, and they’re minimal on packaging, and they reuse the bags and ice packs. I haven’t done it in a while but it was pretty nice and it was helpful to break out of the routine of the same meals week in and out.

Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.

The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn’t familiar with rpm-ostree, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.

Conan and Craig were my go-tos. It’s not a talk show, but Conan’s podcast is hilarious and he really shines in the longer interview format, both with celebrities and with fans.

I cannot remember a single thing about the movie except that I recall loving the way in which the story was told but hating the story itself.

This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.

I can’t get it to update through the repo while layered, so I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I’m going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.

He forgot the most important variable in that equation, and it’s time. I continually have to remind clients of that. You can throw more people and money at a problem but you can’t get 9 people with uteruses to give birth to a baby in 1 month.

I think the story was that he had disappeared from friends and family for a few months prior.

From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.

Bluefin/Bazzite/Aurora are immutable, atomic versions of Fedora. I’ll probably explain it wrong but they’re more secured than normal Linux flavors and you get several copies of your core system files, so when you inevitably fuck something up, you roll back to the previous version and undo your mistake.

I’ve only just moved over to Bazzite in the last 6 months or so, so I’m no expert, but it’s been a cinch to get most games running.

I don’t think it’s quite that simple. I’m a dad to a FtM trans teenager and I was born in the early 80s. There’s a lot of “inertia” to the worldview presented as “normal” in education, media, and society at large just in my lifetime.

I think the first time I learned that homosexuality was a thing was from Ellen. I know now that everyone isn’t hetero but every relationship I saw around me, in books, in movies for my the most formative years of my life defined it as “normal” in my brain.

All I knew outside of “gender norms” was Bugs Bunny in drag, Bosom Buddies, Some Like it Hot, Rocky Horror. It was “not normal”, a joke.

I come from a liberal family with a liberal upbringing. I’ve considered myself an LGBT ally for a long time, but I still have a lot of implicit biases in my head.

When my child came out as trans, those implicit biases were the first things into my head. I love my son for who he is, want him to be happy, and fully support him. When he decided to dress fem for the first time after hatching my implicit biases were confused. But it doesn’t matter what those biases say because I consciously support what makes him happy.

My parents were born in the 50s. They are both unabashed feminists but they had another 30 years of that “inertia” to overcome when my son hatched. They still occasionally forget the right pronouns. His one remaining great grandmother has almost 20 years more inertia to overcome and still uses the wrong name occasionally.

I guess what I’m saying is that I agree with you to an extent. These things threaten their “inertia” and it’s hard to question yourself like that. It’s easier to dig your heels in and fight back.
