The Matrix was what got me into the genre, and it's got a special place in my heart. Probably the one I revisit most.

Some more context: SCOTUSblog been acquired by Dispatch Media, which runs The Dispatch, a conservative political news outlet whose editor-in-chief Jonah Goldberg wrote the books "Liberal Fascism" and "The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas"

Hope the buyout payment was worth your souls, Tom and Amy.

I switched a workstation to Secureblue for the very specific security priorities targeted by that project, but I think for the majority of users, the main reason for not switching to atomic is one you mentioned: why fix what isn't broken? The main selling point promoted to potential new users seems to be that updates don't break anything, but I can't remember a single time since Debian Sarge that an update broke anything for me, and I actually find the rpm-ostree package layering and updating process to be far more of a headache than otherwise.

Unless it's prepackaged like a steam deck, moving from the traditional way of doing things to atomic is a major change. Like any major change, people need a good reason to make it, and I think right now the only compelling ones are either hyper-specific (switching to okd and needing to build it on coreos, wanting to move to a specific atomic project, etc.), or just general curiosity.

Band of Brothers. The intro is so long, but feels like an important part of the whole experience.

That's why you can adjust swappiness, or designate a different high-endurance storage device for it.

Manor Lords has been one of the most beautiful and innovative games I've ever played, and whenever I pop in to play it I end up spending half the time just zoomed a bit out, watching my little towns live and breathe. It's lovely.

Dwarf Fortress and the OG Cities Skylines are the only other games I play these days, and I think with those I'm set for life.

I love this generation so much, I have a CX and it's a dream.

I'd always imagined servicing and balancing 6 carburetors on the CBX would be a nightmare, but also imagined it'd be worth it haha

They might have valid concerns, but when the writeup includes stuff like

the developer of Signal wants us all to beLIEve

it's hard not to imagine the whole thing hand-painted on the side of a van.

Courts have ruled that cops can damage property in the course of their duties with no accountability or compensation required, so they'd probably just bulldoze it out of the way and destroy it. And then insurance would say they don't cover official acts of cops, and then the cops would send a bill for damaging their bulldozer.

There's probably more fun and effective ways to go bankrupt obstructing ICE.

Being sequestered into the oil sounds pretty nice at this point.
