I was looking at a grocery receipt, and there are three different tax rates depending on the items. The receipt doesn't even specify which items are taxed at which rate - just the total at each percentage.

I understand the goal of lower or higher taxes on groceries is to incentivize purchasing healthier options over more processed foods, but does it really affect purchasing decisions when the final price of the items is opaque to the consumer?

Silverblue vs uBlue (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago by ozymandias117@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I’m considering trying out an immutable distro after using Tumbleweed for the last 6 years.

The two major options for me seem to be Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora-dx

My understanding is that universal-blue is a downstream of Fedora Atomic

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

uBlue Aurora-dx seems to include a lot of the additional support I’d need - ROCm, distrobox, virt-manager, libratbag, media codecs, etc. however I’m unclear how mature the project is and whether it will be updated in a timely manner long term

I’m curious what the community thinks between the two as a viable option

Wow! I didn’t expect sched_ext to be accepted based off historical precedent of not allowing multiple schedulers

I thought the focus would be on optimizing EEVDF now

Not that it’s better, but it’s not new

I did something similar as a kid in the 90’s at a papa johns

The comment over on hackaday pointing to it being bricked possibly being down to font licensing is funny if true

The one they use at my work is extra silly, as it adds an extra email header saying it’s coming from a phishing campaign

There’s assembly and makefiles too

Less of a joke answer, there has been work to allow Rust bindings for drivers.

Any idea how this demand is different from the current state of Android?

Under Epic's terms, any app downloaded from anywhere would operate identically to apps downloaded from Google Play, without Google imposing any unnecessary distribution fees.

Last time I used it, I downloaded all my apps through F-Droid, and I didn’t think they were paying Google anything?

App-based is also unacceptable if it’s a proprietary implementation

TOTP/HOTP are the best standards right now

Tape will be around until something better for archival purposes comes around

It lasts significantly longer sitting on the shelf than HDD or SSD by far

I doubt it’s being used for anything other than backups and archiving though

It seems somewhat damning that Google’s own browser had a workaround for this, though

Yeah, just the American version

It affects where you can rent housing, what houses you can buy, whether you can get a car, etc

Do people ever avoid hospital visits

At least in my experience, we’ll generally be able to go to the hospital

Do hospitals put people on a payment plan

Generally, I’ve just seen the debt transferred to a debt collection agency afterwards, since there’s no money for them to take. They’ll harass you, and it affects your credit score, but they can’t send you to jail

Professional players should all be using the same hardware and software configuration

VAC is to keep the game fun for more casual players

I'm not sure if this is an iOS bug or an issue with wefwef, but any time I select a text entry, I don't get a keyboard on an iPhone 13 running iOS 16.5.1 and wefwef 0.10.4.

Is this a known issue?

I tend to lean towards melodic death metal and symphonic metal, so hopefully this fits!
