Update: sooo system76 cosmic desktop environment reached 1.0 and existing PopOS installs can now update to it.... I have used it for a bit now and it's clean, fast and just does what's needed. Its awesome. The underlying OS could do with some more love but its a good package atm, you could absolutely do worse.

All good. Checkout the flatpak called "gear leaver" for managing and updating appimages. It's really helpful. If your using a ublue image it might already be installed.

I have used sivlerblue, kinoite and bazite. Each one of them could run appimages. What are you using?

I would second the bazzite OS over pop. I have used both (and still do) but bazzite is much more stable an imaged based system. I have had multiple updates go wrong in the past with popos over the last 5 years. Pop is also not recieving the attention it used to because the system76 team is focused on making a new desktop environment (DE) for PopOS (which is awesome but) that is taking some time and considerable resources away from the OS. Even when the new DE does get merged into to the OS I would imagine it would still have some issues to iron out. Where bazite is good now and its about as uncomplicated as it gets with linux. I would even go as far as saying I have more success running games under bazzite than PopOS in its current state.

They got fired and replaced.

I live in Australia and I just did an audit of the power board that was sitting next to my bed. All four devices and the power board itself all have the insulated pins. I can't remember the last time I saw one that didn't have insulated pins. I'm sure they exist, but they are not common.

We also have RCD on all our circuits so if someone is able to short the pins, it will trip within 20ms or less.

Very true. Just want to point out the message is irrelevant for this purpose.

The messages might be end-to-end encrypted but what about the meta data? They might not have GPS coordinates but WiFi hot spots names have long been geo-located by the tech giants (its more power effient and works for devices without GPS). They cant read the messages but they should be able to tell where they are going. And If they can link the identity of a target to a whatsapp account there is a very good chance that account is talking to other potential targets.

If your goal is to target an individual and anyone they are talking to for assassination, a missile can delete a house associated with that WiFi name. Meta data and some open source intelegance is all you need.

This is the world we live in.

The point of the film is to show how horrible war is in a context Americans can relate to. If they made a more realistic alliance, down some sort of real life right / left politics the message would be lost and it would be held up as some sort of propaganda film by one side of politics with the other side using it to justify why they're correct.

So, yes the "alliance between the California and Texas" is a very deliberate choice.

I use a bred knife to slice cheese off a block every day. Line it up and push down, one hand on handel the other on the spine at the top. It works better than any other knife to slice cheese blocks.

This post makes it sounds like I am committing a war crime.

You either die hero or live long enough to become sleepy Joe.

Thanks I'll look out for this when I re-watch this show again. So much thought behind all the details

 

If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he'd reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.

Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a sherpa.

 

I have been running Bazzite on my TV for a few weeks. Was using PopOs however I was having issues with some games not launching, probably to do with the combination of Unraid VM, GPU passthrough, Xorg with fractional scaling on a 4k pannel. Bazzite with "Game mode" is amazing. Closest thing to Steam OS that I know about. Everything just worked with the exception of needing to firmware update my xbox controller to get it to work. Game mode seems to report as a steam deck.

 

I watch the WAN show, as it seems to be the last LTT property approaching genuine (if you skip the merch messages). But Linus use of the "for the people" really rubs me the wrong way. He can't be a big boy and take a position or make a decision without outsourcing it to "the people", seems to prove he is completely out of touch.

No hate to Luke or Dan, I like them. Luke deserves a fucking metal for the "hard R" save.
