does not really happen any differently outside the event horizon of a black hole

I mean, that’s a pretty big caveat, given that strength of the gravitational force in the object was big enough to create the event horizon in the first place

You can always test it by booting off a backup image. If it works, you have peace of mind, and you can just reboot again from the correct image

If you open cachy hello, you’ll see an option to install snapper support there. I should also add, you need to use grub for the boot images to work when you do a kernel upgrade

Yep, as long as you use btrfs during the install and select snapper support

I don’t know the details, but CachyOS uses a pacman hook to do exactly that, so it’s possible. It looks like there are AUR packages to do the same thing, but I haven’t looked at them

This is such a strange take to me.

I was on the broader fediverse for a year or so before lemmy took off, and I got used to the very strong left leaning environment I found there, where compassion for your impact on the people around you was built in to the norms of many of the communities. I wasn’t used to it, but I was so glad to have found it.

And then lemmy happened. And unlike the rest of the fediverse, which was largely populated by people escaping twitter because it had been taken over by a fascist, the lemmy population was largely people escaping reddit because they could no longer use 3rd party apps. And the difference in ideology between those two groups is night and day.

To me, the broader fediverse feels left wing and comfortable. Lemmy feels centrist, where half of my time as an admin is banning trolls and bigots spreading hate.

tl;dr - Your definition of leftist is not my definition of leftist.

I’m a hobby photographer. I have to keep a windows machine in my house just so I can run some of the software I need for my photography.

I’ve transitioned what I can to linux equivalents, and digiKam and Darktable are my daily drivers now, but Darktable is a HUGE learning curve for someone who hasn’t used it before. You are literally starting again with learning how to edit your images. It’s not simply a case of learning “how to do the same things in a new environment” but “learning a new paradigm, almost from the ground up”. I love Darktable, but it took a dedicated desire not to run windows software and then months of practice before I could start to reproduce things that I could do in Lightroom in minutes with little experience.

And on top of that, dedicated noise reduction software (which requires a good GPU) basically doesn’t exist on linux, and is next to impossible to run with wine or even VMs, because of the reliance on a GPU. And that means I have to keep a windows machine around to run my noise reduction. Dual booting doesn’t even work, because that means my photo workflow suddenly needs a reboot. So, a second machine, which is not ideal…

Which is a lot of words to say that it’s not always about being resistant to change or accepting alternatives. Sometimes there are no alternatives, and sometimes the “change” is a HUGE change. Unless a photographer is driven by ideological reasons to move off Windows like I was, it’s not going to be worth the hit for most people. And even then, I still have to run a windows box too…

The first one. Hormones may have played a part too, but the bulk of it was dysphoria and repression

I transitioned…

Yes to both, thought only a couple of times each…

Frankly, I probably wouldn’t move either if Windows didn’t permanently break my ethernet and WiFi drivers

I think this might be colouring your expectations a bit, and you might be projecting your experiences on to others.

I’ve said for years that it was gaming that was holding me back from running Linux full time. I don’t do a huge amount of gaming, but it is important to me, so for many years it was a deal breaker.

Now, gaming is good enough, even though it’s not perfect, and I moved to linux full time around 9 months ago.

People aren’t “lying”. They just have different priorities to you…

I don’t. I don’t “hold myself accountable” in the way you frame it, because if you “hold yourself accountable” every time your ADHD gets the better of you, you’ll just end up constantly angry at yourself, and still not getting things done, because being angry at yourself doesn’t make your ADHD go away.

So, I will always live in a messy house. But, I (mostly) stop it from getting out of control, and that’s enough. I don’t beat myself up that I can’t keep a house the way many other folk do.

A saying that helped me is “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly”. Which is to say, if something is worth doing, then getting it started and partly done is still better than not getting it done at all. Do the thing you need to do until you can’t do it. Then instead of forcing yourself to keep doing it, move on to something else. A hastily done kitty litter is better than none. A thrown together resume is better than not putting in an application (because you can always update/change it in the future). Give yourself permission to do things “badly”, because at least, you’ll be doing the things.

And, if you can’t remember the options for commands, fish will offer you suggestions. So, if you type ls - and press tab, fish will give you a list of all of the valid switches and a brief description.

Formal language also indicates dispassionate separation from your topic of conversation and the people you’re communicating with, which can be disrespectful in and of itself in some contexts.

An analogy is that operating languages speak different languages. And an app built for one operating system doesn’t speak the language of others.

But in the case of Linux, there are lots of really good tools that let Linux understand Windows apps. Steam has those tools built right in.

Where it falls down is that the tools that let Linux understand and run Windows apps aren’t perfect. So things like DRM, anti cheat, propriety drivers etc, can be a challenge.

But currently, if you’re not running games that use kernel level anti cheat, the vast majority of games will work on Linux. The steamdeck uses Linux itself, so it’s a high priority for valve to get as much working as possible.

There are bugs, but they’re less annoying for me than the deliberate enshittified features that exist in current versions of windows.

That being said, I don’t run linux on a laptop, and so my experiences have probably been less buggy than yours

My time limit is about two hours. Anything more than that and I start getting bored, distracted and twitchy

when on voice or the phone?

That’s it. Those are my pet peeves

I don’t know, because my parents were irreligious too. My dad was an atheist, and my mum is agnostic. She has some spiritual beliefs, but has no religious beliefs or belief in deities.
