People seem to like to call people transphobic nowadays I guess. I had some nut job here on Lemmy calling me transphobic despite no evidence of it. They followed me around on my previous comments calling me a transphobe. I asked them to post screenshots for everyone to see the evidence. Multiple times. I said I would apologize for anything that could be misconstrued as transphobic, and try to make it clearer what I actually meant to say. No reply.

People are just weird sometimes. Maybe they don’t know what the words mean that they use. Ignore it, is my advice.

I like my wife to be smooth on her legs, and semi smooth downstairs. She likes herself fully smooth though.

I even like myself smooth, but my wife doesn’t want me fully smooth.

It’s all just preference. 🤷‍♂️ Nothing to do with gender at all, in our case.

Really. I moved away from Ubuntu when they forced Unity on us. 😅

Ooh, okay, definitely sounds cumbersome at first glance.

?

Can you show me one example of me picking a single fight?

One more second of searching. 🤷‍♂️

Look, I made a comment on your comment, just to be informative, and that’s a purpose that adds something. You can say it’s not all you want, but somebody might find it informative to know that those two aren’t the only options.

It really does sound like you took it personally, I’m sorry, but it does.

I’m just saying to anyone reading your top level comment: “other options are available”. I know this post is asking for recommendations, but recommendations should be in top level comments then, IMO.

You’d think someone would be happy to learn that there are more options. 🙄

First link on duck duck go. Tuta and Proton are in the list, but there’s 5 more. 👍

Yeesh, they weren’t kidding

So you can install packages? It’s not a fully immutable system?

Agreed. 😄 Arch and pacman definitely adheres to this philosophy of “unless you know what you’re doing”. Pacman allows this type of selective upgrade, and it allows to ignore any package you like during a system/all-package upgrade, which may or may not break the system.

You can also post-install make changes to the database of installed packages, like change the install reason for a package (as a dependency or as explicitly installed).

All these things are happily executed without warning. 😁

The reason for the need to check the news is that the system can have any combination of package versions installed, and requiring manual intervention by the user in any quirky upgrade situations helps to keep the complexity down of the system and package manager. I think it’s worth the low complexity.

The overhead of checking the website is super low. It’s basically the same as checking the release notes when there’s a new version of Ubuntu, or whatever other software you might be curious of. Same thing.

essentially made all your games run within a sandboxed instance which has a limited set of binaries that emulate another mini OS within your primary OS.

Isn’t it just library bundling? It’s not like it’s running inside a virtual machine or anything.

I can see the Rocket League process right there when listing my user processes, e.g.

There are so many conflicting reports regarding the performance on Flatpak, for Steam but also in general, so I don’t know what to believe.

At least one source said the performance overhead is negligible on modern hardware, so I think I’m gucci.

That’s not what they were refuting. They were just saying that containers run on the metal just like any other software.

🙂

That would be nice indeed. They do have their own desktop client, but it should be possible to connect to their servers with some kind of add-on or something. That would be awesome.

I’m saddened that you think me pointing out there are other options is “disagreeing”. I’m just offering the insight to readers of your comment that there are other options.

It’s not difficult to find, if you just search for “email provider with encryption” or similar. Pick your favorite.

The point I was making was that people shouldn’t feel like there are only two options. 🙂 Please don’t take that as me disagreeing with you personally.

I’m referring to encryption at the provider level

So was I. 👍

The are a lot of options with encryption apart from Tuta and Proton.

More expensive than Tuta for a similar offering, but what’s nice with Posteo is you can have a really low lowest tier with €1/mo, if that’s all you need. 👍

I’m personally with Tuta.

If you only update once a month (which should be fine as well, definitely), then you only need to check the news page once a month too, less often than I do probably. 😄 Seems like a win-win. 👌

You can also selectively update packages of course, but this is strongly ill-advised unless you know what you’re doing.

But like, doas pacman -Sy firefox should be fine…

You didn’t hear it from me. 🤐🥸

Yeah, vaguely 😅 I use syslinux for booting, habit from when I used to dual boot, so I was luckily not affected. But yes, it is definitely wise to check the news before upgrading system-critical packages!

How much is a Mac Studio though? I imagine it would take me a few years of power consumption to catch up to the difference in price. 😅

What do you have to do to work your GPU down in power consumption like that?
