    I don’t. I switched to Bazzite after using EndeavourOS for a while, and those are the only two I’ve used. I see no reason to ever go back from Bazzite though.

    With immutable distros you can “rebase” very easily to a different immutable distro with literally one command. I haven’t really messed with it yet, but it seems pretty straightforward.


  • Amazing game, and one of those “video games as art” that is often overlooked. The gameplay itself is nothing to write home about, but the narrative would not have been nearly as powerful if it wasn’t completely interactive.

    Maybe we could get some young, impressionable, IDF kids to play that white phosphorous sequence so they can learn what it feels like in a video game without having to actually murder countless civilians.






  • I don’t know what it is you want to distribute, but if it is newsworthy or political in nature, I think most media outlets (like “legit” ones like WaPo, NYT, etc.) have ways of contacting them through Tor for situations where the person with the information might have legitimate fears for their safety (e.g. whistleblowers).

    But that’s really only for a certain type of “post.”


  • Fair enough… It’s been nearly a month since I commented here so I don’t remember the exact situation, but if having a lot of updates was an issue, then yeah maybe not EndeavourOS. There may be LTS versions, but since it’s based on Arch, I’m not sure. I personally don’t mind it, and have yet to have a single issue with an update “breaking” something (though I have Timeshift set up to take a snapshot before updating just in case), but I guess

    I could see someone being annoyed by having the little thing pop-up to tell you how many things you could update, but I kind of like it I think. It kinda feels like I’m very slowly, incrementally, making my laptop better, albeit usually in ways I can’t even perceive at the time.

    But hey, everyone has their preferences. That’s why there’s a billion distros to choose from.


  • I imagine the people who still run independent companies that fill vending machines (I’m not sure if this is still the model, or if capitalism ruined that as well) will gladly install the M&M branded machines, when the rental fees go down drastically.

    At least that’s how I see this playing out: Machine is provided to small business for cheap (possibly free), majorly increasing their ever-thinning profit margins. I’m sure the cost of snacks increasing every month is a nightmare for people who stock vending machines, and their profit margins must be thinner than they’ve ever been.

    They’ll install the new machines, and maybe even make marginally more total profits… of course the real money is in the data being collected by the machine.

    Shit, I bet they could start having vending machines where they just give you shit for free, all you have to do is give a thumbprint, or strand of hair, or fingernail, or cornea scan, etc… And people would use them. Hey, free shit right?
