Boom, installed, cool addon

A blocklist for malware would be safeguarding. But you can’t claim this is “safeguarding” against… completely safe software?

And it’s not exactly easily overridden, otherwise this post wouldn’t exist.

Sadly, there a few annoying things in Firefox which absolutely are not overridable at all. Firefox is heckin’ awesome, but this just ain’t true.

Google likes Israel, because it gets paid billions in American military subsidies to technologically enable Israel’s genocide. So it’s not surprise, it’s effectively lobbying for its own military contracts.

And there we go, a multi-year antitrust effort will result in nothing. The remedy is just that… they have to share some indexing data.

We’re fucked.

Almost, but vim can’t display images, doi!

That’s what catimg is for.

I don’t really agree with the representation from your first paragraph. The European Commission is entirely picked and decided upon by member states. The commission is only as democratic or undemocratic as the governments of the member countries. The parliament is inevitably equally or even more (bourgeois) democratic from being PR alone. So it’s a minor overall improvement from national lawmaking.

Yes, the EU sucks, supports aggressive imperialism and enforces capitalism. I agree it has shitty articles. But unfortunately, so does every member state of the EU. If anything, I think the EU means less of capitalism’s worse excesses happen than they otherwise would. The EU is neoliberal, but continues to care more about personal and consumer freedoms than countries’ governments.

The key to my defense of the EU is just that they are the 90% Hitler to individual countries’ 99%. I’ll happily tear them down the microsecond there’s room for a meaningfully good alternative.

In a socialist world it would probably best to tear it all down and start again from scratch. For now, it’s a shitty mix of being a mediating force, lessening some of the worse parts, but also a stabilising force, making it harder to replace.

As a European, it’s been a long time coming. I would say tide turned in favour of it and both Ukraine and Israel-Gaza have been important factors - Most countries suddenly decided they didn’t have enough sway over public support for Western imperialism. And the big part of that has been the internet.

Sadly all those search engines directly or indirectly censor piracy results. I use DDG daily but they sadly do a lot of censoring results of various kinds, even just political.

Android is already thoroughly Linux-based ;) You just called all android users nerds!

I’m told my cute’n’calm Hexbear instance means there’s a lot of drama here I can’t see. So apologies if my tone comes off badly in the ol’ .ml context.

Rest assured I was just out for fun conversation to learn about atomic stuff :) Hope the rest of this thread ain’t too stressful.

Oof, fair enough, I certainly don’t see a lot of said ruckus. Cheers for the context.

It was a silly news article, it’s not true and was never widely practised.

You sailed into the UK in a small boat, during the period at which the country is at it’s most fascistic mouth-frothing about people arriving by small boats. Blame right-wingers.

Because I was being told the pros outweight the cons, and if I can get a better OS, then I want it? I feel like it was a reasonable question and we had a good conversation out of it.

I also put ‘normal’ in quotes myself, I obviously meant a non-atomic Fedora.

I feel like you’re coming across unnecessarily dismissively here, when I was just out for a nice conversation on the benefit of atomic setups (and got two! :) ).

I mean, the illustration itself, not the concept…

This is very cool, and I can suddenly see atomic being useful for certain circumstances. Won’t be using it for my personal computer main driver, but hopping/resetting this is easily attracts me so. Thank you!

Thank you for the informative response! :)

saying don’t mention stability is proving the point

My point is that stability is already 100% fine for me now. So saying you’ll make my already rock-solid experience somehow more stable is meaningless. As a power user for over a decade, I’ve personally experienced zero issues where I wished Fedora was somehow more stable. It’s like telling me that Silverblue connects to the internet - Like yes, I already have that.

From what I’m reading, it sounds like the singular ‘pro’ is being forced to do cleaner, more self-contained practices. I can totally see how that would be helpful for some people. But personally, I would genuinely despise that kind of restriction.

I’m admittedly the kind of person who hates being forced to do the ‘best practice’ thing. I’m genuinely happy that my Linux distro will me rm -rf the root partition (with an ‘are you sure’ prompt these days :) ). I’m happy that if I really want to purge the kernel package with dnf, then I can. I want (and kind of need) my freedom to make a mess, if I tell Linux to jump, it will goddamn jump, even if it’s a bad practice technically terrible decision. I have zero interest in going all around the houses just to do it the technically correct (and sometimes less-effort-in-the-long-run) way. If I ever want a clean plate, I can still spin up a container just like you’re saying.

So I get the feeling that atomic is very much not for me, which is what I suspected :) Very glad that people like yourself find it an improvement, that’s what flavours are for!

Where is this from? It looks depressingly old :(
