Not written in Rust? Instant pass!

This is one of the easiest statistic to game. AI is master BS generator, just give it shitty prompts and toss away the code.
I'm absolutely loving KDE since I returned to desktop Linux after a long absence.
What really shocks me is how few of the big distros make KDE a default or "first class" DE choice. If I was a novice user coming from Windows, I'd much prefer KDE, which if you stick to the GUI is very navigable and similar in some ways.

There’s a reason for that: KDE has more irregular release schedule than GNOME. KDE folks are working on that, so expect situation to change.
One of the reasons I stopped using Nix is how much more often I saw posts about political bickering than anything helpful.
I'm not aware of any other open source project so consumed with virtue signal bikeshedding.
Same here! I don’t have a problem with people having different opinions than mine, but when they start banning core contributors for that, it’s just a matter of time before ship goes down. I kind of hoped I was wrong and after all this time the dust settled - not because I was going to use it again, but because the project is a very cool idea.

I keep wondering why NixOS and few exotic distributions are the only ones that offer declarative configurations. Something like Ansible, but more like Nix.

I’m disappointed to find that it is a news /politics sub
If you go to r/worldpolitics, you’ll get how that subreddit got its name. NSFW

A funny thing is the US could easily sanction any country in the 90s because it controlled so much manufacturing. Nowadays we can’t even sanction Houthis since they can get everything from China. Judging by the port situation, soon China can sanction us, easily.
The general idea is to restore that order, and decouple from China. The problem is such things will require serious leadership, not mafia style extortion.
Then there's Helios that crashed near Athens. The pressurisation failed and the cockpit oxygen cylinder had been left closed. The preflight check of the crew oxygen mask flow had not been done. By the time a cabin crew member with portable oxygen figured out how to get through the door, the fuel was about to run out.
