I tried to setup Loki but the documentation was atrocious. Everything was outdated, referring to tools that were marked deprecated but documentation for the replacements just didn’t exist.

Somebody succeeded in taking a 500ml bottle of water through security. So to protect their profits the airport has insisted every go back through security and re-purchase the £4 bottles from the air-side shops.

The insanity of pushing this while the Horizon scandal which ruined so many innocent lives is still ongoing.

Because developing a tool solely for a roundtrip test is probably a waste of time. Perhaps it’s an easier exercise than I think but I would have thought you could manually test it far quicker and more thoroughly than by automating the process

They don’t need to sell anything to stay profitable, they just need to tip the right people to get the subsidies rolling in

Google will bribe trump and this’ll be undone immediately

Can’t Linux communities be just as bad? There’s constant bickering over systemd, snaps, canonical, red hat.

Given you never own digital assets, home ownership is outside people’s reach, and purchasing everyday goods through Klarna is normalised, how far are we from a generation who don’t own anything?

Any idea how it’d look if broken down into distros? I’m assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?

Tbf the pricks are probably just selfishly giving their income straight to some wealthy landlord

I gave up on Rainbow Six as well. I didn’t really understand the plot.

Apparently I was meant to be on the side of Team America: World Police and not sympathise with the environmentalists trying to save the world from corruption and climate change.

You do know you can swear on the fucking Internet, right?

Plug in air fresheners.

If I rent an Airbnb which has them I will hunt every single one down and it’s going straight out the window.

Do you find yourself correcting people who order a panini instead of a panino?

Yeeeeeees. Why would anyone ever want ice in their drinks?

1. You get less of the drink you paid for
2. It ends up watered down.
3. Cold = less flavour
4. It’s too fucking cold

And yet they look at me as if I’m the weird one for stating no ice. And apparently I’m being difficult when they still give me a drink with bloody ice

I’m not convinced that immutable distros are beginner friendly yet.

About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it

Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.

I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war.

My original comment was pointing out this entire post is an unnecessary distro war. Except now WSL is the battleground. It’s so unnecessary. I’m genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about WSL.

People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.

OK, that’s a different assumption to me. I kinda presume anyone toying with WSL is one of their early experiences with Linux.

My experience was if you’re fiddling enough with WSL that you’re running into issues then you may as well ditch Windows and move to Linux.

Hence arguing over which WSL distro someone is using is irrelevant. You’re better of persuading them to try dual booting Linux instead.
