Bank robbers lmao. Banks at least have the integrity to pretend they didn’t create all their money out of thin air.

Check which linux-firmware-* packages you have installed. Arch recently split the linux firmware into a bunch of separate packages, and made the old package depend on pretty much all of them. So unless you already knew about this and uninstalled the packages you don’t need, you likely have a bunch of unnecessary firmware stuffed into your fallback initramfs.

Check in alsamixer and see if maybe it’s muted. Alsa will sometimes mute things randomly when configurations change.

100 GB of emails? The heck are these people sending?

That would work.

I’m not sure what could be in (or missing from) your environment that would break sudo, but it’s a place to check at least.

One big difference is that sway doesn’t run as a login process (and neither does gdm), meaning none of your .profile files are getting sourced. Check how your environment variables differ between i3 and sway and see if that might be the issue.

In a functioning society, we wouldn’t have to rely on the “philanthropy” of rich people to fund good causes. It should not be possible for one person to hoard so much wealth that they get to personally decide which issues get ignored.

To interject with a somewhat pedantic point, nothing is truly apolitical. But there is something to be said about sensing the proper time and place to start a political argument.

Such is the problem with dictators in any situation. A benevolent dictator might be one of the most productive ways to run a project, but at some point there has to be a successor. Even a mildly-less-benevolent dictator could cause a lot of damage. Linux needs a governance structure with checks and balances even if it means slower decision making; it’s too important to let fall into the wrong hands.

Schwede contemplated selling his car, but after racking up more than 60,000 miles on it, there was little value left in it.

That’s a pretty steep devaluation curve. Do electric cars just wear out that fast? Or is this more of a hype-cycle rug pull situation?

I’m gonna join in with everyone and recommend completely zeroing all the drives (make sure you unmount them before doing it). It will take a while but at least you will have drives in a known state and can eliminate that as a possible issue.

Asking out of genuine naivety, why do you do that?

Linus himself uses a macbook, I’m sure the mainline kernel has decent support for somewhat recent hardware

Yeah, I really wish people would be a little more tactful when they go on performative tirades like this. It’s giving “old man yells at cloud” energy. Ridiculous behaviour when you think about it. People can block clouds, yelling is worse than useless.

To be totally fair, nostr’s whole thing is that users can delete all of their federated data if they want to, so it makes sense if they are upset about having their data copied to a place they can’t control.

Not sure how realistic that is with the data being publicly accessible via the web, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the they have some kind of license that gives the dmca request the ability to hold a nonzero amount of water. Then again, I wouldn’t be suprised if completely fails, either.

they are idiots that are completely messing everything up including their own plans

Incompetence is one of the hallmark qualities of a fascist government.

Purely because of the painter’s outfit, I thought I was looking at a poorly photoshopped star trek meme at first.

My brain accepted this new piece of information and immediately tried to recalibrate my sense of wellbeing based on how much time I spend playing cozy games.

So there was a bizarre moment where I felt positively dandy.

Did anyone else get a mental health buff just from reading this headline?

I was expecting this to be yet another transparent rug-pull scam, but I hadn’t even considered he might pull the rug out from under the entire global economy (at least not this way). Scary thought.

If it’s through steam, I wouldn’t expect there to be any issues.

Just make absolute certain you have a backup copy of any save files before deleting your current OS, for the sake of your relationship… I can only imagine how many hours someone might have put into a game that came out in 2009. Definitely not speaking from personal experience haha
