This is indeed a good speech. I often see of critique from both sides of our political discourse about some of his actions (security, climate change, neoliberalism, etc.), but I’m proud to have a smart, thoughtful, and well respected leader representing our country on the world stage. This is a tricky needle to thread, but hopefully one that can lead to continued peace & restored prosperity for all of us.

We didn’t ask for this, but we need to make the best of the current situation.

And to be clear, as a Canadian, I still view our southern neighbours as friends (excluding a few notable individuals), who are going through a difficult time. One that many of us saw coming from 1.609km away, but sometimes you can’t tell a friend their love interest is a psychopathic narsicist, because they’re too infatuated to listen or see it. They have to learn for themselves…

Unfortunately, in this case, we’re all being dragged along for the ride.

I understand the frustration, but this is a major gamble. “Different” can easily be worse, with potentially irreversible consequences. Voting alone isn’t enough, especially given the options, but neither is rolling the dice. Citizens aren’t powerless when they get involved, organize, and actively push for better solutions together.

Even if this was an economically sound proposal, the next X45 magnitude solar flare might be a nasty surprise for reliability metrics…

Edit: at some point, this would also likely contribute to Kessler Syndrome, but at least we’d have chat bots.

Me as well. I don’t remember where / how I got the CD. Linux as a desktop has come so far since then!

This brought back some memories: https://www.mandrakelinux.org/

That would sum it up nicely; however, It’d be unfair to not mention the 77 million Americans that voted for this clown, the 90 million people who neglected their right & responsibility to vote, and the 75 million americans who voted against him.

Voting matters…until it doesn’t.

I got a Framework 13 a couple months ago - it’s been awesome so far. I’m happy to support their business model & repairability - it’s super awesome.

Sucks for you guys south of the 49th parallel who have to deal with (pay) all these ludicrous tariffs!

It was around Sept 2023: https://futurism.com/elon-musk-moved-twitter-servers-himself

You can also just search: “Elon Musk Twitter server move” and the terms “Sacramento” or “Pocket Knife” might help.

Plasma is great for the flexibility (shortcuts), and so easy these days.

I was searching for task switcher, expose, etc. And just completely gapped on searching ‘overview’. (Web searches didn’t show it either, possibly because it’s too simple, so nobody posts about it.)

Next up I might have to play some window tiling (e.g. like i3, sway & hyprland).

Amazing - Thanks for that!

I just switched from GNOME to Plasma in the past week, after a long time on gnome, and Plasma 6 is great. The only thing I miss so far is viewing all my windows on the desktop when I push the meta key - alt-tab seems clunky in comparison.

Any suggestions there?

My keyboard’s autocomplete did a terrible job of finishing the sentence for sure… If I kept going it started repeating “good example of this in general” ad nauseum.

But Aeon has been good so far!

OpenSUSE Aeon is a good example of this in general and I think it is a good example of the way that it is used

I’ve had a pretty good experience with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, with a pretty similar use case / criteria.

I’ve done my share of tinkering, and while I learned a lot, and enjoyed Gentoo, Arch, Debian, NixOS, and others (Mandrake, Ubuntu), I sometimes I just want get my work done…

With Tumbleweed, there are a few packages that you’d need to install for codecs, but that’s easily done via the CLI zypper package manager with a single command.

I’d definitely recommend checking it out - its been a solid daily driver for almost 3-years now with very few issues, and lets me focus on getting stuff done. I wonder if this is due to their QA build process (OBS)?

Anyway, good luck & have fun whatever you choose!

I’d be curious how well this approach translates to multi-lingual keyboard layouts. For english users, perhaps theres another benefit to non-QWERTY layouts (e.g. Colemak or Dvorak) after all? … and two factor authentication should remain helpful I presume. Especially physical key methods with no audible characters typed (e.g. Yubikey, Titan, etc.)
