It’s this horrifying? Sure.
Does it trigger a protective instinct in most people? Absolutely.
Are there any studies that show whether something like this helps or hurts pedophile behavior around real children and their likelihood to abuse or not? I’d love to know.
If I had to choose between banning these out of a sense of moral indignation or lowering the rates of child SA… I’d really like to see some data.
Yes, Bazzite was my first. Immutability sounds great in theory but it wouldn’t let me change my login screen background and wouldn’t explain why. I bricked my drive permissions trying to get access and had to reformat.
That got me looking for alternatives and I learned about immutability and found Garuda, which let me do whatever I wanted, was also gaming focused, and has great helper applications.
Not sure why everyone always focuses on the executive as a scapegoat, it’s the legislature that you’re and passes these.
Came here to recommend safety glasses too.
How about insurance company employees who would be out of a job with universal health care?
What about all of the manual weavers put out of work by the power loom?
This happens with advancement. Grow up. “Someone might lose a job” is a terrible reason to perpetuate a murderous system.
I’ve used both Bazzite and Garuda. Both have an Nvidia install, both are gamer focused, and both have been easy.
Bazzite was immutable, which I ended up not liking.

All your points are valid, but I’m not going to put in 3rd party hardware and their default slicer seems great to me. There’s a group of users for who this is all more or less not an issue.
My Bambu had also been soooo easy. So there’s that.
Let’s you register an easy to remember domain name linked to an IP address you specify. It’s useful for self hosting or avoiding having to buy a domain name.
Free version makes you confirm every month that you still want the domain name, but that’s just a couple of clicks from the email they send you.
I switched when they announced Windows was going to start watching everything you do. So it can help you better… of course.
I started with Bazzite and didn’t really understand immutability. I had just heard it was good for gaming. I bricked my installation trying to get write access to the folder where login screen images are stored because that part happens to be immutable.
I switched to Garuda because it is also gamer focused and the system folders aren’t on lockdown. Both were super easy and have worked great.
I’m still learning what it means to be on Arch, but that’s an interesting journey, so I don’t mind.
I tried Bazzite first and switched to Garuda after. Both were easy and good for gaming.
Garuda is a gaming focused Arch distro. Super easy and works great. It’s what I switched to after Bazzite.
I would get ear infections as a kid with cows milk, goat was fine.
I use the xfce version and it’s pretty bare bones. Other than a background image I replaced, it didn’t have any annoying UI stuff in it. It still runs all the gaming stuff just fine out of the box.
If anyone likes Bazzite but doesn’t want the immutability, Garuda is also gamer focused and easy.
Needs are always based on objectives. Need to stay alive? Food, shelter, basic hygiene. Need to stay sane? Stimulation, interaction, meaning. Need to be happy? Free time, achievement.
The important thing is they are always conditional. You don’t even need to stay alive, unless you have an objective that requires it. You don’t need to go to the movies, unless your objective is to unwind. And so on.
Most often our wants and desires are what creates need as a requirement to achieve them.
Microsoft said they were going to start tracking everything I do, to, you know, help me or something.
Fuck that.
She was a classy lady, she might not have understood the gesture, but she would have weathered it with grace.
Honestly? Learn about flocks and herds. They aren’t just groups, they move and act in synchronized ways that make it impossible to just focus on an individual. They become a giant organism that activates primal centers of the brain.
