This culture war shit is pathetic. “DEI” has become a dogwhistle (if one can even call it that at this point) for “I don’t like black people/brown people/women”, and they all shamelessly parrot it with their whole chest. Good on the PSF for doing the right thing and calling this garbage out for what it is.

Thanks ChatGPT.

The article you linked is describing how to set a static internal IP address (i.e. the address your computer uses within your local network) whereas YouTube would be seeing your external IP address (which is typically assigned automatically by your ISP). I’m not sure what the parent comment is referring to with “changing” their address, but I would assume they’re probably using a VPN or something similar so that YouTube sees the address of the current VPN server instead.

From what I can find online, it seems like it’s unlikely that particular term was originally meant to refer to slave masters and it moreso referred to the head of household.

Wow, this is my first time learning this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written so I assumed it was spelled “jipped” and never made the connection.

What’s your problem?

It’s overall a pretty good experience, but there’s occasional weirdness you may run into. For instance, up until a month or two ago I was encountering a bug that caused my phone to basically slow to a crawl after running Android Auto for 20 minutes or so, with a reboot being the only solution. This happened once while I was driving somewhere unfamiliar and it took about 5 minutes to start back up due to app optimization (which, incidentally, I don’t remember being a thing on other Android flavors after 2018 or so) so it turned into a whole adventure.

There’s also a fairly persistent issue I’ve run into where GrapheneOS starts very aggressively killing background apps, like as soon as another app gains focus. Not sure what that’s about but I haven’t really encountered it on other Android versions to the same extent, so I’m inclined to think it’s GOS-specific.

Assuming you’re playing games through Proton rather than vanilla Wine, kernels before 6.14 already have fsync which is used by Proton and effectively does the same thing as ntsync.

That’s just called arguing in good faith.

If you have to resort to browsing the web with a TUI every time you’re dropped into a tty then you really should think about using a different distro. When I was using it I didn’t take my laptop anywhere without having a live disk with a bunch of distros on me as well.

Also, Arch is very well known for requiring manual interventions in various scenarios and it’s really not for users who aren’t at least somewhat comfortable in a terminal. That’s not to gatekeep; it just genuinely doesn’t make much sense for someone like that compared to a more “on rails” distro. If they choose to use Arch then that’s their prerogative, but it’s not the distro’s responsibility to hold their hand when the express expectation is that users keep up with distro news and are capable of administrating their own system.

The author seems outright delusional. The continuing deprecation of X11 doesn’t even vaguely resemble EEE at the surface level. Also, it figures that they’d take the time to bitch about DEI out of nowhere.

Assuming I’m not mistaken, doesn’t QLED actually rely on quantum effects to produce color?

Have you actually worked in a programming role before? Googling things is absolutely the norm. Most people don’t know every single in and out of every library/framework they’re using, especially when learning new ones. This goes double for more complex or sprawling frameworks where it may be less than obvious how to perform a particular task from the documentation alone or when running into undocumented limitations or bugs (although admittedly an in-IDE assistant won’t be too useful for that anyway).

Fedora Workstation has been really good in my experience. The available software is shockingly up to date and I haven’t run into much breakage of any kind in the year or so I’ve been using it across 2 systems (despite my best efforts every few months when the urge to tinker hits me). I do occasionally run into issues caused by the default SELinux policies, but they’re not especially difficult to work around if you’re comfortable using the terminal.

I do share your sentiment about the AUR - I definitely miss it at times. That said, Flatpaks and the fact that pre-built RPMs are so commonplace have both softened the blow a lot.
