If it has a borderless windowed option, does it produce the same problems?

That’s a really strange one, and I have to wonder how the devs programmed it. Games sometimes don’t detect my keyboard layout correctly (I use Colemak), but I can’t recall a time where the keyboard wasn’t recognized at all.

No, I vote they change it to be just an unpronounceable symbol. You know, kind of like the artist formerly known as Prince.

It’s a lot harder to complain about a name change if it’s not a name!

How you gonna make the good shit without POOP?

Nope, but it’s a nicer way to say, “Y’all are fucking stupid for caring this much about a name change for software that’s free.”

I’d rather let people read between the lines on their own!

Also tbh, if it does the same things as before, they could call it POOP, and I’d still use it. The name has no bearing on how it functions.

Who is really out here getting bent out of shape over a name?

There’s a way to create aliases to the programs in the containers so that you can run them on the host as if they were installed. Look into the Boxy app (should be able to find it as a flatpak) for a GUI way to do it, but you might also look into nix to set up different dev environments. If it’s not already a ujust recipe, look into how you can layer it and how to load up different nix configs for your different environments.

Eww, Reddit. No thanks. However, !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works exists!

Windows 10 has been sitting unused on a separate drive…

Maybe you could clarify a few things. You say Windows was on a separate drive, but then you talk about dual booting. Do you mean that Windows was on another partition on a shared drive, or do you have two separate hard drives?

If you have Mint on one hard drive and uBlue on another, seems to me what you should be looking at is adding an entry to Grub. I’ve only ever done this with Limine, but I would imagine it similarly involves editing some config and running a rebuild command to refresh Grub. There should be plenty of info about how to do this, given how old and ubiquitous Grub is.

If it’s two partitions on the same drive, it might be similar, but I don’t know.

Tbh though, I’m at a loss as to why you want to dual boot an atomic distro and a typical one. You should be able to do almost everything a normal distro can do by using Distrobox. If you prefer having total control over everything, why bother with an atomic distro? What problem are you trying to solve?

Also there are already a lot of binary blobs in the kernel, that also makes me nervous a bit.

You can compile your own kernel, you know?

No, the point I’m making is that both parties serve the same masters.

To what end? What’s the logical conclusion people should draw from this?

…do you think they’re wasting their money when they give millions and millions to both parties?

I mean, yes, but to which party do they give more? You’re essentially saying “follow the money.” Here’s where the money went in 2024. You’ll note that the top eight biggest donors gave to Republicans.

They might serve the same masters, but the masters have favorites and not by accident.

Agreed. But the point they’re making (wittingly or unwittingly) isn’t “they’re both directly and indirectly responsible for the rise of the surveillance state.”

The fundamental point is: “Both parties are the same because of this one issue.” And that position is reductive to the point of being indistinguishable from the positions of centrists and conservatives, both of which often prefer easy-to-digest, broad-stroke politics over wrestling with the nuances.

What a reductive thing to say.

I don’t, and I didn’t think to save it, because it wasn’t a book I was planning to buy (even though I’d like to). What I can tell you is that its a guide to help English speakers know what to look for when buying directly in China (and what to avoid). It’s kind of like a specialized translation guidebook. She was a co-author.

I wish I had saved those comments’ sources, but it took some digging to find them. Apologies to anyone who wants or expects those, but I’m not going to spend time looking again.

Nevertheless, they are out there, and anyone with the drive should be able to find them. I don’t imagine she’s made much other public commentary, since that would put both her and her partner in danger, so I’m not surprised she’s been radio silent since then.

Who, for anyone unaware, is mostly safe at this time.

She was visited by government goons and basically had her entire activism and tech business confiscated, and she said that anyone who wants to support her should purchase the tourist tech-buying guide she’s produced over the years. She also said that any further content on her YouTube should be considered suspect, as she’s not going to be making more videos for the foreseeable future.

ETA: she has also said that she has the ability to leave China, but because her partner can’t, she’s opted to stay, because she’s also a cool human being.

I’ve been on Arch full-time for about two years, and even though I use some similar software, I’ve had to troubleshoot and do things differently from my friends for a while (installing mods manually, adding launch options to certain Steam games, using entirely different software stacks to do the same things). My brain just can’t contain troubleshooting info for both, so the Windows stuff gets lost over time as Widows becomes more buggy and stupid.

Congrats!

What’s this jargle of a URL you posted?

I can’t really help my Windows friends anymore when they need troubleshooting for things like: why their audio channels aren’t working in OBS, or why their config is suddenly corrupted. I used to be able to when I was on Windows, but now I just have to watch helplessly while they struggle to make things work.
