and it happens exactly as the people whose claim is being denied with “slippery slope” fallacy said

But this is the crux of the fallacy. What evidence is anyone providing that there is indeed an insidious chain of events we are enabling by adding the birthdate field? Are there examples of cases similar to this in history?

EDIT: I can tell people are getting emotional about this because I’m being down voted for just asking a question that elaborates the point someone is making.

This just makes me realize that my TI Nspire calculator probably violates this law.

RAM was the last thing on my mind when I switched to a tiling WM.

I thought part of the philosophy of solarpunk was finding ways to use technology in harmony with nature. That seemed like a big theme of Scavengers Reign to me.

Does Scavengers Reign count as solarpunk?

Same as demon. Because my research indicates that this usage was originally a reference to Maxwell’s demon.

I thought it was a reference to Maxwell’s demon.

Daemons in computing, generally processes that run on servers to respond to users, are named for Maxwell’s demon.

Kids don’t speak it.

Yeah so at worst you could get sued by some random reddit users that don’t want their post history hosted on your site.

Given how little traction artists and authors have had with suing AI companies for blatant copyright infringement, I kinda doubt it would go anywhere.

Less than $100 is tricky, but I’ve been meeting all your criteria with a Beelink EQ14. I also use it as my router.

Yes, and I appreciate that you pressed the issue because I never heard what ultimately transpired, since I never really cared for the channel before that. But I see they hired a 3rd party to investigate and the conclusion was that none of the allegations were substantiated. Though I haven’t found any mention of a further response from the employee that made the allegations.

I don’t think there is even a default DE. I think the graphical installer lets you choose GNOME, Plasma, or none.

NixOS “ships with” whatever exists in nixpkgs. So you could read this as “nixpkgs channel 25.11 ships GNOME 49”.

And you can see that is true, here: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=25.11&show=gnome-shell&query=gnome-shell

I’m more concerned about the sexual harassment.

Linux is broad and deep so it would help if you gave some examples of tasks you are failing to do.

Edit: I guess I can give some fundamental topics for your search, but I don’t have many resources at the ready.

For starters, many topics will apply to all of Unix, not just Linux. So make sure you understand the difference, and learn about the Unix philosophy.

Also, I think the most useful piece of documentation is the Arch Wiki. I’d always check here first. The table of contents should give you a good idea of the scope of information.

1. Filesystems. In Unix, everything is a “file”. Explore the directory layout. Maybe learn about the FHS (filesystem hierarchy standard) and XDG. Learn how file permissions and ownership work. Learn about disk encryption with LUKS. Learn about GPT partitioning and EFI boot partitions. If you want to manage a filesystem spanning many storage devices, I highly recommend looking into ZFS. You might also want to set up some kind of file service like NFS or something with a web client like copyparty or dufs. Try out the dust and duf tools for checking space usage.
2. Networking. I don’t know how deep you need to go here, but Linux networking is highly customizable. I think most distros use systemd’s built-in DHCP client in systemd-networkd. Have a look at nftables if you want to mess with firewalls. Wireguard for VPN. Learn to use the ip tool.
3. Remote Access. Especially for a desktop, it’s very useful to set up an SSH service on your PC so you can access it remotely from e.g. a laptop. You can even SSH over the public Internet using a VPN.
4. Monitoring. Install BTop to get a quick overview of system activity and resource utilization. I also like the procs tool as an alternative to ps.
5. Shells. As part of your Bash journey, I’d also check out shells like fish, zsh, and nushell.
6. Package Management. I’m not very familiar with Bazzite’s package manager. It’s an immutable distro, so that will make a difference. Read the bazzite docs for this I guess. You’ll probably need to learn about flatpaks. I’d recommend checking out Nix if you want to try something different. I also quite enjoyed Arch’s pacman if you’re willing to try a new distro like CachyOS or EndeavourOS.
7. Dotfile management. I recommend learning some basic Git or Jujutsu (jj) and managing your configuration files in a git repository. You can also do this with Nix via Home Manager.
8. Desktop Environment. I don’t know which variant of Bazzite you chose, but it’s probably a complete DE out of the box. Just know that you can customize your DE quite a bit. I personally enjoy tiling window managers; you might want to check those out.

If your health check is broken, then you might not notice that a service is down and you’ll fail to deploy a replacement. Or the opposite, and you end up constantly replacing it, creating a “flapping” service.

I doubt he actually believes that. He’s just using that rhetoric to get Christians on board.

You can use both.

Pretty sure my journey looked something like:

1. Ubuntu for a while
2. A furious bout of hopping experiments: Debian, ElementaryOS, Crunchbang, MX Linux, Fedora
3. Arch for a bit, but it was too much struggle
4. Ubuntu for a while, embracing the “vanilla” lifestyle
5. Manjaro for a while. It seemed to solve my previous issues with vanilla Arch.
6. EndeavourOS, basically a better Manjaro.
7. NixOS, which had a significant learning curve but ultimately gives me the most control and repeatability for all of my machine configs. Still daily driving this on my desktop, router, and some web servers.
8. Tried out Fedora Atomic on my old laptop out of curiosity. Installing packages was ultra slow. Workflows were too annoying.

So I think the graph is actually pretty reflective of my own experience, aside from some of the specific distro choices during my peak ignorance phase, and obviously I ended up at NixOS which isn’t even on here.
