midnight

Points for zombies:

The isolation and dread caused by the entire world turning into flesh hungry monsters, including family and friends

The body horror of being bit and inevitably losing control of your mind and having your body decay (also you can perhaps hide your infection from the rest of the group?)

There are always more, they never stop. Basically turning human persistance hunting against ourselves

Also they just make a good excuse for an apocalypse, with humanoid things to shoot

I think you’re missing their point, they weren’t saying that Blender is cad, it’s just a good comparison, as a successful piece of software in the the same broad, general category (3D modeling)

We want what Blender is to mesh modeling, rendering, etc, but for parametric cad, manufacturing, etc. Basically Fusion 360 but open source, without any of Autodesk’s bs. Ideally it would even work together with Blender for rendering.

Arch is great if you want to customize your system, but I wouldn’t say it really needs “maintaining” beyond just updating more frequently. (which you don’t even really need to do very often, you just have the option to get newer versions of software.)

Have you tried rolling back the affected packages from the main repo?

So you’re saying that corpses make copses?

Not a useful skill, but you could try speedcubing

Yeah I would say you might as well just go with mint then. Debian based distros are popular for a reason.

EndeavourOS is really probably the best overall option though, as you have the best software availability, but if you’re not comfortable using the terminal, I might avoid it. (Although I will say that package management with yay is super easy, just yay [packagename] to search and install interactively. Also to update your system just alias yay -Syu to “update” if you have trouble remembering the right flags. I’d really recommend learning to use the terminal regardless of distro, though.)

First of all, it’s perfectly viable to just not eat meat. Tons of people don’t eat meat and are perfectly healthy.

If you need meat replacements, (which is for taste, let’s be clear) there are a TON of good substitutes, for example Beyond.

Also to your previous point, food waste is a big problem, but thermodynamically, meat IS food waste. Only a fraction of the energy of animal feed is present in the meat, which is super resource intensive and environmentally terrible (not to mention all the methane produced)

So what?? Why do chromosomes matter at all? Gender ≠ sex. Anyone is allowed to identify however they want, and it literally hurts nobody.

However, trans people do actually have brain structures that mismatch their assigned sex at birth. Also, most differences of sex are just caused by hormones, so HRT really does meaningfully change someone’s sex.
You should also know that human biology is not so clean cut. Intersex people exist, and for example there are people born female with a Y chromosome.

I see where you’re coming from, but there kinda is, as anyone who has experienced gender dysphoria can tell you.

HRT really does alter biological sex in a meaningful way, and I think a lot of people view medical transition as making the body fit the mind better.

If the many worlds interpretation is correct, that would mean that there’s not really an infinite number of discrete realities, but more of a continuum. So there are infinite other realities in the same way that there are infinite points on a line, but this exact reality is still unique.

No it won’t. The beauty of Linux is that it can transform completely to fit your needs.

Making Linux more noob friendly isn’t going to take away my custom terminal-centric tiling wm arch install.

More users = more developers = more options. Linux is already awesome, but growing will only bring more good.

There are quantized versions on hugging face. There’s a q2 version, but idk how well that performs

ViMusic - ad free music streaming
TrackerControl - view and block app trackers
LibreTube - ad free youtube client
Termux - Terminal

There are also plenty of replacements for builtin apps like camera, gallery, maps, etc, although I personally haven’t made that jump yet as there are some missing quality of life features.

Also a racist slur in there.

I agree that some sort of decentralized model repository would be awesome, but ollama works with local files too, so I’m not too worried about it. I’ve used many LLM backends, and ollama is my favorite so far, but given how fast everything is moving, that could change in the future.

I don’t think anyone underestimates Linux Mint. It’s pretty widely considered one of the best distros out there.

Those of us who choose Arch do so for the software selection, and because we like tweaking the os :)

If you want to try something else, you can always just install and try it out, while keeping plasma installed. That way you don’t need to worry about setting everything up in one go.

Tiling wms are pretty awesome (i3 is my daily), but they do require some setup and customization. You can always use someone else’s dotfiles as a starting point though.

Use what you prefer, that’s a big part of what makes linux great. I get not wanting to go through the learning curve.

That being said, vim is pretty amazing to use, and super efficient, especially with some nice nvim plugins and customization.

No libs on my system, only leftists allowed 😤😤😤
