That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I've found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It's so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think it depends on your definition of positive.

In the short-term I think there will be some economic benefits. Long-term not so much.

But for positive effects that's about all I've got.

The political climate will become more divisive.

Red states will enact more regressive policies driving left-leaning voters out, while attracting large businesses into those states with economic incentives. Which will cause blue states to lose jobs.

The Democrat party will be pushed further to the right as they try to court the needed electoral college votes from red states, leaving their actual voter base feeling less and less represented and driving resentment from the left.

All of which will eventually set the stage for a second American civil war within the next couple of decades. Though that assumes we don't blunder our way into WW3 by antagonizing China with a trade war when they've already indicated that they intend to start militarily enforcing their One China policies. A protracted trade war with the US would potentially force their hand. If that happens we will be forced to defend our allies in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China has enough allies and is economically powerful enough that such a conflict could rapidly balloon into a world war. Which would likely stave off an American civil war for at least a few additional decades.

I think we're watching the culmination of nearly a century of shortsighted, reactive policies enacted by greedy people that have progressively escalated in a way that you could almost mistake for a long term plan. I don't think any of this will end well and I think the new administration is in a position to make things significantly worse for a great many people and fully intends to do so. Nothing good will come of this.

Yeah, there was a great video on YouTube I saw a few days ago that went over why Sony is backing Pocket Pair, why Nintendo is making this case about patents, why that's a massive risk for Nintendo, and why Nintendo is willing to take that risk.

It largely seemed to come down to the Nintndo-Sony rivalry that started when Nintendo backed out of the SNES era deal to create the PlayStation. Nintendo is trying to crush Sony's potentially viable competitor to their largest franchise and are making the case a patent case because that's the only route they can pursue. If they lose, Nintendo stands to lose those patents.

The video in question

That looks useful, I might host that. Does anyone have an RSS feed of at risk data?

GrapheneOS has the option for a scheduled reboot if the phone hasn't been unlocked for a configurable amount of time.

Move to Alaska. We need more left-leaning people. We're already starting to go purple and our population is so low that it probably won't take much to get us to go solidly blue.

Plus, you won't have to wait for a massive earthquake to separate you from the rest of the country. Canada will do that.

Of course it does. Does it use electricity? Then it can run Doom. It will run Doom. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Doom is inevitable.

Damn, time travelers.

Anyone else think it's high time we reform timefleet? It seems to be full of incompetents ever since Daniels retired to Cronenberging in the 31st century.

I think it technically would be copyright, it's his likeness that the scumbag is using without permission.
