I'm not deaf, but just in case you don't get an answer that stems from personal experience:

Your hearing loss in the one ear is (I'm assuming) caused by the ear canal being blocked. Your sensory organ still hears you chewing because the sound is transferred through the bones of your skull to your ear.

A deaf person has a different problem: their sensory organ is damaged or missing, so it doesn't matter where the sound comes from, they don't hear it.

The cannabis plant when left to itself doesn't create much THC (which is what gets you high), but it is very useful for making rope and clothing, as well as oil and other products. Only when you make sure that you only have female plants (and take care of them in a certain way) do they produce lots of THC.

So just because the plant is growing somewhere doesn't mean that someone is smoking it.

That's a good point.

I agree that that solves some problems, 100%. But I've seen the downward slide of society take hard-fought civil rights away for several decades now. It's never a sudden process, it always starts small and then slowly grows.

This is just the beginning, and it should be fought against with tooth and nail now, not just postponed so that we have to deal with this issue once the fascists already have some momentum.

That does nothing to address the issue. What happens when the requirement is adopted elsewhere? Just keep excluding territories?

It seems like a simple fix, but this would play right into the hands of the corporate overlords. And California is not some tiny state.

If California were an independent nation, it would rank as the fourth largest economy in the world in nominal terms, behind Germany and ahead of Japan.

Thanks for sharing. I'm too paranoid, as I have very little free time to fix stuff if it breaks. Still good to know.

Yes, that's exactly how RPM works. it's supposed to be a last resort if options like distrobox or homebrew can't deliver what you need. It can break stuff if you are not careful.

Anyway, then I'd definitely go with silverblue.

Silverblue is what I'm putting on my partner's older PC, the fact that it atomic is a big plus-point.

Be warned though, some less common non-cli packages are more difficult to install. If your SO needs something along those lines, mint may be better.

For example, nordVPN has a nice GUI interface, but it has no appimage or flatpak, so it won't work on silverblue without modifying the ostree. That's not a good idea, so on my (bazzite) PC I have installed a simple openVPN GUI package, and set it up to use our nordVPN account. It works fine, but it's not a pretty map-based interface, just a giant list of servers.

Personal Taste โ‰  Bigotry

It is ridiculous to think that anyone has to like or prefer something. That's like saying there is something wrong for not liking the taste of licorice. If she thinks two girls kissing is gross, that's fine, she is allowed to feel how she feels. If she thinks that two girls kissing is wrong on some moral or ethical level she is being a bigot.

There is a huge difference there, and it is extremely important in today's world to understand this difference.

You should try this out. I haven't tried it myself, but I've been meaning to.

Well that's certainly a big plus point.
