Is this the genesis of British "humour"? Thomas, a Becket, even got the name in the time of Shakespeare.

Waiting for somebody to eviscerate me over British history, cause all I know is Monty Python.

I don't know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won't see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance's users.

I'm less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn't see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won't see it yourself. You'd probably have to block each user individually since I don't think Lemmy has that functionality.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the "quality control" is what I had heard about.

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won't want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it's just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I've also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you're bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there's a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don't have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you're looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you're interested.

He can't ult again for a while, so it's safe for now.

Being the change you want to see in the world. I like it.

4?? Also, the screenshot reminds me of hedgehog launch. Pulled it right out of the recesses of my memory.

I wouldn't say "the cloud" is exactly in the same realm. It's broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it's a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I'm talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren't the only things with money behind them.

It's quite a thing, that could only be a product of the 70s. Might make you go "huh?", and is almost certainly the only context I feel comfortable with the word transvestite today.

To be fair, it's software specifically designed to run digital backups of what's supposed to be personally owned media. It just so happens that it's very easy to obtain a copy otherwise, but there's nothing inherently illegal about it or the games.

Strong arming independent projects, and individual developers especially, that are very careful to not endorse that, effectively holding them accountable for others, is morally questionable at best.

Real talk, I thought he had died, but maybe I just assumed or expected given hospice and the passing of his wife. For some reason I thought her name was Linda Carter, but Lynda Carter was wonder woman, if that says anything of my intelligence...

In any case, I hear triple digits is a big one, and may he not rest in peanuts just yet.
