Would be nice if they shipped a Flatpak, would cover a lot more distributions that way.

My newbie recommendation is https://bazzite.gg/. It ships a very simple GUI package manager and the system silently updates in the background. It's also atomic, so rollbacks are easy and destroying the system is hard. It's not a separate distro per-se but a layer atop Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite (you can re-base to/from them without a reinstall).

It's been my daily driver for ~2 years.

The Cachy/Arch approach is more flexible, I'm fine with atomic since containerized workflows are my preference.

Best of luck, if you do end up needing your gallbladder removed (they don't just remove the stones) it's a pretty simple procedure. I was out of the hospital after a few hours. No negative effects, and I don't need to worry about that happening to me again.

As the other commenter said, the gallbladder and the pancreas both share a duct, and if the stone is low enough you get pancreatitis from a gallstone. I was just that lucky.

As an occasional visitor, the city seems a lot cleaner and safer this year (I went last month) than the last times I visited in 2024 and 2019.

I got pancreatitis from Zepbound, but it was indirect.

Turns out rapid weight loss can cause gallstones, especially if you're genetically predisposed to them. I had one that ended up stuck in the bile duct, causing acute pancreatitis. I had to get my gallbladder removed shortly after and hundreds of stones were found.

I would consider getting an ultrasound since the stones don't just go away when you stop taking the drug.

(Gallbladder removal aside I had no lasting issues and kept the weight off.)

Confabulations

This has been the case with every Rockstar game since GTA 3, and it works for them. It sells a ton on consoles, piracy is severely limited, still sells wildly on PC, and lets them "double dip" on sales because some people will buy it twice.

Godot 3.x supports C# on the web because it uses Mono.

Godot 4.x migrated to CoreCLR since Mono is a dead end, but Microsoft insists on .NET being the entrypoint in a WASM build. MS initially promised support for .NET being invoked by something else but dropped the feature, leaving Godot stranded. The current proposal is to make Godot a library (libgodot) invoked by .NET.

I drive an SUV. It's convenient!

A Ford F150 is fucking ridiculous in comparison, and larger than any truck I remember seeing growing up, and there's people with F350s for personal use.

One of them ran over and killed a kid outside a nearby children's museum. Those things are not safe.

This might explain why I like it, my first computer ran System 7.5 so I have fond memories of Classic Mac OS.

Its their reluctance to support a system tray and hide background application info behind a "control center"-esque widget and then a picture of a ghost that boggles my mind.

Firefox already lost the browser wars. It's about 2%. Saying "you can use uBlock Origin instead of uBlock Origin Lite!" won't change this.

I switched from GNOME to KDE around the time 6.0 shipped, and I've been very happy with it. GNOME aims to be Mac-like but in my experience makes a lot of weird decisions. I've been on GNOME since 1.4 (2001?)

I had such a great time with KDE, and decided to promote it from just being on my "Linux PC" to all computers I own. I don't run Windows anymore, which is a nice feeling!

> That’s a terrible way to create AI regulations

This administration doesn't do regulations, its extortion. Same as the tariffs. Just grease someone's palm and then the vague restriction is lifted.

Part of me thinks fault lies with Anthropic for scaremongering, part has zero faith in the current administration especially after the "supply chain risk" designation.

It may be safer to just move the company to Canada.

If I want to buy a small NAS that just runs Nextcloud and has a copy of my Google Photos library - what do I go with?

I don't have a ton of space so something that fits in the media center.

Firefox has around 2% share, it hasn't been a viable competitor for a long time.

Great Sky Solar, they're a small local company and I had a great experience with them.

I installed a solar system at my home in Massachusetts for 17k last year (after tax credits), 7.82 kw.

So far it's covered about 70% of my usage and 5.7 Mwh. I don't have a full year of data yet so I expect that number to grow as it includes the summer months. I drive an EV and this includes the car.

I really miss, as a late 90's/early 2000's apple fan, seeing Steve come up and joke with the audience then just show off real products or features and why they're cool. They really sterilized this whole thing after he passed. It's as exciting as a Microsoft keynote now.

Just watch a normal presentation like Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3, it's not iPhone level earth shattering but he made it fun.

It's not clear how that was violated, since they're handing out an article from the ADA's own journal.

I've been running GitLab internally on k8s for 6 years, it handles code, CI, security scans, build artifacts, helm charts, etc. It runs a nightly backup to a GCS bucket.

Monthly upgrades are painless. Once a year the major versions (18 to 19, for example) bump external dependencies and we need about an hour on it.

I've been using GitHub for other projects and for the life of me I can't see a single area where its better. Actions is worse without versioned and self documenting components, there's no concept of a project hierarchy or inherited permissions, even simple things like setting up deploy keys are more annoying than they need to be.

I can't speak for GitLab.com - I've never used it.

Where did everyone end up on the Redis/Valkey split? Is there still a reason to use Redis after the license kerfuffle?

They didn't launch outside of Japan until late 1995, so most people got one in '96.

We got my daughter a Yoto and it's a great device. She sticks a card in and it plays music or an audiobook. There's a "screen" but it's a low resolution pixel grid that shows pixel art of the current track.

O'Brien didn't say this, the article is about Ronny Chieng.

My Mom (70s, retired special ed teacher) got the family on Signal and it's a breeze to do video calls or send pictures/messages to people.

They occasionally have a donation popup but it's one of the easiest and least intrusive programs I've ever used, and it just works.

The "normie" market doesn't pay for enterprise features though. They might cost more in inference then they make back from advertising.

But right now we have games that you have purchased for a one-time price, the developer revokes your ability to play it years later, and you have no recourse.
