Sadly I kept it private because it exposes a bit of my company's network structure (with encrypted secrets, but still...) :/
It's not the best experience though : the pencil doesn't work as well as in Fedora (GNOME doesn't detect tablet mode, which only seems to affect buttons behavior) and it recompiles the kernel everytime it needs to be updated (very often, so I pinned a version).
I'd say arch is a great distro if you love to tinker a lot and/or want to learn a lot about the Linux ecosystem. If you don't recognize yourself in previous sentence I'd probably stick with fedora đ€·
I recall that the Rust book is awesome, it should cover everything essential! I don't know the other two, but rustlings probably follows the same path and might be a good sidecar for exercising :)
It also has the best learning resources I've ever found for a programing language, which are free BTW.
I've tried to found a Python course for a friend (paid or not), and I couldn't find anything that looked close to the quality of the Rust book. Some paid online courses have to be awesome but they are all paywalled before the first relevant chapter đ€·
I moved to NixOS this year and it really felt like something new. You need to learn a little functional language for configuration (nix) and can manage your whole computer on a descriptive and reproducible way.
There is also an awesome side effect : packages (and OS configurations) are built the same way as you build your configuration. For me, it meant that it was the first time it was obvious how my distribution works and how I could contribute. It took me about one hour to submit my first ever PR to update a package : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/290710
Also note that you can experience nix (the package manager) on any distro, if you want a safe try you could for example have fun with home-manager to handle your dotfiles.
A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.
Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.
Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It's very easy to pile a ton of them and it's much harder to attack you about any of them because they're much less consequent.
So in that view, a bullshitter doesn't give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more "noble". 0
You don't need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.
According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi's symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).
But yeah, I'm not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn't have believed you...
Yeah I think the "you" in "help you navigate [...]" is the key but it is way too broad. I had a quick look to the privacy notice and it seems quite reasonable. For each feature they either :
Isn't it about a web engine being roughly 60MB? đ
