  • I'm not subjecting anyone to anything. I acknowledged that this practice is risky, however these scripts are maintained by a community of other nerds just like every other open source project you enjoy. If you're going to use these proceed with the same caution you would anything else on the internet, but in my experience they are safe.

  • OP is talking about dreading major kernel updates because shit might break. I'm not talking about tinkering (though I'd argue against that point too, btrfs and timeshift exist).

    Arch updates so often I barely even notice a kernel update; I'm certainly not dreading it.

    Also side point, super huge updates on arch are normally an indication that you didn't perform a full system update in a while. If things are going to break it's when you dont perform regular system maintenance.

  • No personal experience with Fedora but if that'd been your experience why not shift to Arch (btw) or something similar. Been daily driving for 3~4 years, super stable and always on latest releases.

  • The issue with moderation is how it requires a rational actor to, well, moderate use or a behavior. At some point during a persons "addiction" the ability to execute control over those behaviors lessens until it eventually breaks. The time table on this varries and for some they may be able to stick to whatever rules they set, however if you ask anyone whose been in this position they would tell you how often their thoughts / emotions were consumed by a phenomenon called craving.

    Everything everyone said about each person being different is valid, but by and large, the best way to minimize negative impacts of whatever "addiction" we are talking about (process or substance) is to cease completely.

  • Unpopular opinion: you can absolutely use Q tips if your ear canals are wider and you don't just jam it in.

    What I do is start at the entrance and twist as I go in and again as it's coming out. My primary care has never found anything wrong with my ears.

  • I used a slight appeal to authority to highlight the ridiculousness of the initial argument. I'm not typing out a million different nuances / hedging everything I say.

    Multiple things can be true at same time. I can acknowledge that a sitting senator obviously has some idea of what is / is not effective in terms of when / when not to filibuster while not bowing to the institution itself. Sorry I didn't add three extra paragraphs about how despite being a US senator.... Yada yada yada.

  • I show no submission to authority. The point of my post, which was meant to be a jab at the armchair politicians / optics gurus / 4d strategists in this chain who were arguing over the effectiveness of starting at 7pm.

  • Dude, we all certainly understand this less than a sitting senator. Get off it.

    Maybe 7pm is significant, maybe it isn't, but we are sitting here from our toilets still wiping the sleep from our eyes while this guy is giving a speech for 12 hours. Can we stop pretending we have any clue?
