i believe you. also, my great uncle has smoked since he was 13 and he's now 86 and is still alive

seriously, though, if you do everything right, arch is a great system. it is really well put together and very stable all things considered. the problem is the "doing everything right" part. what happened to op is pretty common if you stop reviewing your updates one by one for a week or two. if you're used to that, then arch is perfect. otherwise, it's a chore

arch only works if you think maintaining every detail of a linux system is fun, because you have to constantly know what you're doing and that's a huge commitment. stuff like what the op described is bound to happen if you ever get bored of it and decide not to pay much attention to the system one particular week

yeah, it is pretty fun, i used arch for a long time years ago and i liked it. but it's a huge commitment and you can't ever forget the system exists (which sometimes you need to do if you have a life)

it is

...if you're willing to put in the effort to play linux

this is an arch linux problem, not a rolling-release problem. tumbleweed doesn't have issues like that

debian testing is for testing purposes only. you should never daily drive debian testing (unless you know what you're doing)

also, we're about to get a new debian release (trixie), this is literally the worst time you could choose to daily drive debian testing

arch is for people who want to play linux. if you actually want to use linux, go with something else

can someone summarize the video?

no and no, but they have a ton of potential

this is purely anectodal, but i've tried getting coding help from gen ai a few times and it was never helpful

the last time i tried was particularly ridiculous: i was looking for z-combinator implementations in rust on google and gemini gave me an implementation suggestion. for those who don't know, the z-combinator is an eager variant of the y-combinator and the point of both of those is allowing you to implement recursion without using recursion directly

the code generated by gemini used recursion

and it didn't even compile

i wanna touch on one of the points the article makes: every successful marxist revolution happened outside the core of capitalism. i honestly believe we're never going to see a successful revolution in the 1st world and i don't understand why so many people used to believe a socialist revolution would only be possible in developed countries

for some reason, i have both gnome platform 46 and gnome platform 47 installed in my system. that's probably it

flatpaks are fine and useful, i just wish we didn't move into a scenario where applications that used to be easily available in distro repos start moving away from them and are only available through flatpaks. distro packages are just so much more efficient in every way. flatpaks are easier on maintainers and developers but that comes at a cost to the user. i have about a dozen or less flatpak apps installed and already i have to download at least 2 gigs of updates each week. i run debian

i've seen this story being posted so many times over the years and every time it's such a good read

people are downvoting you, but you're right

take all this with a grain of salt

if you don't need to lose weight immediately for health reasons, focus less on weight loss and more on making healthy habits feel natural

regarding eating, i'd say the following are essential:

• avoid getting hungry
• food should be as tasty as possible. you have to actually like what you're eating
• no forbidden food. do not try to take anything away from your diet
• absolutely NO strict rules in general. they're bad enough for neurotypicals, so they're fatal to us
• introduce healthy food you like. if you can, start with fruits, lots of fruits. fruits are the easiest kind of tasty healthy food
• try to eat on time as much as possible. kind of a corollary of "avoid getting hungry"
• have go-to foods you can eat at each meal/whenever you get hungry without thinking. one of mine is strawberry smoothie
• don't eat anything you don't like. it doesn't matter how healthy it is, if you hate it, it's bad for you. there's plenty of healthy food out there
• give a chance to foods you don't like too much once in a while. maybe you'll end up liking them eventually, maybe not. just try and you'll find out
• above all else, make any of these changes incrementally. the point is building solid habits, not having a solid diet from the get go

any of these follow from: eating is one of the most important things in our life; never make yourself feel bad while trying to get healthy.

good luck

unpopular opinion: firefox copied chrome because the unified bar is simply better. the separate search field always felt like clutter to me even before i used chrome

do we have any idea about how this lawsuit is going?

some deb packages add new repositories to the system, so there's a possibility that just installing a deb package will ensure updates keep coming. if i recall correctly, that's what zoom does
