Reaching for an unproven concept of "drilling really deep holes" that's barely a few years old to convince people there is no problem with long-term storage of dangerous waste we've been accumulating for decades, but sure, I'm just a NIMBY.

And for how long to they have to be "safely stored"? For how long do they have to be buried without anyone digging them up? And where are we burying anyway where there is no risk of anyone digging them up intentionally or accidentally, no risk of natural phenomena interfering, no risk of the barrels breaking and nuclear waste seeping into our water? There is a reason why countries have been struggling to find these safe storage spaces for decades. I'd argue that is because there aren't any.

"Ukraine seems to be fine" is an odd thing to say considering what is going on there in general, but to your point, we can be glad that the fighting around Chernobyl did not do more damage. There's also a difference in strategy when a country attacks their neighbour to annex their land. If they instead want to mess with a country further away, they can just drop some bombs on their nuclear plants and see what happens.

France has not been at war since they started building nuclear plants and has no solid plan for dealing with nuclear waste either from what I can tell.

The number of people who still think nuclear power is a manageable risk in any capacity is really depressing. We still have no idea what to do with all the nuclear waste we're creating even now. And that's not even considering the impact of having a nuclear plant when you're in a war.

I recommend using Newpipe's own fdroid repo. You'll get the updates much faster there when something breaks

As long as your apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) are set to bullseye (and not eg. stable) you won't "accidentally" upgrade to bookworm. At least that's how it works in Debian, I assume raspbian is the same.

Sounds great! Still waiting for the self-hosting option though. Even with e2ee I don't like giving control over my notes out of my hands. And locking things like Tags and Markdown export behind a subscription does not feel like a future-proof solution.

It's not namecalling, it is a term that gets used and that Rochko talked about himself in an interview. There's a footnote.

I've heard good things about Nobara Linux. It's basically Fedora but customised for gaming. It's maintained by GlouriousEggroll, who does a lot for Linux gaming in general. Otherwise I'm using Bazzite on my Steam Deck, which is pretty cool as well. It is a gaming-centric Fedora atomic version. It even comes with the Deck's gaming mode, but only on amd GPUs unfortunately.

I think they should start with decimating the CEO industry

Ah, taking inspiration from what porn sites have been doing for decades to trick you into clicking on ads. Nice work, Google.

Killing status LEDs, then realising that there are people who needed it, and making them use the camera flash on the back of the phone instead isn't great either.

Thanks for the info, as a long-time Nova Launcher user, I was not aware. Good thing I didn't give it any internet access.

I have a faint memory of once uninstalling python2 on an Ubuntu system trying to switch to python3. That was a fun learning moment.

It is rare that you would want to run an entire GUI program as root, and if it is needed, the program should prompt you for it. Do you have a specific use case where you need to do that regularly?

The difference being that on wikipedia you could use the sources on there while AI makes those up as well

I recommend just using the flatpak

Unless you are dangerously close to a non-EU country and can't reliably prevent your phone from connecting to its networks

I've been using it for a while now and I love it. FOSS and pretty and customisable.
