Bilb!

Anti-intellectualism seems to be resurgent in recent years. Its the worst I’ve seen since the Bush 2 era, and it’s all pevasive.

Good

At the same time, anything too low will be suspicious or unrealistic.

Right, and for me personally that’s fine. I respect that others have different requirements or desires in that regard.

You might already know this, but you can use a Kagi without logging in on private tabs using a “session link” that looks like https://kagi.com/search?token=[LONG TOKEN HERE]. (Of course, this session link is not perfectly anonymous because the token is presumably tied to your account.)

I’m posting this comment with it right now. Many graphics on the lemmy ui are not rendering, but it’s way better than the last time I tried it about a year ago. So not “ready,” but encouraging.

No, they aren’t.

I’m also having a mostly good experience with the same GPU using Aurora. One small issue I noticed is that certain context menus in steam appear corrupted sometimes. Have had no problem with games themselves.

I use Aurora DX instead which has the same Universal Blue core as Bazzite. I’ll echo what you say about distrobox- its fantastic once you realize how capable it is. You can set up a container for each development environment you need and never worry about conflicts or anything like that. Install SDKs, editors, IDEs, etc. and as you say, just run them as if they were on the host OS. Your container can be based on Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, and many more- so choose whatever you’re most comfortable with and just get to work. Aurora DX also comes with brew setup which can provide a lot of packages to run on the host as well, but I don’t often feel the need to do so.

I do wish I could add certain features of Bazzite to Aurora, like the gamescope session and the ujust waydroid script.

Trolling should be more subtle

Are pop culture references theft? No.

Keep a journal. Every day just jot down how you’re feeling and what’s on your mind, what you plan to do/did. Its amazing how helpful this has been for me.

Don’t drink alcohol. It’s not good for you in any amount.

In addition to that person, you should also know about me. I’m awesome!

I’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

If it makes you feel any better, this happens in the UK, too.

That did make me feel better, thanks! 😃

I’m betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

you’re

You probably could, but you’d have the taste of citric acid (which is not awful) and baking soda in the water. The Spärkel has the water that activates the reaction in a separate chamber so they don’t wind up in your drink. You need to change that water every four or five times you use it.

I use a “Spärkel” carbonator. Instead of CO2 canisters, it uses packets of citric acid and baking soda to generate CO2 and uses a compressor to infuse the liquid.

Pros:

• You can either use their pre-measured packets if that’s convenient for you, or do what I do and just buy a bulk amount of both the citric acid and baking soda.
• You can carbonate pretty much any liquid. Water, wine, flat soda, mixed drinks, you name it. The sodastream will explode and cause a huge mess if you try to carbonate anything besides water.
• They don’t appear to be Israeli.

Cons:

• Because it uses a compressor, it needs to be plugged in to operate. It’s pretty loud too!
• It takes longer than a sodastream. While a sodastream is almost instant, this will take 1-3 minutes depending on the level of carbonation you desire.
