Finally! Thank you. Makes lots of sense. I’ve fucked up at least two systems in my life by messing with drivers/settings when I didn’t know what I was doing. That would have certainly helped. I’ll have to check it bazzite. I game too through Steam/Proton and it’s not exactly a 100% match in terms of performance when compared to Windows.

Okay, I get what an immutable distro is. I get it’s advantages in security/safety. But can someone please explain why this matters? Like, how much safer is this really? I don’t understand the cost/benefit ratio of having an immutable core, especially since compromising the core will probably require fully compromising one or more privileged processes first, at which point it would be game over for a mutable distro as well.

I think it’s unlikely you can donate without any conversions…

Yeah haha I didn’t write this well. What I’m trying to say is that where you have socialized healthcare people are way less likely to agree with the idea that you’re free to not wear a helmet. I just worded that poorly.

But what about the reverse argument?

The elders know much more than the young generation, shouldn’t they have a larger say?

Basically, Japan is the most developed nation on earth. Not because of technology, or culture, or anything of the sort. But they were the first developed nation to have their birth rate drop and pyramid start shrinking. In that sense, their policies are ahead of every country on earth that still keeps admitting massive amounts of immigrants to keep their populations up.

I’ve always thought that regular expressions are just specifications for state machines. They aren’t that difficult.

Hot take! 👨‍🚒

I feel like the problem with this argument is that it’s consequentialist. You can never be 100% certain which parents will raise their children well. There’s no metric that will conclusively tell you.

I think this depends on where you live. If you live in the US, maybe. Private healthcare means the effects on the public are limited to traumatizing people, the services to dispose of your body, and EMS.

In area with socialized healthcare, ain’t no way my taxpayer dollars are going towards fixing your head if you crash.

Hot take, but I think the Model Y/Late Model 3 were really well engineered.
