Manjaro manages to do just about everything wrong for one reason or another. They’re trying to be the Canonical of the Arch ecosystem and they’re not even close to competent enough to pull it off.

I’m sure they’ll find some way to DDOS something with their own telemetry sooner or later.

Anyone want to place bets on how much of their “AI” medical advice was just medical students and low cost doctors overseas answering questions?

The compile times are abusive on older hardware for sure

That’s almost as good as this one I got months back

It’s not that hard, just read the install guides and instructions. My first Arch install was like 8y ago and I expected it to be difficult - it wasn’t.

Friends don’t let friends use Manjaro

Use EndeavourOS or another Arch derivative instead.

You didn’t do that a couple of years ago when Musk decided to push his own posts and right wing content to the top of everyone’s feed? I dropped twatter that same day.

Mastodon works well, tell your twatter refugee friends.

In my experience many of the people who haven’t quit are self medicating for attention or depressive reasons. Of the folks I know who vape about half were diagnosed with ADHD later in life (30+) and quit after finding a stimulant medication that worked for them. The rest are unmedicated and self medicating with nicotine and coffee or energy drinks. Self medicating is overlooked in virtually every discussion about nicotine and I’d like to see it considered more often when the topic comes up instead of just leaping straight to “nicotine use bad” or “nicotine users should be punished” like most discussions do.

Edit: there’s also some interesting research re: nicotine’s neuroprotective properties that gets lost in the prohibition fervor

Finally. Are they actually hiring decent UX folks this time or are they using the people who designed 1980s VCR programming UIs again?

Yeah same. When he started topping my feed despite me blocking him I ejected from his platform and washed my hands of the whole thing.

When I logged in about six weeks after the ownership change my feed included Elon Musk, Andrew Tate and 2-3 other right wing influencers. I follow none of these people, I have zero interest in what they have to say and I find them reprehensible. I deleted my account and haven’t used the platform since.

If only they had a safe place to put their money that was protected by law and insured against losses.

Pearson is trying really fucking hard to write that out of the public consciousness. I took an econ 101 class about 12y ago for funsies and the section of the course on copyright insisted that “the rights of copyright owners” were absolute with no exemptions.

The DMCA is just the icing on top of the 95-120y “work for hire” copyright duration shit cake.
