Work in an industry that uses raw RE oxides to produce medical equipment.

We are fucking toast if these tariffs and restrictions are kept.

You literally can’t get some of these REs anywhere else in the world as in the natural abundance is literally only in china.

What you said is correct I imagine but some of the REs are utilized in a raw format in us based plants.

Most first-world-problem shit I’ve ever heard.

Yeah I shouldn’t criticize my paid service because there are bigger problems out there

Yeah I despise LLMs ( really they are fine what I actually hate is how much it’s getting shoved into things) but I won’t act like they don’t have any use cases. It’s a bit obstinate to act like they have no use.

I dunno why you’re getting down voted, this is the world as it is unfortunately.

I mean didn’t Schumer just bow to the Trump admin to get their budget passed? I don’t know about everyone else but I see most dems talk a big game but when it comes down to actions I just don’t see them following though.

I would like to caveat this with, I did vote and I voted blue across the board( even though few dems on my ballot were actually progressive). I’m not saying both sides are the exact same but in my mind the decisions the DNC made up to this point are part of the variables on how we got here. Ex: if Hilary wasn’t hamfisted in in 2016 maybe we wouldn’t be in the worst time line, and that’s the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

Good, fuckin hit us where it hurts (money) and show dipshit why you don’t start tariff wars.

Was he the one caught smoking crack?

Am chemist can confirm, I would look at a coworker real funny if they said un-ionized

So I’m newer to Linux as a whole so some of this maybe a bit off but:

Immutable distros big difference is you can’t mess with the root partition ( you can there are just more steps involved), it’s read only. The advantage to this is it’s harder to fuck up your system, and it’s described as more secure. The downside is if you need a program that isn’t available in a flatpack, snap, or app image it’s a pain in the ass. Bazzite ships with distrobox which essential allows you to run a different distro in a container to use programs available to that distro, ex: you can run the Debian version of Firefox on a fedora system. Not all issues can be avoided with this, compiling code for instance is still a nightmare with distrobox

Now the good things: no live updates so an update won’t get messed up from a live install The system will update in the background and then when you fire it up next time THEN you are in the updated version. Bazzite is atomic specifically (an immutable subset) that applies updates all at once or not at all if it fails, you can also always roll back to a previous version at the GRUB menu. After it updates to the new image it then applies the local personal layers, so every update it kinda like starting with a fresh install

The main thing to look for is that any apps you want to use are supported in a flakpack, if all you are doing is gaming then you shouldn’t have to worry, both lutris and steam come with bazzite

Here is a link to a Lemmy post with community opinions on immutable distros

Dude bazzite is the shit, I have it installed for my gaming PC. I don’t think I will use a mutable distro for a gaming rig again

I had a point in here somewhere but I’m so tired i lost it so feel free use your imagination

Fuck I feel this, I have to delete comments halfway through writing them sometimes because I meandered too far from the original point and forgot was I was trying to say

Trump lies every time he speaks, it’s the expectation and he met it. That’s not news. Biden showed up looking like he was on death’s door when he hadn’t before, that is news.

It’s not right wing narrative. After I watched the debate I was pissed and felt like the Biden administration had hid the fact that Biden isn’t in a condition to be president because that’s what happened.

Trump didn’t have any coherent answers but you could at least hear him

The system is really bad but you should also factor in the price while searching for schools, I went to a state University, one of the minor ones, and tuition was under 10k/year. So your son paid more for 1 year than I did for my entire degree by almost a factor of 2. Some universities are way more expensive than others. I got a STEM degree and was employed 2 months after I graduated, with a very prestigious research position. So it’s not like going to a shitter on paper school had an impact on me personally.

Yeah as another one of the youngest millennial (or the oldest gen Z depending on which year you classify the generational turn-over) I’ve never really understood the whole millennials are offended trope.

I grew up watching south park, family guy, ATHF, honestly pretty much everything on adult swim or comedy Central. There isn’t much that offends me except glorifying ultra wealth, and that isn’t offensive, it pisses me off personally.

All of my friends are the same way, honestly they are mostly more offensive than me even.

There has been exactly 1 millennial I know of that has shit takes like this and he’s 2-3 years older than me. That’s it 1 even though college, of course these articles aren’t written to be accurate, it’s just rage bait.

Can I please be seated anywhere else

Keppa is a bit better imo. A lot of price history goes back pre covid (not like it matters I just find it interesting to see), camelcamelcamel doesn’t. IIRC had something to do with Amazon making them

I do partially agree with your sentiment but the biggest issue is the Democratic party itself.

In my mind if they hadn’t ham fisted Hilary in '16 none of this would have happened in the first place and that’s only the tip of the iceberg of that parties failings.

Attention everyone there was a major US election that took place 2 days ago resulting in Trump winning

If you get on social media for the next month (probably more) you are going to see politics unless you filter it out or get off social media

Living in a red state this is how I thought of it, even if my vote is wasted at least maybe the world can see a majority (even if it’s slight) of Americans voted against trump numerically even if he wins.

saying “It’s a piece of cake” is the reason she falls down

Holy shit is that the reason why Jareth gets so pissy when Sarah says it again down in the tunnels and sends in the cleaners?
