Which presupposes the existence of anything worth pirating

CachyOS automatically does bootable BTRFS snapshots with every update. I don’t really see any advantage of atomic distros over this.

This entire situation is just pure MAGA PR BS. Trying to pass these refunds back to consumers is extremely impractical, bordering on logistically impossible, and managing it would certainly cost more money than the amount of the actual refund.

They knew these tariffs would be passed on to consumers when they created them in the first place. In both cases, it’s Trump trying to deflect the blame onto these companies for a situation that he created.

It’s literally just picking which snapshot you want to boot in the boot loader and then accepting the prompt to make that one the new default after you’ve verified it works. It’s not possible for old binaries to be running.

It’s a little more effort to maintain compared to something like nix, but Arch (including CachyOS) doesn’t have the same config drift problem as distros like Debian, because it has pacdiff to let you consolidate any updated defaults with your own settings.

CachyOS does this just fine with bootable BTRFS snapshots before and after each update, without forcing me to use Flatpaks that don’t support all of the features of the normal apps or else break the immutability. For example, it’s not possible to get all Discord features working in Flatpak (even with tinkering) due to inherent limitations of Flatpak.

They were sued because of patents (which are also BS), not copyright.

Roku still exists?

AUR is still working as intended. It’s basically a public wiki of shell scripts, it was never intended to be secure in the first place. It has always been the user’s responsibility to review everything or avoid using it.

I’ve been accidentally boycotting Xbox for the past 20 years because they never had anything appealing in the first place.

They’ve already said there won’t be a sub fee.

Don’t fight… you both suck equally.

Miss me with this “slippery slope” BS.
Having a standardized place to store the DOB is a good thing and it should have been there even before these laws.
And if some users want to comply with those laws, then they should have a way to do it.
If anybody actually tries to make this a hard requirement (which isn’t going to happen), then you can bitch about it at that time.

Yes, right next to the fields for your full name and address, all of which are optional. It’s a total nothingburger.

Some “cards” are NFC-only

These kind of exploits have always been common. The only thing that changed is people talking about them.
