This is not true, I desnapped my Ubuntu and pinned Firefox to use the repo. You can do that for any software to force Ubuntu not to install snap.

That's the problem with the Ubuntu model. I'm using stable Wine with other unstable packages in NixOS because I can. I don't have to choose a version, since dependencies are not installed globally

I want my framework laptop, and I'm considering waiting for a faster RDNA 3 mobile chip. They are currently all powered limited rx 7600 chips

No, fuck red hat, use something else.

Using snap is your own fault. I only use it for command line applications. You use some ancient Ubuntu 20 LTS...

NixOS doesn't lose in features to Mac, and the store is actually larger, there are only like 10K apps for Mac

Yes, but the 4090 is the "best" GPU with only minor trade-offs (DP 2.1 support?)

Monitors don't yet have an ultimate "highest res, refresh, brightness, contrast, color volume" champion. If they made a 240Hz 4K QD-OLED it would come close, but it wouldn't be as bright as the best Mini-LEDs, have burn-in, weird pixel positioning (but at 4K you can just use monochromatic AA for text)

The ultimate monitor might have to be Nano-LED, with self-emissive quantum dots. But we won't see those until at least 2025, or maybe even later

I don't like the naming. Mobile 7600 XT is also an underclocked 7600 but at a higher TDP.

I don't get what a "best monitor" is supposed to be. They have six different categories themselves, and there's also pricing. The "best" they listed sucks at HDR gaming and costs $550. In my opinion, if you're going to have a "best" category it's gotta be the Samsung 240Hz 4K monitor, but they mentioned issues with it

So currently, there's no "best" monitor. They all have trade-offs.

Needlessly reductionist, but also wrong. If your code is proven to work (like, machine verified), and you use a compiler that is also verified to generate correct code, then that code is secure.

I upgraded Ubuntu 20 LTS to Ubuntu 22 LTS in place and it broke everything including the Wifi drivers. Left with a black command line with no Internet, so I just wiped the drive

My man, my laptop sometimes turns off the screen when I tap the touchpad in Windows. It's far more broken than Linux is. Let's not go into how slow it is on an HDD in Windows 10... I have given up on booting into Windows since it's unusable

This is why I use NixOS in a git repo. I will never be able to successfully recall all the steps I did otherwise

I responded to the wrong comment, I thought this was the thread about elections in Ukraine, haha. I deleted it, but deletions don't propagate between servers quickly

Thousands of Chinese tourists go there for a very strictly controlled vacation every year. As long as they think you're not a threat it's much safer than going to a place with literal warfare going on

Jan 7th is because the Church uses an outdated Julian calendar. On that calendar, there are a different number of leap days than the modern one, so the Julian Dec 25th is the Gregorian Jan 7th

Pyongyang would be more safe, Crimea is a literal war zone. This is like taking vacation in Khartoum

Nice picture, but it looks like this now https://twitter.com/OAlexanderDK/status/1680838126292414466

The treason part is getting paid for their votes by Russia

Romney, everyone laughed and said it's not the Cold War era anymore. Little did they know he was 100% correct seeing how Russia had already invaded Georgia a few years prior
