As someone who's had family members deported because of Biden's fascist border policy, this:
  • If public opinion is the problem then the correct thing to do is change public opinion, not throw up your hands and go "nothing can be done, we just have to keep splitting up these families and keeping them in concentration camps". How the hell did we get to the point where that seems inevitable?

  • “I timed my life perfectly"... “I was born just after the end of the Second World War. I was a teen-ager before there was aids. And now I’m going to die before the end.”
  • Gross. AIDS could have probably been contained if the US government did something about it. Instead, Reagan, the boomers' collecting favorite person in history, did nothing but make things worse and mock/malign the victims.

    Also, nice of him to take credit for the circumstances of his life. As of it was his choice to be born when he was and not in some other time. I guess that's how he can be at peace with everything happening, though. Simultaneously crediting himself with circumstances he had no say in while existing himself of responsibility for the current circumstances.

  • Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • Google also lost a court case and had this system forced onto them by the law. I believe it would literally take a change in the dmca (ideally just repeal it or strip all the anti consumer bs out of it) for them to be allowed to do anything different.

  • The master race condition
  • It's incredible that this is such a big point of debate. This kind of thing is really ignoring the material reality of racism in favor of the minutiae. Let's have some 40 acres and a mule, then we can start talking about race conditions.

  • Those that work forces are those who burn crosses.
  • If you go back to 2012, Vice Presidential pick Paul Ryan listed RATM as his favorite band. At least the MAGA people are raging against something and they think it's the machine, but Paul Ryan was a technocratic dweeb who probably would've gotten shoved in a locker in high school if his dad wasn't rich. Paul Ryan was supposed to be smart, too, but i guess whether you're smart or not doesn't matter if you live in a fantasy world. You're doing to make a fool of yourself either way.

  • Removing GNOME packages from KDE install
  • I think you already got a good answer but let me throw in another:

    Fedora's dnf provides some good history and update reversion tools. You can use:

    dnf history list

    to get a list of all actions taken on the system since install. Use "dnf history info 5" to get info on the 5th transaction. (Get the transaction ID numbers from "dnf history list".)

    Then to revert a change use either:

    dnf history rollback or dnf history undo

    Using undo reverses a single transaction, so if you have one where you did something like "dnf install tmux" and then ran undo on it then that would be equivalent to running "dnf remove tmux" in terms of what it does on your system.

    Rollback does what you might think: it basically goes through all the updates between the most recent and the one specified and it reverses each of them, theoretically restoring the system to the state it was in at that time.

    I say "theoretically" because this isn't a perfect system. For example, if you have an update where you removed some software that had some customizations done to it and then went through a rollback it'll put that software back but may be missing configurations you applied to it, so potentially it could cause some issues if those were important. This gets into a lot of complicated stuff and tbh it is a powerful but imperfect system. Something like Atomic gives you more of a guarantee that a rollback will work because the whole system state is defined by the installer, not just the packages.

    There's one more note: Fedora removes old versions of packages from its repos so you'll need to add their historical archives repo to do certain things. I forget how to do that off the top of my head.

    This may not be what you want exactly but it's a powerful tool that's good to be aware of.

    See this for more info.

  • Removing GNOME packages from KDE install
  • dnf remove @gnome-desktop dnf autoremove

    For the curious.

    Note that the autoremove might not do anything here. Removing @gnome-desktop removes the whole package group and should get everything in it.

  • Canonical Announces Availability of Real-Time Kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  • I imagine something like Fedora with an RT kernel and CPU partitioning could be as reliable as an old Amiga. CPU partitioning would let you reserve one or more cores for specific applications such as music production software. Now, the software in question may not be up to the task but that's a different problem.
