Probably not directly helpful, but Nix packages for Chromium and Electron apps are set up so that you can switch to native Wayland mode globally by setting an environment variable, NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1

I don’t know of any global setting that isn’t distro-specific.

That’s a different form

From what I’ve learned revolutions are often accompanied by circumstances where people are desperate due to lack of basic necessities, especially food.

The French revolution was preceded by a serious food shortage. Remember that “let them eat cake” comment? One of the key events, the Women’s March which displaced the king and queen from Versailles, was specifically motivated by demands for food.

The European People’s Spring saw lots of revolutions across Europe in 1848-1849 including in France, Italy, Bavaria, Austria, Hungary. That was about the same time as a continent-wide grain shortage on top of an economic crisis.

The Russian revolution of 1917 came at a time when a combination of WW1, bad leadership, and an extra cold winter led to food shortages, and fuel shortages so people were starving and freezing at the same time.

This seems like the right answer to me. Whether or not you decide to dual boot, make one of these USB keys so you can recover if something goes wrong.

When I was using Debian I found I could generally get the latest version of software I wanted from Nix if it wasn’t in the main Debian repos, or was outdated. Nix works quite well on any Linux distro - it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the system.

All I can tell you is that this is done differently for each shell. So decide whether you want completions for bash, zsh, fish, all of the above, or whatever, and look at the docs for the relevant shells.

I think you want to remove the c because that means “create” an archive, and you’re missing a z which applies gzip decompression/compression

This is why I switched to labelling USB sticks with two-character codes, and I keep a file that lists the current content of each stick.

Anyone else read these newsletter titles in Pixlriff’s voice? “This week, in Hermitcraft Gnome!”

Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)

It’s great that the system is so efficient. But things do come up. I once worked with an LSP server that was so hungry that I had to upgrade from 32 to 64gb to stop the OOM crashes. (Tbf I only ran out of memory when running the LSP server and compiler at the same time - but hey, I have work to do!) But now since I’m working in a different area I’m just way over-RAMed.

That’s a good one, and also the first thing I thought of.

There’s also a remake that’s not bad that features Hugh Laurie using his native accent.

There’s a relevant community post, NixOS is not dying, please don’t spread fear actively

iOS also supports third-party passkey managers so that’s an alternative to Android for helping to fill gaps creating passkeys.

Nice! I may take a look. I’ve been happy with Enpass except that I recently switched to a window manager that doesn’t implement xwayland, and Enpass is one of only two apps that I haven’t gotten working in native wayland mode, or found a substitute for. So I’ve been running Enpass in a rootful xwayland window running a nested i3 session. The IPC connection to the browser extension still works so it’s not too bad, but I’m a little tempted to try alternatives.

Oh interesting! I guess that explains the awkward arrangement of two people holding three cups of coffee between them

Oh yeah - the classic move of saving people from doctors! Everything I know about this is from the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan which suggested that Rasputin likely provided an emotionally-calming influence that probably helped.

I forgot to mention that to use a passkey manager on Android in addition to setting that Chrome feature flag you also need to set the app as your passkey manager. That’s done at the system level in Settings > Passwords & accounts > Passwords, passkeys, and data services

It’s likely a myth that Rasputin was sleeping with the czarina. (Although there’s no proof either way.) He had a very close relationship with the czar and czarina because their son had hemophilia, and Rasputin’s presence seemed to help his condition. It was a serious illness, and the parents were desperate for anything that could help. But the hemophilia was a secret so nobody outside the family knew why the czar and czarina kept Rasputin so close despite dangerous rumours that Rasputin was the one running Russian policy. The idea that Rasputin was sleeping with the czarina was a popular theory because Rasputin was a well-known horny motherfucker.

FYI I’ve been running Steam and Wine games in Gamescope because I’m using a window manager that doesn’t implement XWayland. I don’t know if that would help with Nvidia, but might be worth a try. It works ok; Gamescope has a Steam integration switch that helps.

I think Electron apps mostly switch to native Wayland mode if you set an environment variable, ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland. The one I don’t have working in Wayland mode is Discord. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland#Electron
