  • Sabayon Linux. I’m not sure if it’s still releasing updates, the main website is dead. It was based on Gentoo and later funtoo, but had a package manager of precompiled binaries. You could still use emerge if you wanted to. Definitely a weird and interesting distro

    Blend OS is trying to do the declarative nixos thing but with an arch base. That’s pretty cool.

    ClearOS was Intel’s attempt at an immutable os. From what I remember it was really fast.

    Edit: actually it clear Linux not clearOS. Edit: also clear Linux is stateless. I don’t know, there’s a lot about it I don’t understand



  • I’ve heard it called a luxury issue by some. As in an issue that privileged people take up because they already have the privilege of safety and order.

    I mean yeah cops disproportionately target certain groups of people. Their training sucks and has the added bonus of making them trigger happy schizos who see crime and offence where it doesn’t exist. But also I think it’s pretty obvious that there needs to be some sort of law enforcement/peace keeping group.

    Police reform? I can get behind that. Abolishing police? Sounds kinda dumb.







  • Been on and off Warframe since it launched (beta maybe), but it’s always like years between. I probably only have like 60 hours total. So whenever I come back I’m just as lost as when I started playing. Like oh, I have a ship now, oh there’s story now, you can fly! No wait it sucks, there’s an open world section!

    I don’t have the time for Warframe now, but it could be fun to be confused with other people.








  • Showing off is an important part of social MMOs. If anyone can have the really cool looking thing for some cash then what’s the point of grinding? For a hardcore player, what do they have to show off their prestige?

    It’s pretty important for an MMO to respect its most active players. Not to mention, what do new players have to look up to? To think, what do I have to get that? If the answer is “oh I just have to fork out some dough”. That’s kinda disappointing




  • The Alchemist, I had to read it for a community college class. It’s probably the most predictable book I’ve ever read, but not in an entertaining way. Just painfully boring.

    I read Siddhartha for highschool a couple years before, I would say that the books are almost identical, except I liked Siddhartha more.

    You want a book with similar themes but actually amazing? The wizard of Earthsea.

    I know the books aren’t literally the same. But the vibes feel very similar. I want to say they have very similar structure, but my memory doesn’t work that great.
