TL;DR: someone goes on Tucker Carlson’s podcast and claims that nearly the entire GDP of the US (Trillion with a T was not a typo) was spent building secret underground cities.

Sic semper

You can! I registered my first account on ml, and moved to sdf, with a third on world as a backup. You can open one on every instance if you want, or more as individual instance rules permit.

The Matrix was what got me into the genre, and it’s got a special place in my heart. Probably the one I revisit most.

I switched a workstation to Secureblue for the very specific security priorities targeted by that project, but I think for the majority of users, the main reason for not switching to atomic is one you mentioned: why fix what isn’t broken? The main selling point promoted to potential new users seems to be that updates don’t break anything, but I can’t remember a single time since Debian Sarge that an update broke anything for me, and I actually find the rpm-ostree package layering and updating process to be far more of a headache than otherwise.

Unless it’s prepackaged like a steam deck, moving from the traditional way of doing things to atomic is a major change. Like any major change, people need a good reason to make it, and I think right now the only compelling ones are either hyper-specific (switching to okd and needing to build it on coreos, wanting to move to a specific atomic project, etc.), or just general curiosity.

That’s why you can adjust swappiness, or designate a different high-endurance storage device for it.

The section on Chimerical Colors is so cool!

“Sir, the people are not standing for our shit anymore. They’re holding a laser rave. The police state is crumbling as we speak.”

Yogthos is the kind of piece of shit that “critically supports” bombing Ukrainian kindergartens and maternity wards as long as, somewhere in the world, at least one Western tear is shed over it. Blocking them makes the fediverse far less unpleasant.
