There are a lot of binary packages now, and explicit bin versions of big ones like firefox or the kernel. Without using those an update after some months may take half a day. With them, even a weak laptop only takes a few minutes.

Gentoo doesn’t want to push you into some compiled utopia, it’s offering you the option of customizing or taking control where needed.
You can have your system use binary packages but then set one packet to source, download the source, modify it, write a patch, and have a package with a completely custom sourcecode modification that you can easily keep updating as normal at the cost of it now taking longer due to compiling from source.

It used to be that there was no option at all, on any distro. You’d have the broken proprietary drivers, or the open source reverse engineered one with half the performance and unreliability in specialty features.

Since then Nvidia has shifted focus to get their drivers working properly, and there were also changes making them more open source, tho I’m not sure that’d mean the “proprietary driver” will go full foss at some point.

If op is to be believed, the proprietsry driver is already a lot more stable, so it’s now a software licensing issue not an unfixable technical issue.

3 years ago this was true. Not sure if nvidia works properly with wayland even now, though at least the trend is different now

After op donated all their data to debian they had none left for their meme. Heartwarming

It’ll train everyone to ignore the warnings, so if a different platform implements such a system more sensibly users will be inclined to ignore those warnings too now. Overusing a warning is a really quick way to make people ignore it even where used correctly.
If you placed wet floor signs everywhere just in case, fall injuries would increase.

Systems around this will develop, either people will learn to dig up the dms, or it’ll be incorporated into normal communication. It’s already become the norm to use friend requests as a dm request on discord, due to previous dm restrictions.

If every message goes to a special inbox, none do. You just train people to use that inbox like they use their current inbox

On laptops it usually replaces right ctrl, sometimes right alt.
Both these are needed to make lots of shortcuts viable, or possible at all with one hand.

right alt is also an importand 3rd shift layer for many languages’ keyboards, hence them replacing right ctr often instead of the less popular alt.

They recently started on wraparound homescreens (still a little buggy), so that might indicate they could soon add it. Still waiting on a way to remive widget paddings. In general lawnchair has so much more padding than nova, and not enough customizability to remove it.

In this context it’d mean something like “the actions of the binary are immutably liked to the spec”

Don’t wanna interrupt your rant, but “determinism and verifiable integrity” doesn’t sound like it’d impede changes.

Determinism/reproducible builds allow independent verification that a source corresponds to the binaries some repo ships. You can set up most languages, build systems, and environment to be reproducible, and once done it doesn’t have any additional effects, except maybe when changing build procedures you have to maintain the reproduceability.

“verifiable integrity” to me sounds like computer proof systems. Showing an algorithm/code/program corresponds exactly to some written spec, mathematically.

The project seems to be positioned explicitly against points of authority and “security” through compliance checks and certifications.

At least those eat no resources besides taking up space in htop. And can be traced to the parent being weird.
Have you dealt with io-locked processes? Funny D-statuses spreading like a disease, anything that touches an infected process or resource also inherits it. Worst cases I have seen (nfs client kernel module not connecting a mountpoint properly) made every one of those fully resistant to -9.

Plus value added tax, city tax, and over the counter delivery fee.

Keeping acidic things on your teeth pulls out the flouride making them brittle over time. The flouride added to all kinds of stuff is meant to help with that but the effectiveness is questionable. Better to simply not keep acidic stuff in your mouth too long, and to clean your teeth with your tongue after or swish some water.

Coke is famous for causing brittle teeth.

There is some more complexity. Melee jetpack jumping is still a thing, but with more skill, you need a sort of double jump that eats jetpack like nothing and takes reach, then land on a fitting slope to launch. You’ll loose height and it ends when you hit ground, so aiming this well under those conditions feels really good. The longer the jumps the more efficient.

There are also movement upgrades pairing with this you can select. Either just skipping it and going for run speed, or embracing it speccing into the jetpack.
This also makes sure things don’t feel slow anymore down the progression no matter the specifics.

yes, yes.

yes, I think so, no.

But I don’t think that’s all that important. Mlre importantly it feels more interesging now, and probably has a few cool new things you didn’t even know you wanted.
I found nms is pretty reliably getting less boring and anoying over time, though it’s still not perfect by any means.
