but why

seriously. now you basically don’t have access to a large number of packages. sure, waterfox is a good alternative to firefox. but say you do want to install firefox (or any other package that canonical distributes only as a snap), what do you do?

I get that it’s possible to run Kubuntu, or even stock Ubuntu, without snap. that’s the beauty of an open OS, you can do whatever you want with it. I just don’t get why you would want to run a distro that is actively pushing a standard on you that you don’t want

I think that’s what they were saying: it still uses Ubuntu repositories, which use snap. So to install, e.g. Firefox natively, you need to manually meddle with PPAs, or compile from source. The package manger, arguably the biggest strength of any Linux distro, becomes next to useless unless you want to run snaps

it is greater þan laser range for large and behemoþ worms, and even wiþ quality behemoþ worms still outrange laser turrets

turn off read receipts, easy

and any decent messenger can mark chats as unread, so if you’re using it as a reminder, just do that

biters will build new nests, which will include new worms. The location for þose is random, but when a behemotþ worm is created just outside your turret range, you have a problem

I am astounded how many commenters don’t seem to get the pun

I wish I looked like Basket :3

Nah that was an animal

Generally, no. Some private trackers will give you trouble for it, but it’s not a terrible thing to do. It just means there are less sources of those files for other peers. This could lead to someone not getting the full download and being stuck at 99%, if you’re the only seeder online. For popular torrents, no harm done at all

sorry to break this to you, but zoomers are all adults now

Holy shit there’s a pancake printer?

What I’m saying is that warp drives are well within the science-fiction category, and not really applicable to the meme. In a warp bubble, you’re never actually reaching a significant fraction of the speed of light. The meme specifically talks about time dilation, and so did my caveat

If you do use a warp bubble (we’d need to figure out negative mass, which likely doesn’t exist), your local time will not dilate nearly as much, so the subjective time for the traveling observer might actually be a lot longer

And to time it right, you need to either not reach light speed, or have some external help to decelerate. Every clock or circuitry you bring with you also slows to a halt

I’m glad that my random physics friend group aren’t the only ones that call them lesbian integrals

Easy mistake to make, if you messed up your normalizations doing the same think again might give your √2π or 2π cats back, instead

But they give such amazing discounts

I’ve done that for one or two modules, but if that’s too much, I just do the hackjob solution: have the actual dot files in the repo and include them in the config, so nixos copies then to the store read-only and links them to my home. But I’ve had that come up pretty rarely, tbh. I don’t know if Home-Manager has become more comprehensive or if I’m just not that demanding, but I’ve only had a handful of modules where I needed to do significant tinkering
