I don't provision any two devices exactly the same way, and if I did there's nothing stopping that provisioning script/tool from changing or becoming out of date over time since I'd only run it once every couple of years. I briefly looked at nixos but as another reply said, the major hurdle was the documentation and trying to get "the right way" to do things. I remember flakes being mentioned but being experimental and there being two other things competing as the solution to the same problem and at that point I lost interest. I moved to fedora for the first time in a decade recently and installed what I needed via dnf. It wasn't a difficult enough process to justify learning another programming language.

Yup it's on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

Recently had a look at graphics cards because I'm concerned about my 1080Ti dying at some point but you literally cannot find a better bang-for-buck card than this 9 year old relic (assuming you don't need 4k, which I don't). Never mind that newer cards also consume much more energy too. This is why campaigns like endof10.org are so important. We've all got perfectly good hardware, no need to throw it away just to line some scumbag corpo's pocket.

I was so focussed on the misspelling of "losing" that I missed the chatGBT.

I don't know much about how national parks work in practice but they seem to be a way to create little feifdoms for people to get into positions of power, even if it is just the power to say you can't park in a certain place overnight.

Ugh I don't know why but this was the one that got me. Just no.

These are sophomores and Juniors in college.

... Who grew up in a world where computer internals were abstracted away so you never needed to know what a file was or even that they exist. I wouldn't know what a file was either if I didn't grow up in exactly the right time frame and have a dad who hoarded DOS PCs.

This is so British politics. Don't solve all of the fundamental problems of Brexit, just fix the minor one that people will have a direct experience of.

Before the comments roll in, are you venting or looking for advice?

In case it's just the latter: this was a tough read and I hope you're ok.

Of course even as a child Churchill is smug
