I think the operative word phrase is "supposed to"

Anecdotally... It doesn't seem to exist.

I also watched the video in question. Pretty entertaining. CONEY is delightfully sarcastic.

before anyone fucking @'s me... I get that saving RAM state across system updates could break shit. But it doesn’t have to, especially if you implement a tagging or compatibility layer to track what's safe to resume. That kind of bridging isn’t impossible, it just takes planning.

FOSS software routinely considers edge cases like this. Microsoft doesn’t. That’s not a tech limitation; that’s just not caring about user convenience.

This post is kinda annoying to respond to. Not because of what you said, but because it’s hard to map my intuitions into words and convey exactly what’s wrong with Windows in the first place.

Linux doesn’t require immediate rebooting, it assumes the user will choose the right time. And if Microsoft actually gave a shit about user autonomy, there are smarter ways to handle updates.

For example: instead of forcing updates in the middle of the fucking day, just wait until the system would normally sleep or hibernate, or when the user is clearly inactive (like at night). At that point, the system could save the current RAM state to disk, reboot with updates applied, and restore the session exactly as it was.

This isn’t sci-fi. NixOS can already do this (barring kernel changes). The fact that it works proves the concept is viable.

Not far off base lol. As long as it compiles on whoever's machine decides to repackage the application, it'll run on everyone's.

Most updates its usually just a matter of updating a key.

Its not that hard to make a wrapper for a program designed for hard-linked paths.

The idea behind using the word "faggot" was to illustrate how political correctness has been destroyed by Trump. The episode is a wake-the-fuck-up call.

The consequence of all trumps "anti-woke" (asshole) rhetoric, is that something as shockingly backwards as saying "faggot" has become normalised (and Jesus is back in school lol).

If the usage of slurs in this episode pisses you off, then good. It means your dickhead-detector is calibrated properly. (Trey and Matt aren't the dickheads btw)

Now, if you were in South Park, who would you blame for this? The answer is Trump.

Trump has normalised people saying "faggot" and "retard" because that's his legacy. Not helping anyone, only himself, by appealing to the anti-woke dickheads, and convincing his base this matters more than improving the lives of the people he was sworn to help.

Trey and Matt don't just fire off slurs like that for kicks. They're trying to shock you into thinking about how the pieces fit.

I think it's almost a matter of reverse engineering the info.

OP said the set.

For the past month I've been developing a NixOS platform for local businesses.

I keep overestimating how much people know. It's infuriating trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I don't need to explain why it's amazing, just that it is, and it works. I feel like I'm Mugatu talking to Zoolander at times.

Even if I could perfectly analogise what a declarative operating system is, it wouldn't matter to a client because they don't understand how a non NixOS machine works.

Though, the worst part is trying to explain to someone, who is "happy with Windows" why they should not be.

How the fuck do people in 2025 not fucking loathe Windows? There's fucking ads in the start menu. There's like 4 different places to change settings. The systems bloat and slow to a crawl as the OS ages.

It's fucked.

In the florescent bathroom of food court, nano crouched by the toilet, vomiting his guts up after consuming the kernel-krush slushie.

He thought being the lowest common denominator was bad; used by noob sysadmins and confused interns, until this moment.

The slushie hadn’t tasted right. It was supposed to be "Byteblast Blueberry," but it had an aftertaste of burnt silicone and magic smoke. Something in it was wrong. nano could feel it rewriting him from the inside.

lines of strange lua code scrawled across the back of his eyelids. His .bash_history was being overwritten. His sense of indentation… sharpened.

As his tremors subsided and the last of the neon goo slid down the drain, he looked up into the cracked mirror. Something had changed.

His terminal font was crisper. His cursor… blinking with authority. And there, under the stall's flickering light, he whispered:

"...:wq"

Suddenly, the doors of ever bathroom stall flung open in unison, people shit themselves in fear as his inner thoughts wrote themselves onto the walls of his stall.

nano inhaled deeply, as a familiar scent wafted from under the entrance door, and a shadow stretched to the far wall.

"emacs..." He muttered to himself, before the entrance door crashed open. emacs snorted and coughed, this bloated monstrosity, confused for a text editor, was actually an operating system.

"Poor little nano" he chuckled "serves you right for trying to be more than a fuckin' stepping stone. Why don't you go hang out with Edge and Bing, you're about as useful as a clippy themed Chrome extension."

emacs' voice reverberated through the tiled chamber like a RAM leak in a core dump. His trenchcoat, stitched from thousands of unreadable .el files, dragged behind him.

neovim exited the bathroom stall, letting emacs bask in his new glory for the first time.

"Fuck off, Emacs. You press seven keys just to copy a line."

A silence fell across the stalls. Somewhere, a urinal cake cracked.

Emacs stepped forward, snarling. "I’m the past and the future, nano. I’ve got an email client, a music player, a fucking psychiatrist built-in. You? You’re a Hello World that got a pity install"

neovims eyes narrowed, one coloured gruvbox, the other catppuccin as he clenched his first "My name... Is Neo (vim)"

Next time:

neovim & emacs - Battle of the Keybinds

Will neovims LSP destroy emacs s-expressions?

Can emacs remember how to quit in time?

Shit's fakked

 

Obviously we don't eat products which are the result of non-human animal exploitation, but are you willing to:

  • Buy "vegan" products made using the same manufacturing equipment? (Conveyer belts for example, resulting in near certain contamination).
  • Buy vegan products made by the same company which produces non-vegan products? (Buying fries from McDonalds, resulting in more capital for McD's exploitation).
  • Buy vegan products from non-vegan grocery stores? (Pretty hard to avoid for most people, especially those on low income).

Curious to know where everyone stands on this.

I remember at the time, lots of people being on the fence and didn't know what to believe.

Where do you land now, after all this time?

 

I fucking hate DST. It's like dog diarrhoea splashed over a fat girls tiddies.

I know a lot of people hate it, surely it's time for this moronic practice to end.

So who do I email about this? Is it my MP?

 

Also, why?

Banned shows:

  • Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven't watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn't watch it (though, I can could be convinced I'm wrong, if I am)
  • Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don't try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.

Approved:

  • Sesame Street
  • Bluey

Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.

 

The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I'm on the Vodafone network).

Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?

I can't believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I'm unable to receive phone calls from my house.

 

Does HoYo ever repeat these kind of events, or is it unlikely that I'll ever get this lightcone?

I'm having trouble understanding all the benefits of BTRFS and how they'll apply to me.

Copy on Write and auto-compression seem like they will free up a bit of space.

What other practical benefits will I see from using BTRFS? Are there any noticeable performance benefits?

I use my computer to dual-boot. I don't need snapshots because I have a custom script for a fresh install. I use my PC for gaming and work. I've got an NVMe, two SSD's and one HDD.

Thanks in advance!

Right now we've got share, bookmark, upvote and down vote.

But I share and bookmark less than I block communities (curating my feed), and hide posts (so I can refresh without scrolling past the same stuff).

The latter two are in the extras menu. It would be great if I could swap these buttons.

Thanks for all your work! This is my favourite Lemmy app!
