    Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

    I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

    The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.









  • Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that’s because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.

    I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn’t work. I lose interest or don’t absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren’t going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.


  • I’m sure every generation says this but…

    Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn’t work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you’re comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.





  • Yep. The governments typically select who administers the tld and then get a lump sum or portion of the revenues.

    For .ai it was 10% of their GDP in 2023 which is insane…

    The registration fees earned from the .ai domains go to the treasury of Government of Anguilla. As per a New York Times report, in 2018, the total revenue generated out of selling .ai domains was $2.9 million.[13][14]

    In 2023, Anguilla’s government made about US$32 million from fees collected for registering .ai domains. That amounted to more than 10% of gross domestic product for the territory.[
