I've got a spicy take, but desperately want to get it off my chest
  • It's not about proving it beyond a doubt, the OP's frustrarion is about how the whole courtroom drama was inaccurate.

    The assumtion is this: Legally, Starfleet only allows sapent adults to join its ranks. So a toaster cannot be a starfleet officer, and neither can a dog.

    The fact that he is an officer means that in legal terms, Starfleet has already decided that he is a person, and any court that asks this question has a quick and easy answer.

  • KDE's New Distro: Btrfs-Based, Immutable Linux OS, with Flatpak and Snap
  • You certainly have to learn new ways of doing things when you want to tinker, but they are basically UNBREAKABLE, which is my main plus point. I'm busy, I need my PC to be reliable. I don't want to have to troubleshoot stuff just to keep it up and running.

    If I had more time I would really enjoy the tinkering, but I don't so I need my distro just work.

  • Rich tax.
  • Because we do not fight under conditions of our choosing, we fight where we stand.

    Taxing the rich is a short-term solution, but it's one that we can do RIGHT NOW that would be a step in the right direction. You can't just quit capitalism cold-turkey without a bloody revolution. You have to take steps to transform society in a gradual manner.

  • I'm Greganent?
  • I totally agree with you. I just hate all of these "don't have kids" arguments from liberal people. It's not a viable solution, because the fascists and the idiots are gong to have kids. We need at least some sane people to continue on.

    But the is all emotional and subjective, I'll admit that. I'm not really thinking about this topic with a clear head anymore.

  • I'm Greganent?
  • And what then, the human race just dies out? I get the pessimistic feeling, but we may very well be the only sapient species in this galaxy. It would be such a waste to just give up and perish because of momentary hardships.

    We are literally sapient stardust, and I'm certainly not going to give up and throw away the efforts and struggles on millions of ancestors just because of some current corporate greed and fascism is in fashion.

  • Question regarding android phones
  • As others have stated, grapheneOS is a good choice, and it's extremely secure.

    Another option is murena' eOS. If you live in Europe, thier store sells phones with the OS preinstalled, and if you don't, the easy installer app works pretty well with most models.

    But fair warning, I recently installed eOS on my wife's old Samsung S7, and I ended up having to do the installation manually with adb (command line tools). So read up on the phone you want to use, some are easier than others.

    The operating system itself is great, and allows for anonymous usage of the play store (free stuff only of course) as well as F-Droid out of the box. You can also add your Google account to get full play store functionality, but then Google starts getting your info again, albeit less than with standard android.

  • Flatpak Help Needed

    Hi all!

    I'm trying to use a local LLM to help me write in an Obsidian.md vault. The local LLM is running through a flatpak called GTP4ALL, which states that it can expose the model through an OpenAI server. The obsidian.md plugin can't reach the LLM on the specified port, so I'm wondering if the flatpak settings need to be changed to allow this.

    (This is all on bazzite, so the obsidian program is a flatpak too)

    Anyone have an idea where to start?

    Backup Question (External HD to pcloud)

    I'm setting up a backup if an external hard drive to my pcloud, and I have come across the following issue. I need the help of this awesome community.

    I used to run arch on my laptop, and I set up a backup of a usb hard drive to my pcloud storage. This was extremely convenient, because all I had to do was occasionally connect the drive, start the backup service, and that's it. Any changes to the drive would automatically be backed up in the cloud.

    Now I've switched to bazzite,and the pcloud doesn't recognize the external drive as the same device anymore because the path has changed. It treats the drive as a part of the "new" laptop.

    Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this? I don't mind starting from scratch again, I just want to find a way to avoid this in the future.

    Note: I understand that I could just get a raspberry pi or something similar to act as a new dedicated "pcloud backup device" or something like that. I'm looking first for a solution that would work in the case of a new linux PC veing used in the future to do this same job and not loose the connection.

    Edit: I think it would be enough to change the name of the PC, either just for the (pcloud) flatpak or the whole PC.

    Which Ring Should I Use?

    I've got a really fun run going here, with a blooming staff of Blast Wave and platemail of camouflage. Normally those enchantments are not the best, but the combination of knockback, creating grass, and Invisibility when trampling is both tactically amazing and enormous fun.

    But which ring should I use? I can't seem to decide.

    I have some SoU's, so whatever ring I use, I'll probably upgrade it to +3.

    KDE + Gnome on Atomic Fedora

    I need some help here from the experts.

    Some background below, but here's the question:

    Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I'm just not finding the correct documentation.

    Background:

    I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I'm loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn't work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times.

    I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn't happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can't figure it out.

    Freerunner Fun (Shattered PD)

    Tiff was such a fun run!

    A found a +3 leather armor early, which I was able to enchant with stone glyph (coverts evasion into damage reduction). This combined with the freerunner evasion abilities was incredibly effective at reducing damage overall.

    The rings of haste and fervor were also a great find, because speed is life for the freerunner. I was so fast that I was occasionally one-hitting enemies before they even woke up! Never experienced that before.

    Finally, the kinetic katana. I was able to save all my SoUs until I found the katana next to the troll blacksmith (found some +2 weapons that did OK until then), and I poured everything I had into it. It was at +9 by the dwarves, and boy did that feel good.

    I’ve been playing less to win and more to try interesting builds lately, but this one was an easy ascension. And man was he fast!
