I know it’s a joke, but why would a shapeshifter 350 years into the future on a planet 50 lightyears away be guilty of any of the same prejudices that our local cops are?

I’d like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.

Yes, this. Don’t put your whole home directory in git.

If you haven’t already, take a peek at Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It’s fanfiction, but absolutely worth a read.

There’s https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ for privacy, at least.

Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It’s a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.

Testing the water!

Snaps just aren’t ready yet.

The only remedy is attending mass more often.

Blockchains aren’t exactly the best at proof of personhood. Usually all they can do is make masquerading as multiple people (a Sybil Attack) more expensive.

That’s not to say interesting approaches haven’t come out of blockchain-adjacent work, like https://passport.gitcoin.co/.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares I think? Don’t understand the quotes though.

Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.

One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅

You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?

If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.

Should’ve been, “It was a mistake, in Heinzsight.”

Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.

/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.

That said, there are cases of players noticing emergent behaviour in games! For example: https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1428008041887281157

I’m upvoting you, but I’m not happy about it.

The Nox and Tollan were way more Prime Directive than the Asgard.

It used to be AGPL, now it’s SSPL.
