We don't eat the fruits of carrots and onions, though.

Seconded, with caveats. Garuda is basically a gaming-ready Arch with a few of the rough edges filed off (and a 1337 G4M3R desktop theme preinstalled). I quite like their convenience stuff but in the end it's still Arch.

Pros: It's easy to set up and conveniently comes with everything you need to start gaming. It defaults to the KDE desktop, which will feel fairly familiar to Windows expats. It allows you to do whatever you want to do, in true Linux fashion. Cons: It's still Arch-based so you will be living at the bleeding edge. A certain amount of occasional instability is to be expected. The default theme might put you off if you're not into the whole gamer aesthetic but it's easy to change.

I also see people recommending Bazzite and similar immutable distros and honestly, I can see the appeal. They're harder to break and Discover (or whichever Flathub frontend you use) is very welcoming and convenient for managing your installed apps.

Pros: You're less involved with the OS's technical underpinnings than with an Arch-based distro. Immutables are designed to be robust. The Flatpak-centric workflow feels slicker than a traditional package manager. Cons: The design restricts your freedom to a certain degree. Flatpak has a few caveats compared to native software packages.

In the end I'd say that Garuda is great if you're interested in learning more about how Linux works and want to be able to tinker with the system. There's a ton of resources on technical stuff in Arch and all of them apply to Garuda as well. On the other hand, an immutable like Bazzite is great if you'Re not interested in Linux internals and just want something that works and is hard to break.

I wouldn't call that a good foundation for a diet.

yFood kinda sucks taste-wise IMO and I think meal replacement shakes from a sports nutrition company offer a better bang for the buck. (Plus the whole thing where Nestlé owns a share of the company these days.)

Piracy isn't piracy. Piracy is copyright infringement. Real piracy involves boats.

So if you want to be a proper pirate, run your BitTorrent client on a boat.

No, I think it works without a network connection. But it's ~~an Electron~~ a React Native app now, which means it's a glorified webview displaying an HTML document pretending to be an app because apparently even Microsoft don't give a shit about MAUI.

Electron apps (and similar shit like React Native) are notorious for being slow and extremely resource-hungry. You know, exactly what you don't want a care part of your OS to be.

It's important to learn your definitions.

Aro ace: Aromantic, asexual.

Aero ace: Shot down five other planes in war while flying a plane.

Arrow ace: Acquired every skill known to man by spending five years on an abandoned island, most of which wasn't actually spent on the island.

I remember the early 2000s when basically 90% of all Americans were absolutely certain that jihadists were going to attack their local supermarket any minute now because Power Cable, Nebraska was such a strategic target.

Heck, there was a bomb scare because of an advertisement campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force that involved placing PCBs with LEDs on them that would display characters from the show. Because surely Al Quaeda would put conspicuous LED displays on their bombs.

News media want people to panic so they keep tuning in. Panicked people tend to come up with remarkably stupid scenarios like "Al Quaeda have unlimited resources and can show up anywhere to shoot people at random" or "Hamas want to take Dorcester as a strategic location to strike at Israel from".

He should go on vacation with the CEO of Nestlé and publicly endorse single-use plastics.

Now the big question is how many patents are relevant and who owns them. And even if it turns out to have cheap licensing, beating HDMI won't be easy, as DisplayPort demonstrates. Technological superiority doesn't mean shit if you can't overcome HDMI's network effect.

Victor Willis (the lead singer and effective owner of the band) has had some interesting interactions with the Trump campaign. To quote Wikipedia:

In the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump once again used the song at his rallies, usually performing the "Trump Dance" while it played. Willis has lamented his use of the song since 2020, and even considered a lawsuit to block Trump from using the song, but confessed there's "not much he can do about it" and decided it was "beneficial" to have the song back on the charts. He later reversed his position and thanked Trump for using the song, pointing out how it had earned him several million dollars.

On January 13, 2025, Village People announced their participation at Trump's second inauguration.

In December, Willis also stated that Y.M.C.A. had never had any homosexual connotations whatsoever in one of the most transparent attempts at marketing something to conservatives I've yet seen. I get the feeling that he's probably not a MAGA believer but he's perfectly willing to pose as whatever he has to if it makes him money.

"Well, excuuuuuse me, princess!"

gets shot twice, just to make sure

They did, about three times, each time abandoning it before the ecosystem could stabilize.

Admittedly, the last time nobody even wanted to buy in because everyone expected them to drop the OS within two years. Which they promptly did.
