Drama within a Linux Distro/open source project? I’ve seen this episode before…
I’ll be honest with you at this point if I personally stopped using something on linux be it a distro or FOSS based purely on posts or stuff like this I’d probably be back on Windows because I’d have nothing left to use.
it was good but I recently tried it again and removed it within 30 minutes. the default Nobara repo for stuff honestly didn’t have much in it and sure that’s an easy fix to circumvent, the initial bloat with all the brave crap wasn’t a great new/first impression. Also after all this time the Nobara updater is still busted.
If you want a Fedora fork that is similar to Nobara, there are better options.
It was slow but in a way more connected if that makes sense. There was more awe and more exciting things because you literally had to search for content or get it word of mouth from your friends. Communities were more inclusive and you generally knew who you were talking to online be via ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger, mIRC, or web forums/chat rooms.
I had friends from all over the world. people I knew on a first name basis that I had never met in person at all. and we all knew each other. either because we all played the same game together, we were in the same gaming clan, or we all had a similar interest in some random hobby/fandom. We’d talk on ICQ or AOL IM. We’d hang out all day in IRC and talk or just post stuff on the forums. We’d buy each other christmas and birthday presents. I remember one time a few of us in our group all pooled our money together to buy another in our friend group an Xbox cause he couldn’t afford one. My mom would naturally get concerned when I’d get packages in the mail on my birthday or christmas from places half way across the world. Guy I knew that lived in Mexico (i’m in Canada) bought me Audioslaves first album cause he figured I’d really like it. Just awesome stuff like that. You don’t get that these days.
Like for example right now I’m replying to your comment on this site. Back in my day if I were to do something like that there’s a good chance I would actually know you.
That’s what being social on the internet was like back then. It was way better. it was more carefree and fun. It was innocent.
I wouldn’t call this a victory. I’d call this a “re-evaluation”. they’ve invested way too much into AI/LLMs to simply drop it because users don’t like any of it. They’re simply going to pivot and come at this shit from a different angle.
I have to wonder what the end goal here is for Ubisoft. you got people leaving in droves, people leaving and forming their own studios and producing games that are quite literally games of the year, and they’re axing people left right and center.
And lets not kid ourselves this company is essentially the cockroach of gaming, how it’s still alive in 2026 is in it’s own right quite the achievement. I can’t even recall the last good Ubisoft game I played.
well to be fair you don’t even need to look at the md since right at the top it says it’s built with loveable.
exactly. And keep it mind it was ALL released within like a week or two of Reloaded. I was working at Best Buy when the sequel came out so I remember. Animatrix if I remember correctly literally released a few days prior to Reloaded. Hell I think Enter The Matrix released the exact same day.
I think the issue with the sequels was there was quite a bit of lore to consume and you honestly didn’t get the full picture if you only watched reloaded and resurrections.
What I mean by this is that the Wachowskis were very much involved in pretty much everything that involved the matrix be it the animatrix, the video games, or the comics and encyclopedia. So with the sequels in particular if you wanted to at least try and get a grasp on what was happening you pretty much had to watch at least the first 3 shorts of the Animatrix and especially “Kids Story” and play Enter The Matrix as they were all official canon and in many cases important to the story. So I mean unless you were a die hard Matrix fan you probably weren’t going to watch the animatrix or play the game then you might be left in the dark.
Like for example the “Kid” that is introduced in reloaded. He makes a big deal out of being saved to which Neo, says twice, that he didn’t save him and that the kid saved himself. It’s not expanded on in the movies. So you’re thinking “ok…maybe Neo is doubting his nature of being the one” but we know he isn’t as he openly flaunts his power within the Matrix. It’s not until you watch the Animatrix Short “Kids Story” which explains WHY Neo says that Kid saved himself and then it opens up an entire can of worms that actually helps you understand the ending of Reloaded and Revolutions. Kids Story is so damn pivotal to the overall lore of the Matrix and most people have never even seen nor heard of it.
I’m not even joking. The Animatrix is absolutely a must watch if you want to understand the Matrix movies.
As far as Resurrections goes…yeah it didn’t serve a purpose other than Lana utilizing it as a form to cope with her parents deaths and to at least have a bit of control over her series as Warner Brothers was going to move forward with a sequel regardless if she and/or sister were involved or not. And again it’s another part of the overall lore which you won’t truly get unless you played The Matrix Online as it borrows quite a few elements/plot points from that. But the story itself is by far the weakest out of all of them as it simply didn’t need to happen. like, at all. And even by the end of the movie you realize this because absolutely NOTHING changes. Nothing. No one wins, no one loses, things don’t change. Everything is the exact same except Neo and Trinity are awake instead of sleeping. that’s it.
yeah it’s to the point now where if I see emojis in the readme.md on the repo I just don’t even bother.
I think Anthropic has done a good enough job of poisoning Claude themselves within the past 4 to 5 months or so.

You’ve probably never heard of it but you should watch it. if you’re in your 20s and have the liver of a god then also try the drinking game.
It’s a Japanese film from the late 90s/early 00s that stars the Japanese Rockabilly band “Guitar Wolf”. the band consists of the lead, Guitar Wolf, as well as Bass Wolf and Drum Wolf. The film is ahead of its time, especially for Japan, as far as current social issues. I can’t say which ones specifically as that would spoil the movie.
The film is centered around a fan of Guitar Wolf that wants to be as big a star as them. It is also a zombie movie. How the zombies came to be is believe to be from aliens but doesn’t really specify how exactly. Nor does it specify the aliens intents and purposes but they’re in the movie just…they’re in the movie. There’s also at least like 3 subplots that don’t go anywhere or really have any effect on the overall movie.
It’s awesome.
I actually haven’t tried that, it’s a great suggestion and I’ll give it a shot!
I wanted to be a comic book artist. I can draw, I don’t do it as often as I should, and I’m not bad at it. I wanted to make comic books, get them published at an independent level, and maybe someone would read them. I could just never finish anything I started. I’d have all these great ideas for a story but I would just end up word vomiting them on a page and didn’t know how to expand on it or draw it out. Same thing when I’d try to write a story/novel. How could I create something with several chapters when I just spew everything out within a few pages. So I gave up.
Yes it will. a few years ago when the Tragically Hip played their last concert a couple of my friends in the US wanted to watch as the CBC was showing it for free. So I let them have access to my personal VPN on my server which is in Montreal.

as others have said KDE is going to work the same on Fedora as it does on your current Kubuntu system. You may be thinking “oh Fedora KDE, it must be really good on that” no that’s just how Fedora does things. I mean they have Fedora Sway and it doesn’t mean that Sway is superior on THAT version of Fedora. it just how they roll with their distro. Like say you install CachyOS as an example and during installation it presents you the option to install pretty much EVERY DE and WM in existence. Feodra simply doesn’t give you that option during install, you need to figure out which one you want to use before downloading the specific ISO for it.
So is it a better experince? it’s the same experience honestly.
I use freerdp. it’s simple, works well, just use it via the terminal. I have it alias’d so I don’t even have to think about it.
So the world is run by Zionist-Nazi Pedophiles.
The fuck is this? It’s like the trifecta of evil right there so at this point why aren’t we as a people, the world over, like getting pikes at the ready and demanding heads be placed on them? This is beyond America at this point and its clearly evident that practically every nation on the planet is compromised by child diddlers.
How can we look at any politician or anyone in any form of influence and power and not give them a side eye glance of suspicion? I mean fuck I live in Canada, my Prime Minister has been getting praise lately but even now i’m like “…soo…whose hand is in your pocket?”
I’ve actually had the opposite success rate going with soulseek. I’ve been able to find tracks or artists that simply aren’t on spotify. For eacmple a lot of Japanese bands that I follow simply don’t release full albums on the regular. usually just singles and EPs here and there. I rarely find them on spotify but on soulseek they’re on there within the day of them releasing the song. some with other obscure stuff. The soulseek user base is primarily made up of audiophiles so you’re going to find a lot more and a lot better quality stuff.
it’s a mindless install. If you want something to just play games on, maybe stream stuff, then Bazzite makes it easy and you don’t have to think about it. IF you’re looking to potentially do MORE on bazzite like dev wok or whatever than yeah, there’s much better distros to use for that. Sure you can circumvent all this utilizing like Distrobox or whatever but honestly if you’re going that route then why are you using Bazzite? If you’re looking to make hard things easy and easy things hard just get on NixOS. and I say that as a NixOS user.
