Good. I don’t need light in the evening, I need it in the morning so I can wake up feeling rested. End DST; make standard time permanent.

I know this is a bit of a necro-bump, but Today I Found Out just released a video answering exactly this question: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ipDdWx67H9M

Aside from your preference for debian-based distros, you’re describing Garuda pretty well. But the chaotic-AUR is enabled by default, so you’d never need to hunt for .deb files in the first place. And the update script, “garuda-update”, has a bunch of nice features by default, like taking snapshots and running grub-update (which would have prevented the grub fiasco that hit the arch-based distros a while back).

The only pain points are 1.) If you don’t like Garuda’s theming, you’ll need to do some minor ricing to start, and 2.) Plasma 6 updates often enough that on a rolling release distro, something minor about your setup might break once every few months, e.g. KDE allows themes to set a minimum taskbar size and all of a sudden your taskbar increases in size, or your wallpaper gets reset for some reason.

KDE, because I’m too lazy to switch back to XFCE, which offered every feature I already use in KDE except without the stuttering, the bugs, and the update cycle that breaks things way, way too often on a rolling release distro.

Or openbox. My old laptop has openbox, but that’s more for screwing around with EWW than doing day-to-day things.

Pretty much any distro can do everything you want. But since you liked crunchbang, consider Mabox. It’s an openbox distro based on Manjaro with a bunch of QoL improvements like super+arrow to tile a window, or their own little fork of jgmenu to expand the functionality of the tint2 panel, plus some custom ricing tools. I’m not saying it’s the best distro ever, but it might give you just the right nostalgic feels.

I guess RAM is a bell curve now.

• 32GB: Enough.
• 16GB: Not enough.
• 8GB: Not enough.
• 4GB: Believe it or not, enough.

One good thing doesn’t even outweigh one bad one. What do you call someone who tells 99 truths and one lie?

A liar.

It’s the same here; there’s an asymmetry between doing what’s right and betraying someone’s trust. When Mozilla can demonstrate consistent integrity, maybe I’ll stop using a fork.

Technically, hippos don’t swim. They run along the ground. So if you pick a deep enough body of water, you might still have a chance.

Does a vote of no confidence mean anything? In American orchestras, musicians have virtually no power.

Racist? No. Racist™? Yes.

Last time I distrohopped, this was actually one of my main benchmarks. If I couldn’t install Librewolf in under a minute, I picked a different distro.

Honestly, there are probably enough people using ublock with tor browser that you can still retain most of the benefits if you do the same. You’ll just be in a smaller cohort than if you didn’t.

_Psst…🐧

To play devil’s advocate, yes, “w” is technically three syllables in English, but they’re easy enough to blur together. Meanwhile, the actual “w” sound is comparatively labor intensive, and “-orld” even more so. We’re in purple burglar alarm world.

I was so, so very wrong. And I’m quite happy about it.

What an unhinged false dichotomy. You really should make a normie conservative friend sometime. You’ll find that most of them aren’t the caricature depicted on Lemmy.

Ranked choice voting has already been adopted for state elections in multiple states.

The third party options that are likely to appear on the ballot in most states are RFK Jr., Chase Oliver, and Jill Stein. RFK Jr. isn’t my cup of tea, but he’s been polling the best of the three-- double digits last I checked, which wasn’t recently. They can’t accuse you of “stealing” a vote from the DNC if you weren’t going to vote in the first place.

(Just kidding; they will accuse you. This is Lemmy. You’re basically a fascist™ now.)

Voting is anonymous. He would have to tell someone how he voted for anyone to know. Unless you mean the primaries, in which case, he’d have to register for the party primary he wanted to vote in ahead of time. Having grown up in PA, I can tell you that it’s common practice to change parties depending on which party has the more consequential primary. I’ve done this myself, multiple times. Maybe he’s right wing. Maybe he’s left wing. But Lemmy propagandists aren’t going to wait to find out.
