Lev Sotskov: Had the British, French and their European ally Poland, taken this offer seriously then together we could have put some 300 or more divisions into the field on two fronts against Germany - double the number Hitler had at the time. (...) It was clear that the Soviet Union stood alone and had to turn to Germany and sign a non-aggression pact to gain some time to prepare ourselves for the conflict that was clearly coming. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

I've been feeling gushy about my setup lately, I think I've finally found my home on Linux. For decades I've distrohopped each year and never was really happy with it all, but Fedora Atomic has changed that.
Some things I can do with Fedora Atomic that I cannot do with other Linux distros:
I can rebase to Bazzite for gaming performance when I feel like having a long gaming session.
I can rebase to Secureblue when I think I will not be gaming and would prefer a more secure linux setup.
I can update my system and not have to worry about special instructions, its extremely stable. Many times in the past, running a small ma-and-pa distro with most things pre-configed for performance would end with it breaking after a couple of major updates. This isn't true for configs like Bazzite and Secureblue, they are remarkably stable across many major updates due to how rpm-ostree functions.
Distrobox and Flatpak are more than enough at this stage for most programs and they help you avoid making too many alterations to the base image, greatly speeding up the swaps between major images.
The kicker? Your user configs and home files are never changed when you 'image hop'. It always feels like you just installed a fresh distro whenever you upgrade, and the performance benefits are noticeable. You don't have to tinker and do the same changes over and over, its all handled for you by rpm-ostree.
10/10 this is the future of Linux. I hope for a future where I can rebase entire Linux distros while maintaining my configs with one simple command, but for now, Fedora Atomic is fantastic.
The downsides:
There is one major downside, and its that all of your system files are read-only. Personally, I've found a dozen ways to get around this, it requires thinking inside the Distrobox. It is a notable issue for many people, though. This means you cannot make specific tweaks without making a whole new image for yourself. Though in practice, I have found the ecosystem has grown a lot. Other people have already made the best tweaks available for you with only a few simple commands.
Rpm-ostree also is slow to update because its essentially building a whole git tree to make sure your updates never break and are as stable as possible. You also have to reboot each time you alter it, which can be annoying, but if you stick to flatpaks and distroboxes, this issue is mitigated significantly.
I agree. Fundamentally, you still need good distros to plug into distrobox to make swapping between immutable systems quicker. In general I feel like running Fedora Atomic has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of using distrobox + boxbuddy to get quick and easy installs from AUR or something and saving annoying-to-make configs in a backup file somewhere.
Atomic is also absolutely fantastic for throwing on an old laptop you use rarely. The update will not break after letting it sit for so long without them.
My biggest disadvantage of atomic distros is flatpak reliance too. I hate how bad the terminal interface for managing/running flatpaks is. But I still hope that this will improve in the future.
I think this approach is going to fair the best for mainstream adoption (i.e. Windows refugees). So I would agree that the "future" is going to involve immutable distros as a large, possibly majority, of all Linux installations.
Agreed - for someone moving from Windows / Mac, the immutables and flatpak are the way to go now. It's going to take a bit for the Ubuntu / Mint crowd to change their song. Bazzite in particular is a huge olive branch to the gamers. Even for someone who is "tinkering" learning distrobox and/or flatseal can enable most things you would ever want to tinker with on a desktop. If you are really developing something, chances are that you use containers or a VM anyway.
I have to concur on flatpaks though: they have room for improvement. More validation / trust is needed, and the options are wide open. For non-technical users, the surety and security *isn't necessarily on par with the app stores of Microsoft, Apple & Google - though the *experience is getting there.
Pros and cons on the app store thing. A malicious Windows app probably doesn't have as many hurdles to get the necessary access to take over your system or otherwise cause trouble. To my knowledge, flatpaks can't run with root permissions unless you executed as root (i.e. enter your password). Seeing that pop up should be way more of a red flag than seeing the "elevate permissions" pop up on Windows.
Immutable distros work differently from traditional ones, for which most guides and manuals were written. This is somewhat painful even for those coming from other distros, and it's gonna be a nightmare for those coming from another OS. They didn't even familiarize themselves with Linux yet, and people want them to run flatpaks, distroboxes and work with rpm-ostree or its alternatives. It's like learning to fly by falling from an airplane at full speed.
Immutable options are not for newbie users, at least not in the foreseeable future.
An image-based system would be the bare minimum to achieve basic security, but there would still be so many security issues compared to Android and iOS, that I don’t think Linux phones are worth putting time and development effort into.
AOSP is a fantastic base for open source mobile systems. The FOSS mobile development community should rather shift its focus to AOSP, develop a good understanding of it and get familiar with the code, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with mobile Linux distros.
I've been running bluefin for about a week and I agree. One of the best things about these different distros is they install and configure a lot of things for you. Bluefin installs with flatpak, homebrew, distrobox, podman/docker, devcontainers configured and running on install, good peripheral support, good desktop tweaks, and sensible but easily removable default apps. Bazzite does something similar for gaming installs. It's great. If there are common apps or configs that their users want they try to implement it and get it set up and running on install, if possible. The most friction free linux install I've ever had.
I appreciate your mentioning the downside. I am way too much of a tinkerer for a read-only root to be acceptable for me, but I'm glad you found something you like.
The reason I wouldn’t give advice if you didn’t want it because unwanted unsolicited advice tends to be useless and annoying for most people. If you didn’t want the advice I wouldn’t waste my time.
My advice is to focus on being able to organize your thoughts and write them out in a cohesive structured way.
This helps you:
Express yourself in a clear, understandable, and perhaps persuasive way.
Organize your own personal wants, needs, and desires introspectively.
Both of these are important life skills that are extremely beneficial. Using a LLM to organize and clarify positions is like using a crutch when you should be in physical therapy. On top of this using a LLM completely erases any personality in your writing and replaces it with corpo style speak.
Practicing organizing and expressing your ideas (like physical therapy) can be hard and sometimes painful. But you get better.
Using a LLM is like refusing to go to physical therapy and using crutches for the rest of your life by choice. Easier in the short term but bad for your own quality of life long term.
Places like lemmy are great for writing practice. Rambling nonsense is pretty universally downloaded. Lemmy forces you to organize and classify what you are thinking and why.
If you want to get started I would recommend the basic “5 Paragraph Essay” structure. In the case of a basic lemmy comment take those principles and make it a 5 sentence structure.
I dunno, usually shilling something as hard as possible just means you're a fanboy, it doesn't mean it's as good as you say it is.
I'll wait and see until most people willingly make the choice to immutable distros before believing it's "10/10 the future of linux" or whatever.
Personally, I get annoyed even on regular distros when there's a file that I can't easily edit. I don't really see any of the benefit of immutable distros other than giving the fedora crowd (who loves shilling their OS) a stiffy.
I'm more interested in fixing real issues like having to prepend prime-run to every game I want to use my dedicated GPU or why my IP can leak while connected to a VPN using my system's network configuration.
I really like it as well. I did three major version upgrades so far and they have been flawless. I also really like Flatpak, finally a way of easily installing something on Linux without breaking half of the system because the application you wanted to install uses libfoo 2.0 and not libfoo 1.9.9-patch-1337. With my atomic desktop applications that worked yesterday also work today. Things don't randomly break all the time.
The future of Fedora Atomic also looks exciting; Timothée Ravier is working on sysexts which are a way of installing applications without ostree layering. I could remove most of my ostree layered packages with that.
The biggest issue I've had is tweaks causing instability over time. I also have had some issues where I was updating a debian install that hadn't been updated in 3 years and it broke and would require tweaking to fix (why do this when I can just load a new immutable install and fix it for good?). I have enough computers laying around that I'd really rather it work when I want to as a sure thing. So far my testing with immutable distros has been stellar, I'll let everyone know if my ostree tweaks and updates don't load in 3 years, lol.
I think this is a big enough problem that even the Fedora team considered it an issue and therefore pushed out Fedora Atomic.
Your user configs and home files are never changed when you 'image hop'.
So I have an older Lenovo Laptop that I'm looking to put Linux on to replace an even older Lenovo Laptop I currently have Linux on, and this bit really has me curious about Fedora Atomic. I'm only learning about it now through this post.
I have intermediate experience with Linux, as it's not my daily driver, how far into the deep end would I be plunging if I gave Fedora Atomic a try?
The ublue releases (bazzite/bluefin/aurora) are tweaked to be set up and ready to go with minimal or no set up. You can switch between ublue and the normal fedora atomic distros, or even user customized variants, from what I understand. The root system will change, but anything installed under your user account will stay the same. The only problem that might occur between switching is that different desktop environments might overwrite some settings and cause problems that way. You would want a way to backup your config files just in case if you do a lot of switching.
This also means you can't install multiple desktop environments side by side. Like if you wanted to choose between kde,gnome,xfce at the log in screen, it's not possible under the atmoic distros. When i've done that on regular distros it would always result in a mess, and getting rid of a DE meant a lot of orphaned programs I didn't want, so I avoid doing that, but this is a potential downside to the atomic distros. You would have to rebase and redownload stuff every time you switch DE.
Otherwise they are rock solid and basically designed to get you up and running as fast as possible, and be as stable as possible with seamless background updates. I'm running bluefin, and it's the most user friendly and smooth experience on linux i've ever had.
huh, very interesting. I think I'll give Bazzite a shot and see how it goes. I have an T490 kicking around, but it only has the Intel UHD graphics (no NVIDA Mobile chip, sadly), but on Windows it could handle some gaming. So, I'll be curious to see how it works out. The Bazzite site says it doesn't support the "Steam Gaming Mode", which just means the steam big picture mode.
Ok I've spent a few hours now tinkering and figuring things out, and I totally see the power here. I wanted to install the 1password Linux application and discovered I could do it easily using distrobox, and I wouldn't even know that's how it was running considering the GUI experience is the same as if I had installed it directly on the system.
It really depends on the game. Old games often run better on Linux than on windows. Check protondb to see how supported the game is, may be a driver issue. Old Nvidia parts use proprietary drivers which suck in comparison to old AMD parts which use open source drivers on Linux. New Nvidia parts use open source drivers, though these drivers are new and still having the kinks worked out. Sometimes laptops even have specific proprietary drivers that must be used for the laptop which can break compatibility with Linux or reduce performance. I'm pretty sure Intel is in the same boat, it's proprietary.
Personally, for games I enjoy, I saw a small 5fps performance increase over windows on a newish desktop.
“What I do know is, in little more than 30 years, we have gone from a nation where the “quiet enjoyment” of one’s private property was a sacred right, to a day when the so-called property “owner” faces a hovering hoard of taxmen and regulators threatening to lien, foreclose, and “go to auction” at the first sign of private defiance of their collective will ... a relationship between government and private property rights which my dictionary defines as “fascism.””

A federal judge on Wednesday granted a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration from deporting illegal Asian migrants to the African country of Libya, or any other third world country.
The move comes after lawyers filed an emergency motion earlier in the day, seeking to stop the deportations that were reportedly scheduled for sometime this week. The Trump administration has not formally commented on the plans.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright testified at a House Appropriations subcommittee budget hearing Wednesday. The hearing was one of six budget hearings this week in which department heads discussed President Donald Trump’s fiscal year 2026 budget proposal.
Wright testified that the Loans Program Office at the DOE had issued about $40 billion in loans for energy projects over the last 15 years. But in the last 76 days of the Biden administration, that number jumped to $100 billion.
A new House Intelligence Committee report detailing the politicization of the FBI’s flawed investigation into the 2017 shooting at a GOP congressional baseball practice is just the latest revelation this year showing the mishandling of high-profile investigations by the FBI and intelligence community (IC).

Ils nous disent pourquoi ils veulent un référendum sur l'UE - 2
Dans le cadre de la campagne commune pour un référendum de clarification sur l’appartenance de la France au système de l’Union européenne, une série de courtes vidéos sont réalisées. Elles donnent la parole à des signataires de l’appel pour un nouveau référendum, 20 après le NON au TCE, effacé d’un trait de plume par le congrès qui a adopté le Traité de Lisbonne et a modifié notre constitution. Depuis lors la France est sous le joug de l’Union européenne dont les décisions, textes et traités prévalent et s’imposent aux peuples des pays membres de l’Union européenne.
Aujourd'hui nous vous proposons deux nouvelles vidéos :
Celle de Jean-Loup Izambert, journaliste, auteur de Bilan noir, l'Union européenne contre la France
Celle d'Aurélien Boutet, animateur socio-culturel, élu municipal

For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to "remap" keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.
Secondly there's XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.
Appreciate the link, and I don't mean to sound so ungrateful, but that extensive README contains everything except what exactly river is. Is it a desktop manager? A standalone compositor? What does it fix? What does it replace? etc.
Wayland's been my daily driver for a few years now, mostly without incident. However, occasionally certain applications (Ryujinx and pcsx2, predictably) require the GDK_BACKEND=x11 environment variable to be set before they'll function.
mouse-actions execute some command from mouse events such as clicks/wheel on the side/corners of the screen, or drawing shapes. It's a mix between Easystroke and Compiz edge commands. - jersou/...
I'm too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don't really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce and libreoffice Writer) work fine.
huh? Isn't that the thing that let's me select the DE/Compositor/Server mashup while logging in? It just occured to me that this sounds like circular reasoning, but that's what it looks like it does
RustDesk (remote desktop control) and Barriers (KVM-like server to control my laptop screen from my desktop just by moving mouse to that screen). Both of these are tightly integrated in my daily workflow and would be a hard loss.
There's a modern fork of Barriers but I haven't been able to get it working cross-platform yet. I know RustDesk is actively working to complete wayland support, but it's not quite there yet.
RustDesk on Wayland can't run headless, whichI need (unless they fixed already and I just haven't noticed yet - I know they've been working on it!)
Yeah, Input-leap is the Barriers fork I was referring to. I need it to work on all platforms though, and I wasn't able to get it working on macOS. I keep checking periodically tho (usually in reaponse to posts like these - I wanna move Wayland like everyone else!)
Right now there's an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.
Only happens on Wayland and it's fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.
There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren't properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

In today's conversation with Judge Napolitano, we discussed a number of the observation from my ongoing visit to Petersburg and Moscow that have been the subject of my Travel Notes these past several days.
(David Berger) Wer gedacht hatte, Merz würde sich bei seinem Amtsantritt wenigstens an das Grenzkontrollversprechen halten, der sieht sich nun auch in diesem Punkt auf besonders arglistige Weise vom neuen Bundeskanzler und den Seinen getäuscht.
Father, in this holy season we come to know the full depth of your love. You have freed us from the darkness of error and sin. Help us to cling to your truths with fidelity. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.

These categories are primarily biological, used to navigate legal obligations in a gendered system, and do not directly map onto modern gender identity concepts. While progressive interpretations see them as evidence of gender diversity, traditionalists view them as rare biological variations within a male-female binary.The exact number and meaning remain debated, reflecting the Talmud’s complexity and its varied modern readings.

Though your body may be dead it is because of sin, but if Christ is in you then your spirit is life itself because you have been justified; and if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then he who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to your own mortal bodies through his Spirit living in you.

Anyone who believes that Friedrich Merz, the election traitor, is now our chancellor is thinking too short-sightedly. A second, invisible player has been sitting in the chancellor's chair since yesterday. His name is BlackRock. The very same powerful hedge fund for whose German branch Merz was chairman of the supervisory board for four years. Busy lobbyists have always sought exclusive access to politicians.
However, it's a scandal that an international financial locust has managed to smuggle its own agent into the highest German political office. Will such a Chancellor really make future decisions for the good of the German people? Or, in case of doubt, will he not rather defend the interests of his old connections in the globalist networks? I have a very bad suspicion, but soon we will know more... t.me/christineanderson/1155

I installed a copy of Ubuntu 25.04 into a virtual machine just because I wanted to grab their most recent kernel config for 6.14.x to compare it to my own to try to figure out why my configuration breaks nvidia display.
What a clusterfuck. Now that bastard Poettering has taken over the login function with systemd-logind and what a pile of shit.
From a graphical terminal, with the sole exception of gdm3, I can not login as any user other the one I created at install time, and even with gdm3 I can not login as root.
Window 11 Linux Style Here We Come. Fuck You Canonical. Guess I'm going to be forced, after 14 years, to switch distros again.
Modern Ubuntu (and most other major distros now): Disables root GUI login by default for security reasons. Only the initial user gets desktop access by default unless others are explicitly configured. Geometry Dash
