们 北方人过的都是什么好日子

夏天不需要空调
冬天室内保持二十几度穿短袖

？？？？？

我永远记得，上海的装修节目去北京装修，房主对冬天的制暖效果不满意说太冷了会生病
我看了眼冬天室内温度十几度。我当时想法就是：是不是找茬，十几度还不够还有说会生病。
然后发现那边室内都是二十几度

感觉很浪费能源

上海冬天，我在家都穿羽绒服来着

Capcom games always had very good soundtracks, which you can tell were made by talented people who wanted to make more than just cookie cutter video game background music. They are catchy and you remember them years after you played the games. It's really sad that this company has been completely corrupted by western parasites and also by their own greed. :senkocry:

Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLC

I realized my VLC was broke some point in the week after updating Arch. I spend time troubleshooting then find a forum post with replies from an Arch moderator saying they knew it would happen and it's my fault for not wanting to read through pages of changelogs. Another mod post says they won't announce that on the RSS feed either. I thought I was doing good by following the RSS but I guess that's not enough.

I've been happily using Arch for 5 years but after reading those posts I've decided to look for a different distro. Does anyone have recommendations for the closest I can get to Arch but with a different attitude around updating?

IMHO the actual problem here is the Arch moderator being an ass.

This happens in all operating systems from time to time. An update kills an app. Usually, the app is wildly out of date and hanging on to the last vestiges of a deprecated call that finally gets removed. I recently experienced this with V4L (for OBS virtual camera) and a kernel update in NixOS. Had one hell of a time tracking it down. It was one of the twice-yearly OS upgrades. Luckily, I had only updated one of my devices, and it still worked on the old one. After tearing apart the changes, I was finally able to specify V4L and a Linux kernel version. Immediately, the problem popped right out. The new kernel now needs a specific value passed for the expected video stream, where it used to use a default if it wasn't specified.

Apple breaks apps all the time. Windows does, but less so. The difference is usually before an update happens, Windows and Apple have had TONs of people testing on their own teams and their insiders people.

In the end, I just needed to roll back the kernel one revision until the V4L guys make the change, or I needed to recompile V4L myself with the option defaulted to something useful.

I don't think you can safely get away from this kind of issue. (app incompatibility on upgrade, not mods being an ass)

Debian or Mint seem to be pretty welcoming and easy going to get rid of the asshole issues, but chances are, you're going to break something eventually, and it's going to be super hard to figure out why and how to get around it.

Off-topic: A meta-analysis if you will, but I'm just astonished by the engagement this post has received. I wonder what this tells us about the Linux community on Lemmy.

On-topic: OP, honestly, others have chimed in and left very good answers already. So perhaps you won't find anything within my comment that hasn't been said. But, as I'm a latecomer to this thread, I might have an advantage that some didn't (try to capitalize on). To be blunt, the original post didn't reveal much about what you liked and didn't like about Arch. As such, my initial impression would have been to suggest Gentoo. But, you've since provided the engaging community crucial insights that help us in grasping the full picture. Below you may find my own notes on your distro preferences based on what you said:
- care-free updates
- repo packages receive updates shortly after upstream
- rewards effort put into initial setup

Furthermore, I'll take the liberty to assume that (native) package availability is expected to be vast. And that you wish for the process of updating to be snappy.

Based on the above, I recommend NixOS.

If jumping ship to NixOS seems too daunting, then consider installing Nix^[To be clear, I meant the package manager. Determinate System's installer is probably your best option.] on Arch. Consider to slowly but surely expand its usage within your system. And, then, when you're comfortable, embrace NixOS as a worthy successor to your Arch installation.

A dead man switch is easier to pull off today than ever before. Why has no one ever use one? Are there any examples?

The thing that brings this to mind is Alan Dershowitz being absolutely 100% confident he knows names and details of clients from the Epstein list. But he won't say because he has an order from a Judge. He's 86. If this man doesn't dump every name upon his death bed I'm going to be really pissed.

Word on the street is that the Land Trust which was concerned about The Dollar General situation, heard about our efforts to repopulate the fields with Bobwhite Quail, as well as our wildlife friendly preservation of a major Whitetail Deer trail and our conservation minded tree planting of American Chestnut and American Elm and that moved the vote to acquire the property.

Sometimes doing the right thing pays off in the end.

I just got some FANTASTIC personal news!

The Dollar General that was in the works for going up next to my orchard-homestead is no longer in play.

Instead the local Land Trust is buying the fields beside and out behind my orchard-homestead and those fields are going to remain undeveloped as a nature preserve.

Furthermore on the other side of my orchard-homestead, the neighbor who sold the above property to the Land Trust, has secured a tax easement from the state for a good portion of his remaining property to remain undeveloped.

Now my neighbor and I are completely surrounded by nature preserves.

I cant see my neighbor, but I can sometimes hear a loud noise from over that way. There are thick woods between us in a low area that is often water logged.

Everyone says that #PitBulls get a bad rap. That it's not the #breed's fault that it's the #owners fault who #train them to be #aggressive and #vicious.

That may all be true.

Cihuahuas are pretty fucking aggressive. Daschunds are literally bred to fight badgers.

So tell me... when's the last time you heard of a Chihuahua or Daschund that killed its owner and kept police and paramedics from responding?

Hell, what about #BullMastiffs even?

It's because you never have. And yet, pit bulls ... right or wrong ... get all the headlines.
