  • FYI if you decide to dual boot at some point you can set Windows to use UTC. It’s even less intuitive than how systemd can be set to local time.

    Also if you can, if you decide to dual boot I recommend separate drives. Windows has gotten nicer but it still doesn’t play well with others because, let’s be honestly, most of the time it doesn’t have to. So if you run recovery if Windows doesn’t boot, it’s not unusual for it to nuke EFI like it’s still the 90s and Win98 just nuked LILO.





  • Oh, I don’t know. There’s lots of towns across the US that only came to be because it was a water stop. And in those towns the tracks still exist and the people living there commute to work.

    The little town I grew up in had a trainyard and that’s why it existed. The yard is gone but there’s still active train lines going through town.






  • Obligatory I use Arch, BTW

    But dependencies for proprietary software are part of why I use the Steam Flatpak. It doesn’t matter what other community and AUR packages are installed, the Steam Flatpak is unaffected by that for the most part.

    I really do think something like Flatpak could lead to more Linux adoption. Package management played an important role but sometimes it can be a hindrance IMHO

    Decades ago I was at the Visitors Center for the Western band of Cherokee and this woman was giving a talk next to a campfire, and the wind kept shifting. She kept moving and finally coughed and then apologized for the smoke blowing in everyone’s faces.

    There was another guy there who was clearly hitting on her, and he said, “they say smoke follows beauty.” With comedic timing the wind shifted and blew the smoke towards him, and she, quick as lightning, said, “Smoke follows wind.”

    (And in case you don’t know, in American English when someone is “windy” they talk a lot and don’t say much)
