I read somewhere that the armor distributes blaster bolt shock through it so all the Stormtroopers get knocked unconscious. They don’t die, otherwise they may as well not wear it at all as they fall over after one blaster bolt.

But as with everything in Star Wars lore, that’s probably a desperate retcon.

When I oopsie in server-side software, I roll it back, hopefully users never see it. When you oopsie client-side software it’s far more likely that users see it and resolution takes order days, not order minutes.

As I am a coward, I only work server-side 🙃

Once I got the hang of connecting Distrobox containers to VS Code, I was really very pleased by the whole setup.

I also thought it pretty incredible that running “ujust update” actually went into my Debian container for Haskell development and it ran “apt update” for me. I couldn’t believe it the first time.

I guess one would have to define "nice", usually it's power:price:weight pick 2. I am assuming that weight is important, otherwise it's just a portable desktop.

Exactly. What's the point? Steam Deck exists and is a more reasonable option for gaming than laptops. Get a Chromebook or MacBook Air and a Deck and save yourself a bunch of cash.

Bazzite will install it for you as part of the setup if you ask for it.

Would love to know how you're dealing with Gnome and HiDPI. I found it really wacky, massive title bars and such. Went to KDE Plasma 6 and it all looks right, but agree it seems a little wonky sometimes. I'm hoping the bugs get ironed out.

You sound like the target audience for Bluefin. I'm running it and it's excellent.

What's the name of this feature for GrapheneOS? I'm not finding it.

My guess is it’s much simpler: some genius at Fujitsu thought it would be helpful if they could remotely log in to machines for support reasons. They (unreasonably) didn’t want to send people onsite and they (reasonably) didn’t think Post Office workers would be able to resolve issues over the phone.

People literally committed suicide over the hounding by the Post Office. People have gone to jail for encouraging suicide. People go to jail for false statements to the police and the court.

Executives get golden parachutes and incompetent contractors keep getting contracts.
