  • Pakistan did this thing where they banned rifles (and basically anything not a handgun) without extensive permits for all new gun sales. Then they offered to buy all the guns, which a ton of people traded in for some cash, which greatly reduced the amount of firearms owned by the public.

    It would work great here except there’s a 0% chance the government would want to use money to solve a problem.

    Arch Linux

    Unless you’re on a good downstream like SteamOS, I’d suggest switching to something stable cutting edge (Fedora or Nobara if you want to put in zero effort).

    Arch by itself will give you way the hell too many possible problems. You could waste hours on DKMS alone.

    Mint will also work, but it has the downside of having slower updates to software packages.

    I’m waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.

    It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.


  • I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

    Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn’t make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

    Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

    I’m gonna be honest I’ve never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.

    There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.

    So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.

    Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.
