I think you’re better off finding tools which work for your particular language, application, workflow etc. For me I use nix and direnv to create directory based declarative package sets that load upon cd’ing to a project’s folder. This allows me to have exact versions of the packages I need regardless of system packaging or versions used in other projects. Some people prefer spinning up containers for this role, often using tools like distrobox. If the language you’re working in has good version management tooling then you can also just use that

Mozilla.social no longer exists, Mozilla took it down

There is a Unity variant that’s still maintained

Will Gaza even be habitable in 50 years after a Harris presidency? She has not vaguely aligned herself with current policy, she has pledged to maintain current rates of weapons shipments and support Israel to the hilt in their genocide. Any talk of ceasefire from Biden or Harris is meaningless because 1) they redefined ceasefire in their messaging to mean a hostage exchange 2) they are actively maintaining the military capabilities of Israel and therefore materially opposing ceasefire. Biden and Harris both CHOOSE not to make a call and end this genocide. They are as complicit as Netanyahu and exactly as dangerous as Trump

Random applications that use the play integrity API won’t work on any third party OSes or ROMs. For example I tried to install some Intuit app on my GOS Pixel a while back (credit karma I think?) and it didn’t work at all

Yes sanction yourself that’ll help you become the imperial hegemon again lmao

Mostly LibreWolf, but I’ve been enjoying Zen Browser recently. It’s based on Firefox but with lots of cool extra functionality baked in. It is still in alpha though and I’ve experienced some bugs, including it crashing my whole system a couple of times, but it’s very promising

Recently, uBlue. It’s more a family of fedora atomic images but it has taken the pain out of immutability for me. I was using Fedora silver blue and later Sericea a while back, but installing codecs from RPMfusion on it never worked properly and my hw acceleration was always broken. I was on NixOS for a while but had sporadic problems that come with NixOS not using an FHS structure. But uBlue just works. Hardware acceleration works out of the box, and I can easily create custom images with BlueBuild. It’s a very nice ecosystem to create a stable, secure, complete base system. And I run nix on top of it for user packages and home-manager to get all the benefits of both worlds

Check out Wayblue, they make some custom universal blue images based off fedora silverblue which includes a hyprland image. I’m running a modified way blue image myself these days and loving it. Technically it’s a secureblue image based on a way blue image but yeah same difference

Was using NixOS but just could not deal with lack of FHS compatibility. Even the workarounds like nix-ld and nix-alien didn’t help with some key scripts I needed to run for secure network verification stuff. So I just migrated to this plus nix/home-manager for my application management

If it’s something that will be mostly interacted with over CLI then kebab case. If GUI then spaces

There is no set of standard grammatical rules for any language. There are current standards for existing dialects, and they change all the time. The strict and steadfast rules of a Londoner’s English are different from those of a Bostonian’s English or Californian’s English. And go back fifty years and those rules in all of those places were different still. Your prescriptivist nonsense is not based on material reality, and you are using it to justify nothing short of your racist prejudices

There is a fully Rust based Unix-like OS out there, it’s called Redox and it’s very cool
