uzay, to linux in Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?

Another point for KDE might be that it works much better on a small screen that may be partially obscured by an overlaid keyboard. I used Bazzite Gnome for a while on the Steam Deck and I much preferred Plasma on there after switching back, despite using Gnome on my main system.

Whether it would work or not wasn’t even the main point of what I said. But that doesn’t matter to you anyway as your strategy to debate seems to be to call others stupid often enough until everyone else understands how smart you are. Good luck with that.

Reaching for an unproven concept of “drilling really deep holes” that’s barely a few years old to convince people there is no problem with long-term storage of dangerous waste we’ve been accumulating for decades, but sure, I’m just a NIMBY.

And for how long to they have to be “safely stored”? For how long do they have to be buried without anyone digging them up? And where are we burying anyway where there is no risk of anyone digging them up intentionally or accidentally, no risk of natural phenomena interfering, no risk of the barrels breaking and nuclear waste seeping into our water? There is a reason why countries have been struggling to find these safe storage spaces for decades. I’d argue that is because there aren’t any.

“Ukraine seems to be fine” is an odd thing to say considering what is going on there in general, but to your point, we can be glad that the fighting around Chernobyl did not do more damage. There’s also a difference in strategy when a country attacks their neighbour to annex their land. If they instead want to mess with a country further away, they can just drop some bombs on their nuclear plants and see what happens.

France has not been at war since they started building nuclear plants and has no solid plan for dealing with nuclear waste either from what I can tell.

The number of people who still think nuclear power is a manageable risk in any capacity is really depressing. We still have no idea what to do with all the nuclear waste we’re creating even now. And that’s not even considering the impact of having a nuclear plant when you’re in a war.

uzay, to opensource in Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved.

I recommend using Newpipe’s own fdroid repo. You’ll get the updates much faster there when something breaks

uzay, to privacy in Thoughts on the Notesnook v3 update?

Sounds great! Still waiting for the self-hosting option though. Even with e2ee I don’t like giving control over my notes out of my hands. And locking things like Tags and Markdown export behind a subscription does not feel like a future-proof solution.

uzay, to linux in What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I have a faint memory of once uninstalling python2 on an Ubuntu system trying to switch to python3. That was a fun learning moment.

uzay, to linux in Is there a way to add "Run as Sudo" to context menu like with Windows?

I would suggest right-click in the folder in your file explorer -> open in terminal -> sudo nano autocomplete file name (tab tab). At least to me that doesn’t seem that much more involved and is safer. Otherwise, as others have noted, there are apparently ways of doing what you want, but it is discouraged for good reasons.

uzay, to privacy in Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?

I would like to have that info for my own photos, but I don’t have location services on unless I need them anyway, so it would be pointless.

uzay, to linux in Is there a way to add "Run as Sudo" to context menu like with Windows?

Not necessarily a satisfactory solution for you, but the usual way to handle that is just using a text editor in the shell with sudo, like nano or vim. It’s pretty fast and easy once you get used to it. I don’t know if there are any good graphical ways of doing it.

uzay, to linux in Is there a way to add "Run as Sudo" to context menu like with Windows?

It is rare that you would want to run an entire GUI program as root, and if it is needed, the program should prompt you for it. Do you have a specific use case where you need to do that regularly?
