No. It goes through Global South countries and gets converted to "freedom" gas. Like say, Turkey, Azerbaijan, India, China, even Belarus and Hungary, I think.

So basically, Hasanabi for boomers?

Never seen this animation. Is it similar to 'Land of the Lustrous"?

One million dollars can't do jack shit to "fix" this world. It's like telling the doctor to put an adhesive bandage over a third-degree burn.

It's the same fucking guy, jumping between different instances. What a sore loser they must be.

This image is misinformation. That's not a filesystem, that's a layout standard called the FHS. Filesystems are FAT32, BTRFS, EXT4, etc.

[-] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This is the FHS layout, which is one of the common layout style for Unix-like OSes, and it has nothing to do with Linux or filesystems in general. Misleading information. GoboLinux has what they call the GoboLinux hierarchy layout, that adheres to NeXTSTEP or BeOS. Nix and Guix has the Store hierarchy layout, wherein, everything is contained inside a store directory. Filesystems include FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, BTRFS, Bcachefs or EXT1/2/3/4, just to mention a few examples.

Apologies for being defensive, I accept that I am in the wrong here - I had to assume the worst owning to the silent-toxicity through down-votes, because they've assumed internally that I've called their favorite distro just the "same" as the distro that they probably hate.

A "traditional" Linux follows a FHS build, comes with a general package manager that is usually centralized, and can have one version of a program. You can only have one version of a particular program for the given OS version, and may have to use tools like venv or asdf to use older versions. Examples include Debian and Fedora, as well as it's derivatives. These traditional distros come with profiles, or flavours, like KDE, GNOME, or some other desktop environment.

GoboLinux is the original Linux OS that deviated from the FHS layout. With this, now you could have multiple versions of the same applications alongside, without having conflicts. ClearLinux (from Intel) and CachyOS (independent) are distros that build optimized binaries. I've not delved much into either of them, but I would like to think that having a tuned distro is quite nice.

Henceforth here, most of the distros can be called as meta-distibutions. These are distros that are a little "flexible" when it comes to installing. There's no pre-defined profiles and flavours, but this also means that you have control over what you can choose to install. Examples include Arch, Void, Gentoo and their derivatives.

Of these, Gentoo (back then - this does not hold true today) and Void are special in the sense that they came with the most barebone stuff, and you had to use their tooling to build Linux, as well as the entire desktop and application from scratch. I am not sure who the target audience might be, but I'm assuming that most probably this includes people who don't trust repositories or substitute servers.

NixOS and Guix are functional, transactional and declarative distros that provides you with isolation via ephemeral shells - which can be either pure or impure, store-based file layout (hash, followed by package name and version) and the option to host containers and virtual machines within the OS as a neat in-built feature. Each time you "build", you create your own distro generation, based on your own config, with the option to switch between them, without having to reboot. The store-based file layout was probably an inspiration from GoboLinux.

SerpentOS is a new experimental OS in development - from what I know, these folks have embraced memory-safe languages for their tools. Another cool features is that the packaging it is quite nice and uses the well-known YAML format, as an alternative to Arch's PKGBUILD or Fedora's spec. There's a lot of experimental stuff that I am not following, but it also shares some features with immutable distros. T2 SDE (not T2Linux, my bad) is another such meta-distro that I am aware of, but I haven't delved into it. It is being developed by Rene Rebe. There's also other cool distros, like for example Bedrock Linux, or Slackware, but I don't follow them a lot, so I can't speak for them.

Which one? Is that a FiiO-branded player? They also sell those machines with balanced jacks.

I've eaten the powder raw to not fall asleep during my board examination. Either that or filter kaapi. I must confess, coffee is my favourite ice-cream flavour.

Is that you in the right picture?

I was never able to bond with my classmates or teachers from my school, and the primary reason involving economic hierarchy. I was that forgettable weirdo, who would be the butt of laughter, and that was how I used to cope with classmates I could not relate to, and hated dearly - by creating a joker persona, and lying to them with a mask hiding my true feelings for them. Well, I don't follow anyone on any social media for my own sanity - well, I don't have any social media account, to begin with. No Facebook, no WhatsApp, no Insta, no Snapchat, no Discord, no Twitter - basically, none of those. Just Lemmy and a Gmail account, that's it.

Today, out of sheer curiosity, I was reminded of a person from my senior grade, and I tried looking about them. And since I don't have an account, I tried to stalk them on Google - which is almost useless, because unless you're famous, or have a blog written for you, you'll not show up. Except that there was a blog written in one of those Ivy university pages, with their picture, and how they've got VCs sucking their toes.

Maybe I shouldn't have tried this stupid experiment, because this hit me hard like a truck, and I don't think I'll be able to recover from this. For context, they are an American citizen, who were also my classmate in one of the senior schools in Mumbai. They got into a really good university. They have completed multiple cool internships a few years ago, in big MNCs. They have co-founded a cool AI company associated with the service industry (the same that will steal low-skill-requirement, crappy-wage jobs), and partnered with other rich tech-nepo-babies from Ivy leagues, and life seems to be just great for them in the expensive part of California - which, coincidentally, their Indian-origin dad and mom bought multiple houses and other properties for them way back around the 90s, again, in Bay Area. So in a way, they're doing insanely well than the average American.

But me? I've graduated a crappy, no-name uni. I've quit my crappy exploitative "intern-shit" last January after barely working for three months, and remained unemployed to this day. I've yet to find an "internship", because sure as hell they'll not be hiring someone like me in a congested IT market like India, without any proof of experience. Don't have any ancestral property, or that dead, rich uncle from Switzerland. I've tried my best for an entire year, only for the dominoes to crumble down all over me. In a few days, I'll be 24, and I'm pretty sure this feeling of dread, failure and shame will worsen exponentially.

FML, FR.
