VSCode doesn't commemorate Passover or Chanukah, though.

See, that's a mistake I could see myself making. I would just assume that OneDrive was making a backup, not tracking the file.

I don't know about Tumbleweed. Garuda isn't difficult, unless you have to troubleshoot something. There are a few things to keep in mind, though:

  1. It's an Arch distro. Arch is considered not beginner-friendly to begin with, and Garuda does some things differently. It's very opinionated, and, like I said, some of the design choices are questionable.

  2. If you need to do anything on the command line, you should be aware that Garuda uses the fish shell instead of bash (which is the standard for Linux distros). You might also want to check out ~/.config/fish/config.fish, because there is some interesting, funny, and weird things in there. For example, ls is aliased to eza.

  3. Do you like macOS? Because that's the default setup: global menu, dock, etc. You can change all that, but it takes a lot of work.

There are a lot of good things about Garuda, though. There is tons of eye-candy. The fish shell is much more enjoyable to use than bash. The chaotic-AUR repository gives you access to even more software than standard Arch repos. And whenever you upgrade, it automatically takes a snapshot of your system, so that if something breaks, you can roll your system back to a previously-working version!

Maybe because healing spells don't work that way? Or maybe that type of spell requires some very rare and/or expensive ingredients. Like, it's magic. You can make up whatever rules for it that you want.

If you're seeing ads on YouTube, you're doing it wrong.

What's your evidence that Democrats "stayed home abnormally this election"?

[–] zarkanian 4 points 1 day ago (21 children)

People have been trying to move the Dems to the left for decades, and look at what we have now.

You're working from a flawed premise. Turnout for this election was high, even among Democrats. Not as high as 2020, but very high.

Turnout in 2024 was about the same as 2020. It wasn't Democrats staying home. Trump simply swayed more voters.

There's gotta be some way to blame the left for Trump winning. Look harder!

Voting in your best interests is dumb, and people should mock you for it. Got it.

Any self-respecting leftist can see that voting is a civic duty. If you can't even vote for your interests at the ballot box, you've failed democracy.
