Before choosing your Linux system, you must understand that rolling releases and fixed-point releases do not behave the same: https://wirekat.com/regular-release-vs-rolling-release-which-linux-distribution-model-is-better/
"Solus is an unusually stable, unusually simple to use rolling release distribution. Everything is pretty straight forward, everything works (at the lower levels), everything installed and updated smoothly."

@rbreich The greatest geopolitical catastrophe since WWII was democracies' 'coupling' (i.e. financing and empowering) with the military-expansionist CCP dictatorship of China in the first place.
USA handing that dictatorship its "Most Favoured Nation" trade status in 1994 and greenlighting its accession to the WTO in 2000.
They were epoch-making *bi-partisan* mistakes, sponsored by your business/donor interests' greed.
Now both sides of your two-party system have to some extent realized what globally powerful monster you created over the last 30+ years.
Trump is a narcissist-fascist moron and his motley crew of sycophant morons are naturally doing it idiotically, but moaning about the fact that the USA is now engaging "trade war" (instead of rightfully moaning about the disastrous tactics!) feels a little rich.
(The CCP was *always* manipulating trade and tech transfers to its sole benefit)
Democrat administrations since the Tiananmen massacre of 1989 at the latest should all have tried building a *global coalition of democracies* that rewarded democracy and shunned all despots.
Instead putin was emboldened watching how the CCP regime got away with literally everything, just like all other dictators. 
This rant wasn't your finest hour.
Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are blowing up global trade. US-China decoupling is now a cliff edge. Allies are furious, markets shaken—and there’s growing suspicion this chaos is fueling insider stock market manipulation #TradeWar #Decoupling #InsiderTrading www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis! Mal bitte den Realitätscheck machen:
Wenn #Musk die #Ukraine mit #Starlink erpresst, um die ukrainischen Bodenschätze zu plündern, dann ist das ein Angriff auf ganz #Europa mit seiner US-Abhängigkeit!
Z.B. kann Trump MS, Apple, & Co. anweisen, uns die Stecker zu ziehen, falls wir ihm beim Angriff auf China "von der Fahne gehen"!
Musks Arschigkeit führt uns vor Augen, dass die #EU gefordert ist, ggü. den #USA #Decoupling & #Derisking zu starten!
Le projet de loi #américain #US #USA, sobrement intitulé " #Decoupling #America’s #Artificial #Intelligence #Capabilities from #China #Act" , va bien au-delà d’une simple régulation technologique, prévoit des #sanctions particulièrement sévères : une #amende d’un #million de #dollars, une #peine de #prison pouvant aller jusqu’à 20 ans, ou les deux, pour quiconque #téléchargerait ou #utiliserait #DeepSeek ..
"Decoupling"? It's possible but extremely unlikely (authors being politic here); "the post-growth field suggests taking a precautionary approach, given the historical record and the rapid narrowing of the window to prevent ecological breakdown. Post-growth, it should be emphasised, does not state that decoupling economic activity from emissions and getting to net zero emissions is impossible, just that it is made harder by economic growth. For energy and material use, which can only be reduced and never brought to zero, the necessary reductions are easier to achieve with post-growth."

Did you ever wonder how to set up a VM dedicated exclusively to dev work, so your computer could remain unaware of node, npm, and any other tool you use regularly?
For the longest time, me too! I'm extremely happy to say that I finally figured it out: https://soledadpenades.com/posts/2025/isolating-developer-environments/

We are especially looking forward to the mini courses:
- An introduction to #DecouplingTheory (Zane Kun Li, North Carolina State University)
- A high-low method in decoupling theory (Changkeun Oh, Seoul National University)
- Counting #RationalPoints Near Manifolds (Niclas Technau, Bonn University)
Won't work like this. (Dualism as vampirism). Realistically both would survive without #higher scanner abilities to a certain degree. Only #decoupling provides progress, individually.
The brave new world is a bit weird but a bit good too #solar #solarsurge #co2 #decoupling
so energy and the economy are intrinsically linked, and so are, currently, CO2 emissions.
when the economy grows so do emissions. when the economy is doing badly emissions plateau or even decline.
that is why we are talking about "#decoupling" GDP from emissions by using low-emission technology.
some people say there is a problem with this line of thinking, which i'll explain in a second.
