It’s dead now, but Apricity was the first distro I really enjoyed the look of. Now I know better than to care about out of box appearance.

Lol, changing the country of origin doesn’t constitute innovation from a consumer standpoint…
Now if this was using 5nm or chiplit or any of the other buzzwords of the day it could be marketed as innovative in the modern sense of the word.
Realistically there is no innovation left for ARM platforms. They all use the same core schematics. They only control data flow and peripheral IP as a manufacturer, unless they feel like building their own core from the spec (nobody really does that anymore as ARM has been desperately trying to standardize everything). The most “innovation” I’ve seen has come from stubbornness around keeping legacy bus architecture around instead of adopting AXI (even when all the IP they are trying to use already uses AXI and they keep having to make translation hardware).
Fuck it. Gun it at the brick wall. Jerry’s rigging up an emergency break as we speak. Don’t mind that the last piece to said break may be missing.

Bash, just because everything else already uses it. That and bashisms have infected nearly all of my scripts as I clumsily bump into the limitations of POSIX string manipulation.
I have found some very fun things with sed branching patterns as a result of these limitations though…

I was working at a company at one point that got a contract to build something I viewed equivalent to malware. Immediately I brought it up to several higher-ups that this was not something I was willing to do. One of them brought up the argument “If we don’t do it someone else will.”
This mentality scares the shit out of me, but it explains a lot of horrible things in the industry.
Believing in that mentality is worse than the reality of the situation. At least if you say no there’s a chance it doesn’t happen or it gets passed to someone worse than you. If you say yes then not only are you complicit, you are actively enforcing that gloomy mentality for other engineers. Just say no.
Publicly traded corps just saw the letter “p”, assumed profit, and announced a 5 year plan to discover the rest of that sentence. Their shareholders are still upset it took them a whole letter before they had a plan…
Depending on the launcher and launch method you may need to set systemd variables. Look at the way 50-systemd-user.conf
works

I use the following fragment to make sure the cursor theme propagates to applications launched with wofi: https://github.com/StaticRocket/dotfiles/blob/main/dot_config/sway/systemd-user.conf
Some of them advertised specific performance improvements.
I’m not going to rag on them though. Some of them did have performance improvements and basically created the tools and optimized defaults that propagated to standard distros, allowing the gap to close.
For people using bash that are thinking “how do I do that”:
The bash-complete
package adds the _command
function for recursive completion on commands that accept other commands with their own arguments. It’s what sudo uses last I checked. You can add complete -F _command stfu
to your bashrc to link it to the stfu command.

To me on the security side of things caddy has a feature I have yet to see anywhere else: default reverse proxy headers.
Got something you want to lock down remote js loading on unless it explicitly requests an override? Default the variable to a locked value. The application can override it with it’s own header as necessary.

Search telemetry in a web browser is absolutely insane. I can understand more usage statistics but search telemetry just makes it sound like they want data on who to make an offer to for the next default search provider slot.
Or worse yet, another half-assed partnership with some sketchy 3rd party with a completely fucked moral compass and a privacy policy to match.
Good video going over practical pros and cons currently:
I don’t get people being worried about an offline application designed to run one shot as the current user not receiving updates. I do get maintainers dropping the package from package repos now that it is officially archived though…
Googles requirements for ARM cores on Android was pretty high. Don’t think I’ve seen a RISC-V core get close yet…
I wish nginx had the concept of default header values for reverse proxies…
I mean, you can kind of do it with macros but man…
Cool, saw your logs just a while ago with the error about being unable to execute /bin/sh so I figured as much. What did you do to get there? I’ve never had an update fumble that hard…
Try rolling back that comment kiddo

That warning comes up if you are using sd-vconsole but do not have systemd in the mkinitcpio hooks. You should fix that but it is most likely unrelated to the login issue.
Login issues normally hint at either the user shell or pam configs being wrong but you can also get this behavior if (the users home directory is on a secondary disk && that disk failed to mount && you aren’t using systemd-homed).
Out of box experience is a personal preference. It always has been. Every person expects something different so I don’t really care about it anymore.
