This article is frustratingly non-specific. What are they actually planning to do? From the article it seems they’re trying to create a mobile ecosystem to compete with Google and Apple, but on the Mobifree website the “What” section only mentions using “workshops and pilot-tests” with the aim of figuring out how to best improve some existing projects (with the only one specified being /e/OS).
You asked how it works, the post states how it works. You also asked if it’s slow, which is clearly answered in the post (though you didn’t quote that part). You also asked if there’s some “secret sauce” allowing it to be fast, which is also a weird question since everything used is listed in the post.
If something wasn’t clear to you, why not specifically ask about it? Even in this comment, you still don’t specify what you don’t understand. What kind of answer are you expecting to get?
Why not click the link and find out? It’s literally a Mastodon post, you don’t even have to read much.
Have the sanctions against Russia stopped the war? Or did they just harm Russian citizens for a while (while Putin is largely unaffected), while also causing huge economic issues for many countries which used to do business with Russia?
Russia is a huge country with many natural resources and still has good relations with many other countries; sanctions against it could never work.
I don’t support the war in Ukraine, btw.
(Note that the immutable distros will only be represented by Fedora, GuixSD and NixOS. The others are either too niche or immature)
This was my issue with your original comment - I’m aware most of the work on features like these is based on immutable distros, but just being immutable doesn’t mean it will have those features.
When it comes to reproducibility and declarative system management, I think you’re right that they’re only available in immutable distros.
The security benefit of a read-only filesystem isn’t very significant IMO, and for some immutable distros, interesting parts (to attackers, like /etc for example) are mutable anyway.
And I don’t use any snapshot solution currently, but don’t most of them only store the parts that change between snapshots? According to the Arch Wiki, Snapper’s “default settings will keep 10 hourly, 10 daily, 10 monthly and 10 yearly snapshots”. This doesn’t seem like much of an advantage for immutable distros, really.
There’s no need to go over the “consequences” as they’re (as the name implies) consequences of what has mentioned earlier. Hence, as their causes are better than the one found on traditional distros, so are the consequences better than how they’re found on traditional distros.
I disagree with this though. “Better” is very subjective - I for one consider being able to have an up to date system that can have parts of it updated without rebooting to be much nicer than using something like rpm-ostree, even if it is safer to use in theory (I can’t remember the last time I had an issue when installing a package; rebooting to apply an install atomically will likely make no difference to me other than wasting my time). I know I can use containers to get around this, but once again, this just adds to the hassle.
I agree with you, but the issue is groups like Hamas don’t just poof out of existence either; and Hamas has shown they can’t be trusted to act in good faith (before Hamas’ surprise attack, there was actually a fairly long period where it seemed in Israel that Hamas’ is appeased by various benefits given to Hamas and Gazans, like giving some permission to work in Israel, and allowing money from Qatar to enter the strip. Israeli defense in turn moved troops away from Gaza and lowered the combat readiness of the surrounding areas, which led to the disaster on the 7th of October).
And unfortunately, I don’t see Hamas allowing a more reasonable group to from in Gaza while they’re still in power.
Hell, with time, effort, and prosecuting those who perpetuate the violence, the Palestinian people could be allies.
I hope I’ll be alive to see this
I guess I’d define it as a distro where the base system is read-only and changes or updates to it are done by replacing it atomically.
Fact of the matter is that the immutable variants of these features are far and wide superior over their counterparts found on traditional distros.
How exactly? Just saying it doesn’t make it true. Except for atomic updates (which are basically the main point of these distros, and why they’re also called “atomic”), what can they do that you can’t on a normal distro?
(Note that you won’t reap all of these benefits on all atomic/immutable distros.)
That’s because most of these benefits are not a result of a distro being immutable.
IMO crunch has no excuse; it is a decision that benefits the business while hurting the workers.
“A few weeks” of crunch translates to hundreds of extra working hours.
Where do you think Israel gets the materials to actually produce their weapons?
Also, I’m not aware of any Israeli politician that claimed this (there was one time recently where a bunch of headlines claimed Bibi said “we will fight with our fingernails”, but it was taken out of context).
From some of your comments in here I think you have trouble seeing the enormity of what is happening to your fellow human beings in Gaza right now.
You’re likely right to some extent, but do consider that not all of what you hear happening in Gaza is actually true.
In contrast to probably 99% of Lemmy, I actually served in the IDF, I even have friends who are currently in Gaza. I know a lot of reports by the “Gaza Health Ministry” (Hamas) are straight up bullshit, I know for a fact that UNRWA has been infiltrated by terrorists (even if people around the world find this hard to believe).
I also highly suspect that either the IDF or the government has decided to be much less careful in this war (when it comes to making sure innocents are safe), which I think is terrible.
But I also don’t see a way forward for the state of Israel without the destruction of Hamas, because otherwise we will just repeat this in a few years, and I don’t think Hamas will stop attacking us even if we are sanctioned by most of the world (I also fear that in such a scenario, a government might rise to power in Israel which is much more extreme than even now).
Yeah
I was talking about protests against violent acts against Jews (since the first comment in this chain about protests was specifically asking where are the Israelis protesting the genocide).
However, I’ve thought about it some more and it’s unreasonable of me to assume those protesters don’t care about Hamas’ terrorism, just like I think it’s unreasonable to assume Israelis protesting the government don’t care about what’s happening to Gazans.
Correct, I’m not arguing this fact. I replied to someone who made a ridiculous claim that all Israelis are complicit, because we voted for this government, I was just trying to highlight that this is unreasonable in my edit, but it wasn’t very clear.
I don’t support “collective punishment” against anyone, ever… The top comment in this thread is mine, where I literally wrote Bibi allied with terrorists. How did you reach the conclusion that I agree with how the war is being handled?
I disagree that Israel is comitting Genocide though, and I’m not the only one. Who will decide when the sanctions will end?
Also, the sanctions against Russia don’t work. Sanctions agajnst Iraq led to millions of innocent civilians dying. Iran is still advancing their nuclear program. Kim Jong Un is still in power.
That’s how sanctions work.
Historically, that’s rarely been the case.
Only 34% of Israelis voted for this government in the last election.
70.63% of Israelis voted in the last election (and it’s worth noting that around 85% of ultra orthodox Jews in Israel voted).
The vote was almost a tie between the current coalition parties and the current opposition parties (it didn’t end up being a tie due to dumb disagreements between two small left-wing parties, which led to one not passing the threshold at all this time around).
Likud got 23.41% of the votes. Yesh Atid (Yair Lapid’s party) got 17.79%. 10.84% went to Religious Zionism (Ben Gvir and Smotrich’s party). 9.08% went to Ganz’s party. 8.25% went to the Sephardic ultra orthodox party, 5.88% went to the Ashkenazi one. 4.48% went to Yisrael Beiteinu (Liberman’s party). The United Arab List got 4.07%. Hadash (far left party) got 3.75% of the vote. Labor got 3.69%. Merez (a left wing party) and Balad (a secular Palestinian party) were only a few thousand votes from passing the threshold, getting 3.16% and 2.91% of the votes, respectively.
Often when it seems one of Merez or Labor won’t pass, they join forces (also true for other small similar parties). This time around they didn’t, and Bibi used that chance to create a horrendous coalition which most Israelis aren’t happy with, which isn’t surprising when you consider that it got only 48.38% of the total vote. When you consider that only ~70% actually voted, you get that the actual percentage of Israelis which voted for this coalition is around 34%.
Our political system is a mess, I know.

Edit: Btw, Gazans voted for Hamas, too.
but we did have to do a bit of crunch. And I think, to be honest, you will always have a little bit when you’re trying to finish something, especially when there’s so much complexity that needs to be brought together.
What does doing “a bit of crunch” even mean? Crunch means you’re (practically) forced to work overtime, there is no excuse for this IMO. The game was on early access for a while, surely they could’ve delayed its full release by a bit to prevent this.
You seem to know very little about Israel’s history (considering we made peace with both Jordan and Egypt, which are two countries which attacked us first).
Maybe you should try reading a bit of history before writing nonsense
/e/OS always seemed kinda pointless to me (the OS itself is just LineageOS + MicroG, which is easily available at https://lineage.microg.org), but I didn’t realize they are actually being malicious, too.
