That's where the Door to Hell (Darvaza Gas Crater) is!

This reminds me of this video from Climate Town that discusses how the Right can purposely (or accidentally) misinterpret data so that it better aligns and agrees with their pre-existing worldview.

Yes. It's extremely helpful when I'm doing a refactor and can just go TAB TAB TAB TAB Oops not that TAB TAB done. Saves me a lot of time with the boilerplate, but is very bad at the logic portions.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It was an interesting and in-depth read.

I have moderate Linux experience. I used it in University and can do basic things in the terminal, but I don't have the best foundational Linux knowledge. My laptop is currently on Opensuse TW and was wondering if it was worth keeping it, or if my life would be simpler on an immutable distro.

I would like to use it for programming, game development (Godot) and music production (Reaper / MuseScore and Kontakt). Getting these working in Opensuse was finicky, but I got it done, and now I'm wondering if it's worth blowing that up to start over.

Thanks again!

It doesn't make sense that this would backfire, because Trump and his supporters are perfectly capable of holding conflicting viewpoints like this.

It's totally reasonable to expect that this would be morally reprehensible when Democrats do it, but reasonable and a smart business move when a Republican does it.

KDE Linux has an “immutable base OS”, shipped as a single read-only image. Btrfs is the base file system, Wayland is the display server, PipeWire is the sound server, Flatpak gets you apps, and Systemd is the glue to hold everything together.

I've been interested in the immutable OSes like Bazzite, but I haven't tried any yet. Anyone else have experience with it?

This is a great point, and one I overlooked. Thanks for sharing!

Well if the crops are going bad, you don't need to hire the truckers to move the produce, you don't need to hire the grocers to sell the produce, and you don't need to hire the chefs to cook the produce.

The article doesn't address this though, rather:

Job openings decreased in health care and social assistance by 181,000, in arts and entertainment by 62,000, and in mining and logging by 13,000.

Which doesn't say that it's directly related. Health care and entertainment jobs reducing is probably more indicative of Americans spending less on discretionary spending either because of economic hardship or the expectation of economic hardship.

Mining and logging losses could be tariff related, or possibly in response to softening demand for primary inputs.

When the requirements say "when an exception occurs, create an alert with the exception".

Today down 1.37%, but up 7.14% overall for the week.

Looks like Houston is 11.5 and San Francisco is 4 per 100k.
