I've had a manjaro update break an install 3 times in a several year span. Ironically, given the vetted package system, it was the only Linux distro to ever break an install for me.

Since switching to endeavour a couple years ago I've never had an update break anything.

I would think the point was already made: The decision is not environmentally friendly.

That aside, comparing a phone battery to an high-voltage high-amperage battery is a bit of an apples to oranges.

Now I can fight with the awful UX of managing windows within the window, too.

In what way? They're not opaque or mutable (by default).

They can be unwieldy but they do define a pretty strongly typed API.

Crack may have been a poor choice. Many dealers cut crack supplies all the time with other drugs, borax, detergents etc.

Single celled organisms do it all the time, on a local scale.

If you fill a jar with some yeast and sugar water, they'll feast and multiply at an accelerating pace until they've turned their environment toxic.

Painfully analagous to humans.

This was my experience.

I dove into writing a niche game engine and stumbled over every hurdle that modern game engines solve.

Been learning Godot lately and going back to writing an engine I'm confident I could trivally solve a lot of those hurdles.

Additionally, if im trying to make a basic editor I can now see what is tenfold easier graphically (animations) and what I don't mind programming in.

Writing an engine also has made more so much more aware of the implicit decisions of other engines and the "why" behind them. Largely I've come out of the process with much more respect for what they've done so far to get to where they're at.

I solve this problem the exact same way using emails.

e.g. spam@example.com, myname@example.com, myonlinehandle@example.com

RelayBeam essentially flipped the email address to make the domain into the username. Except, it seems less robust.

In an example it says John is a doctor and uses the john@hospital and john@home.

Incidentally John is a popular name. I don't really trust JohnK1984@hospital over the email equivalent john@mylocalhospital.com

The hospital can also have an info@..., support@..., noreply@... How does a business do that with relaybeam? It's going to be hard to have work related comms on a system that is managed by the employee.

I don't need to create multiple emails. I have infinite e-mails:

If you e-mail vidar+[any string]@hokstad.com it works, and I can filter that however I want.

That has worked with multiple providers for 25+ years (both Gmail and Fastmail supports this; my own e-mail service used to support it back in the day, and if there was a corresponding folder it'd deliver straight to that folder), and doesn't require me to explain a new service to people.

And the other 4.99% they do that anyways, in my experience.

Tbf it's almost always applicable. Get more rest, drink more water, exercise and have a better diet, is universally good advice.
