Glad to hear you got it working!

Yep, NixOS as a base + some Flatpak store for installing apps. In fact, use impermanence to just drop all OS state apart from logs, network settings and flatpaks. That way, "turn it off and then on again" will almost always work to fix the OS.

Seconded, it somehow manages to lag on my overclocked 5950X w/ 64GB of RAM. (this may be related to the Dark Mode extension or some shit, however it's still absolutely inexcusable)

Nobody deserves the death penalty. It's just cruelty with no benefit for the society. Studies show, time after time, that it has little to no deterrent effect. Its only purposes are either narrow-minded vengeance or preventing a person from being freed once the current government fails.

That said, I'm all for confiscating all wealth from anyone worth over a billion dollars and placing them under arrest until they can effectively demonstrate they are no longer a parasite on the society.

The issue is that network-online.target does not necessarily mean that you actually have internet access, it usually just means that you have an IP address. I've found that it can take a dozen seconds to actually get internet connectivity, depending on your setup. As a hack, you can add while ! ping -c1 ghcr.io; do sleep 1; done or similar to PreStart of your container services.

Since this actually sounds like a good decision... Over/under on Trump promising to double the amount of nukes and turn China into a nuclear wasteland unless they do something for him, by the end of next week?

Given the rate of executions during Trump's last tenure, I think it's feasible he would've crucified Jesus for the crime of existing while brown, if given the chance

Still kind of interesting that those conditions are satisfied here, and (according to the article) it does indeed suggest that the song is learned rather than genetic. I wonder if there are studies for other animals, e.g. ones for which we know that their communications are passed down genetically.

Just use OsmAnd. It's old-school in terms of its UI and can be clunky, but it's FOSS, has hourly map updates (free for OSM contributors), and a lot of customization and features.

It's kind of a malicious compliance thing. The new name will not show up on any map renders, moreover it's not likely to be shown in most apps even if you select the object (because official_name:* is not supported by most apps).

The fact it doesn’t show you the best match of your search based on distance by your location (or is because)

That highly depends on the search engine you're using, OsmAnd for example sorts the search results by distance to your location.

It doesn’t show the 2 places I sent ~1 month ago or they’re hard to find (available on site, not on organic maps)

That's an Organic Maps problem, they only update the OSM database once a month, and you have to click the update button manually when they do so.

I kinda recommend against Organic Maps at this point. It's a dumbed-down app with bad routing, bad search, and slow updates. The only thing it has going for it is that it has the best UI/UX (especially for new users) compared to other FOSS openstreetmap apps. If you're ok with proprietary nonsense, mapy.cz is a lot more fleshed out, and otherwise you should just learn and configure OsmAnd for yourself.

Keep following the train of thought. If a good system requires well meaning, educated, active members to keep it going, then a good system is one that produces those people.

That is naturally the case. I'm mostly arguing against the idea that the current system is bad because "your rights can be taken away". Capitalism is bad because its sole purpose (as in "The purpose of a system is what it does") is redistribution of wealth and power from the poor to the rich, or from working class to owning class if you will.
