The cannabis plant when left to itself doesn’t create much THC (which is what gets you high), but it is very useful for making rope and clothing, as well as oil and other products. Only when you make sure that you only have female plants (and take care of them in a certain way) do they produce lots of THC.

So just because the plant is growing somewhere doesn’t mean that someone is smoking it.

That’s a good point.

I agree that that solves some problems, 100%. But I’ve seen the downward slide of society take hard-fought civil rights away for several decades now. It’s never a sudden process, it always starts small and then slowly grows.

This is just the beginning, and it should be fought against with tooth and nail now, not just postponed so that we have to deal with this issue once the fascists already have some momentum.

That does nothing to address the issue. What happens when the requirement is adopted elsewhere? Just keep excluding territories?

It seems like a simple fix, but this would play right into the hands of the corporate overlords. And California is not some tiny state.

If California were an independent nation, it would rank as the fourth largest economy in the world in nominal terms, behind Germany and ahead of Japan.

Thanks for sharing. I’m too paranoid, as I have very little free time to fix stuff if it breaks. Still good to know.

Yes, that’s exactly how RPM works. it’s supposed to be a last resort if options like distrobox or homebrew can’t deliver what you need. It can break stuff if you are not careful.

Anyway, then I’d definitely go with silverblue.

Silverblue is what I’m putting on my partner’s older PC, the fact that it atomic is a big plus-point.

Be warned though, some less common non-cli packages are more difficult to install. If your SO needs something along those lines, mint may be better.

For example, nordVPN has a nice GUI interface, but it has no appimage or flatpak, so it won’t work on silverblue without modifying the ostree. That’s not a good idea, so on my (bazzite) PC I have installed a simple openVPN GUI package, and set it up to use our nordVPN account. It works fine, but it’s not a pretty map-based interface, just a giant list of servers.

Well that’s certainly a big plus point.

I use obsidian extensively, and I love it. It certainly does seem to use WAY more system resources than it should though, and I assume that electron is to blame. It’s a shame they didn’t base it on a different framework.

Perhaps someone who knows more about web development can explain what sort of upsides electron brings with it.
