EndeavourOS is very close to being vanilla arch with sane defaults. I run it on multiple machines and it’s rock solid.

Not only do I miss nothing from Windows, but also the decisions MS has made each and every year since I dumped them has only increased my conviction that I made the right move in doing so. Not one time have I read a MS/Windows headline and felt I was somehow missing out on anything I would ever want to be a part of.

I’m kind of amazed they admitted this. Under any other president I’d have been slightly surprised they admitted it, but with Trump lackeys in charge of seemingly everything at the federal level I’m outright stunned that they admitted it.

Good points, especially this one:

To me, the fact that it happened nowhere near Iran is the bigger deal. It means that parts of the world that aren’t aligned with either side in the war now have to wonder what might explode in their own territory.

I skipped right over that but it’s part of it for sure.

I just learned that five minutes ago, and it really does make it even worse.

It feels different in a few ways to me. One, it feels much more personal and “fuck you in particular.” It’s one thing to lob missiles at a base and fuck whoever happens to be there, but you KNOW there’s a real possibility that you kill every mother effer on that ship if you hit it with a torpedo.

I’m not articulating it very well, but it’s just got a different sort of cruelty that something like shelling an airbase just lacks for me.

This sinking seems like a really big deal to me, but I don’t feel like it’s been treated that way. Everyone seems to react like it’s just another example of Trump being shitty, and it is, but also, we sank another country’s warship with a torpedo. That seems pretty momentous no matter what country it was.

So bleak and so accurate at the same time.
