Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.
Yeah, that always seemed like a transitional name to me. The BSA branding has been so prominent historically, they kinda had to keep it for a while.
I agree with most of your points, but I don’t know, I think I would keep the reverent in the scout law, even if the oath changed.
As a (nonreligious) scout, I always interpreted the reverent more as being respectful than actually religious. More like respecting the beliefs of others, or being respectful and solemn in a cemetery or a war memorial.
There’s nothing else in the scout law that conveys that feeling, and I feel like the law would be missing it if it were dropped.
Yep, the captchas are great. I’ve got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.
Endeavour’s current iso is still KDE 5 and X11, but if you do an online install it will default to 6 and Wayland. Just make sure to connect to the Internet before starting the installer.
I think they’re rationalizing it by saying that’s a juvenile sandworm. The larger one with the round mouth is fully grown.
They probably just wanted a design difference between a smaller human scale threat and the massive ones that eat entire structures like spice harvesters.
Spotify has almost every song on the planet
Until a contract negotiation with UMG goes south and they lose half the catalog overnight. See what’s happening on tiktok right now for a good example of this.
I understand the convenience draw, but I’m not a fan of continually paying for content that can disappear at any moment.
Yes, but the word rewrite implies that it would serve the same function and retain compatibility.
If someone wrote a new implementation of the x protocol, as a drop in replacement for the existing x.org server, you might call that a rewrite.
Wayland is an entirely different solution to the same problem. It doesn’t follow the x protocol, and doesn’t maintain compatibility with the x.org server.
It is, but as far as I understand, you can disable some of it depending on your coreboot/libreboot setup.
Coreboot is open source, but when you build the rom for your machine, you have to pack in closed source blobs for Intel me, and any other proprietary parts of the chip.
I’m not up to date on current happenings with libreboot, but the goal there was to get it working 100% open source, without closed source blobs.

They were buying water from Detroit’s water system. In order to save money, they switched to getting it from the nearby river, but they failed to account for how the new water source would interact with their pipes. They didn’t treat the new water correctly and it corroded all their old lead pipes, dumping lead into the water and giving everyone lead poisoning.
Even years later, after they switched back to Detroit water, they’re still having problems because the damage to the pipes is already done.
I get why you would want that, but I think that would end up causing other weird issues. Like what happens when someone from that instance is in the middle of a comment chain? Would it cut off the thread there, or would there just be a comment missing?
I’ll take the simple solution over no solution.
I disagree. Not everyone wants to spend the time to completely customize their system. Distros like Manjaro and Endeavor give people a decent “just works” install while still giving them experience with the Arch ecosystem. The forums are usually a good resource, and everything on the arch wiki still applies. It might just be because I had previous linux experience, but I’ve learned a lot running Manjaro.
The average person is not going to jump straight into vanilla Arch as their first distro, but after a couple years with Manjaro, they might try it.
I don’t know about the 13, but on the 16 you can update via USB, no OS required. Kind of annoying, but it works.
