Uh no. You can get nHA toothpaste in the USA without a prescription, not sure why you'd think that. It's just not a popular item here so it's not sold at brick and mortar stores for the most part, though some smaller stores have it. But I have no problem ordering the stuff online.

Edit: Target apparently carries one brand now

They get Windows because I'm not being paid to support their setup

Ganeti development is more or less dead. If you look at the github repo, it hasn't seen a notable release in 4 years. All that's been done is a small bugfix patch two months ago by the community.

The project being based on Haskell code also makes it less attractive for new devs.

SimpleX literally solves the messaging problem. You can bounce through their default relay nodes or run your own to use exclusively or add to the mix. It's all very transparent to end users.

At most, aws outage would have only affected chats relayed on those aws servers.

SimpleX also doesn't require a fukkin phone number.

As an American, Americans are strangled by Microsoft.

Microsoft doesn't actually care because most of their revenue is from corporate environments tied to the OS and their cloud offerings. Everyday users are nothing to them, which is why they don't try harder to keep you from using unactivated copies of windows. You are nothing

Forking Linux and continuing to do that instead of up streaming is a massive task, especially as time goes by and code similarities drift. It's much better to upstream. This is why fortune 500 companies contribute to the Linux kernel.

The old guard in the Linux kernel have a real stick up their ass against anything not C, despite Linus himself advocating that rust drivers should at least be looked at. It's turned off a lot of new blood doing projects like Asahi because they don't have upstream support so the burden of the project is much too great for a hobbyist endeavor for something that should otherwise be fun and mentally engaging.

Ah yes, arch but fascist.

Just straight up Bazzite to be honest.

Fedora by itself is too Puritan for stuff not fully foss in their default repos

If only Linux devs weren't so toxic against rust that it drove out talent that was working on Asahi Linux for these devices :V

Vaxry is still pretty ableist, I think he's just better at hiding it now. https://mastodon.social/@acidiclight/115348200226656321
