  • I would argue it’s the opposite of being good with beginners. Having used many distros for years, with most of my time spent in Arch and NixOS, nix basically follows zero Linux conventions and requires you to learn a new language, learn the conventions of the nix community and ecosystem (channels vs flakes, home manager, etc)

    I primarily use nix but it’s specifically because I can write nix files and use them anywhere, so I’m a hobbyist, not a beginner

    Mint is good for total beginners. Arch is good for those that really want to learn how Linux works. Nix is for those that want a reproducible system, not beginners




  • Having just completed the game recently, I will say it’s flawed, as is to be expected from an EA game. But it is objectively a good game in my opinion and makes up for its flaws. Where the first game was really more of the “Jedi tries to survive” plot, this game is really “Cal comes into his own and works to make a difference against increasing odds.” Being able to choose between single/double bladed/dual wield/saber&blaster stances is really fun and they all feel thought out in their own way. I would never recommend to buy it at full price, but on sale it’s certainly a fun game to play through


  • In Jedi Survivor, Cal Kestis basically mirrors

    Tap for spoiler

    Bode Akuna (a fallen Jedi turned imperial agent)

    who fights exclusively with blasters and a saber, and you can utilize a blaster/saber hybrid stance. So if the game is Canon, then a jedi using a blaster combined with a saber is a new form of combat formed after the fall of the jedi

    Edit: realized I put a spoiler in even though the game was released two years ago



  • That’s absolutely true, and as I said, I’m not a professional and I would never claim to be, and would never want someone to end their life if they could be helped (probably every person who would regret it). That being said I think there is a social stigma of “don’t do it because what would happen to [x]”? I’ve had close friends that ended their lives and the focus after was on who it affected rather than why or how they got there and why they didn’t get help. Additionally our society is built on a system of “work to live” which can certainly be crushing to those who already feel crushed. Hopefully we can do better in the future.




  • Agreed. The idea that you owe people your life is pretty nuts. At the end of the day, you can be robbed of everything, including your life. But it’s the one thing you’re not allowed to end. In a perfect world I do think that people who are suicidal should both:

    (a) have to discuss their suicide with a trained professional. What does this look like? Idk. But probably along the lines of “are you capable of healing / can we heal what is causing these thoughts or no?”

    (b) be able to get professional euthanasia. No pain, someone to be there with them through the process. Not just a sterile room where you go to die, but a place you are going to leave your pain behind and move on

    If there is an afterlife, hopefully they find peace there.
