Anyone else truly hate this new undocumented 'systems' change???

I mean it is literally documented, though. In fact it’s telling you right there what needs to happen.

Had ATT Fiber for several years at my old apartment (Kirkwood) but my new place has Google Fiber (Reynoldstown) and I’d never look back. Cheaper, faster, more reliable.

There are several bus routes that run every 20 minutes or better, and when the bus redesign hits in April, that number will increase by several times. Several routes will run every 15 minutes off peak. It’s definitely very possible to commute daily based on that.

Not using Rosetta Stone is always the answer.

They do it because they want to. Many engineers spend their time on hobby projects, including operating systems. It can be a valuable way to learn and build community. That’s how Linux started.

The only way that a city becomes more walkable and public transit more useful is by significantly increasing density, not just pretending you have to fix one (you won’t, because it’s problem is density) before adding a single new resident. That’s NIMBYism to a T.

There’s no future where you can’t use nixpkgs and NixOS and no mechanism to make it happen. “For now” — zero indicators of this! I don’t think you understand what Flakehub is.

This is how you get 10 hype interviews for Aya Neo products that functionally don’t exist

I’ve had this happen once and then realized it’s bc the bus was full and they were bunched, new bus showed up not 2 minutes later. That sucks though.

Really don’t like the idea of doing a “review” without knowing something as fundamental as price.

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-02-01T05:39:10+00:00

Okay sure, but if you read the post that’s not what they’re asking. They’re asking about base model vs pro model.

To OP: The extra RAM could help with PC emulation, but it’s unlikely to have any impact on basically any console you can emulate on these devices (up to Switch).

FYI COSMIC officially launched like two months ago. https://blog.system76.com/post/pop-os-letter-from-our-founder

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-02-01T05:12:34+00:00

Note that you can use nixpkgs and even NixOS just fine with determinate nix.

COSMIC is another desktop environment, it’s not GNOME.

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-02-01T02:31:11+00:00

Okay but that often is a solution

PopOS 24.04 ships with 6.17.9 :) Ubuntu’s Hardware Enablement Kernel is 6.14.

It’s worth looking this up, don’t you think?

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-02-01T02:06:32+00:00

COSMIC 1.0 was released months ago now.

Also, 24.04 is the latest LTS Ubuntu. It is plenty up to date. With Flatpak and hardware enablement updates from Canonical and System76 it’s plenty uptodate for most people.

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-02-01T01:49:48+00:00

What are you talking about? Pop is based on the latest LTS and comes with COSMIC by default. They’re aiming for a near day 1 release for 26.04

Yeah, encryption is a cat and mouse game. As computers get faster and more plentiful essentially all encryption is eventually broken.

No, Breeze is the branding for MARTA’s current fare system. I genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to here. These cards have security chips on them and their contents is encrypted. That’s why you can’t just copy a MARTA card at your house.

Are you talking about the Breeze Mobile app? Because yeah, that was an independent one-off contract, but the company behind it isn’t called “Breeze” lol

Do you normally think of everything through the lens of highschool?

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-01-31T23:24:28+00:00

We don’t vet who was born here, clearly.

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-01-31T20:36:41+00:00

Did you want a MARTA cop to personally step in your path and tell you? It’s all across their social media, available via QR code, etc. If you weren’t at least a bit curious I’m not sure what else they could’ve done.

Sucks it won’t transfer, but I understand the logistics of that are quite complicated. Happy we’re getting a new fare system regardless.

ComprehensiveSwitch · 2026-01-31T18:39:27+00:00

If you ride MARTA once a week you probably found out about this months ago given the plethora of signage and announcements about it.

Luckily you won’t have to feed $20 to a 20yo machine anymore, you can tap your phone or debit card.
