You don’t need to fuse every fiber connection unless you’re doing really long distance fiber.
For runs inside a building, single pulls with mechanical splices would work just fine. You shouldn’t get much loss as long as there aren’t more than two or so mechanical splices.

Plus, there’s all the cool stuff Valve has been doing for Linux gaming. All the effort into Proton, the steam deck, etc.
At this point, I’m sticking with Steam to reward them for investing in Linux.
But that’s how dogwhistles work: they can hide behind a veil of plausible deniability.
And his refusal in the leadup to the 2020 election to denounce the Proud Boys.
“Stand Back and Stand By” isn’t the kind of thing you say to a group you want nothing at all to do with.
They’re both about the same in terms of privacy so that’s quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.
As someone who has used Linux as their primary desktop OS for about 7 years now, you don’t have to tell me that Windows sucks.
Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don’t have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.
I don’t use any accounts for my OS at all.
Apple making a proprietary pinout for NVME is what will keep me from ever giving them money.

It’s not like Apple uses a different controller, or that they invented a different communication standard. They just put the same communication pins from the same controller on a different physical connector, and charge you 10x for the replacement part. It’s why boards like this can work at all:

If Apple wasn’t using standard NVMe controller communication protocols and controllers, these adapter boards wouldn’t work at all.
The only thing that makes Apple marginally better is that the company spying on you tries to pretend like they’re not in it for your sweet data.
They might not be selling it right now, but only because they keep making money hand over fist from the non-repairable proprietary bullshit they produce. Once that faucet starts to slow down, you better believe they’ll be the next Google.
‘Bricked’ in this sense meaning not that you’d just trash your OS and need a reinstall, but that it could actually stop your computer from booting at all. So the system32 analogy doesn’t exactly fit.
It’s because some motherboards implement UEFI in a way that allows important variables to be overwritten by I/O processes. Executing sudo rm -rf /* would recursively go into the EFI parameters folder where the kernel mounts EFI variables and attempt to delete things. Some motherboards allowed these delete operations to remove things in the motherboard’s firmware it needs to complete POST, thus rendering the motherboard useless.
But that’s a problem with the motherboard, not with Linux or Windows. The same damage can be caused by Windows.
‘Brigading’ would be if pro-Linux communities were organizing to specifically target another community.
The fediverse is likely to attract the kinds of people interested in Linux in the first place, and all the negative attention that community attracts comes organically.
I talked with the user a bit in Linux_vs_Windows before they were booted from the community, and it’s my opinion that they just have a hate-boner going for Linux. It’s possible to have valid criticism of Linux, but they go way past legitimate and straight into obsession territory. They tend to post in that community daily. So their points aren’t exactly great (though sometimes they hit on a good meme) and they get the points they get naturally.
It’s not a conspiracy, their arguments just tend to be shit.
It’s basically just an end you attach to the fiber:

You’ll use a cleaver to break the fiber at a 90 degree angle to reduce attenuation, and slide it into the connector. Once it bottoms out, you press something down and it grabs the fiber, holding it in place.
I know it’s Youtube, but here’s a video of the process:

The idea is you would pull a fiber cable through a building and terminate it with ends like these. Then install them into a bulkhead to make them similar to solid-core CAT5/5e/6 cable into a patch panel. You can then use premade jumpers to connect from the building wiring to the devices you’re using.
The fusion machines are generally used for long distance links because of the significantly lower attenuation per splice. A fiber line that goes 40 miles is likely to have tens if not hundreds of splices in it depending on the number of spans of cable, and industry standard for fusion splices is 0.00-0.05 db attenuation per fusion splice.
