Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government, yes. They make the laws carried out by the executive branch. “Feds” refers to federal employees.

So yeah, members of Congress are feds, though not the ones you are used to seeing at your door.

What do you think Congress does then?

Do you not think the feds could pass a law saying that sellers have to keep a list of everyone who buys guns or ammo?

Honestly, I’m really curious at this point why commenters here are so absolutely convinced that they couldn’t.

If the government wants you to have to show id to buy ammo, it’ll happen.

Unless you are manufacturing your own ammunition, you have to interact with someone the government has leverage over.

All they have to do is grab a copy of the NRA membership roster and mandate that gun stores turn over sales records for purchases of guns or ammunition.

I guarantee they can get you on a list pretty quick if they want to.

I dunno, if you take that advice you either needed to do it because your relationship is so bad, or you needed to learn from the mistake of doing it.

Mature people in good relationships don’t break up just because the Internet told them to.

Sir, this is a Lemmy.

Helicopters can glide too it’s just a little harder. When a helicopter loses power and needs to glide the first step is to aim it at the ground to pick up speed…

Step 2 is to pray you have the height to pull it off.

And if you forgot to properly sign up for a long distance plan your calls were at “market rate” instead of the very reasonable price of about fifty cents to a dollar a minute.

Why, need a good number to hand out when you aren’t really into someone at the bar and they won’t leave you alone?

I’m on Garuda, every game I have tried has worked great, sometimes I just have to choose a different proton version with an easy pull down menu. The only game I have given up is Destiny 2, because they say they will ban anyone on Linux because of their anti cheat.

“we’ve shut down the entire mechanism of government and it’s still not working and we’re all out of ideas!”

I switched from Bazzite to Garuda to get away from it being immutable. It’s been great.

I use Garuda, you just install the Nvidia version and the updater handles updates automatically whenever you run it.

Easy peasy.

Xfce user, here to represent!

I love it and haven’t had any trouble. Try it out!

People always talk about the learning curve and compromises, but Linux is finally in the “shit just works” stage, so it’s not much different than the Mac/PC decision people make every day.

Heck, in a lot of ways it is more similar to Windows than Mac is, so it should be an easier decision. For some reason though, everyone still treats it like… Well… It would be like treating Windows like you still have to know DOS.

That’s just not true anymore.

Non immutable just means that your system isn’t locked down to make sure you don’t accidentally break something. Some people have a strong preference for it one way or another.

As to why it might help, every distro comes with a custom mix of software and tweaks. Bazzite is fedora based while Garuda is Arch based. Some things may work better or worse with less tweaking.

So if you are frustrated enough to consider something else and aren’t committed to an immutable distro, it might be worth experimenting with.

If you want a non immutable distro, I switched to Garuda after Bazzite and it has been great for gaming.

I dunno, I use Garuda and it’s an Arch distro. It’s been super user friendly and I’ve only had to learn console stuff when I wanted to mess with stuff most casual users wouldn’t be bothered with.

And maybe you would say, “well that’s not really representative of a normal Arch install” but isn’t that the point of different distros? That anyone can build on functionality to do something like make Arch more user friendly?

I hear you, but what if maybe, I know this is crazy, the government only took from the people but didn’t actually provide any services to them. It could be soooo profitable!
