Fair enough

I don’t think Meshtastic would work for that with a 200char limit.

Usenet and torrents otoh, already can’t stop that. Not to mention lying is still a thing. I’m 136 years old so I should know.

Wait, so instead of me telling every website I’m 90, I’ll tell my OS I’m 90 and the sites will query that, and this somehow works better? I’m not 90 btw, so all I’m doing is just changing who I’m lying to from zyn.com to Fedora? Great plan.

“No, I have 3 4tb drives and 5 1tb drives. I mean I do have 15 sticks around but most of those have a linux distro on them and the others are for general use.”

Or do, what are they gonna do about it if I don’t really live there? Fuck 'em.

How do you customize it yourself? Every time I try to find info online I just find “use themes,” but I’m not looking for whole themes, I want to kinda sorta slowly theme it myself like “oh I want this to be that color” and stuff, I just don’t know what .conf files or whatever I need to edit.

Woah, just now learning of this legendary third Olsen sister. She uhh… she goddamn cute. The twins always kinda creeped me out, this was an unforseen twist.

Sure probably (though I wonder how you’d get caught) but if it’s “for work” then imo it should be a work laptop and then likely has windows already and they won’t (often) let you install linux anyway.

I opened the LibreOffice doc in word.com and the only reason it was different was fonts.

Doesn’t have to be! You can snag the fonts folder directly from a windows install under C:\Windows\Fonts and drop them directly into /usr/share/fonts on your linux install (and then iirc you have to either reboot or run sudo fc-cache in the terminal to rescan the directory).

You can also download them from Soulseek assuming I’m online (which I am not currently) and probably other locations (but be safe about it of course).

Now, if you can’t let Windows go because of Roblox or Apex, I can’t help you.

Nobody can but the companies that make it. Mostly due to kernel level anticheat (which you shouldn’t install on windows either tbh). Some games like Destiny run fine but they just ban your acct for playing on linux, it isn’t linux that is the problem, it’s Bungie (etc).

Large files huh? “Large” like “4k videos of blackmail material” large or what are we talking here?

Fedora just runs my large 4k videos of totally not pirated movies just fine, I’ve never had a file too large to access.

For even more “fun”, try opening a file in Audacity / Tenacity, which will default to raw mode if it can’t tell what a file is, and you get to see the waveform and so on. Just take care not to modify and save over an important file with that.

Well, unless that file (though, work with copies of course!!) is a .bmp image. Then try applying some “audio” affects to sections or the whole thing and see what it does to the image and export it, can get some neat stuff.

Tuta sucks, they deleted an acct of mine for inactivity, then when I went to replace it they flagged the new one for manual review and said “this addr cannot send mail until the review clears, please reach out to our support team using the email we just said can’t send email for some reason.” I went with Disroot.

GrapheneOS is super easy to install, they have a walkthrough on their site.

Tbh even if I could I wouldn’t want to, the terminal is so much better for many things. I advise new users to become comfortable with it at least by following along with a few “linux terminal basics” vids like it’s a class.

Yeh

Hey kids you like plain text files right?

Me, who grew up reading/referencing text files daily on gamefaqs for cheats, secrets/eggs, and walkthroughs when stuck on various games: Yeh.

My bad.

But yes I agree with her (you) lol.

Well it is illegal to posses, unless you successfully register it as a destructive device with ATF but if you had the qualifications you needed you’d know about it, so we can’t do it.

For sure hollow points though.

Yet you’re suggesting using a molotov cocktail inside your home is safer? I’m guessing you’ve never used one of those, either (and neither have I mr fbi man that’s very illegal and I would never…) but they’re not exactly super controllable.

Nor are they practical, you have to keep them capped or the gas will evaporate, so you’d have to open it, soak your rag, and stuff it all while saying “hold on mr home invader I’ll be right with you.”

Nor is it legal, the AR is a self defense case that in my state is pretty cut and dry, the Molotov is an unregistered destructive device charge, an arson charge, and probably an attempted murder charge since he’ll likely survive with third degree burns tbh.

I’m assuming you’re joking anyway, but fun to debate nonetheless lol.
