I wasn’t hit according to the public script but I am definitely rethinking my use of Arch and most certainly refraining from the AUR as much as possible going forward. This is far too many events in such a small period of time for me.

All of the above. Fuck capitalism, fuck DRM, and fuck giving the 1% more money lmao

Just wait until you find out how much roads cost. No, gas and registration taxes don’t even come close to covering it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IsMeKl-Sv0

Usually the second, which is the most common option, because we know objectively that studios are in fact not “losing” eleventy billion dollars to piracy. If that were true most people would choose the first.

I’m not buying the new Pokémon game. I’ll play it on an emulator if it’s not too much hassle. I don’t have plans to ever buy it, and if it never works on emulation, I will just not play it.

In a different case, I’ve gone from pirating a bunch of games to buying them because I liked them and wanted the updates. BG3 for example.

1. Because I like to. 2. Because it still has the best flexibility for packages. 3. I like using cutting edge releases.

It is also extremely overblown just how “hard” arch is. Either way I know a lot more about my system and how it functions now.

It doesn’t happen automatically, you’ve just gotten lucky with your files. Subtitles can be embedded in the video file.

Yes, this. Torrenting music is not necessary. Slsk is a better option 99% of the time. Most of the tags are the automatic ones applied by the streaming service it was ripped from or MusicBrainz. But everyone seems to expect different things from tagging, so if you want every performer tagged and like every genre you’re never gonna find that.

Librem 5 is what you’re thinking of

One joke

Honestly I just use PiVPN on my clients and Jellyfin over HTTP. (The VPN encrypts traffic, don’t worry). It’s more secure than exposing it to the public internet in any way, really. After I had a goddamn Minecraft server get joined by a bot I stepped up security - in 2025, any hole will be exploited for data and botnets. If you’re hosting for family, I think there’s still value in the security Plex is offering by being the middleman between your computers in your home and the outside world.

+1 for thrifted laser. Just look for replacement toner before checking out.

Yeah, I think laser with viable third party cartridges is the actual answer. No matter what brand. Individual model is more important than the brand too, because my Brother was actually still kinda annoying to get working properly.

Inkjet isn’t appropriate for somebody who prints infrequently, especially refillable inkjets, because they dry out even faster than cartridges. Toner is powder and stays good for basically as long as the printer is functional.

It might depend on climate, because I live somewhere semi-arid, but it’s worth keeping in mind.

Well, don’t use both at the same time… Seriously though pipewire/pipewire-pulse have fixed all of the already pretty infrequent audio problems I’ve had

90% of the complaints I’ve heard about GIMP are just because its UI and workflow are different from whatever tool they’re used to. I like GIMP just fine because I learned on it. I don’t even like using Krita because I feel like it’s 50% gimp with a skin lol

I would love for us to not be America’s bitch one day.

-1 for intel macbooks. Horrible cooling and poor hardware support. Source, I own one.

You have specifically identified why they wanna kill it off.

Yessongs if you like that kind of thing.

Maybe it’s not so great how monolithic systemd is, but it has brought a lot of great functionality to the Linux world. Not as if Linux has ever been married to the Unix philosophy anyways.
