Mind explaining why use the content warning for this?

I get it when it’s used in some larger text perhaps with possibly triggering content, but this seems unnecessary. These domains don’t link to anything else than cock.li and airmail.cc either.
Warnings that are overused loose value.

Akshyually, that’s just archival format, not compression.

If you’re already using Ubuntu, I don’t think it’s worth it. They’re fairly similar. Then again, I didn’t even get to install Ubuntu in the first place, the installer kept crashing.

Unless the laptop is a potato and you don’t have a better computer, you can try Mint, or any other distro in a VM to see for yourself.

And welcome to Linux. If someone recommends you Arch Linux, Gentoo or LFS as other newbie-friendly option, it’s a joke.

When you live with someone else who insists on you putting together and decorating the Christmas tree and gets mad at you when you won’t do it just for you to have to repack all that piece of shit into boxes mid-January.

Only if others require me to participate in that. I don’t like it myself.

Damn kids these days.

Chat, should I do it?

See, if you’re already referring to others as “chat”, it probably means you should have deleted it sooner.

I am sure you still have same number of those more advanced users, but now far more people have access to computers because they are cheaper and easier to use. That may be about it.

Hi high, rice to meet you.

But…!

Me updating my Arch install in the morning at school (there’s faster connection):

But, with current install I finally started writing logs of all manual changes I make (config updates, created symlinks outside home dir, package installations, etc…). I’ll finally know what I did instead of trying to guess what weird thing I did 2 years ago.

Well, yeah, because most apps depend on Google services.

Termux: “Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power”

Maybe they could rather fix AOSP. Based on that recent LTT video Google doesn’t really give a fuck about it anymore.

I just recently bought 2 phones (one returned, other isn’t far from that), one with A14 the other with A13. Changing minimum width to >600dp (to simulate a tablet (larger screen) and trigger tablet mode) has very wild results now. I mean like overlapping icons in notification shade, completely non-functional 3 button navigation, app tray squished to less than width of 1 icon (completely unusable), icons getting off-screen, gesture navigation occasionally not working either, notification shade icons and notifications offset from their background (just a visual problem) and a lot of wasted space everywhere.

Sure, it’s in developer settings, but so far whenever I did something to this in up to Android 11 including, the phone just beautifully adjusted to this and everything suddenly made more sense on a large screen.
Though maybe I was just lucky?

I am currently typing this on an old Moto G5s Plus (2017) with the now discontinued PixelExperience (11) ROM. My last bug-free Android experience. I can even route hotspot over a VPN, how cool is that.

But Mullvad dropped port-forwarding which is relevant in the context of torrenting.

I would stop. At that point it’s not really a donation, but a payment. I don’t know how much of that donation to consider a “payment”.

Similarly I didn’t get the Tor Project stickers. I don’t know how much the stickers, envelope and postage cost them, thus I couldn’t determine the amount that is “donation”. As such, I opted not to take them. Just the same with Fediverse Canvas 2024 stickers. Some amount of that has went for Canvas development, but how much I don’t know. Once again I opted for donation only.
I’d like them in both cases. Perhaps $3 (excl. shipping) per sticker is still OK to consider a purchase, but $25 for a few stickers, meh.

Anyway, my point is, if for the donation I am provided exclusive products or services and I either don’t know their cost (to subtract from donation amount) or don’t have the choice to opt out from being provided the services/products, I won’t donate at all.

But even outside of that, it wouldn’t pass. For me, one requirement for donating is that whatever group I am donating to provides everyone the same service no matter if you pay them or not. Otherwise I can’t really consider it a donation, and I don’t have the money to pay.

You mean OTA TV? I don’t even watch sports, the rest has 10 minute advertisements. And considering it’s digital, I don’t find it interesting at all. Yes, a weird reason, but anyway.

OK, it seems I can bring my current music library. I experimented with it a bit now, and I guess I could get used to 12kbps Opus or 12.65kbps AMR-WB (they sound comparable). It kinda sounds like off-tuned FM radio, not the much more awful artifacts of MP3 or AAC.

Although… can I bring a cassette tape player? It’s analog, so tapes won’t fall under this limit. Then I could possibly digitize it. Similarly with movies on film. I don’t know what equipment I can take though. Movies on film, photos on paper, books on paper, music on tapes, hmmm… I guess that would be some games then. What counts under the media though? Just the games themselves, emulation software, entire OS?

Jokes on them, they just taught me about Tails OS.

And hello to my FBI NSA agent!
