If you’re suggesting something like cryptocurrency or a return to the gold standard, I challenge you to explain how that would help in this situation.

But you couldn’t release your own projects based on this under pure MIT or Apache-2.0. Presumably you’d need to include the same restriction about selling on Atlassian’s marketplace.

Gifs that end too soon.

Absolutely. GOG has a much better license and distribution model, but it’s still a license.

That’s not true. You still only receive a license to play the game, you do not own it. Directly from GOG’s website:

We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which are explained later on.

Practically this means you cannot resell your GOG installer in the way you could resell a physical book.

Being old means you have the knowledge of what was. Whether you look at the past objectively or with rose-tinted glasses is irrelevant.

Split meaning equal shares, or split as in each person pays for what they ordered?

Canadian checking in.

Biggest oddity to me is that the default for restaurants is one bill, and waiters get annoyed if you ask them to split it by person.

Like why would I want to either:

• do math correctly splitting the bill while trying to leave; or
• be worried I ordered something more expensive than the average and unfairly make others cover it?

It’s complete insanity to me.

Two questions: are you still on Gentoo, and have you tried LFS?

I will never not be jealous of the pure joy a cat must feel stretching.

I’m going to need to see a reenactment or video before I believe this.

It works okay for a while, but eventually it loses the plot. The storylines are usually pretty generic and washed out.

Arguably Ghostbusters (1984) is prior art for throwing a capsule and capturing 🤣

Edit: they even had a video game with the ghost trap.

I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!

The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.

You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.

KDE 6 just landed too!

Maybe confused with xz: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-3094 ?

Bah, real power users only need a magnet and a pin.

Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.

The risk of mis-ordering your layers is a security issue.

There are two ways to layer a VPN and tor:

1. Tor over VPN; or
2. VPN over Tor.

In the first option, you gain little. Tor already encrypts your traffic, so your ISP can’t see inside them. Technically, Tor over a VPN hides the fact that you’re using Tor from your ISP, but Tor’s snowflake does something similar if you need that.

In the second option, you’re revealing your VPN account information, which could theoretically be associated back to you. Tor adds nothing over just a VPN in this case.

Don’t mix tor plus VPN.

If you’re using tor browser without tor for some reason, carry on.
