The isn’t snark. The answer is simply greed. The rich want to be richer. They want it all. The mentality is, “I don’t care about anyone else, I want it all.”

Edit: removed a redundant sentence

So people will get something like .25 USD?

Ah. Yeah. I think then you’ll want to look into cloudflare tunnels. I believe that should get you through the cgnt and deal with the dynamic IP ll in one go.

You can deal with the non-static IP by using duckdns.org

Another copy. Would have been crazy if it was the exact copy I had.

I was at a used bookshop the other day and found the same Caldera Open Linux 2.2 book and cd that I used to install my first linux distro on a pc. Man that was exciting!

You’re welcome!!

I’m no expert so take this with an appropriately sized grain of salt.

You should be able to install KDE on whatever distribution you decide. If you want KDE 6, you may have to add a repo, but it should be as simple as sudo <package manager install incantation> whatever-KDE-is-named-in-the-repo

If you want stability, Debian is the go to, but the tradeoff there is older packages. However if manjaro is working for you, don’t fix what isn’t broken. I don’t know how good Debian is for gaming, but honestly any distribution should be just fine for dev. Considering what steam has done with Arch as the base, it may be worth considering Arch as an option.

To the partitions, I’m not knowledgeable enough to make recommendations as to what you should or shouldn’t touch. My instinct is to not touch /boot/efi

Something can definitely go wrong when playing with partitions, so make that backup of everything as planned and test it before you make any changes to the system.

Super!

Fuck Amazon.

I’ve been heavily listening to three albums. The Returner by Allison Russell, Tekkno by Electric Callboy, and Childish Gambino’s Atavista . Right now these are my favorite albums.

youruser:youruser just means the user’s group. For instance, on my fedora 40 install, my user (bippy, just a silly name), is the username for my user, but also the name of the group that my user belongs to.

So when I do a chown, I typically do chown -R bippy:bippy path/to/directory

If you wanted to give permissions to a different group on your system, but also to your main user, you could do a chown -R bippy:wheel /path/to/directory (wheel is an example group name, which is similar to sudoers)

It’s not that Linux can’t do what you specify, but that it may not do it in the way you require, which is based on your windows experience. Lots of what you describe can be done

For example, using command line tools like sed, rename, ffmpeg, find, etc…, you can do all of the text manipulation you can imagine.

But you also specify that you want gui wrappers, and in all likelihood, there are gui wrappers for what you want to do, but to meet your exact specifications, maybe not.

If you’re willing to do some adapting, which it sounds like you are, the. I think you can pretty easily adapt to Linux, as it’s perfectly capable of handling your high level requirements. It’s in the minutiae of how those requirements are met that is in question.

Awesome!

You could write yourself a bash script to do this.

Element/matrix does indeed have a web version. You can use https://app.element.io, or you can self host the web client.

FTC says water is wet.

Edit: in all seriousness, it’s good that the FTC is talking about this, and it’ll be even better if it does something to combat it.

I so look forward to seeing an ad when I pause a video to inspect whatever is on the screen at that moment.

You’ll never be able to buy that at like a Walmart of Best Buy type retailer. TVs these days are already just spy machines to serve ads. It’s a lovely idea, but it’ll never happen.
