I spent my time fighting AppImages until Canonical started to force Snap on me. I hated Snap so bad it forced me to switch distros. Now I appreciate Flatpak as a result and I don’t find AppImages all that bad, either. Also, I haven’t found myself in dependency-hell nor have I crashed my distro from unofficial Repos in well over a decade.

-It’s a long way of saying It works for me and it’s not Snap.

In the renewed spirit of Screw Microsoft today I found that video “https://youtu.be/DwiHog2leMM?list=FL7oNgzhY82m2rFR_j5lW9vw&t=393”

I don’t know how much of the video is still relevant as I’ve long stopped using Windows again to the point that my Cert has expired. Anyways, sorry for the late response. Good Luck!

As a teenager years ago I used to do this for kicks. If you’re paying with a personal card, however, your name on the “billing address” must match the card your paying with. -This largely defeats most privacy concerns even if you’re changing the name in the “shipping address” field as payment processors as well as some merchants retain that billing information.

Beginner’s Command Cheatsheet

:q!

Back in 2020 when I took my class for my A+ cert I remember the instructor directing us to a Windows 10 debloating video tutorial to speed up a Win10 computer. If I recall correctly In that video the host point’s out that one of the Microsoft services that ran in the background of every standard distribution of Windows 10 was a keylogger. It was one of the many things that got permanently turned off in the in the tutorial.

Oh, cool! I thought Haiku had stalled out. I guess I was wrong.

It’s hard to remember but it was some version of Mandrake probably in the early 2000’s. At the time, they were one of the only distros (along with Red Hat) to offer an installation GUI. As a first time user I found partitioning a hard drive too complex to do on the command line.

I only used Mandrake for a short time before reverting to windows but it wasn’t long after that when I came back and then started using Debian. Since then I went back to Windows then to OpenSuSe, then Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and now Pop!_OS.

I feel like it somehow relates to Cunningham’s Law but i can’t figure out how to articulate it.

To quote Jon Stewart from two decades ago -“Man, that dorm is toast!”

Oh, cool. thanks!

I usually only use it via command line, but that’s disappointing to hear that it’s no longer supported. I have used redshift-gtk in the past but I could never keep it functioning for very long, and I prefer KDE. It seems every alternative wants to automate it to synchronize with sunrise and sunset, but 90% of the time I use it is simply because my eyes are already aching. I wish there was another with an easy access on/off switch. The built-in functions require going into settings each time I want to change it and that’s just no good.

I have and I’ve concluded that I’m not made of money and therefore can’t afford to have multiple terabyte drives just lying around with redundant data just in case.

If I could afford it, then I wouldn’t have been resizing my ‘/’ partition to free up 80GB of space.

I used to, but then I nuked my install accidentally and I couldn’t recover the encrypted data. I nuke my installs fairly regularly. I just did again this past week while trying to resize my / and my /home partitions. I’ve resigned myself to only encrypting specific files and directories on demand.

My phone is fully encrypted though.

I heard that they were the first test-audience Apple used to test their new product, the IRope. Apple designed it to go around their user’s necks. The other end of the IRope is designed to attach to a proprietary cryptographic dongle to work called the Lynch-Key. Apple says it’s like a lynch-pin because it’s critical to the function the IRope.

Apple never did hear back from the test-audience. -I think this product will be a real winner!

The Debian 6 wallpaper titled Space Fun has always been my favorite.

Currently I use Pop!_OS because I wanted a Debian descendant that didn’t use Snap while also was most likely to support my hardware.

He alludes to sanctions being a factor but never clarifies on advice from his lawyers. ngl I don’t like the look of it just from a transparency perspective.

I remember seeing that on the shelf next to a copy of SuSe during my regular visits to CompUSA. I had just barely developed an interest in computer gaming at the time, still a few years prior to my first experience with LiGNUx. I always wondered when it turned into Fedora and Red Hat went exclusively enterprise.

hmm, a faux hacktivist group certainly would be an excellent and easy way for an intelligence agency to try and redirect anger. hypothetically speaking, of course.

it did. in the 90s i was on a plane with my family and a guy sitting near us got drunk and was telling people he had a bomb in his briefcase. all that happened was that he got chewed out by the flight attendant. I could swear she said “we will turn the plane around if we have to!” it was incredibly amusing to watch as someone under 10 years old.
