What am I missing in the “end Kernel panic” one?

You actually think you’re going to rise up and fight against your national army? How about fighting for a better democracy instead, like by getting rid of Gerrymandering, abolishing corporate lobbyists, adopting preferential voting etc

Oh no! I only got an education from my school and didn’t get to fire a gun even ONCE! Let me go sit in a corner and cry myself to sleep with my secure, well paying job and free health care. By the way I’m in army reserves and get paid to shoot rifles and automatic guns at firing ranges. It’s okay, I guess, but I wouldn’t go if I weren’t paid lol

That was a good read with some helpful tips, but they didn’t have a conclusion at the end so they never answered their own question!

Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.

I would totally read that book

I’m all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I’m wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?

Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol

How dare they!

I wish he had the balls to follow through with it

Happy birthday!

Ublock origin works too

I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!

My guess to the biggest reason not to do this is safety - if somebody is being electrocuted, you want to be able to pull the cord out of the wall as quickly as possible to maximise their chance of survival.

Oh that’s interesting, exposing kids to it is a great idea because then they won’t have the whole barrier of the ‘fear of the unknown’ when considering installing it on their own PC. Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see a breakdown of useage by region. For example I found stats that said India’s share of linux users rose from 9% in May to 15% in July. That’s quite a sharp increase in only 2 months! With a population of over 1 billion people, I’m betting this rise would have a significant increase in global stats, so I wonder what is behind it…

What do you mean by ‘normal’ package management?

What problems does the AUR create? I just install using yay, and it mostly works fine

Reminds me of that episode where Roy ends up involved in a robbery… “How about that ludicrous display last night?”

Just to chime in, I first tried arch because some youtuber I followed recommended it, but after 5 years I would say I’ve stayed with it for the AUR and the community. The AUR has almost every app I’ve ever needed, and whenever I have a problem there’s always a solution on one forum or another, to the point where I can usually just copy and paste it into the terminal and it’s solved!

been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There’s only a CLI app but it works fine
