I appreciate your mentioning the downside. I am way too much of a tinkerer for a read-only root to be acceptable for me, but I’m glad you found something you like.

Probably the main benefit would be funding Mozilla, so we aren’t all total serfs in Google’s fiefdom

It isn’t really about his net worth. Capitalists (oligarchs) like Trump because for some reason he is the right kind of ghoul to be their tool. And police like who the oligarchs like.

True, but the outlay of cost for the hardware was higher than the value of Bitcoin you would receive.

bitcoin mining hasn’t been profitable for a long time. Like, a decade or so.

They might look reasonable at first glance, but the devil is in the details. These are bad.

Local python uses ~/.local/bin, so in the interest of avoiding conflict, it is probably better to use ~/bin.

What the heck? This bends my brain.

Wonderful news.

Too true. Trump didn’t come from nowhere; the genocide of the native americans, the ethnic cleansing of black communities, jim crow, the zoot suit riots, etc are all proof of that.

And yeah, the democratic party talks a good game, but where were they when that train derailed and ruined the water in East Palestine, Ohio? Where were they during the subsequent negotiations with the railway workers who were just asking for basic necessities – which Biden denied to them. Why did the Democratic party reduce Covid leave to just 5 days, when it takes at least a week or more to fully recover? Why did they remove the masking mandate when infections are still happening and disabling people?

They are all servants of the capitalists. The oligarchs need to go. A lot more than that needs to happen honestly, but at least the oligarchs need to go.

This is not that big of a deal most of the time, since you are the only person interacting with your computer, but it’s worth remembering when you decide to recycle or donate – you have to securely wipe in that case. Also bear in mind, if you do encrypt your drive, there are now more possibilities for total data loss.

Oh, fun fact: you can change a users windows password inside Linux. Comes in handy for recovery, ie, user forgot their password.

It’s a professional-grade graphic design software.

Ubuntu – the one with the Nelson Mandela video and the picture of people holding hands in a circle.

We’re only in the first three months. Jesus.

If it works, it works – glad you found a way

Claws searches reasonably quickly and unlike thunderbird it isn’t a total resource hog. OTOH it suffers from not being multi threaded, which means when you first install it, expect it to take literally hours before it finishes syncing all your emails.

Mutt is not multi threaded either. Only thunderbird and kmail are, and kmail is a buggy mess, while thunderbird eats your ram like it’s a plate of cheese danishes.

Firefox doesn’t suck imho

Look up ffupdate on GitHub. The latest vanilla Firefox on any Linux with just 1 command (after it’s been configured)

Still using Firefox. They mean well. Wish I could say the same of chrome.
