Google is virtually useless (and hopefully doomed). I searched for something technical about Linux and the content of the second result was literally "jar vegetable piquant crime fear rude provide run direction ruthless". Yep, those words verbatim.

Hopefully that was[n't] nuclear launch codes or a sleeper activation code or something that I just copied...

Oh, except for modern Ubuntu.

Any version that included Snaps, or even Upstart.

Versions that came on physical CDs were pretty okay. Plus they came with free stickers!

I'd like to take this time to appreciate the GNU/Linux/POSIX operating system(s). It's been really empowering to me and has enabled me to do so much. Thank you everyone who involved in the creation of this software, you're amazing :3

Don't use Heztner, don't buy Denuvo "games".

Mmmmh... #chimkin fries, yum.

@frost Thamks ^w^ I've daily vroomed Debian in the past and it was always super nice to foxxo. Then I switched to Ubuntu and Ubuntu-derivatives for some reason... video games probably??? But then Ubuntu has been turning into a big stinky poob over the past several years and has been really mean to me :( Big regret. If Arch doesn't work out, I'm probably going back to the nice red swirl friend for my desktop box (but with a few changes, like little foxxo pawbs everywhere).

I guess I'm going to try daily driving #archlinux now , wish me luck (or don't, I'm not your owner)...

Does anyone know of a good #gumroad bulk liberator? I need to quickly liberate all of my #gumroad purchases.

Looks like I'll be visiting the floofs at #TFF2024 this year! Yay :3

@Rusty I also feel attacked and/or huggled. Currently at 896 top level files (218,931 files recursively), totaling 244.1 GiB (not trying to make it a race, nuh-uh! Just for those interested in statistics...).
Whenever I run low on disk space I just sort by biggest size and start deleting things from there, leaving my downloads folder full of smol little things over time.

@LilFluff I use some kinda thingy that might be PostmarketOS/Alpine/GNU/Linux on my phone. It exists. I can use it to web, email, chat, SMS, telecom, and *nix things. For me it was infinitely easier to install than a working LineageOS (installs were on different devices, each device was designed for the OS), but I do have more experience installing GNU/Linux than Android/Linux so I might be a bit biased.

@0xC01DC0FFEE How can I ⭐ this more than once... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@HopelessDemigod Is an allow-list too paranoid or socially unacceptable?

@blake Again, I'm tired of good people getting hurt. That's a nice white paper you wrote (not being sarcastic), and I like how you're open with your agile keychain format. Your security firms were paid off. We both know that I speak the truth, you're not even funny. The civil terminology here is a difference in threat model. We've both said our piece. Thanks for the platform. You can block me now and we can go back to our little balkanized corners, at least until they intersect again. Thank you.

Thank you, @blake 1Password is definitely malware. It's not open source, so therefore a typical person who is not able to reverse engineer the client every update to verify that 1. passwords are "end" to end encrypted, 2. surprise updates are not enabled, and 3. there are no backdoors for violent terrorists. Without such verification, passwords will be stolen at any time. I'd link a more in depth resource but there are several on the associated subreddit, forums, and GitHub. Unsafe.
@shane

@1password 1password is malware, DO NOT use.

I'll accept mutual blocking each other.
