Because idle that takes off and becomes a threat to their business model, they will just lobby to make such a thing illegal.

Dude, you get free third party bullshit with every update. What’s not to love?

I can’t access my home server at all right now. I needed a distraction from all the bullshit in the world so I intentionally made it unstable so I would always have a puzzle to solve. I have a backup but I only use it when the puzzle breaks. That’s the rule I made for myself.

This distraction certainly delivers.

Get started early so you have time to acclimate and address issues. You are going to hate it if you urgently need your computer for something and something unexpected happens.

it’s that i escape but yes

I’m a US citizen looking for a way out and it’s probably not going to happen because I’m not rich and I’m not important.

The good news is I will likely be killed over this horseshit soon enough so I won’t have to suffer that long with it.

I2p has a git service

I have the same setup and they caught me within 24 hours. fuck em.

they keep banning any other accounts I made there over being linked with the first one. I have tried unique email addresses and everything but they still figure it out within 24 hours, even when I 'm not allowed to post anything. So I just dont use reddit at all anymore.

Fuck you. You don’t know what I’m into!

Dude, Microsoft has gotten really bad lately. I upgrades the SSD in a surface pro X I’m giving to a friend. I went to use Microsoft own recovery image for this device and it doesn’t fucking work. It literally kept erasing the flash drive when you tried to boot off it. You can’t use the generic win11 ARM image either because it’s a surface product and they can’t complete the install that way.

I ended up having to clone the old SSD with DD into the new one, move the recovery partition to the end with gparted, then use windows reset my pc thing.

The ability to upgrade the SSD was an advertised feature of the surface pro X. You literally cannot use the product they way they sell it to you.

I use Mac with no problems. I use Linux with the occasional fixable hiccup. I want to punch the pope in the fucking throat when I use windows.

Alpine has a simple diskless install process. Nobody else does. Alpine wins.

Nope

I do and I never get emails from my ISP.

Dude there’s probably a business in that. People typically just get hookers for that weird situation where a rich powerful man has to go to an event and bring a plus one, and he can’t find a woman who doesn’t hate him so he has to rent one by the hour.

Make it an app. Fuck it. Lets let the business majors ruin that too.

Does anyone know how we ended up with penguins as the logo? I kinda get the BSD demon “beastie.” Microsoft chose the windows flag/window pane. Mac has an Apple/the finder face. Android is a cute green robot. iOS pretends to be too sophisticated for a mascot so we’ll just say it’s the Apple again.

And yet we somehow got penguins.

It’s not that we can’t do this that has kept it from happening yet. It’s that it’s never been practical.

Hasn’t Kohl’s done this for years?

And here I just migrated to a lattepanda mu. Fuck.

Dude I remember when live booting knoppix was impressive. Hell my intro to Linux was mandrake. We have so many great distros and documentation available now it’s crazy.
