I don’t administer Linux, I use Linux. Unless you’re conflating being an end user with being an administrator, in which case I would say that’s a rather pretentious way to put it. Nobody walks around saying they administer Windows because they have a laptop. It sounds stupid.

Anytime you’re reduced to arguing semantics, it’s not even an argument worth engaging in. So I’m not going to bother responding further to you.

You got me there. Doing stuff like that on other platforms like the Switch totally prevented piracy, so I suppose it’s a good thing they didn’t do it on a system that thousands of devs know down to the kernel without having to reverse engineer.

It’s built on Linux. Specifically Arch Linux. So no, there’s nothing they could have done to lock it down to prevent piracy. Not even if they wanted to.

As long as you keep seeding torrents indefinitely, you’re contributing by keeping those torrents alive. That’s a huge benefit to the community, and it’s why you can get upload credit even if you aren’t uploading.

And the fact that ebooks take almost no space means you can indefinitely seed thousands of books even if it’s from a small hard drive.

So don’t feel useless. In fact, I want to thank you for helping out.

That’s an unfinished nature bridge.

The cool thing about that is that you can use it on iOS simply by visiting the Audiobookshelf instance directly on the web. So technically, it’s available on every platform that has some kind of browser.

Uh, when I first got an AR-15 about ten years ago, I went to Walmart first to see what they had. They had a bunch on a rotating rack you could pick up. Magazines and ammo were inside a glass shelf next to it. You just bought it all there, the only thing they did was walk you out of the store before handing it over.

I didn’t actually end up buying one though, I was given one by a local gun store as payment for saving them about $3500 a year on their IT bill and building them PCs. A nice little mostly custom AR chambered in .300 BLK. My father-in-law took it hog hunting one year.

What’re you talking about? I use a Firefox plugin that blocks ads on Twitch. I haven’t seen one since I started using it.

As an American, one of the most positive things that could happen to the world is the abolishment of the United States as a government. We’re directly or indirectly responsible for most of the ethnic cleansing that has gone on the last several decades.

I’m sorry to hear that. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Idk, but bone cancer looks like a bad way to go.

Yes, I suppose if their computer is a decade or two old, it might have an impact on their render times.

Dark Reader is entirely client side, so it shouldn’t affect load times.

A device that allows me to kill any billionaire, world leader, or politician remotely, anywhere in the world, without them being able to stop me.

This is how I do it, but since I use KDE I just loaded up the configure file in the connection settings and pasted in my password. Took about 10 seconds.

Oh that’s neat, I’ll have to check it out.

Since they want it for gaming, Nobara might be a better option. Based on Fedora, but comes bundled with everything they would need for it.

If it was someplace in Europe, absolutely. I would have zero qualms about ditching this dystopia. Sure, other places have their issues, but few are as bad the the US. With the far right takeover of the Supreme Court, it won’t be very long until the “land of the free” is no freer than Russia or China.

Several people have recommended hiking groups, and that’s a really good option. Hikers are generally very friendly people, and you can meet a lot of very interesting people on the trails from all over the world. The United States is also gifted to have many vast and diverse wilderness parks that are federally protected, so you can definitely experience some absolutely wonderful landscapes that might be very different than where you grew up. We also have many thousands of miles of trails, including the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail, each of which is at least 2,100 miles long.

There are also very many other outdoor activities that Americans have long traditions with, so if you want exposed to more of the local cultures, find something to do outside that you’ve never tried before. Fishing, hunting, hiking, backpacking, kayaking, and camping are just a few of the popular ones.
