I’m looking trying a new distro on my junker laptop. I’m kde and Arch right now. Do you have any recommendations for where I should test the waters? I don’t have any intentions with this machine other than testing distros and couch surfing.
Doing something that will almost assuredly kill you is a suicide attempt.
Starting ones self on fire is a suicide attempt, regardless of political motive. This isn’t the same as sky diving or even trying to see the Titanic in a carbon fiber pod, this is pure and simple, self immolation to death that failed, so far.
They were suicidal, and now they’re trapped.
I get around $120 a week to sell my plasma in the middle of the US at a BioLife center. Payment varies a little depending on the center you go to and various promotions, but it’s usually pretty close. It’s about 2-3 hours a week commitment.
In college, the money was necessary, but now I do it for extra side cash. My wife and I own a home, two vehicles, and are doing well, so I don’t need the money. I do it to supplement non budgeted items for fun, like weed, one or more snowboarding trips to actual elevation, and bass guitars and bass guitar accessories to name a few. Could it pay more? Probably, but I don’t feel like I’m getting ripped off for the time I’m giving.
I used to double dip, and do my hourly job while donating, which got me out of the office earlier, and got extra money. Now I’m salary and have meetings and shit.
I jumped right in the deep end with Arch. I’ve been a sys admin for about a decade and in IT for another 5 years, so I’m good with computers, but more importantly, I’m good at searching for and finding solutions to my problems. It was a bit rocky for the first setup, but been mostly smooth sailing since Jan or Feb. I reformatted to change to btrfs and snapper after the first month or two.
I still don’t know a lot about how Linux works or where any of the config files are, but I’m learning. I’m all on the bandwagon.
I went cold turkey to Linux this past December. Best choice I’ve ever made. I am still stuck on Windows for work and I assist friends and family with their stuff, but otherwise I’m happily out of the system.
Everything about it is so bad. It’s like someone woke up one day and thought, what is the legally worst piece of software I can make and force in people?
Any company worth anything will keep recall disabled. Obviously, with Microsoft, it will get “accidentally” activated in an update, so admins will have to play whack a mole, but nobody should enable that malware when it’s released.
Sounds like they are advertising a paid option.
You can run it from a live USB, which is also the install media. It’s not persistent, so if it restarts, you lose data. It’s a good easy to say last year it without making any changes. Like others mentioned, I wouldn’t dual boot.
I should have phrased it, helps pay the bills. For the end user if you don’t want to pay a monetary fee, then ads are the option. I would never go to some pages if I had to have a subscription to view content, and i assume many others wouldn’t either. Ads, as gross as they are, keep the Internet running for now
Not only that, but advertising pays the bills for the majority of websites. It’s a necessary evil unless people want to pay every website host to see their content.
I think yours is the first comment I’ve read that has Proton hesitancy. I’m curious what your reservations are.
Not to this extent.
If you can’t miss hours in the 24 hours social media cycle, you should probably cut back your exposure my dude.
Fuck your advertisment.
Honestly the Bluetooth app is dog shit. Haven’t used it in years because it’s far easier to just roll the dial. ANOVA should be paying me for distress.
Not shit, but isn’t that what brought about mad cow disease? Farmers were feeding cattle brain matter that had infected prions. Idk if it was cows eating cow brains or other animals though.
