I make plymouth do the verbose mode because it’s cool and hacker-y. Also I like when it says “failed” and I know what failed. For a few weeks I kept having to manually start firewalld and I never would have known otherwise, update seems to have fixed that though.

Tbf, I really only have experience with fedora and thus systemd, so, I like it but I “don’t know what I’m missing” in a sense.

I hear this one too and honestly, it does negatively effect them, they just don’t see it because it feels like it’s always been there. But give them ad-block for a week and then take it away…

“These are not said by the employees, because of the power dynamic where if they say anything I could and would get them fired out of pure pettyness, so they just silently hope I die in a car crash on the way home.”

Ftfy.

With all that said, until things change, for sake of the underpaid employees, please tip just know you don’t have too. If they treat you kindly and respectfully, tip, if not, smallest tip possible.

A’ight, that’s cool at least as long as you tip in the current system but push for change, no prob there. But make no mistake the only reason the employee doesn’t say anything is the power dynamic, they’re thinkin’ it!

He’s suggesting “fuck the worker, it isn’t my problem if they can’t pay rent, they should learn to code.” And somehow that will make the business owner pay them a fair wage and not replace them with a machine or a 16yo kid.

Same, can’t switch off Subbed/Active(or hot idr).

Yeah that is annoying as hell. Like I get it if it’s just like “my files are private, I’ll open them if you have shares” but that whole “I need X album FLAC and a $50 baskin robbins gift card and then I might share with you” shit is the lamest thing I’ve ever seen.

…all communities named “piracy” are not the same, the full community name technically includes the instance, they are each their own “subreddit.” You could subscribe to all of them if you wish, or to just “the largest one,” but you can think of them as say “lemmyworldpiracy” and “beehawpiracy” and so on, they are just different communities.

It’d be like if two separate 15yo kids ran a fan page for their favorite anime character and expecting them to be identical simply because they are both about Goku, they’re just different “sites” by different people, they just aren’t the same thing simply because they’re about the same topic.

As long as you know your supposed “goal” of “helping” isn’t accomplished and that server now hates you, and the owner you’re opposing got his share and doesn’t even know you exist, do what you wish I suppose.

And that’ll only hurt the poor employee’s efforts to pay rent this month. The employer could care less, and sure you may make them mad enough that you’re the last straw and they quit, but I’d be hard pressed to think you’re magnanimous for it.

All the classics of course, but to go for a lesser mentioned one: Frankenfish.

Thanks for the info!

It’s definitely still active, Praise “Bob”. Idk about the dependancies though.

Mmmmmm my torrents say otherwise. Can’t stop me! Shit like this is why I torrent unless you’ve got tapes or wax for me.

I think I will soon, thanks for the pep talk lol, I legit did need it! I think that even if the process is a little tough, it’s possible that the product brings me Slack. Hell maybe I’ll like the process too, who knows, learning can bring Slack sometimes too!

I actually am interested partly because of their history, the creator is of the same religion as I am and his creation was announced in like '94 on the old Hour Of Slack radio show affiliated with said religion. In fact, Slackware is a direct nod to our concept of Slack, and there’s even pics of our guru J. R. “Bob” Dobbs on the slackware site in the banners section. I know it isn’t dead because 15 came out earlier this year (or was it late last year?) so they must be active and not dead, just hard to find lol.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll maybe try it on an old asus I use mainly for booting tails on soon. That’s the only device I have with windows for emergencies and nothing I have is powerful enough to run VMs I don’t think, but tbh that windows install barely works and I haven’t needed it in two years, so “fuck it,” right?

How hard is it? I really want to try Slackware one day but I’m not the most adept at linux yet. Really only have experience with Fedora, Tails, Puppy, and antix so far.

Hard to find people to ask about it, as you said because of the smaller userbase. I did look yesterday though and there are some youtube videos on slackware 15 set up, so I may be ok with those. Still kinda nervous lol.

Fedora for me, what I started on. Want to try Slackware though.

Great post, saved for future use. I’d say myself that while Fedora may not be aimed at beginners, it is pretty good for beginners nonetheless. It’s what I started on (after dipping my toes in Tails, which also has it’s use cases but more importantly here demystified linux for me and made me comfortable with it. Then windows pissed me off one last time and the rest is history.)

The fedora community in my experience has been very helpful, though that was reddit, so we shall see what the future holds.

XMPP (with omemeo) is the classic (and also what FB messenger uses behind the scenes, without omemo), Matrix is the new kid on the block taking over. Both are decentralized sorta like the fediverse (but separate from said fediverse.)

Used to use Signal, but they’re removing SMS support so everyone might as well switch to matrix. Wickr was bought by amazon (and they say they won’t ruin it, riiiight), so that’s out. Idk enough about briar or session, and telegram isn’t as secure as people seem to think.
