Amazon is more than a shop. You can’t escape amazon web services.

The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation…

Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.

Regarding software today it’s easier than it’s ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.

Anyway there is this scene in the show “Bojack Horseman” where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: “It gets easier”, “uh?” answers Bojack, “It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that’s the hard part”.

What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.

Here is the scene from Bojack

That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)

Let this be a lesson for everyone, no matter how young one is, always have a backup plan for the care of people that’s important to you, and for yourself.

Betterbird wouldn’t exist without thunderbird though. Same with all those firefox forks people are recommending, if Firefox goes under most of those would go under too.

I don’t even have kids and I have protection in place at home to block devices from accessing sites, not exclusively porn tho, gambling and social networks.

Porn can be bad, okay, but if we taught our kids properly it’s not that bad and curiosity is ok. Gambling is terrible and more and more people are getting addicted to it.

Fuck government paternalism.

I agree with the point that land is owned by the one strong enough to enforce ownership.

I also think you agree with my point that we don’t own our land, or even our houses, the State owns it and we rent it from them.

I rather buy another Korean or Japanese car. As an European except for the electric r5 I have no interest in European car makers, much less from a company that should have disappeared after dieselgate.

If you pay property taxes then the property isn’t yours.

In my town, the land belongs to the local government.

Funny how you say “my communities” and then “discords run them”.

It’s already bad enough that a lot of dry cat food in the market has grain (and the high cost of grainless alternatives) to even considering giving vegan food to a cat pffff.

Vegan cat food? What the frak, poor cats.

Matrix (element?) can do everything Discord does.

I don’t know why people trusted Discord, it’s one of the worst platforms and I say this while I use it because I had to settle for that (friends) like I had to settle for WhatsApp (family and work)

Irc was better for chat, ventilo and mumble better for audio, and matrix is pretty much the same but better. Discord sucks like Twitter did and I can’t wait for it to go away. And forums are a better platform for help and documentation.

Thank God I convinced my fiancee to move our VCs to Wire, away from WhatsApp and Discord.

The selfhosting movement sets people free in general.
