This would be convenient indeed, but I’ve learned to be indifferent about it as long as the manual or readme provides helpful and succinct information.

Manuals or notifications written with lay people in mind, not experts.

Nearly always it’s been during the live USB install of a dual-boot that a distro messes with the grub or installed grub to the USB disk itself. The fault lies with me because I’m almost blindly trusting the distro, but also with the distro for lacking proper yet succinct documentation during the install or configuration of partitions.

The former; the gunplay, maps, and strategical aspects seem excellent, and it looks beautiful. But I spend about 20 minutes in gaming spread over Quake Live and FPV. SkyDive. These are perfect to just play a quick match or two.

Hell Let Loose, simply no time.

Zen as main driver because of its features that are on par with Chromium-based Vivaldi browser, and LibreWolf on “older” machines or systems that require stability/consistency. Both are awesome to me. On Android plain Firefox remains pleasant to use, but open to suggestions.

Xfce for speed, consistency, and reliability. For most of my workflow I began avoiding configuring a DE as much as possible by relying on AutoKey, Input Remapper, and simple terminal commands, because I can import those to fresh installs way easier.

I moved away from Plasma due to too many small yet annoying bugs.

PS all the software I use: https://www.arscyni.cc/file/software.html

Because for decades Microsoft has yielded to Linux’s superiority with unethical anti-competitive behaviour. E.g., it’s hard to compete with hardware that comes pre-installed with Windows.

ELI5 request on lemmy: "You see, dear grandchildren, your grandfather used to have an apple orchard. The fruits were so sweet and nutritious that every town citizen wanted a taste because they thought it was the only possible orchard in the world. Therefore the citizens gave a lot of money to your grandfather because the citizens thought the orchard would give them more apples in return, more than the worth of the money they gave. Little did they know the world was vastly larger than our ever more arid US wasteland. Suddenly an oriental orchard was discovered which was surprisingly cheaper to plant, maintain, and produced more apples. This meant a significant potential loss of money for the inhabitants of the town called Idiocracy. Therefore, many people asked their money back by selling their imaginary not-yet-grown apples to people who think the orchard will still be worth more in the future.

This is called investing, or to those who are honest with themselves: participating in a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme. You see, children, it can make a lot of money, but it destroys the soul and our habitat at the same time, which goes unnoticed by all these people with advanced degrees. So think again when you hear someone speak with fancy words and untamed confidence. Many a times their reasoning falls below the threshold of dog poop. But that’s a story for another time. Sweet dreams."

Almost without fail, every service that touches creeptocurrencies goes into a decline.

Don’t expect Proton to make virtuous ethical choices anytime soon, especially now that Trump joined the cult. Once the greed bug has bitten, making a profit supersedes delivering a good product as the primary objective.

Thanks for taking the time.

I don’t know Nostr and creepto incentivizes greed. A pitchfork is all you need.

Telegram used to be so darn satisfying to use years ago, but as soon as they started peddling a crypto"currency" it all went downhill. Deleted my account a month ago.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a chubby man with a beard made this.

How weird that Elon Musk didn’t build a small fire extinguishing submarine.
