Yeah if you wanna go tht way you have to go etheral and memory only. That means either a VM with auto reset, or tails or something. However, this is not feasible for the average Linux user.

Is that real? And why are we living in an age where this would be quite mundane?

This is more of a “be aware of your footprint” and less of a “security concern”. This post is pressing hard on the fear of data getting stolen, however none of these things are major ways in which your data gets stolen.

It’s phishing, social engineering, default configurations, weak passwords, no MFA, compromised online-services and supply-chain-attacks, and then, and only then are we even talking about actual CVEs in your local system and app environment. And usually we are talking old ones; for apps which you haven’t updates in a while, as they are the most common.

What I’m saying is for your target audience, this is exactly the wrong thing to focus on. Tech savvy users might wanna look into this but they are very likely aware of all these things, and amateurs definitely should focus on basic security practices.

What is your life’s purpose?

I used to ask friends about it because I was in a bad spot. I got “to have fun” “nothing” and “I’m depressed, so I’m looking for one”. There’s no right or wrong, but it can be incredibly helpful to motivate you day-to-day actions if you feel stuck not knowing what to do.

Mine is “to be helpful to other people”. I wanna leave the world knowing I armed the right people with tools to make major positive change. So a lot of my time I dedicate to technical tasks that my friends need help with, and it gives me meaning.

Some can be selfish, some less impactful and some nonsensical. But I think especially people who can’t get out of bed are the ones potentially having the biggest positive influence on the world, and so these people need a reason. And then if you do a small thing every day, you’ll feel like you’re on track, and that feeling is important.

Sry for the rambling but I have thought about this topic a lot ^^’

So you want that community to change because you don’t like it.

It looks everyone else is fine with it. So you got two options: block it on your end, and / or make your own the way you want.

I understand this is not what you expected, but just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it needs to change just for you.

Btw there’s a reason that people don’t like to hear often: we do not have reddit numbers, and therefore if you do not allow reposts from reddit, a lot of communities would be basically dead.

Maybe too many eggs in one basket

Because he specifically argued in his divorce that he suffers cognitive impairment and therefore he projects less future earnings. So he himself basically argued he is not smart enough to earn even as much as the average guy.

So in his own words, he has a cognitive impairment that will not go away. Now either you trust his advice (which assumes it’s good advice, and kinda goes against him saying under oath he will have cognitive impairment) or you think he was saying the truth under oath and now his advice is not worth too much.

Basically you have to decide which version of his you wanna trust. And if I have to decide between “he is dumb” or “he lied under oath”, I know one thing for sure - and that is to be very skeptical of anything he says.

So Bing Bong ended with a bang?

I apologize profusely for my bad taste in humor.

True

To add to the last point, for an inexperienced user (like me) pacman works almost exactly the same.

Just replace sudo apt install banana with sudo pacman -S banana

And replace sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade with sudo pacman -Syu

Edit: apparently the “-y” switch is a bad idea

I thought I had but I might try this again because if everything does work I’ll move in a heartbeat.

So true

I tried but there’s so many things that I need to be able to turn from bad to good in just a few clicks, and that’s basically irreplaceable for me rn.

I tried reaper and even if I learned it more thoroughly it would still result in 3x the time on every single process in song production, mix & master and that’s unacceptable for me.

Heard a lot about bitwig and that would probably be my preferred alternative but that unfortunately still leaves the issue of third party Plugins.

I’ve been trying to find a way to do this properly for quite a while now but I have yet to find a way to do this that’s sustainable long term.

Not trying to talk down your suggestions because I genuinely think they could work for others, just adding more information to why that’s unfortunately not enough for me to switch completely.

Btw for my servers and backup notebooks I already use lots of Linux. Anything not main driver kinda works perfectly with Linux and most of all it keeps on working when I need it. In fact I suspect my hardware will give in before the os and or software will pose any issues.

The more I look into trump the more I see someone with no introspection, incredibly low emotional intelligence and an extreme need for attention and acceptance. He is being profoundly primal in his goals but he goes to extreme lengths to preserve a way to them. This is why I completely agree with you. His goal is incredibly primitive: to keep being the center of attention. He knows he can’t keep all his avenues open because he is losing “loyalty” and supporters; in government but also in his voting populus. His goal will never be to specifically kill Americans but he sure as hell doesn’t mind risking their lives for other goals, and he will grip and claw to preserve as much power in government as he can, using basically every tactic under the sun.

At least that’s what I expect from him and that perfectly lines up with your overall feeling. It fucking sucks to see what we’re in for, but sometimes it’s nice to see how predictable he can be and sometimes knowing what will happen is better than absolute chaos, even when what will happen is generally bad.

Honestly right now there’s no way to use 90% of the industry standard audio plugins and most popular DAWs on Linux. FL Studio and Ableton do work on Linux but very unstable and as long as they’re not stable you can kinda skip the latency talk, because stability is quintessential. You are bound to native plugins and as long as alternatives are way harder to use and take longer to learn configure, there’s a massive overhead, not even talking about the ones that genuinely do not work even with wine and or winetricks, bottle, etc…

The same goes for video and photo editing as well as post effects. Although I have to admit you genuinely have more options and some setups even though not much more stable to technically work already.

Games are also annoying but I just don’t play valorant or battlefield 6 or any other games that are kind of incompatible by design, so if that was the only thing I could manage.

And lastly (but everyone knows), office compatibility is still an issue because sometimes I need to do something in Microsoft office to ensure it still works when I send it over.

Honestly the real deal breaker for me is the first paragraph. I currently mix & master a band and produce music by myself, with friends and do small audio jobs for other people. Gimme an environment I don’t have to pour another decade into and I’ll switch. In it’s current state I will not place a bet that if I give it my all things will still work when I need them to and that’s the bare minimum.

I have to say one thing though: you have every right to be pissed that this is what your tuition money is used for.

But that’s kind of a different conversations and generally a lot of the things your university uses your tuition on are very debatable.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Nothing outlined makes me think this is particularly pro AI. This is more of a reaction to it. Making people understand AI better is a good idea. Providing an AI platform on premise so as to not transmit all of the conversations directly to open ai servers is also a very good idea.

Whether you wanna decide to use it or not is up to you, but all of these things are a) optional and b) they sound quite sensible to me.

I tried Deezer and tidal for a month each. They were both alright, however their offline download for bigger playlists straight up sucked, so that took some sanity out of me and I had to switch back to Spotify ultimately.

Please keep this in mind if you ever consider switching.

I could see that water being “neutral” on taste for most people is probably evolutionary. But I’m just speculating.

I mean it depends on what you wanna do.

Of course if you goal is to make money, drawing comics might be a very tedious way, but if you do it for fun (which I assume) then just do it.

As some people here have mentioned there might be better ways to go about your creation process regarding language, but make it fun first, and then you’ll gladly adapt to make it digestible (at least in my experience).
