Fun fact: If I use my 4G with a device that isn’t a phone, that’s against the terms of service and they can cut my access.

Awesome, that cuts the Steam update time till I can game down to under half an hour!

I love how most comments on AI posts are just about it being AI.
Keep it up. Seize the memes of production!

That works much better for that meme, too.

I’m kinda trying to get back to how it was in the past a bit.
Realize that life happens outside of the internet, and I don’t need to read a stream of news from the other end of the world that I can’t do anything about and don’t affect me yet.

Yeah but burning CDs yourself wasn’t a thing until much later.

I didn’t know it was the last time, and I don’t know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

It would be enough to prove I have a working perpetuum mobile and become rich.

Phone battery. Then I could modify the phone to let it power other devices and have unlimited electricity.
With a full tank of petrol, I’d create pollution if I tried that.

WTF can you link this?

There’s no way in hell 2007 was 18 years ago.

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.

Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter. That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.

I meant not being able to rummage around in /etc .
Since it is read-only, you always have to copy a config file into your home/user/.config/… before you can edit it.

You’re such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.

It was hyperbole. I used Silverblue for a bit trying to avoid layering packages entirely.
But not being able to simply install CLI system tools I’m used to (like btop) or rummaging around in /etc felt really limiting. I realize that’s on me, cause these distros work differently.

Then staying with Windows forever, no matter how shit it’s become and how much it’s changed even compared to just 2 years ago, is the only option.

Fedora Silverblue is basically Android.
You click on apps in a software store to install, it updates itself (without you noticing) on reboot, the terminal is entirely optional and almost entirely useless.

Yes. It’s the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.
