No, and I’m sure the various OS’s that have been made by Governments have their (sometimes severe) flaws. But it is a potential solution to government reliance on corporate technologies nevertheless.

Yeah, Oracle.

Interesting old school blog site.

Anyways, I didn’t play this game but one of my favorite Video Essayists talked at length about this game with quite a bit of praise. Perhaps you might like it, perhaps not. You can find it on YouTube, here.

I have a weird take whenever stuff like this comes up but its in my humble opinion that world governments shouldn’t rely on corporate developed software or even maybe hardware.

This is definitely hindsight is always 20/20 sort of thinking but governments should have long ago realized that trusting the likes of Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. would leave them reliant on their innovations and also subject to their whims, mistakes, and more.

Basically I’m saying World governments all need their own internal OS developed and maintained internally by an official subdivision of said governments, and maybe even a separate branch developing internally utilized hardware.

Never gonna happen, and I’m sure there are issues with this solution, but its a hypothetical I think about whenever something tech related and the government comes up in the news, which is pretty much every day now.

Yes, also fair enough. Alpine as well.

So let’s see. This adds us up to:

Arch, Debian, Alpine, Slackware, Opensuse, Gentoo, Void, Fedora/Redhat, Nix.

And yeah I’ve used docker with Alpine before. I think i used ot as a base to setup redis, postgresql, and some other service a while back. I’m not hating on any distro, just very forgetful of even what I read 15 sec ago.

Very fair. Forgot about OpenSuse. Thank you.

Fair. I suppose adding on Slackware, OpenSuse, and NixOS is in order, as they each have their own package management solutions, which to me is the discerning factor for most of the base distributions. That said Gobo Linux is a weird one I’ve simply not heard of until now. Thanks for the heads up.

There are only five distros. Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora/Red Hat, and Void. Pretty much all others are just Arch or Debian with preinstalled desktop environments, theming on top of said environments, and preinstalled packages depending on the intended use case.

Not a knock nor a praise, just a truth.

Hey look, it’s a miracle. A sack of shit has started to speak!

Oh…wait…it’s just Andrew Tate, my mistake.

Why has nobody cleaned that thing off the surface of the Earth yet?

As well as it was wrapped up all things considered, I really wish they had gotten another season or three. The show was just that good. The acting, writing, art style, all top notch. This award is more than well deserved.

I’ll be looking into this graphic novel. Thanks for the post!

Just use LibRedirect extension to redirect to an invidious instance. Take the URL of the video you want to watch and download the video using yt-dlp. Watch it on your desktop using mpv.

On Android, use Newpipe or Tubular Fork of Newpipe to download video. Better yet, use Seal with Sponsorblock flags to download and watch without sponsor mentions. Watch using mpv.

On iOS, use Brave browser…

I’ve been using IronFox since it came out and I don’t think it has been out for 2 years yet… are you thinking of Mull from which it was forked when DivestOS stop being maintained?

Also, I’ve been using Librewolf since its early days too, and their updates are always only 1 to 2 days behind an updated Firefox. I know cuz ai update daily on my Artix Linux machine and have both browsers. Whenever Firefox is updated its usually the same day or a day later that Librewolf is also updated to the same version number.

I get the concern, but honestly the Librewolf devs have proven themselves at keeping pace with the upstream for quite a few years now. Hopefully the Ironfox devs can do the same.

Damn, Microsoft rolling out the “Fuck You” hits lately. Allowing hate speech against Transgender people on LinkedIn, and now this shit on Github, not even mentioning the absolute bullshit their Desktop is these days.

Never been a better time to be eying alternatives. Fuck you Github CEO, fuck you LinkedIn, fuck you Microsoft, and fuck you Satya Nadella! 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Well I wasn’t too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it’s just…really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.

Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.

Been using this for years. Followed them from Github to Gitlab to now GitFlic. There are ways you can get the filter list to work with Ublock Origin, but this extension is more consistent. Bless magnolia1234 for continually keeping this gem up to date.

Many in the past, but the most recent is Project Zomboid. That game would quickly take away decades of my life if I let it.

Exactly.

The easiest thing to do is make friends with plenty of people IRL through a shared hobby or interest. Those that are interested in being FWB will make themselves apparent over time. Just be honest and when appropriate, let people know you’re DTF, but not looking for anything more than sex right now.

There aren’t many people not looking for long term monogomous committed relationships. There might even be none in your area depending on your age and other factors. But that’s the best advice I can give on the matter.

EDIT: I know you said dating apps and IRL aren’t working for you right now, but honestly, there really are only two places to find people: online and IRL, so my advice still stands.
