Ubuntu was once an okay-ish distribution, many many years ago. Then Canonical got rogue, made some very sketchy and irritating decisions (walled garden, snap, advertisements with Amazon, now advertisements in their package manager, … so much more)

Ubuntu is the bane of Linux. Use upstream Debian if you like apt; Linux Mint for an easy entry; Arch, if you’re quick of wits and want to widen your knowledge and skillset.

“alcohol free” is not free of alcohol but can contain up to 0.5% alcohol.

This could be fatal for people having had an alcohol addition because that sets them right back into the circle of drug abuse.

Check, check, check, check. Wow.

i use arch btw

apt-get install qbittorrent why would I visit their site for any reason?

And just to add - why is torrenting associated with shady stuff? Linux isos are available and download much faster over it, same for some monolithic applications like LibreOffice and other regular stuff.

Don’t buy trash in the first place. Better for the environment, better for your workflows.

I’d be happier if they release on GOG

Open Source and Open API or bust. Simple as that for me.

Roguelikes come from the age of boomers and gen x, are hard as nails, very complex, have a cursed tome of documentation and take months to reach victory, if at all.

Roguelites are for the modern times.

I chose my external USB CD-drive on the premise I could flash custom firmware to it so to keep the option of new features and enhances functionality, in case someone would do this. Like how OpenWRT came to be.

If you want to enhance the ripping quality or consistency even more you can try the program “Exact Audio Copy” (EAC) or any other sophisticated CD grabber software. It is already around for aaages, that should give you an idea how tricked out specialized software was already decades ago.

Worth a Buy

Problem is that does not generate water. It just takes the water away which is then missing somewhere else and fucks up the other areas which would otherwise be in healthy equilibrium.

Fennec is Firefox for Android and it even supports uBlock, Dark Reader and others.

for Android there’s the client “Conversations” and some others. Just create your account somewhere else, free.

because people might feel uncomfortable sending unnecessary personal information to another party, especially if it does not change often, like the telephone number?

I chuckled more than I would like to admit about that spelled out USB name, dunno, it’s funny

FairPhone 3 user here. It’s true, just updated to Android 13, came with 9.

Additionally: Micro-SD, Dual-SIM, replaceable battery, can be repaired by myself at home, cheap/fair priced replacement parts and ethically sourced ressources.
