Tried i3 a few years back. Never went back. Fucking love it. Would like to ditch X for Wayland soon though. Need to move to Sway but a bunch of scripts depend on X… Probably wouldn’t be too much of a nightmare to transition, but for some reason I’ve been putting it off for years.
Yeah that latter part of “it was easy for me” in particularly stinks of the elitist attitude i was mentioning. I think its a sign of someone thats not really trying to help but rather to make themselves seem smarter.
If you see lots of it here then I guess this post is fair. But i will standby my remark that if you’re seeing a lot of this kind of mentality then you need to reasses where you are hanging out…
Maybe go to a local LUG instead. People are a bit more desperate to actually help others at those usually.
For those of us who will only buy electronics used, kindle is usually the only option. And far cheaper too. So its nice that the device can be opened up a bit.
Can this make Overdrive/Libby integration easier? Thats really the main thing pissing me off about Kindles.
People are recommending arch to beginners? This is genuinely the first time i hear of this trend and Ive been into linux for over 20 years now.
Not once have I heard arch pushed to beginners at my local LUG or any LUG ive attended in other cities or countries.
People usually recommended Ubuntu in the past or Mint. Occasionally Fedora. Then Elementary had some steam. Nowadays the landscape is much more diverse I think.
Maybe there is some folks on the internet who get a kick out of recommending hard things to people who need easy things. To gatekeep and create an exclusive feel. But i think if youre seeing that regularly then you need to reasses where youre spending time. Because core Linux culture has never been that since i can remember. We have always embraced that different distros are appropriate for different use cases. And that has always been our strength.

Nobody knows his identity or whereabouts. Nobody knows what happened to the soldiers who stopped either.
And thats probably intentionally so, to avoid martyrdom if hes dead. Or to protect his life if he’s not.
And that in itself is a very powerful part of the story.
even tried to drive around Tank Man without success.
That didnt happen. Tank man climbed on top of the first tank and talked to the soldiers. Some people run up and talked to tank man. And then the protestors let the tanks go.
And tank man wasnt the only person blocking tanks that day. Its just a very poweful photograph so people make up stories.
EDIT: Also this was an incredibly brutal past in Chinas history. And its not like the Chineese government wasnt slaughtering hundreds of students and protesters at will. By some estimates more than 300 people were slaughtered right after this occured. Nobody knows what happened to Tank man or the soldiers in the first tank.
So maybe thats why liberals arent asking why in regards to these things. Becuse they didn’t happen.
But I dont disagree with your take otherwise. Though puzzled as to why you didnt fact check what happened before posting. Im sure you can see that masses of people twisting facts is how we got in this mess.
You’re right. Everybody is just being dramatic and pretending they can’t afford to own a home. Especially the people having their homes repossessed. They are the biggest fakers of all.
Can confirm. That’s why im here. Figured I’d just jump earlier with the whole avoiding US companies vibe too.
I know its intimidating but getting a managed instance of nextcloud somewhere like Hetzner is really straight forward. You wont have to do much if any admin past the initial setup.
But services like Proton are a Swiss alternative to a lot of these cloud services.
People dont own land anymore. We live and die in ever-inflating rental properties.
Thats not true
If anything that seems like worthwhile analytics for the dev team to have access to.
Most software lets you opt out of sending anonymous analytics data though.
