Are you joking or not? If you’re not joking, I think you may be projecting your own stupidity at that age onto everyone else. Teenagers are perfectly capable of signing up for an account on a social media website… In fact, they’re kind of notorious for doing so.
How does permissive licensing lead to corporate takeover? Companies can do proprietary forks of permissively licensed foss projects, but they can’t automatically take over the upstream.
From the sounds of it, it’s just a hobby project for fun for OP. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing something just for the sake of it.
Not “everything”, and I wouldn’t say there’s any distro that lets you “control everything”. e.g. look at Alpine Linux, which uses musl, busybox, and OpenRC, whereas Arch uses glibc, GNU coreutils, and systemd. These three choices are “locked in” for Alpine and Arch—you can’t change them. And it’s unlikely for any distro to let you choose all these things because that creates a lot of maintenance work for the distro maintainers.
I suppose Linux From Scratch lets you “control everything”, but I wouldn’t call it a distro (there’s nothing distributed except a book!), and hardly anyone daily drives it.
I use Artix (fork of Arch with init freedom)—the main reason why I prefer an Arch base specifically is for the AUR. The reason why I prefer a minimalistic distro in general, is because I want to be able to choose what software I install and how I set up my system. For example I don’t use a full DE so any distro that auto-installs a DE for me will install a bunch of software I won’t use. You also usually get a lot more control over partitioning etc with minimalistic distros—lets me fuck around with more weird setups if I want to try something out.
To be clear I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using distros that have more things “pre-packaged”. It’s a matter of personal preference. The category of “poweruser” makes sense—some users want more fine-grained control over their systems, whilst some users don’t care and want something that roughly works with minimal setup. Or perhaps you do care about fine-grained control over your system, but it just so happens that your ideal system is the same as what comes pre-installed with some distro. Do whatever works for you.
By hand. I don’t have a dishwasher. The place I rent didn’t come with one, and I don’t have the space for my own (plus no money). I think I’ve only ever met one person with a dishwasher, although I suppose I wouldn’t know if someone has one unless I either go to their house or they bring it up. I don’t see the issue with doing dishes by hand, and I pay a flat rate for water so water usage is not a concern to me.
The android development always just seemed… off, idk, I just got weird feelings about it and the fork.
Could you elaborate at all?
That’s about the upstream Syncthing Android app. This post is about a fork that was continued to be maintained after the “official” Android app stopped being developed.
I add it to soups. Sometimes I just have it raw as the vegetable side of a meal
Most popular VPNs have some form of obfuscation options in their apps. But if you’re using e.g. raw Wireguard you won’t be able to use their obfuscation function.
Btw technically they can’t really outlaw VPNs as a whole, only commercial/“privacy” VPNs. They couldn’t really tell if you’re e.g. using your friend’s PC as a VPN to access their LAN, since it’s a residential IP. Unless they’re looking for Wireguard packets, but that seems like an unlikely law since it’d piss off a lot of businesses that use VPNs to let their workers access the company intranet at home.
I didn’t mean it as nitpicking. I was just responding to you?
I think FDE is different to full partition. If your home partition is encrypted but not your root partition, that’s not FDE. I would say FDE is when the partition that you mount to / is encrypted.
Surely Google has the resources to fix the bugs themselves. Most FOSS projects probably appreciate code contributions more than money.
I don’t like JS either but it’s not a big deal. You can whitelist sites with noscript.
English is my third language, but I read a lot of English books as a kid and spent a lot of time in English-speaking circles. I don’t feel disadvantaged compared to a native speaker as I’m fluent and have been speaking English for a long time.
i3 doesn’t work with Wayland because it’s an X11 WM… You wouldn’t complain about X11 because Sway doesn’t work on it.
Btw, Sway is a drop-in Wayland replacement for i3 if you want to move to Wayland. i3 configs work with Sway; it’s an i3 clone.
If you mean political leaders targeted by imperialist propaganda, most of them have written books or other writings that you can read and get accounts from their own mouth. Mao probably fits your bill (vilified by Western media) and his writing is very accessible and easy to read (he wrote largely for illiterate peasants) so that might be something to interest you.
No but not due to hostility. We just don’t talk anymore the way you don’t talk to some old friends anymore, ie just drifted apart. All my breakups have luckily been amicable.
aerc+mbsync+notmuch
If you want a GUI, I was using Evolution before aerc and I was happy with it. I just prefer keyboard navigation which naturally is well supported by any TUI application.
I understood what federation was just fine when I was a teenager. Again, projecting your own stupidity. Teenagers are perfectly capable of using email.
