As always, I got the username wrong…
That’s sounds very passive-aggressive tbh.
“Patrick forgot to do the dishes again”
“Oh, really? Well, maybe Patrick is too busy with his WORK?! You know? Maybe someone else could do the dishes instead.”
“Oh, yeah? So maybe Patrick should provide to this house? What does he do again? OH, RIGHT, SELLING CAKES! You know what? I’m gonna quit the CIA coz Patrick’s job is soooooo important so I can do the chores instead of him!”
It’s called Trauma Reenactment according to Freud.
Not only that, but also, how am I supposed to find the artist’s other comics or the follow up if it’s a series? Reverse search? It’s incredibly stupid.
Unfortunately VMs aren’t a solution for my use case since I need no latency realtime audio or GPU acceleration
Specialist audiovisual, and 3D software.
If I can’t do something I don’t do it.
But I can, all I need is a pirate copy of the software, and extra SSD and computer goes brrrr.
Life is too short for me impose restrictions on myself and missout on life just because Richard Stallman says so.

The complication comes from when I need to use proprietary windows-only software for whatever professional or recreative reasons.
Free (as in freedom) software is great for 90% of situations, but there are things free software just can not do.
Wine exists but it’s mostly focused on video-games, and honestly, it’s such a pain to get a windows program to run on wine that I prefer to just have a second SSD with Faildos and boot from it when I eventually need to use such programs. Which I make sure to unplug the ethernet cable when I do.
It’s their parent’s, OP is worried about them and you’re telling OP to abandon them?
Crypto is mostly useful for extralegal activities.
You can technically donate for some services with it, but to acquire crypto you need to either KYC to some exchange which isn’t not only a massive pain, but there are very serious privacy implications with it. Or you can acquire it via other means which means you will be buying it at high prices.
Also note that most cryptocurrencies aren’t anonymous, every transaction is public in the block chain and can be traced back to you.
So if you really know what you’re doing you can use privacy coins as a tool to transfer money anonymously, but that’s pretty much it’s only real world application.
Also, from what I understand (I’m no cryptographer) cryptocurrencies use public key cryptography so quantum computers may in the future break all cryptocurrencies and well deanonymise all previously anonymous privacy coins transactions stored in the blockchains.
The old question right? Does a simulated (or rather emulated) brain actually think and feel? Or does the computer just output what it would be if it was alive?
I think before I am, but I can’t prove that I’m self aware and not just “pretending” to do so. But because you are a human being like me, I understand that you do too. But that assumption is broken when you are not a physical organism but software running on a computer.

Just some internet drama, don’t mind it too much.
I don’t know but I expect it from corporate distros like Fedora, Ubuntu and Opensuse.
I don’t think community distros would ever do something like that (despite all the drama going with arch).
Are you over 18 to download Krita?
Visual inspection, smell and then taste.
Please do that to my friend, please do that to my friend.
Ofc I respect his freedom to use whatever apps he chooses to use, what do you mean?
Anyway. Please meta, ban my friend from meta and make sure to track his device ID/IP/cookies etc so can can’t make a new acc.
The phone makers want nothing to do with it and are actively fighting it in court as best they can.
Doubt. This way they have excuses to farm user data.
Galaxy A14, which was the only new phone I could afford for 140 Euros (+ 50 Euros for the 512 GB microsd card) that offered the longest security updates.
Thought of getting an used Pixel 2XL and install (now defunct) divestos on it, but then the battery would be certainly dead and didn’t want to risk replacing it myself.
But you cost money monthly, require insurance, taxes, food, human rights.
Machine is a one time purchase.
On my pockets:
Phone, wallet which includes ID, a disposable card (to open doors if someone forgets the keys inside), cheap wired hearbuds (in case I forget my headphones), a flash drive, transport pass, a debit card with 8 euros balance, and 3 euros cash.
On my neck:
Headphones
I sometimes also bring my camera bag:
Camera body, 2 lenses, field recorder, dead cat and extra batteries.
