Hm, maybe I should buy stocks in dog fashion afterall…

Which inherently makes it so that specific demographics of people will never be able to use it.

You save and shut down, silly.

You heard it here first folks. Linus said that AI is saving Linux, since it’s in NVIDIA’s interest to support the OS and AI will make Linux adoption less of a boogeyman.

Just remember, Linus said it not me!

Edit: not to imply that I said, or believe this. I’m just kind of surprised that he would (although the NVIDIA point seems spot on)

There’s a lot of good suggestions here.

As someone who uses Linux but doesn’t love it, be prepared to restart from scratch a lot. Keep the OS on a blank drive and just point the OS to your storage drives once it’s up and running.

Otherwise you are going to be losing data every time you break something in the OS, and that is really no fun.

Create a script to send important data records (if you need that for taxes or inventory data etc) as a nightly routine, that way you have a consistent database for any important records.

Then just create a restore point. If it breaks in 2 weeks, then you just relaunch it and know that it’s going to kill itself in 2 weeks. A simple restart to that restore point solves everything.

Sounds 100% functional to me!

Storyboarder is definitely great, although I wouldn’t say it’s geared towards 2D animation. You could use it like a flipbook, but I think it’s more suited towards Storyboard planning.

There’s 2 modes, 2D sketching and 3D modeled posing, the latter of which is far, far faster to plot out scenes than hand drawing each one. Again, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t use it for 2D, just that it’s not inherently designed for that process. Still, it’s a great program that lets you add voiceovers, has multiple text boxes for details, and has a pretty decent selection of art tools.

That’s the sort of question that requires distinguishing the amount of pollution you would make versus the thing you are blowing up. It may factor in if they will rebuild it and continue, or if they would not rebuild.

I would hazard a guess that in the majority of circumstances, blowing up a polluting company would be less pollutive than said company is, except for if they were to rebuild (since I would consider the resources for rebuild a necessity since you blew them up).

This is not an endorsement to explode anything, this is simply an analysis of factors about factories and their ecological terrorism.

It is both. If every individual does a harmful practice, that is 8 billion individuals contributing to pollution. Hence why we should aim to mitigate on our side.

At the same time, you and I can mitigate our entire lives and still put out less than the corporations and other individuals who care less, but it still is contributing.

I don’t think we should be militant about it, just mindful. We should be militant towards corporate pollution, and mindful of our own consumption.

I highly recommend Pistol Whip!

Use a LiveBoot one, then you don’t have to!

I like TailsOS, which is an amnesiac system that runs entirely in RAM and boots from a USB hard drive. The goal for the operating system is to be a safe operating system for people who are in compromising situations - from international reporters to survivors of domestic abuse, it is a way to highly reduce your ability to be tracked.

The downsides of amnesiac systems are obvious - without enabling the setting for permanent storage, effectively everything you do on the OS is lost every time. And if you do enable persistent memory, well, that’s not exactly entirely safe if you are caught out.

What I like the OS for though is as someone who is not compromised or in a situation where I need these privacies (despite appreciating them), my usage of it makes it safer for others who are using it (since internet is through Tor), and I feel more comfortable using computers in the wild when needed, since I’m not logging in on the public operating system that will be used by everybody else.

Many people give these projects flack or diminish their values as a “daily driver”, but I think often times forget the important aspects of them. They may not be a daily driver for you or I by nature of our needs, but they are certainly important daily drivers for others. In addition to that, supporting a project that helps people in compromised situations and becoming another node to bounce off of (again, Tor, not inherent to the usage of this OS) is a nice additional benefit.

Tl;DR amnesiac operating systems because they’re simple, straightforward, and make you feel more like whitehat hackerman when you’ve done nothing at all.

Idk, random sticky substance is kinda selling rn

It’s a phone service and business communications. I have to use it for work
