I liked the soft gradient XP icons, though maybe that’s just the nostalgia talking

It really isn’t. I do agree that for most purposes a static network with some central public nodes is the answer, but I want something more dynamic

Yeah but how do you use it? There’s no searchable index as far as I’ve seen

What is i2p good for? I install it evert now and then, give it a whirl, and then uninstall it

I was also wondering about this. Flatpaks apparently come with more libraries to interact with other Flatpaks, whereas AppImages tend be purely app-specific and their libraries are compressed for their usage only.

Its very easy to use and my goto image editor, but I say that from a position of familiarity of having learned where everything is and what all the keybindings are over many years.

In contrast, Krita seems like a far better image editor, but because the interface is bewildering to me, I’ve shied away from it.

69 Quite Bitter Beings have been waiting for this for some time

xfce4. Stable as hell. X11. Can move windows around using just some keypresses.

booooo

Thanks for the informed context – I think my brain is just predisposed towards seeing such efforts as disingenuous, but I should learn to criticize companies after they do bad things, and not before.

Well, that sounds promising at least. I hope their interests continue to align with their consumer-base for another 20 years, and doesn’t nosedive into the CEO rot we’ve seen with Mozilla

I’m not really. Who are these guys and why am I hearing about them on every social media outlet.

They’re a company whose sole aim is to make money. Right now they’re in the goodwill phase of building community trust, but what’s their endgame? Is this an emerging market they’re cornering.

I know these sound like sarcastic questions, but I’m genuinely wondering.

This company sure has been making the rounds on the internet. I estimate maybe 1-2 years before they decide to cash in on their goodwill with some kind of monetary product

Code dump for the curious?

I think the spork through me off, but yep I get it now - thanks!

I’ve read this a few times and my brain just cant process what you’re saying. Do you write for Eric Andre?

I played SWG as a kid, and I can tell you that it sucked. I think it would have been more fun if I’d played it as an adult.

I was talking with a techhead from the 80s about what he did when his tape drives failed and the folly that is keeping data alive on a system that doesn’t need to be. His foolproof backup storage is as follows.

1. At Christmas buy a new hard drive. If Moore’s law allows, it should be double what you currently have
2. Put your current backup hardrive into a SATA drive slot. Copy over backup into new hard drive.
3. Write with a sharpie the date at which this was done on the harddrive. The new hard drive is your current backup.
4. Place the now old backup into your drawer and forget about it.
5. On New Years Day, load each of the drives into a SATA drive slot and fix any filesystem issues.
6. Put them back into the drawer. Go to step 1.
