Downgrade to USB 2

What the fuck?

There’s a community-packaged flatpak for ProtonVPN, you should be able to get it from the software center with the click of a button. The app is very barebones, though, compared to the windows one. But it works.

I might also throw in a distro reccommendation: Fedora Kinoite. It’s an atomic distribution, meaning updates to the distro are applied all at once and the previous version before the update is still available at boot if something goes wrong. Very hard to mess up your installation that way. It uses KDE Plasma which has that windows-ish taskbar, and allows for mouse cursor customization. Updating the OS is done seamlessly through the software center. Applications are also installed through the software manager. If you want to learn to use the terminal and terminal-based applicications, it provides a tool called toolbx which basically lets you do all your terminal things in a container which you can easily replace if you mess something up.

I use facebook marketplace and youtube but that’s it when it comes to corpo social media

Bestbuy is more expensive than just buying the same products online, in my experience

Depends on the electronics. Computer components I try to get from their manufacturers or an online shop like bhphotovideo. Cables I get from reputable suppliers with certifications, from their online shops. Laptops, pre-built computers, etc. i would just get secondhand.

I really wish users would learn the slightest bit how to use their shit

And used them for the aforementioned terrorism

No

Huh? They have thousands of nukes

I did not know that about event handlers, that is actually super convenient

Insects are crustaceans. As are isopods. Interestingly, spiders are not

I’m daily driving fedora kinoite on my laptop and silverblue on my desktop. Set up all my development tasks and local network services and such in toolbx containers. It’s going really well

Why do you want AI to save you for learning and understanding the tools you use?

If you don’t have a backup then you’re likely out of luck. But that’s better than cash, where you can’t make a backup

Then you wanna deposit it immediately to find out, like a seller does

Somewhat

It seems sellers can host their own payment receipt service and the verfication comes from cryptographically signing the money when it’s issued from issuers

Forgive my ignorance, but are these neo religious movements not built on a foundation of consumerism? This would seem to be in contradiction with the material realities of federated, libre software ecosystems

They seemingly wanted to design the entire interface around touchscreen 2-in-1s. If you went in a Microsoft store around the time windows 8 came out, they were leaning really hard into the 2-in-1s. I got a surface pro 3 at that time that I used to take handwritten notes in school, and the windows 8 interface was honestly awesome with that use case. On my desktop PC, though, I held out updating from 7 until windows 10.
