post title isn't the same as the article title

lmao. he didn't have the courage to speak out against trump publicly. he didn't have the courage to endorse Harris. he did what he was supposed to do and what any law abiding citizen would have done in his place.

lol. i used Gentoo for 5 years or so. it's the only distribution I don't recommend.

it assumes you have hours of CPU time to waste, and hours of your time to dispatch-config afterwords.

do Debian or arch.

honestly most distros will be fine. what matters more is your desktop environment. pick something light where Bells and whistles can be turned off. i used fvwm for many years on a lower spec system. now I use kde/plasma on wayland.

I've used arch and Debian on low spec systems. both were fine. slightly prefer arch cause it's more up to date

ha. i was wrong. NPR has 44 million weekly listeners. that probably qualifies as mainstream media.

I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners than that. (fyi NPR is the only radioi listen to)

there have been several articles exposing plastic recycling as green washing. unfortunately they never make it to mainstream media

https://www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1131131088/recycling-plastic-is-practically-impossible-and-the-problem-is-getting-worse

i saw a chart somewhere showing less than 1% of plastic in use today is recycled but I can't find it now

vim, fvwm and Debian after 10 years of use.

I found firenvim which allowed me to edit text boxes in Firefox using neovim. couldn't do it with vim, so I switched. love it

I bought a new laptop with a 4k screen. had to have different scaling on my external monitor and laptop screen. fvwm wouldn't handle it... switched to kde/plasma and arch.

not sure if this is the kind of habits u were looking for 😃

I have so many idiot friends who said "I'm not voting for Harris cause of Israel". I'm betting that line was a plant by the Republicans or Putin. but it stuck. and my friends bought it hook line and sinker.

there's a difference between adults (both over 21) is NBD. but one 16 and one 2, or one 17 and one 22 is concerning.

in some states you would be arrested for statuary rape

why exactly do you prefer run0?

with sudo I can allow certain actions I do myself (e. g. system upgrade or change timezone) to proceed without a password, but require a password for everything else. this is important because some scripts elevate privileges via sudo. if I allowed all sudo without password I might be ruined byone badly written script...

I just make /root/.config/nvim a symlink to ~/.config/nvim and running nvim as root gives me all the same settings I'm used to. (I'd rather not run nvim-qt as root though, so in that case sudoedit is useful.)

save 80gb for root, sone swap (if not on an ssd) rest for /home. that way reinstalling or switching has minimal risk of losing my /home
