Forgot to add /s on my post. Sorry!

I was only aiming for the lulz because cities outdoor particulate matter or PM 2.5 is terrible, and mostly generated by cars. But their sales/ companies lobby are stronger than those of nowadays tobacco brands...

You don't need to announce every time you're blocking someone, it's a bit obnoxious to all the readers. I'm not going to moderate the insults at the moment but this thread is on the verge of being locked or whatever... and this is not meant to you. Everyone should try keeping it a little bit more civil. Chill, this is just a bit of news, no need to start a war between smokers and non smokers.

Why don't we start by banning outdoor use of fossil fuels? :)

We can't recommend Arch to beginners. The maintenance is too high.

But yes, the support on rolling distros is great.

In any case, I'm surprised all the issues OP gets are from support for a fan? Something is terribly wrong here. I'd rather switch to any other fan (they're cheap!) and blame the manufacturer. Move along.

For windows9x UI there are retro themes (e.g. xfce4 as DE can be themed with https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 ). For a distro, try zorin os maybe? Is focused on giving a modern windows-like UI and feel. In any case, my recommendation goes to debian or mint.

Desktop environments are tightly coupled to distros. At work, I got ubuntu. Got root, installed kde plasma. It works, but only because ubuntu is huge and has a "meta package", and if you're experienced enough not to switch the login to sddm, is all good. But even so, this goes to show that even if you can build your own system by swapping parts, this doesn't mean is simple. Most linux users simply take a distro and don't wander too far from it...

Oh! I should get back to it... Togrther with the winamp skins I had downloaded from internet archive.

Plus projectM from Steam, and Spotube... I could stop using the monthly subscription for (*1) an ugly UI that barely handles drag-and-drop and is a mess to make my playlists with.

(*1) tbh, the recommendation engine got me hooked at first, but my interest has been fading away.

Actually, drinkable water is one of the major difficulties during a a flood. So they're not awfully wrong to carry those beers.

Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).

Ohhh. This is great!! Thanks :)

They were cutting files in smaller parts and spreading over multiple locations and countries. At least that was the claim in the early days, so anything illegal would require lawyers on many jurisdictions sending the same letter (e.g. DMCA takedown)

Ironically, it did work but now that Durov is in jail channel admins would do good to take precautions.

In case anyone needs the clarification, facism is not about exposing who thinks what. Facism is about extermination of the opposition, and minorities. And, one huge point against facism is that they can stop being bigots. Meanwhile, minorities that would suffer from a facist regime have no real option to stop having a skin color, religion, or sexual orientation.

That's the whole point about exposing these "customers". To make them feel shame (or threatened, if that works) so they disengage any political actions. It's about disjointing fascist activities and the danger they pose to society.

I wish him a happy life, it would be great if he abandons his faith now that the farce is over. And it's not late to repair on the damages he's done during his political career.
