They hold "system binaries" meant for root user. It's not a hard distinction but many if not most Linux fundamentals have their roots in very early computing, mainframes, Bell and Xerox, and this good idea has been carried into the here&now. Not sure about the provenance of this one, but it makes sense. isn't /mnt /media different between distros? These aren't hard and fast rules - some distros choose to keep files elsewhere from the "standard".

/bin and /usr/bin, one is typically a symbolic link to another - they used to be stored on disks of different size, cost, and speed.

That is inherently a gift then, donation? No different that giving it away and morally lesser to giving to the poor. Breaks one of the rules.

This sounds like some power IC has a loose connection or cold solder joint and jostling and heating recreates a connection. To be certain, you could try booting with the laptop back panel open, if it fails, use a heat gun to gently apply heat to the motherboard and see if only doing that (without jostling) allows it to wake.

Nothing was ever wrong with calling them “virtual assistants” - at least with them you’re conditioned to have a low bar of expectations. So if it performs past expectations, you’ll be excited, lol.

Literally any microblog that has a webring. You just need to hunt for them from various sources like YouTube and forums.

The previous ones were all attainable without paying and any weapons you got as part of the bundle, while nice, often did not last long unless you were good at the game.

Why exactly a physical copy?

Scary. We don’t contemplate such nightmares. But I’ve forced myself awake from bad dreams so, can’t be too bad.

I keep hearing it’s impossible to go back to a dream but I’ve on occasion woken up and taken back asleep to the same dream. It’s nice.

Ah you know what you’re right. It also displays fine in Brave. It’s just the Memmy app I use has no ad blocker built in. I prefer hard clients as opposed to html clients like that one with the logo of two opposing direction triangles.
