I don’t understand. Where do you think the content you get from invidious is coming from?

i’m very happy with vacuumtube over a vpn

Anyone ever notice how these “linux isn’t ready for mainstream” posts so often have straight up factual errors, like this one?

Is this reaally from a Microsoft misinformation farm somewhere? /s

run these two commands:

sudo apt install mlocate

sudo updatedb

if it is the difference between heartburn everyday and not, then 100% worth it

I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the “noexec” option.

i love mpd and will check this out

The vast majority of people have no experience installing an OS and likely never will.

The typical user uses whatever is preinstalled when the get the hardware.

My father-in-law wrecked his windows pc with malware over and over so I bought him a Wow PC https://www.mywowcomputer.com/ and he loves it. I don’t think he has any idea its running linux.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.

Word Grinder hits all the marks.

I tried this setup for a bit. I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.

It seems like the author is confusing open source with Open Source. The latter has a formal definition which includes a lot more than simple access to source code.

I also agree that no one is entittled to free support or enhancements, bugfizes, etc.

Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.

I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.

I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

Sorry but the pinephone is not great. I have one and its extremely underpowered to the point of uselessness.

Its like trying to use a 486 to as a current desktop.

What does this have to do with linux? You can run that stuff on FreeBSD and go take out your misplaced frustrations on their forum just as well…
