RIP your inbox lol. Like others have said though whatever you choose test it out booting off a USB first, fwiw I’d vote try FedoraKDE, but more importantly I’ll add this:

Whatever you choose it will be different and it will be an adjustment in some capacity, and that’s ok! And don’t be scared of the terminal, always keep back ups just in case but you really can’t fuck up tooooo bad unless you’re using sudo and then just be real careful. Watch a few youtube videos on something like “linux terminal basics” or “bash basics” and follow along like you’re taking a class, it’ll really help you get familiar with it. It’s a great thing to know how to use, these days if I know how to do it through the terminal I usually will instead of puttering through a gui honestly.

I figure I’d be mostly ok, the email I use for things I’d need to save is stored locally by thunderbird so I could still access those emails, the only problem would be changing the email on a few services.

The hardest part would be replacing that email address. That said, anyone have a rec for a good email service, preferably free, with IMAP/POP3 for use with tbird, that is at least ostensibly private (I know, email is inherently not private, but ykwim), and doesn’t just get shoved in spam on gmail (since that’s what everyone else has)? Riseup would be cool for instance but it’s impossible to get an invite. I’m thinking I may just pay mailbox.org but I’d prefer not to. Unwilling to self host, evidentially it’s easy to fuck your shit up by self hosting email.

Sometimes you can reach out to support and get them to fix it, but not always. Worth a shot, if you can remember the services that need to be changed lol.

Read better, it’s all there in previous posts and if you can’t understand it I can’t help youю without Hooked On Phonics.

Actually users on .ml, hexbear, and thank god I’m able to avoid grad but probably them too, claim exactly that all the time. Might want to teach your own commerades instead of me, комиссар.

Eh, I disagree. Left isn’t “when good,” right isn’t “when bad.” There are bad leftists, and you’re looking at them, right there on .ml, grad, and hexbear. These morons actually believe not only that “those states would have dissolved themselves given the opportunity if it wasn’t for ‘western interference,’” they also have such hubris to believe that if they tried the same thing they’d actually achieve what none of them did in the past. They can’t grasp that their autocrats would never cede power either to usher in Communist Utopia™.

I agree, of course if everyone quit like I did because otherwise I couldn’t afford both rent AND food, you wouldn’t be able to order your precious delivery. Thankfully for you there is a never ending supply of poor saps willing to be exploited by the business and you so they just replaced me with some other guy you can stiff and look down upon who gets paid even less base pay than I did! You really helped!

So cook, by taking part in the exploitative system, not only are you contributing to it, but by not tipping on top of that the only person you’re hurting is the worker. That worker has never even met the CEO, the CEO doesn’t give two shits that while he got his money the guy on the bottom got stiffed. Yes it’s inconvenient, but if you have grandiose ideas about how the entire system should change, you should take part in said change not by exploiting that worker yourself but by boycotting the whole business; or by ordering, tipping, and trying to poach them for employment at your business; or by opening your own spot and paying fairly to set an example and provide others like you a place to buy guilt free; something other than “fuck you for bringing me food I hope you starve or have to live in a tent, tell your boss to pay you better I’m sure he won’t just find a ‘quieter’ employee like he did to all the others.”

The US, famous for it’s suicide nets to stop restaurant employees from jumping into the fryers, couldn’t possibly be matched for exploitation of workers by any other current country. The notion that other countries could be more exploitative is laughable, in fact.

Hang on a second, I’m being passed a note…

Well this is embarrassing, it turns out those suicide nets are on Apple’s China factory, where the 996, or 9a-9p 6d/w, work schedule is quite the norm.

Yeah and before the Ipads it was a little jar with the word “tips” on it, but nobody uses cash anymore so they have to ask for that $1 (are coffees still $5? Mine is $2.95 so it’s $0.59) digitally now. Of course, the robot probably isn’t worried about making rent this month so it’s probably safe not to tip bots, but I don’t mind sliding a dollar to the nice girl providing me the happy juice. If I did I’d just make coffee at home or stop at the gas station and serve myself though, I wouldn’t go to a place with a human that expected a tip. Idk, if I’m going to force someone to suffer I’d rather just eat the bullet and drink shitty gas station coffee than be the 100th person to symbolically tell someone to fuck themselves and die this morning while they contemplate if they’d rather pay the power bill or get groceries this week but that’s just me.

Yes, and the solution is to pay the business their money but stiff the worker so he quits and the business can extort some other poor sap down on his luck, that’ll teach those rich bastards who never knew the delivery guy existed to begin with! Definitely don’t change your habits and instead cook, pick up, or only order from places that do pay fairly, because that would inconvenience you, and strong opinions are only fun if they burden someone innocent who isn’t you!

Tbh I’ll order pizza from the good shop 10min away before I order from the shithole 2min away. The difference? “Good food.”

I always pick up, but still this could be understandable.

US, could have been old stock, could have been “yeeeeahhhh…firmware…” because it was like 3mo ago lol.

Either way “leave Brittney Baofeng alone!” I like my shitty illegal radios that can broadcast on the convenient channels at .5w too high!

(I’m a different guy, but) I don’t necessarily agree or disagree with them buying banned cameras, because I lack prerequisite knowledge to form an accurate conclusion. Namely, I need to know if I agree with the ban.

Take for example Baofeng/Btech HAM radios, or the Yaesu FT-60 (“E” iirc, not all models). Those are banned for sale in America, not because of chinese spyware, but because the FCC has decided you cannot use part 95 radios to transmit on GMRS or FRS frequencies, and since those radios allow the user to transmit on those freqs, they are illegal to sell in the US. The other models of Yaesu FT-60 lock those channels out and you have to desolder a chip to unlock it, making it legal to sell. Baofeng supposedly was told to do the same or it’s illegal to sell their radios, and well, last one I bought was still able to transmit on those freqs, so it looks like I bought “illegal chinese radios.” I don’t care though, because I think that law is stupid. It’s literally just because you’re limited to 2.5w max on those channels and those radios are 3-5w, so you can totally just put it on low (a whole .5w over the limit) and who cares?

Now, if it’s not something stupid like that and instead the cameras are banned for a good reason like spying (and they probably are,) sure, I disagree with them buying the cameras. But if it’s some FCC bullshit like that? Fuck it.

Or any other myriad of porn sites, or torrents, or usenet, or still pornhub via VPN…

Which tbh even if it did work to create a “utopia,” imo a utopia by force is dystopian by nature.

Yeah, use that number in the settings part, where it says port. Iirc since it has a range you do the port on one and then one number higher on the other, i.e “port 666 - port 667.”

You have to port forward at the VPN level, this is why everyone was pissed at Mullvad for ending it earlier this year. Currently the only VPNs supporting it afaik are ProtonVPN and AirVPN. You can still dl/ul without PF, but you can only connect to people who do have it enabled if you do not (for instance, mullvad stops me from PF now, so we could not connect if you had the VPN, but we could without VPN if it says “open.”)

I’m shocked! You mean to tell me that the country that will throw you in jail for a tasteless facebook post doesn’t support free speech, the right to assemble, or the right to protest? Who’da thunk it?

Yeah so pirate, buy used, you don’t have to contribute to her net worth. And I’m not talking about just “Just Kidding Rowland,” it doesn’t mean I’m transphobic for reading HP though. You can like the books and disagree with their author.
