M500,

Also consider the number of people in India. There is a massive Linux user base there.

M500,

Thanks for the link. I feel like I never do it right 😂

M500,

I have no idea. I hope you find one.

M500, (edited )

As a native speaker, I agree.

But the way check out c/Englishlearning if you are learning English.

There is not much there, but I’m happy to help and answer questions.

M500,

So many things these days are flatpaks and app images. So it almost doesn’t matter.

I’m don’t know your situation but I’m sure there are reasons someone might not be able to use Debian desktop.

Is this VPN comparison breakdown trustworthy?

I’m shopping for a VPN providers, and really struggling to find a detailed and non-biased breakdown of the various options. A number of years ago, I recall finding an extremely detailed VPN comparison spreadsheet that had 30+ columns, which were contained criteria by which the VPNs were judged both quantitatively and...

M500,

So what if the vps hands your data to the feds and the feds are like hey, why was your vps torrenting Paul blart mall cop 2?

What do you say to that?

That’s my only concern with hosting my own vps.

M500,

It’s not too difficult to setup, but I think people don’t realize that even if your not breaking the law, you may still have to deal with charges and going to court for years before your found innocent. All while dealing with the stress of a jury possibly finding you guilty.

Then you have prosecutors offering plea deals, so then you think do I stand my ground and risk X years in jail? Or do I plead guilty and just go to jail for 2 years?

M500,

Sure they could, but you are a a bit more anonymous and don’t keeps logs, then there may be nothing to hand over.

Hosting your own vps directly ties internet traffic to you. They can see your ip is part of a swarm and see who owns it. If it’s owned by some guy, they can press you. If it’s owned by a company with a legal team, it’s much more difficult.

M500,

I donated to Linux Mint once, I think it’s time to make another donation.

This time, I think I’ll donate to one of the emulator developers. I’ll have to take a look and see which platform is currently receiving updates pretty regularly. I’m learning towards ryujinx as that’s the main switch emulator I use. But I’m also considering pcsx2 as I really love that system.

M500,

Met my wife on Tinder about 9 months before the pandemic.

M500,

I thought ever actor who has portrayed Spock has done a decent job. I really like Ethan Pecks Spock, and Zachary Quinto is a good actor and did Spock justice.

M500,

Just in case anyone who has not tried shrooms. Is wondering…

Shrooms as we know them today absolutely will not be like this at all. Not even close to possible.

But space shrooms on the other hand…

M500,

I had this yesterday on my phone. The video was like half an inch wide and silent.

What’s the purpose of this? It also had some banner at the bottom, so I’m only have to use 30% of the screen to actually read the article.

The web has become such garbage.

M500,

It has a pretty good google tv app. That’s how my wife mainly uses it. I use the iOS app Swiftfin.

M500,

For me,

Lemmy Mastodon YouTube/Netflix depending on what I’m watching

M500,

Did he try to intervene with any of them?

M500,

In regard to following rules and making the “right” choice, he is the worst captain.

Of course he always wins, but sometimes he should just say, “This is too risky.” Or “This is completely against protocol.”

My PC is hacked

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

M500,

If I had the opportunity, I’d still wipe the scammers computer.

M500,

I’m not from this country so it’s foreign to me.

You could say you have a foreign friend, but does he stop being foreign once your friends or when he comes to visit? Or is he always a foreign friend?

M500,

Well I do refer to it as my neighborhood. But I do not speak the local language and I do not know all of the customs.

Even the style of speech in English is different than it is in America. I’ve been here for about 6 years, but you never really know a country and culture the way you know your own.

Just last week, my wife brought home a cheap snack from 7/11. OMG! It was so good, I’ve walked passed them for years only to discover they are my new favorite snack. I have been buying so many bags of them. This is the kind of stuff which makes me feel that this is a foreign country.

In addition to that, there are a number of things I am not able to do here that a citizen can. So in some ways, I can never fit in here. One example, is I cannot hold any professional positions, like lawyer, doctor, or any government position. I can also never own land here.

M500,

Yeah, my wife’s a citizen of this country. I just recently got residency, but those restrictions still apply.

I just don’t have to renew my tourist visa anymore and I don’t have to fly out and back into the country trying to every 3 years.

It also lets me get employed by a private company without the need of a work visa.

But I still can’t hold professional jobs. I actually was looking into going to med school at one point to be a doctor here.

School is cheap here, then I found out that even if I go to med school here I’m not allowed to practice medicine.

It’s actually a bit annoying, but now there is one less doctor in this country.

M500,

I live in a foreign country. So international communication is free and pretty simple.

M500,

I literally watch a ds9 directed by him just today.

I could be wrong, but I think it was the episode where odo goes back to when he was the constable for the cardassians in some psychic state.

It was pretty good, but I think Kira over reacted at the end. Maybe I missed something, but she seems to be too hard on him.

M500,

Just wait until someone connect chatgpt to one of those gigantic 3d printers that print buildings.

Are we really that far from having “AI” do this?

M500,

I have posted a few times and almost every time someone complains that the link I posted was already posted by someone else.

Like, sorry, I didn’t see it and I’m not going to spend 15 minutes researching whether an article was already posted here.

So, it’s mainly that.
