This post is very validating as I have struggled for over a year to get MAM set up and working with a VPN according to all their specific rules and I finally gave up.
I got a seedbox going with fixed IP etc etc etc and it STILL doesn’t work because even though the qBittorrent IP matches, it’s using a proxy and I would need to route the entire container through the same VPN.
I really wish there was another place that had the variety of audiobooks without the headache.
Yeah this is it. I like snaps just fine but I also like Flatpaks and well, everyone else is using Flatpaks.
A VPN actually hides your IP from the webpage.
Hah! I definitely didn’t mean any shade at Zorin! I used it for a while too. I ultimately moved to Fedora Kinoite and now Bazzite for the exact reasons you described, the immutability makes it even harder to break than Zorin.
It’s great we have so many good options these days.
On one hand I think that Linux would benefit from KDE being better than windows and GNOME being better than MacOS and that we shouldn’t get distracted by new shiny toys like Cinnamon and Cosmic.
…and yet on the other hand… they are pretty cool…
Thrift stores often have old laptops for cheap
The job apocalypse is absolutely not something to forget.
Honestly wondering… why not? So far there is no evidence that an LLM can replace a worker of any kind, and all layoffs attributed to “AI” have not proven to be anything other than typical layoffs attributed to corporate greed.
There are nice friendly frontends for this, Yunohost or CasaOS spring to mind but might be too simplistic if you already are familiar with Docker.
Thanks for clarifying!
I thought they invest any surplus into government debt securities?
Social security is a bad investment for an individual, but most people are terrible investors if they invest into their future at all. So by giving everyone that baseline, it helps out everyone else, including the rich. And is therefore a fantastic investment for everyone.
Clever! The rare actually useful LLM!
Out of the box support it’s going to be Bazzite or CachyOS. Both great options but I lean Bazzite because of it’s immutability.
Listen I will fully admit it can be garish when overdone (like on ios honestly) and heavy on system resources for no good reason. But aesthetically? Aesthetically it kinda slaps!
I was a fan of this style when Vista did it. I was a fan when Apple did it, I’m a fan of it now. Give me blurry glass everywhere pls.
“The Jury voted against Jones, therefore it means he gets to keep InfoWars and also not pay them.” is wild.
That’s honestly beside the point. This case wasn’t about his “grift” it was about harassment of the Sandy Hook families, who have not seen a penny from Jones yet, despite winning the case two years ago. The judge tried to come up with convoluted logic to make sure Jones retains control of IW despite, again, losing the case the judge presided over. It’s insanity.
Rumble, where he’s still using the InfoWars branding:
It’s absolutely crazy the gymnastics the judicial system is making to keep Jones on the air and prevent the families of the Sandy Hook victims from seeing restitution.
This shutdown was Jones’s decision not the courts or The Onion:
A judge granted Jones’ request to block the sale, arguing that another offer by a company that happened to operate Jones’ online supplements store had been higher. But in April, there seemed to be a workaround — Jones’ estate had run out of money and instead of buying it in an auction, The Onion could just pay rent in a licensing deal. On Wednesday, a Texas appeals court stopped the transfer again, temporarily blocking the asset handover.
And so it seems Jones, unable to pay the rent, left on his own accord.
It’s also pretty much impossible to seed enough since every file has hundreds of seeders and only gets a handful of downloads every month, you need to seed it for over a year to break even on 1:1 ratio.
