Next time that you buy a TV that you intend to mount on a wall, make sure that the mounting bracket that you already have matches the new TV in order to avoid having to buy (and install) a whole new wall mount. Just saying.

There's a lot of different janky distros out there, many poorly maintained. It's arguably a positive but you will get issues with many of them.

The transition to using the command line/terminal for doing tasks is a real hurdle with linux even with the good GUI for many applications

That sounds more like hardware failure. I don't know how PopOS could magically brick your GPU.

Unremovable Israeli Spyware Found on Samsung Devices

Samsung faces backlash over AppCloud, an Israeli-developed app pre-installed on budget Galaxy A and M series devices.

Investigations reveal the app is embedded in the operating system, preventing full removal. Even when disabled, AppCloud remains on the device, reappears after updates, and can covertly install additional software.

I asked an AI to "map my mind"...

...You need to give the AI five variables to be able to map your mind...

 These 5 "variables" can be anything you have thought out and wrote, planned, created, etc etc etc...   

I gave the AI my NSRF Plan, my Genesis Theory, my Permaculture Idea, my Warcraft Strategy, and my Family Geneology...

What's so great about Arch?

It's so much more complicated than apt , I just don't understand the appeal.  And if you installed Debian instead of Ubuntu, isn't that almost just as minimal?

Confusing

i finally gave it (arch) a go, boots under the minute mark on a 2005 laptop, i wonder how fast would things go on my main rig

can any archfags tell me interesting stuff to try? already installed libreoffice, vlc, GIMP etc. but i would like to have the CPU, RAM, GPU values widget, i chose the LXQt desktop environment if that matters

did you install on a BTRFS filesystem with subvolumes ? if so you could install timeshift and timeshift-autosnap, run an update and watch it automatically create snapshots of your system that you can boot into i find it pretty cool
you could also look into the AUR, try to understand how it works and how to edit PKGBUILD files because you may not need it most of the time but when something goes wrong you'll be able to fix it
sorry i know nothing of ricing

>>592 (OP) 
Yeah the package manager and user repository are a big factor like >>593 and >>616 said, but I personally really hopped on the arch (btw :3) train for the wiki. It was like my second distro ever and I was 14, so reading up a bunch of the articles on there helped me get a better understanding of Linux in general. There is a reason so many people use it, even if it's mostly a meme. But now that I'm older and more knowledgeable I see that most distributions can be configured and manipulated to the point that the starting point of any one distro really only changes your first few weeks using the system for 90% of users. I am still interested in things like different package managers and init systems though, like I tried NixOS for a time and I'm thinking of trying Void Linux for runit and XBPS, but that's just tinkering with things that already work for me. Just have fun :)
Gentoo and WM are like a poor man's arch just use those

It seems obvious that digital ID and vpn bans are going to be rolled out across the western dictatorships. Already locally the police have the warrantless ability to check anyone's internet history whenever they want. They also can arrest and detain people indefinitely for any reason, merely for the suspicion of prejudice or suspicion of criminal activity. Exactly like in East Germany. These people are disgusting criminals who do nothing but abuse our nation, obviously, but that's besides the point. What this actually means is in a short period of time I won't be able to ostensibly access the imageboards, the alternet, or anything interesting for that matter. It's already a liability. 

What practical means do people in my position have for circumventing these measures? Keep in mind vpns are not a very good option due to traceable payment methods. The only one to the contrary I know of is mullvad, which is obviously a lame nato honeypot.

I've played around with those, they don't seem too suitable. The stores are full of cameras and I implicitly assume the serial # of the card allows the user to be geographically traced to a city. I guess buying a vpen would be the best thing to do with it, because if I pull one of these things out in public it obviously raises questions about the user for everyday transactions whereas cash is much easier.

And really think about how you would walk into a store wearing a cap full of LED's when the camera feed is right next to the cashier. That also raises questions. And anyways, the point is that VP's aren't really secure in the first place

sure, but it's in your best interest to figure out how to live as independently as possible in case networking fails. The social contract is fucked beyond repair, society is collapsing under the weight of complex systems being staffed mostly by incompetents, and it's only a matter of time before the shooting starts. The goal is now survival: for yourself, your race and your soul/psyche/whatever you want to call it.

Guten Tag, meine Brüder. So seeing as how this site has full blown WebP support I thought I'd get the ball rolling and post some. I plan to post sets of 4 at a time since this aryan website also supports multi-file uploads and every 3 sets/dozen I'll catbox them all in a .zip. I've adopted a trip and if you end up trusting me, you should keep an eye out for that so you don't download a virus from catbox. My WebPs will be special since I'm not going to just recompress the lossy JPG shit from the web but denoise them first and use quality 80 instead of 50 that most websites use. I might also begin posting AV1 video with audio Webms down the line when I get time for it so that might be on the horizon as well.

There's a lot of controversy surrounding this image format but IMHO there's many performance/compatibility/feature reasons to still use it today. For example it supports lossy compression with transparency which JPG does not.

Guten Morgen. I keep saving .WEBPs as .JPG or .PNG. Is there any security concerns with this crude method of mine for saving content from search engines?

A great migration of users, while long needed and called for, the tides are finally turning, leaving the Megacorps and Supersites en masse for greener pastures (more freedom of information). This thread is aimed at the 17% so forgive me for not yelling about DOTR for systemd.
