Unfortunately yeah, these things still happen with Linux. I love linux, and I don’t use Windows, but all the “Linux never does anything wrong”, or “works on my machine, it must be a skill issue” people don’t realize how much that prevents people from moving over.
Linux is a looooooot better than it used to be, but pretending that problems don’t exist, is how Linux, and the culture surrounding it, got such a bad reputaion for such a long time.
They are literally destroying books. No, the library is not still there: https://www.techspot.com/news/113277-ai-firms-quietly-buying-destroying-millions-printed-books.html
The same amount of money in fewer hands creates a choke-point that they can squeeze later.
Ah, that’s dumb. That whole area of the game had strong “Stop hitting yourself” vibes.
Ah yeah, I think that’s it. I was felt mad that I kept trying everything to avoid dropping phosphorous. They take away your agency, and force you to do a war crime. I’m guessing that later they call you out for being a bad person for doing that?
Can I ask why? That’s where I gave up, but I keep having trouble articulating why.
Life is Strange
The entire premise is that the protagonist can turn back time, and make different decisions.
Except for cut-scenes. As soon as a cut-scene hits, suddenly its “You aren’t able to rewind time right now”, with no narrative explanation. Like, I get that you didn’t want to program that part, but the entire premise is about rewinding time, to try different decisions. Now I’m stuck having made an arbitrary decision, because I thought I was going to be able to go back and pick differently.
I recently watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò%2C_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom
It was… interesting, but going for more “shock”, than actual substance.
It’s a fun movie, but it’s only for a selective taste. It’s also has a lot of very problematic scenes.
Nothing. Also, why do you keep changing the requirements? First it was “you can’t run Linux”, then it became “you can’t run a mainline kernel”.

All the higher mammals learn by playing, by doing, by interacting. And indeed, the higher the mammal, the more of its life it spends in play to prepare itself for adulthood. So you can see, this active role of the mind is fundamental to the way we think. It’s wired into our brains.
It’s a really great speech, and a lot of it is about the failures of our educational system.
Can you run Linux on your cellphone, can you run Linux on the Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes and yes. In fact, I currently do both of those.
It means I have an old desktop in my closet, that I use to manage my own email. Here’s an example on what it takes to set it up: https://linuxvox.com/blog/install-and-configure-postfix-and-dovecot/
http://www.mutt.org/ is how I browse, manage, and send my email
Yes, it’s been very reliable. IME, the vast majority of people who complain about deliverability issues are spammersmarketers. They set up their own servers, send out a bunch of spamnewsletters, then complain that they get marked as spam. I don’t have much sympathy for them.
Of course, I’m not saying that it never happens to legitimate email, but IME, that is increasingly rare, especially after setting up DKIM, SPF, and the like.
It also gets better over time as your IP gains a better reputation.
I run my email out of my closet. Postfix/Dovecot, using Mutt as my client.
I only know this because of Archer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWDVuHDpq0
Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.
They totally can. They just don’t really care, because they are mostly funded by advertisers.
I still use it, and run my own server. Easy to run, and easy to use.
