Based on nothing I’ll go with B.

I am also dumb and worthless.

I probably got something like that. I am not really into minimal installs, kde-applications-meta and plasma-meta is what I go with. Absolutely everything.
I just wish I could safely use KDE Discover for updates. That’s probably what would work with “apply updates on reboot”, which sounds like the safest option. But for some reason packagekit-qt6 which would (probably) make this possible is not recommended to use.
Preferably I’d go with something like KDE Neon or Kubuntu. I just really like KDE. But there’s just no sweet spot for me. Arch gives me new packages with all the bugs. Each update feels scary, what will I discover. Based on my Timeshift notes, last point without major bugs was 31st of October. Something like Linux Mint was stable, but I was missing some newer packages, and even drivers when my laptop was new. And major version upgrades also feel scary. Although, I don’t even know how they work. This is where Arch makes more sense to me. Linux as desktop OS is really just a huge bunch of packages working together, and they slowly get updated. When packaged into an entire OS, how do you even define a version?


Dramatic music

Until it does not.


Interesting. I thought it was more like in Czech Republic. Buy a prepaid SIM, put it into phone, it activates with the first call and there you go.
When I checked one from T-Mobile, name and surname get automatically pre-filled in the personal data card, as “Anonym Anonym”, that is.


Why? Isn’t it usual for prepaid in the US already?

Just $4/month bro, $4 isn’t much bro, it’s just another small subscription bro.


Thankfully I don’t even trust TPM, so I just use regular passphrase unlock. This has added benefit of password expiration if unused (I will forget it eventually).


I don’t think I’ve ever used that much mobile data.
I only use mobile data, but…
My record so far is 591GB in a month.
Last month I used 451GB, this month (since Nov. 16th) I am so far at 347GB.
When I was trying Gentoo I very much didn’t forget, I went I want them all. But I ended at my first attempt. It was bootable, but I was missing network drivers, and on old Core 2 Duo the compilation already took 3 days.


But… people outside Lemmy.


High pitched noises sometimes. I have an audio spectrum visualizer app installed to confirm these. But they can be pretty weird as they bounce around. You’ll get these heat spots. Unfortunately, I feel like my ears are degrading now.
Anyway, dimmable LED lights are often a problem due to PWM. Only full brightness is quiet.
Smell, I don’t even know what the hell that was. There is or was something in the back of one bus. I wouldn’t say it’s smell, but… something. Just a spicy punch that doesn’t quite let me breathe in. I noted down the license plate if I’ll experience it again to confirm it’s the same vehicle, but this wasn’t the first time, though unfortunately I didn’t copy it that first time. Same line though, so possibly same vehicle as well.
But I am not sure if I was the only one, no one was visibly bothered, but who knows.


I don’t know, but I’d be too. I am even with regular items, honestly, and even with less damages. Like a single small scratch on otherwise pristine surface.


I am trying to get my hands on 6 or 6T since the announcement of Google developer verification. Unfortunately, it still seems like one of the best devices for PostmarketOS.


pingfs
Now that’s something I must try.


Something like this heavily modded WRT54GL?

Yeah, especially since I know I likely wouldn’t play it much.
On the other hand, if it was free (also as in money) and open-source, and I liked it, I could donate. Although I don’t have much money, so probably just smaller amounts, better than the 0 I do right now by not gaming instead.
For example, I absolutely wouldn’t pay $9.60 for Binary Eye (barcode/2D code scanner app) if it cost that much, but as a donation that was fine.
Well, I could make an exception for games on physical media. I like it, and it has resale value.


OK, here’s a somewhat famous case of email that could only be sent within something over 500 miles, but no further: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles


Touch it until it works, then never again while it still does.


I am sure at one point I had some auto skip extension in Firefox for this, but I don’t remember what it was.
I’d like something like on Cisco equipment.
Tab completes a command
? prints possible options with brief descriptions, filtered by starting letters if you already typed anything
if there is just one option left, you can just use it directly, so you can write shortened commands (similar to ip commands on Linux)
