Sadly, the only totally-safe way to use ANY computer - windows, mac, linux, anything - is to never connect it to a network in the first place.
Everything else is complicated.

I have one Brilliant Schemer and one Beautiful Idiot, and I wouldn’t trade either of them ♥️


If you are in the United States, ISPs are largely unregulated and charge whatever the fuck they want. They make ridiculous profits.
Many other developed countries have dramatically cheaper internet access with significantly higher speeds.


One thing to keep in mind about the terminal:
In Linux, many GUI tools are simply pretty interfaces for the terminal. That’s why folks tell you that you’ll need the terminal occasionally, no matter what: you might need to type in commands that don’t already have a friendly GUI.
The terminal isn’t that scary, though! Every big distro has a support community. And if you need to do something in the terminal? Someone else has definitely needed to do the same thing, so you won’t need to figure it out on your own.
I mostly use Bazzite in front of a big TV. When I first set up the computer, I needed to use the terminal to configure a couple of things related to network shares. Later, I used it to help specific devices wake up the computer from sleep. It’s been months since then, and I’m not sure I’ve needed the terminal for anything else.
Use it as an opportunity to learn how your computer works. It’s really satisfying to understand how things happen.

Give me a drill with a really fine bit.


I havet’t Englished much at all.


Yeah, and the word starts with the letter ghee.


You didn’t specify a biological nipple.
I can make any kind of milk pass through some type of nipple.

Oh, everything.
Got a $20m yacht? Sell it. Oh, youcre forced to sell it for $50k because nobody will give you more? That’s just the free market, clearly it’s only worth $50k.
Paid $75m to build your house? Well someone is offering you $175k and you’d better take it.
And you own a company worth $100m? No you don’t, it was already taken from you and turned into a worker-owned co-op.
After all the sales and seizures, you’ve got $23.1m in cash, and just 1m more in the bank? OK, dude, we cool.


I’d give all the billionaires the same choice:
(a) Give away everything except, say, 25 million.
(b) Guillotine.
We have a right to know if you’re actually a bigot before we include you in our responses.
That’s how it works.
I laugh at the person who downvoted me.
The only reason someone would downvote me is if they are a bigot.
Everyone who bitches about “wokeness” is, in fact, a bigot.
Bigotry is always evil. Bigots should be shunned and deplatformed.
“Important” is subjective.
Isolated servers might be very niche, and not of interest to you. Some are kept low-key by their owners for a variety of reasons. Others are intentionally isolated by other servers, because they are toxic.
You’re probably fine with the federated collections of servers.
AC3 is the only AC game I never got to 100%. It just… wasn’t fun.
In every other AC game, even the parts that weren’t as enjoyable didn’t feel like such a grind.
