I wasn’t implicitly aware, but that t-shirt gave me “blue lives matter” bootlicker vibes for sure.

I can’t say I vibe with this guy’s apparel, but the message is good.

This is their business model, at least the one they’ve published.

You get a lot of cool shit as a Vivaldi user. I have a free 10 GB email address there, free Mastodon account (not that it cost money to begin with, but they have their own mastodon instance for all their users), and just a couple of days ago they introduced free VPN protection through ProtonVPN. It’s mostly an ad campaign as you can’t select country when connecting to it, but you are tunneled through a vpn that’s closest to you out of the “free pool”. I suppose if blogging is your passion they have free blogging space as well, so yeah, lots of reasons to like Vivaldi.
But! When manifest v3 gets enforced come June and Vivaldi’s adblocker can’t perform to the same standard as uBlock Origin, maybe the Vivaldi browser is a dead end?

I wasn’t aware of pika backup, but it does look good. It’s basically a fancy GUI for borgbackup, but I like separate projects like that, each focusing on what they do best.

Limited invites to give out, scarcity mindset, I’ve been there myself, so I understand.

Interesting use of itch.io to handle payment in this case.

It’s just that the original timestamps are lost that way. With cp -a I would’ve kept the original “created on” date. My memory is so shot I can barely remember what I did last week, let alone 42 days ago, whether I copied over those stats or not…

I did go out of my way to check creation date and modified date on those folders to try and assess whether I had copied the statistics over from my distrohop. Might’ve been old stats plus new, I’m not too sure. I should really start using cp -a instead of just drag’n’drop in dolphin…

EDIT: No I don’t have invites, before anyone asks.

Yeah, this is also a problem though. I’d love to be on a private tracker as I was in the past, but once you’re out it’s just too much of a hassle to get back in.

That’s the spirit!
My rule of thumb has always been to share to ratio 1.1. Side thought: Maybe there’s a funny correlation between birthrates needing to be 2.1 for a stable population, the extra .1 to make up for deaths, and well, the 2 is because it takes two to make a baby.

 
(Gigabit internet is the biggest luxury I allow myself to splurge on.)

I just looked into how easy it would be to install nvidia drivers on openSUSE and it’s not as great as Fedora for comparison, that’s one of the only 2 down sides I’ve found so far. The other downside is a personal preference one, for many it’s an upside, and it would be an upside for anyone basing an entire distro on it, and that’s how there’s nothing fancy installed alongside openSUSE, it’s not bloated. No starship prompt in the terminal, no proprietary codecs etc. I like how openSUSE defaults to a lot of BTRFS subvolumes for almost each important root directory and comes preinstalled with snapper, that’s very neat. And it’s so nice to use YaST, what a treat. While Fedora does also have patterns, getting to use a graphical installer with YaST is so nice.
I’m glazing a lot for someone that doesn’t daily run it, so maybe I should just switch one of these days, haha. Maybe when my Nobara installation dies.

Speaking of VeronicaExplains: How VeronicaExplains Records Videos, ft. VeronicaExplains (not the best sound quality.)

While LaurieWired isn’t a linux youtuber she does use it here and there, and her content is in general very interesting reverse engineering stuff. And I like the Serial Experiments Lain theming she uses, complete with Copland OS in this video, but also other old late 90s early 00s OS’es.
Jill from Destination Linux has already been mentioned, and then the only other linux woman youtuber is probably Wendy from Linux Out Loud..

Meaning the identity had to be confirmed later by someone else (a coroner, probably)

I guess it makes sense, when you’re at the front you probably get squished more by the rest of the plane in a nose-first crash.

It’s possible it’s literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.

That’s wild to me. I thought there were some international security standards for airports that at the very least logged all pilots taking off. Thanks for the explanation.

I’m confused as to what they mean by “not being able to identify the pilot”, surely that’s the guy whose identity is the easiest to figure out as you can’t just take off from a runway without being registered and security cleared etc. Right? Or do they mean that they can’t verify that the pilot who took off is the same as the one they found in the wreck?

You’re right, same goes for anime as they mention in the article. I’m thinking one leads to the other, people might pick up the manga to catch up on the anime or maybe a manga reader will watch the anime version of their show.
And they target a starving audience if you ask me.

The weebs are winning because Hollywood is bankrupt for ideas. Heck, not just Hollywood, the west in general.

Directories routinely take mulitple seconds to load, and I don’t understand why.

Probably thumbnail generation, and I was going to say file indexing, but surely that runs in the background. Baloo in KDE is a lot less intrusive anyway.
