Any skills you can market? Things you can craft? As many others have said—there is no quick way to earn money.

Gambling is an option, though you could lose it all. Not worth it in my opinion.

If you want money and want lots of it—find and solve problems. Look at the world, identify problems, and find marketable solutions.

Either way you’ll have to grind.

For me, it has been incredibly difficult to find a properly privacy oriented Linux distro that also has ease of use.

First of all, most distros already offer adequate privacy. It’ll always beat Windows or MacOS—that’s for sure.

Second, ease of use and privacy don’t go hand in hand. The more privacy you want the harder it gets to use. The reason I emphasised privacy is because it’s more anonymity at that point.

What is it you want? If it’s privacy you’re after you can’t go wrong with most distros and using FOSS. If it’s anonimity be prepared to make a ton of sacrifices. Have fun putting your laptop in a Faraday bag, routing all your traffic through Tor, visiting eepsites, disconnecting your webcam and microphone, only wiring money with Monero, and so forth.

My point is, there is no best of both worlds.

He eventually found the executable by Googling for it online and is now part of a botnet.

Windows is shitty—don’t get me wrong. But for all my coursework it’s pretty annoying to do on Linux. Especially Office, and yes I am well aware it’s a MS product and that Linux-support will likely never come. Though the limited online version of Office or LibreOffice don’t quite cut it for me. Besides, running it with Wine or in a VM is too much of a hassle.

So “Switch to Linux!” is not really a solution for some. Let’s hope that’ll change in the future.

With that said, fuck Microsoft! I use NixOS btw.

Not all AI is bad. In the healthcare sector it could improve decision-making, produce personalised treatment plans, and so forth.

Obviously, the healthcare professionals will have final say, but it’s a good tool to have. AI will not replace them. Though it will streamline cumbersome processes.

I am all for AI as long as it’s used in a non-dystopian manner.

I was only joking, though I guess Lemmys need the /s to understand.

Don’t have anything against systemd—as goes with anything—use whatever suits your needs.

More bloat.

As bad as hard drugs? Do you have any objective scientific evidence to support that claim? Or did the community of NoFap sell you that lie?

I think everyone can agree excessive porn use is bad, but I don’t see the problem in people using it given they use it in moderation. Personally, I find the industry appalling, hence why I use my imagination. Though other people may find pleasure in watching porn and that’s completely fine – why not let them? Some couples use it for inspiration to spice things up, again, why not let them?

Making it illegal would only worsen matters, because then they’re going to start browsing the dark web to find what they seek.

Fair enough man, I’d stick with dual-boot in that case as well.

Personally, I don’t see why we’d want to bring erotica to Lemmy.

There’s already an abundance to be found on other platforms. Why load moderators with the tasks of filtering porn? If one must watch porn so desperately – why not go to porn sites? I don’t see the point.

I find it better to use my imagination anyway. Not thinking any less of people who want to watch porn, you do you, but I find the industry itself rather appalling. In the end, I don’t see why we’d want to bring all trouble porn entails here.

Hey man, I’ve commented this before to someone else, but you could always try GPU pass-through on a W11 virtual machine. If you don’t care for the marginal performance decrease it’s certainly worth it, and it means you truly get to stay in Arch!

Not too certain if I understand, but you want your laptop screen output to display on a wireless monitor? That’s certainly possible – all you’ve got to do is purchase wireless HDMI, though mind you those can be rather pricey. Plug the wireless HDMI in your laptop and monitor of choice. Then all you’ve got to do is connect your bluetooth devices to your laptop and you’re done.

Mind you, there will certainly be a delay, as goes with everything that’s wireless. At home I use wireless HDMI for my beamer and my telephone even interferes with the signal. Not fun when watching a film.

An alternative would be a Steam link, but other people may have a better solution. Not even sure if Valve still sells those (I don’t game anymore).

Have you considered using a virtual machine with GPU pass-through? That’s what I’d do if I wanted to game. Though I guess if you want to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your system it’s best to stick with dual-boot. Conversely, if you don’t mind a marginal performance drop it’s certainly worth looking at.

Given there is no algorithmic recipe to hook you, I’d wager Lemmy is far better for everyone’s mental well-being. You’ll ultimately squander less of your time mindlessly scrolling.

Hahaha jaman, wij zijn de early-adopters (zeg ik terwijl ik pas net ben gejoind). Maar ja, wie weet schrijven wij geschiedenis!

Al blijft het bij een kleine community, dan is het nog steeds gezellig natuurlijk.

Ik ben zeker bereid te kletsen. Heb wel een beetje het gevoel dat Lemmy voornamelijk door mensen in de IT gebruikt wordt – of klopt daar niks van? Zelf studeer ik namelijk informatica, dus in mijn geval klopt het lol

Het blijft natuurlijk FOSS en je ziet vaak dat mensen in de IT dat meer boeit. Maar hopelijk word ik positief verast. Wie weet groeit het snel nu Reddit een graf aan het graven is voor zichzelf.
