Doesn’t look good, Tonic (.to domain registry) got subpoenaed https://torrentfreak.com/ace-goes-after-fmovies-sister-site-successors-240824/

Not so in Germany, where you can be hit with charges by the company. In one famous case in 2021, the conservative party pressed charges against a data researcher, after she responsibly disclosed a massive data leak via their party app. After the court determined, that afromentioned data was insufficiently secured, those charges were dropped.

This proved to the tech-side in Germany, that responsible disclosure just harms yourself in the end and that German companies (and political parties) might as well go fuck themselves.

Edit: Grammar

Zsh: “Zed shell” or “Zee shell” (depends)

SSH: spelt out S-S-H (both in English and in my native language)

sudo: like “sumo wrestler” only with a “d”

Current student here (CS, so sadly not in your field):

In my case, college/university actually made sure, I and many others would be using Linux as their main system. The computer lab is using Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 mainly) although Windows machines (mostly for beginner courses) and Macs (for stuff like Final Cut Pro and other Apple exclusive software) are available and many courses are either requiring or putting mainline support towards Linux.

Document wise - we were taught LaTeX from day 1 and are expected to have at least the knowledge to utilize the given .cls files. Sharing documents is rather a free-for-all: When LaTeX is required for the course, either Overleaf or the university git is the choice for group-work, otherwise there aren’t requirements for using .docx files or other files.

Hope I could give you an insight, although not in your field.

Agreed. Even though I dislike Eyeo’s practices as well (letting the ad companies pay for whitelisting their ads), it’s a better outcome than outright banning ad blockers (or if Axel Springer had gotten their ways, “light” web-browsing via reader modes would have been turned illegal as well)

Axel Springer tried again recently, arguing that ad blockers “infringe copyright by altering HTML elements on their sites”, and Germany waits, because a similar lawsuit happened in Luxembourg which will be settled on the European level.

Another article, where they tried the exact same thing two years ago: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/landgericht-hamburg-ueber-adblock-plus-springer-verlag-verliert-erneut-a-5e058ee7-e0fa-4f0e-aa10-d95d9cfad654 (also in German)

(Also it’s not a constutional right (Verfassungsrecht), since it wasn’t the BVerfG that ruled in the first case (they tried to get them to rule, but no response was given), but a civil case ruled in the first instance by the BGH, after the local courts told Axel Springer to get bent)

(Edited: Added more context)

That’s exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being “landfill fodder”.

you mean the original Greek pronounciation, instead of the mess, that is “kai-mera”?

At least Ubuntu makes it easy to roam through their archives. Have fun :)

I currently use endeavourOS and I am happy with it, due to it being “just Arch with some wallpapers and optional extras”.

I am open for more though, even if it’s just for trying out :)

My journey was very uneven:

Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for 2 months, dual-boot) -> Windows (for about 6 years, because of some very specific software + pre-Proton gaming) -> Linux Mint (for about a month) -> popOS (for almost a year) -> endeavourOS (now, but always on the look-out for new stuff)

But in between the “main” journey, there was always some stuff trying out, like Void (on an old PC), Arch (inside a VM, now use that VM as a lightweight environment for testing some stuff out)

Yep, fell for the same trap (minus the marriage, but lived 3.5 years of literal hell instead), and that bullshit shapes you more than everything.

The worst part is being accused of being unempathetic, even though you put almost everything aside for them, just to be met with hatred when you inevitably set them off again.

Brother, I hope you are now in a better place in life. Stay frosty :)

It’s not really FOSS, just the software-equivalent of CC-BY-NC or CC-BY-NC-ND.

I fully agree. Why do I have to install gnome-tweaks just to make the UI usable?

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

That will reboot to UEFI setup instantly.

Hey, I absolutely get that - longing for a simpler point in life, where you didn’t have to worry about keeping yourself afloat or about the inequalities that the current world promotes. In fact - I want that feeling back too, where my biggest worries were if I had enough allowance left for sleepover snacks with my cousins and not if I have enough money left to pay bills or if I can get by with 3-4 hours of sleep at times.

While I am not ‘stuck’ in the past, I do believe that neither are you simply stuck inside the past, because you still pulled through some very tough times. In fact, how you ‘relive’ the good memories seem good enough (minus the diet, but I’m not exactly better), especially taking some time-out for that summer vacation/holiday feel - I get that.

I salute you too.

Honestly, that would be the most plausible explanation and for me at least that indicates a good father-son relationship, as this would be some shit my father would be doing with me when I was a toddler.

But I also assume that the actual OOP is hand guy and he imagines a potential partner catching him in the act.

…Steamed clams?

Okay, but why is the watermark information wonky, as if it were generated by AI?

Honestly, a better solution would be an open-source IODD-type device, because sometimes I still meet old devices which do boot via USB DVD drives, but not flash drives.

But Ventoy is a second solid choice, especially with newer devices, where such limitations are basically non-existent :)
