Choose whatever fits you

And stick to it! Also make sure other participants also adhere to that. Optionally configure a linter for doing that.

I never looked into flatseal and I don’t have any issues with Steam. But I wonder if flatseal can allow a Flatpak Java application to run systemctl poweroff.

No thank you, no kids.

I like my freedom and that it is quiet.

Why the French, ONY-chan?

Why deliberately go into vendor lock-in?

Good e-mails in general! People have forgotten (over never learned) how to properly write and answer mails.

I dislike touching people or being touched. Not that I have a phobia is suffer from, I just don’t like it and try to avoid it when possible. So no, I am not physically affectionate with other friends (male or female alike).

Before there was a pandemic, touching people for welcome or goodbye was common (i.e “shaking hands”). But fortunately this is no longer the case. There are still some disrespectful and non-considerate persons around who want to touch you just to say hello, but they’re in the minority.

Maybe let go of this ancient hardware? Seriously: Get a Raspberry Pi (or whatever SOC computer is the latest trend) and install whatever distribution you want. You get 100x the performance for 100x less power consumption. It’s great to reuse old hardware and all, but THAT old?

Take more or less of the stuff you’re taking. The current amount is wrong.

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively.

Because whenever AI is mentioned it usually isn’t even close to what AI meant.

So, what’s your reason to not drive a car

I simply don’t need to, nor do I want to. I live in a country with good public transport - in a city with comparably well working public transport. There simply is no need for me. There never was.

I can get around the city either by train (“normal” trains and subways) or by bus. On weekends there is a 24 service for all trains and subways every 8-20 minutes (depending on line). There are also night busses connecting party areas with the nearest train stations and the inner city with the outskirts.

In the mornings and afternoons on weekdays there are additional commuter busses and trains and subways on most lines so the service is scheduled on a minute basis on some lines for some time during rush hours. The “worst” it gets is every 30 minutes in the middle of the night.

And if I don’t want to take public transport I can always use my bike or my electric scooter. The bike lanes are not Netherlands quality, but they’re okay. It’s also fun to drive by traffic jam having my inner monologue making fun of alle the people waiting hours over hours on the streets 😄

The great thing is: Some time ago the government and the individual public transport providers of the cities and areas made a country-wide ticket for all public transport. So I can just hop on a bus in my city, drive to the train station, enter a regional train that goes to another city in another federal state, come out the train station and take the nearest bus I want without having to pay anything except the monthly fee for the ticket or checking if the ticket is valid in that area.

When I want to take longer trips further away I’ll likely take a train on our highspeed railway network covering basically the whole country (not covered by the ticket I mentioned). It’s notorious for being delayed or having issues, but my individual experience is much better than in the memes that exist.

A plain white gift card with the following text maybe?

Hello father,

today is Father’s Day. As your son I am expected to send you a gift card at least.

This is the gift card.

If you’re on a small budget, look for older ThinkPad laptops, you can get them for good prices and in good condition and Linux works very well on them.

For mid-range try to find an older Dell XPS 13, they sold those as certified Linux devices nicknamed “Developer Edition” and with an Ubuntu LTS version preinstalled. I have one of those and I run Arch on it. It runs perfectly fine. Also: superb build quality! It’s a very great device.

It never got boring whenever I did this in the past (i.e. every holidays and vacations). So I’d say, no.

I’d do nothing. Sleep as long as I want, go to bed when I want. Being online, being offline, it really does not matter. Like holidays, but forever.

GTA 5 has a proper online multiplayer mode. Online multiplayer means money. This is why they invest so much time. They optimized the pay-to-win mechanics and not even hide it anymore.

GTA games always were a series of glorified fetch quests.

Came here to say that.

Most common/relevant/larger distros do that at least for the install/live ISO.
