Well, they produced Oxenfree 2 which was a welcome sequel that I enjoyed. But other than that, I didn’t really hear about anything else from them.

To be fair. I get where they’re coming from. Some people simply don’t want to take the time to learn the Linux command line nor learn how to utilize the tool, balena etcher.

That said, if one says “Is there a way to simply install a Linux OS”, I usually assume said person has at least a passing familiarity with burning an ISO as that is the bare minimum knowledge for starting the Linux installation process.

Hence my assumption that they were familiar with said tools when they asked the question.

I meant a workstation OS. Or any Linux OS that’s not locked to a corporate account and probably filled with spyware.

Yes, though I have not tried to utilize this:

I don’t even understand the first sentence of these instructions. “Mount the device” followed by a bunch of seemingly random letters and characters. Mount it on what? What do I do with these?

These instructions require a very basic understanding of the Linux command line and file system. As does installing a Linux OS without a GUI helper.

The Kobo EReader is already a Linux machine.

As far as bypassing the sign up, here are my quick notes on how to do so step by step.

1. Buy a Kobo EReader.

2. Hack the EReader so you don’t have to sign up with Walmart.

3. Install Calibre on your PC.

4. Install Kobo Driver Extension for Calibre.

5. Use a VPN (I prefer Mullvad), and go to your favorite Book piracy website for epubs.

6. Download epub books.

7. Connect Kobo device to your PC via USB.

8. Use Calibre to upload epub books to Kobo.

9. Disconnect Kobo from PC.

10. Profit.

Your quadriceps are the largest muscles in your body (the second largest being your lattisimus dorsi). That’s why squats are often considered to be the most effective exercise you can do for weight loss and muscle building.

It’s understandable that working the largest muscles in your body would cause you to potentially sweat more profusely than working your other muscles, though the amount you sweat is the result of a myriad of factors like genetics and overall health.

Yes DDG Bangs are a great fast way of getting around the web. Works really well with LibRedirect. Here’s a Full List of DDG Bangs.

IIRC, other Cloud providers like Digital Ocean and Linode provide S3 storage solutions that have a flat fee for a certain GB amount of storage.

Yep. I’ve had mine for 6 years and it’s still incredible. Luckily compatible sealing rings are still available from 3rd party vendors. Makes great Greek Yogurt, Chicken Soup, and Steel Cut Oats. And of course , it can make so much more.

It sucks that when you make something this good, you’re destined to put yourself out of business, meanwhile planned obsolescence works…

Oh yeah, here’s Some More News on that.

Ublock Origin, NoScript, Chameleon, Libredirect, DarkReader, OneTab, Stack Overflow Prettifier, Classic Mode For Wikipedia, Vimium

It’s a lot of work. I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been self teaching myself how to program in various languages and working as a Fullstack developer at a very small startup.

While I’ve learned alot, there’s always more to learn and finding direction is a challenge you’ll hit many times over if you stick with it.

Right now I’m reviewing various Open Source Projects I could contribute to as I know ultimately this will make me a much better developer. There are so many CLI and web development tools I use that I’d like to expand on but will require a marginal jump in my skills. Here are a few examples:

• Add a feature to the rTorrent client that would allow it to torrent over i2p
• Expand the amount of tools available within the SolidJS framework ecosystem to be competitive with React’s ecosystem.
• Create a HTTP server in Rust that has feature parity with Golang’s Caddy
• Add a feature to AntennaPod akin to YouTube Sponsor block that would allow for user contributed timestamps to facilitate auto skipping of ad mentions in podcast episodes.

I also am slowly working out plans to learn enough about Rust and browsers to recreate the terminal based browser Links in Rust.

But these are all just me spitballing. In truth, my skills aren’t quite there yet and the amount of time to get there for each one of these is a lot. So I have to choose wisely and dive in deep on the project’s codebase, probably for at least a year or more to make headway. But this is the mindset I think might help you. Look into the software you use a lot or like the concept of. Figure out how you’d like to improve it or add to it. Reach out to the developers of said software however you can, either make your case for the improvements you want to make or just help out on something they want to do with the software. Learn, listen. Rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps a bit.

As a Jr Developer, I found this very helpful. Thanks.

locate, from the mlocate package. So useful. Honorable mention goes out to tldr.

Coprophilia is a thing, yes.

We need you Lina Khan. We need you, but stronger, faster, better. Let’s fucking go.

Does it come with nicotine? Cuz that’s kinda why I came in here…at least nicotine gives me a bit of a high while it slowly kills me. Rethink your new product.

Honestly, right wingers and elites have the short sighted and sick obsession with simply jailing whoever they don’t like for various reasons.

This obsession with controlling the masses has already created the largest Prison Population per capita in the US. The result? Prisons give US capitalists a ready source of slave labor, and gives them complete control over the population at large.

This control is exerted via forcing compliance to societal norms through threat of incarceration, as well as the more obvious form of control via stripping of the autonomy of those already incarcerated.

Ultimately only narcicists and megalomaniacs and their most sycophantic bootlickers would remain free if these sick fascists had their way, and they (and the rest of us) would find themselves residing within a hell of their own creation: a truly fucked world where only the most power hungry are free…and truthfully they wouldn’t actually be free.

Their lust for power would innevitably become their fetters.
