To me it always seemed like Linus Torvalds is mostly a pragmatist.

Richard M Stallman on the other hand…

None of these things are wrong. Work on your issues in the present, not the ones in the past.

Try wearing a watch

Both could be good if they were more strictly organized into communities or servers and the “all” feeds would lose importance… but unfortunately we are all just a bunch of shitposters and not the intellectuals we pretend to be

What about unromantic relationships? Do you have a best friend?

For context, do you use Linux or have you contributed to open source?

I don’t get your point at all. I know that you do not say that, but you don’t even have any counter argument.

I don’t get what you try to say with your last paragraph. It sounds like you are worried that the poor 97% of Windows and Mac users are losing something because Linux is rising. Which makes absolutely no sense.

If you are using Gnome stay with that first. You can try gnome extensions and gtk themes, there are lots of possibilities. Many of the things that people post for other window managers will not work on Gnome.

Then know your command line well https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line

Then try to automate things, such that e.g. you can open a QR code of your clipboard with a key binding. Or whatever cool things you want your computer to do.

If you like these things and you have a lot of time, try other window managers as well. Start with something that has a good example config and good resources online, I believe sway was pretty easy to get into for me.

Not just kids

Both are fine choices for a text editor. But for everything? Vim doesn’t even have a web browser and a psychotherapist built in, smh absolutely unusable

Do you write 4$ or $4 if you don’t have cents? I really don’t know how you do it in US

what do you even live for if curiosity is not enough of a reason to do something

There are some concepts for hybrid maglev-rail tracks that would at least solve the first point, similar to how rail was electrified over time. It would still be very expensive though.

It is also problematic that you can send keypresses to the other person, especially since she was only using the receiver for a mouse.

Doesn’t enforcement work by letting competitors sue you if you don’t follow the rules for these things?

Based on the Americans I met, I don’t believe that is generally true. It varies a lot by region and social environment.

I mentioned it because it was an annoying limitation for me. 100mb is not a lot for media and zip files nowadays. And I don’t know any good free services that will work more conveniently than simply sending with Telegram, suggestions welcome.

Telegram let’s you send 2gb files, and stores them forever. Signal has a 100mb limit.

It also used to be easier to set up on multiple devices at the same time, but I believe that Whatsapp and Signal have improved that by now too.

Telegram has no end-to-end encryption for normal messages
