“Free ads that you can’t turn off”

Can AI do proper debugging and troubleshooting? That’s when I’ll start to get worried

Did you just assume my distro?

For the record, I use Debian

People still use Ubuntu?

Man, I loved this game as a child. To think that I managed to complete it on my own, without looking up anything on the internet (because it wasn’t a thing for me yet)… honestly, I think the hints to the hidden paths are there, but very very subtle

If you manage to do it, please report what happens. I expect a lot of weird things, at the very least

ncdu: shows how much disk space is used by each directory, can also explore subdirectories and delete files

tig: interactive terminal UI for git with lots of functionality

I’d keep it on during the shift, and turn it off outside of it. If you don’t expect calls or other communications during the shift, put it in airplane mode for maximum savings

This could also be done to the RAM filling up and/or high I/O activity of the disk. I suggest to investigate these possibilies as well

Microsoft: we don’t do that here

A WM crash does not bring down all the other applications… but an X11 server crash definitely does!

In wayland they are the same program (a.k.a. the compositor). User applications can be designed to survive a compositor crash, though many are not able yet

Pen and paper first

And that’s the beauty of it. Figuring it all out, until “hey wow, it finally worked”

As others have said, only word documents may give you annoyances.

I’d suggest trying it in a virtual machine first. See if you can do what you want to do. Switch to different distros if you need to. If/when you’re convinced, make a proper installation.

I use syncthing to mirror to a raspberry pi NAS. Set it and forget it

It may actually not do that this time. If it just retrieves stuff upon request, but does not update its training with random internet garbage…

Have you considered a shared folder with Syncthing?

Bugtober?

You could have advertising without creepy tracking surveillance. Contextual ads, based only on the content of the current page and nothing else. Still relevant, still makes money

Meanwhile, leaving climate change unchecked would… (checks notes)… destroy the world, reduce rainfall, cause shocks to ecosystems, cause droughts and famines, and kill millions of people due to extreme weather events. It is literally genocide.
