Of course!

Is it actually making you happy to play it? Because that’s what made me quit the gacha game I was in for 5 years.

Absolutely devastated. The shade. 💀

Umm, aktually, your phone is digital, my good sir, which means that technically, there is no “film” inside with which to film, only my favorite directors like Judd Apatow use real film 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

They’re not killing it, they’re monetizing it… That hinders researchers, and I guess reddit.baby anonymous users? But it’s all still available for scraping and for manually looking up which is the “normal” use case.

If you wanted access to it (and I don’t know why you would) you still have the web site and app. They haven’t even blocked search engines from accessing yet.

And keeping reddit as successful and open as possible would be the best way for reddit to support the MIC. Their users are bloodthirsty for Russians almost without exception. I’m not convinced at all of this conspiracy.

Reddit would very much like their subreddits to all return to normal operation. They’re going to remove all mod teams that don’t unprivate later this week. Reddit’s valuation by Fidelity has been going down the drain since all this drama began. I don’t see evidence that they are purposely sandbagging against their own capitalist self-interest.

Musk being an incompetent (Hanlon’s Razor) can explain every single move he has made.

I added some suggestions/info to my reply comment btw.

In my part of the world, you can use any router or software, but if it’s not on their list of supported routers you don’t get support to fix the router or get internet service working.

Once you put a completely different software on the router, they shouldn’t have any way to identify it as their hardware over the internet. It would just look like “generic router using X protocol” to them. But to know more about what is allowed, it is best to check your ISP’s website.

As for if your chosen firmware supports their router, check the firmware’s compatibility list for your isp router’s model.

Edit: Oh one last thing, I’d try to get a copy of your router’s original firmware before overwriting it. Most routers have a way to flash firmware to it from a USB stick. And also seek out your router model’s manual.

Oh, and also find out how your network is configured now. For example, I have access to an isp provided modem and an isp provided router, and both are in my house. Currently, I use their modem but my own router. If you only have one device in an apartment, it may be that the modem is elsewhere on the premises, maybe shared with other tenants, or it is possible that you have a combination modem/router.

I don’t know about the software side of it, but if it’s something you’re renting from them for $5+ per month you will have to return it to them as it was when you got it or pay a replacement fee (unless they don’t check the software). Check your statement to see what fee you are paying to use their hardware.

If it’s $10 or $15+ just buy your own router and avoid the fee altogether. That way, you can choose one with documented compatibility with your desired software. It will pay for itself in about a year.

Yes, with the caveat that it could overwrite the Grub menu/boot partitions of other Linux installs on the device. I’d disconnect all disks with working Linux partitions and possibly all Windows ones too while installing to USB from a Live USB.

Taken from the linked announcement, it appears not:

The GNU Linux-libre project takes a minimal-changes approach to cleaning up Linux, making no effort to substitute components that need to be removed with functionally equivalent Free ones. Nevertheless, we encourage and support efforts towards doing so.

So basically it’s the user’s or maintainer group’s job to select replacement code/libraries/drivers and how they do that is up to them.

The only workable discreet GPUs with open source drivers that work right now are on Team Red (AMD) edit: and Intel.

There are good people working on Nvidia foss drivers but they have a long way to go.

Oh and lastly, here is a link to a thread of Linux beginner advice that I think is good. I have a nice response there that is pretty detailed. It’s in the Marxist lemmy though. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/735631

Don’t use regular Arch if you’re struggling. There are some arch-based distros that are more user friendly, though. Like EndeavourOS or ArchMan. Manjaro can be good too but there are legitimate problems with how the project is run.

I was having graphics driver problems in Ubuntu-based distros until I tried Linux Mint.

If you get crashes right before or after login, it’s often a (Nvidia) graphics issue. To get around this, you could use nomodeset in the Grub menu to get a successful first boot where you can then install the proprietary drivers.

Look at sections 4 and especially 5 on this page
Also, here is that info in a tutorial format

Also, you may want to set the Desktop Environment to Xorg or X11 (same thing) if Wayland is causing you problems. It’s older, but in some cases more efficient and less experimental. Check out the section: Switching desktop environments using a graphical user interface. It should look similar to the pictures. And notice that the “gear” icon may not appear until you select a user or start typing your password.

If your problem is different than this, open a support ticket in the discord or forums of the distro you’re using. Linux Mint has a great system for this on Discord.

Thank you for putting some actual student-budget options.

Yeah, Framework seems like a premium product for sure. I want one but I definitely can’t afford it anytime soon. Also worth noting that a new framework mainboard rivals the price of some entire laptops. So while it is definitely upgradable and one of the most repairable laptops in the world, it is still a pricy ecosystem to be in.

Eventually switch to every day but that’s a great starting place.
