Id' say your comparison pictured is not valid. It's not the same document in both programs. On the left you have opened Lorem Ipsum.docs and on the right you have a new untitled document.

If one truly wants to share final documents use pdf not a draft format like docx.

In two of my previous jobs (I'm a software engineer) I could officially install any Linux distro to the company laptop (which I did of course) fully replacing the wintoys. Could use the machine as I liked, no corporate mandated BS spyware or anything. On of the provides a SaaS product and used Linux server/virtual machines. Otherwise it was mostly MS bits + sprinkle a little Atlanssian horrors to it.

Unfortunately in my current job I'm limited a VirtualBox Linux running a corporate restricted wintoys machine in a MS environment. A long for the days when I was more productive with my Linux installation.

It's just sad and funny how corporate world is that MS products it has to be (because reasons).

That's Firefox's fault not the plugins. They don't allow any plugin to run in internal pages.

Not getting updates doesn't make any app inherently bad. Possible bugs just won't get fixed. If an app is feature complete and everything works as they should there's no need to update it.

You should also play the Knife of Dunwald and Brigmore Witches DLCs.

Metro Exodus (PC Enhanced Edition).

Are these available on f-droid already?

Sounds like the drive is FAT32 formatted. Max file size then is 4GiB. Compress it with bzip2 or 7zip or try the @bartolomeo's solution.

LibreOffice has a builtin pdf export functionality.

+1 for Nebula

Tor browser can be used to access the site itself but don't use it for torrenting itself.

systemd also waits 2 minutes for a network connection which already exists but it can’t see it because systemd doesn’t do the networking

Any way to speed this up? On my system in every boot it waits for network for 30s.

Actually it's Netfilter. IPTables is just a frontend.

Google is lying to you. They don’t want your phone number to “verify it’s you”. They want your phone number because it’s an effective measure against bot accounts.

There you're correct that they are lying and don't want the number to verify. They want it so they can link the profile they have to an actual person. That'll make the profile more valuable to them. Better tracking etc.

Basically anything above assembly is a high level language. The article is not about making everything from scratch. It's about thinking about what you're doing and not just being lazy.

Very true.

My guess would be it's looking for the removed swap partition. Comment out or remove the entry for swap from /etc/fstab.

It looks something like this:

UUID=b27bc530-5a8f-4160-8814-95679e0f4987 swap swap defaults 0 0
