It also seems much higher in overall quality, at least from my limited exposure. I'm still trying to navigate and find people to subscribe to.

I misread the title at first as "Assassin's Greed".

Does it not run in a virtual machine very well or at all?

Serious question: I've been using Krita to mess around with the tablet, but are there any good reasons to learn GIMP coming from a photoshop background all these years, given that I also know Krita somewhat?

Show me on the doll where you let advertisers touch you. I suspect it's most all of your orifices?

I have embraced firefox as my primary browser now. I have a few remaining cookies on chrome that I have to re-establish in FF, and then I can't even imagine any reason I'd even need to use chrome again other than some obscure internal web app that I can spin up on a throwaway virtual machine.

Same here, man, same here. EndeavourOS + Firefox + Privacy Badger + uBlock origin + User agent switcher/manager + VPN is my favorite recipe so far.

I'm a ham radio guy, so I'm licensed by the FCC to transmit 1500 watts in the ham bands. Talk about a flashlight glowing. It's on my todo list to make a good antenna for directional finding of signals.

I've done a lot of bluetooth work and know how terrible it is as a protocol, but do you see any issues with only using it for a speaker/earphone, assuming no other devices even within a valid proximity of the transceiver? If nothing can hijack or manipulate or listen to the session, is it that insecure? I disable it and use wired earbuds when I'm mobile for that reason.

100% true facts. I am basically permanently open source OS and firefox now. (Shoutouts to EndeavorOS, going to wipe this PC clean of ubuntu next.)

Oh my God the more I use it the more amazing it is already. The customization in the Plasma appearance settings is exactly what I've missed this whole time. I feel like I've wasted all these years now. Better late than never I s'pose.

So if someone starts using EndeavorOS daily, can they claim to be an arch user? Edit: I'm now wiping my laptop clean and using it as my daily driver from now on. This is probably my first experience with Plasma, and I am loving it way more than gnome so far.

I don't "feel comfortable" paying extortion prices, either.

It's been my primary desktop for about 7 years now, at least. Ubuntu + gnome, tweaked and extended a bit. It's difficult to boot into windows even for gaming at this point.

God I love lemmy, I would have probably never known about EndeavorOS otherwise. Time to fire up a vbox VM and give this thing a whirl.

You probably can. If I were to do it, I'd probably gorge one day on 12 deviled eggs and call it good for a couple weeks, probably minimizes total damage (instead of a continuous exposure every day, similar to how professional eaters work.)

The sad part is that it's mostly in the yolks, which is my main reason for eating them. Research suggests 2 a week or less, so I try to stick to that guideline to stay on the safe side. If it hadn't impacted my grandfather I probably would have never known about the link.

Or you can be insane like me, and don't eat eggs at all. Mostly because prostate cancer runs in my family and eggs drastically increase risk of lethal prostate cancer. It's the lethal aspect of egg cancer that bothers me after my grandfather died from it.

It's even more weird all that invested time into people who are going to find ways to block them either way, instead of focusing on their userbase that doesn't use them. Seems like they are rummaging through the couch cushions for pennies at this rate.
