  • On Firefox Mobile, you can install Ublock Origin (at least on Android). You can block JavaScript on a per site basis. Washington Post? NY Times? Some random Podunk page I will never read again?

    Fuck you!

    Also, notice that all right wing/fascist publications don't paywall articles. That is part of the problem.

  • There's too much money in the drug trade. Violence is a cost of doing business. Thier children grow up safe in the United States, living in luxury from the poison we buy from them. They literally have lobbyists working against drug legalization because it would destroy their captive market.

    Marijuana is still illegal federally and way past Hearst's hemp boycot to save his newspaper business, hint: it's the cartels working against legalization via lobbying.

  • I would tell you but I'm not signing up for the legalese involved in an Adobe Premiere Cloud Subscription. Fuckers reserve the right to use my art as AI training data?

    I draw the finest chocolate starfish.

  • I ran it about 5 years ago. A friend had trouble getting the Nvidia closed source drivers installed so I spun up an install to get it done. I was able to figure it out. There was an error message that either she didn't spot or maybe didn't find a resolution too.

    I do like Gentoo primarily because I am a troubleshooter at heart, I just don't always have the time to deal with a broken system anymore.

    I do get tempted to run it on bare metal from time to time. The last time I tried to install it in VirtualBox, it didn't work out unfortunately.

  • I had never installed Linux before. Back in 2006 my old college roommate told me that he was reading about it. I used Solaris Spark workstations back in college, but never ran Linux before. My other roommate ran Slackware which looked cool but I never looked into it. Anyway I had recently built a custom PC and I was trying to avoid paying the windows tax, and was growing tired of having to reinstall the cracked version I was using of "corporate windows xp" so I pulled up the installation guide, printed it out, and proceeded to install the stage 1 tarball.

    It definitely was a trial by fire. I learned a tremendous amount, and I don't regret any of it.

    I even was playing WoW under Cedega.

    I did eventually pick up a copy of Windows XP to run in parallels for Linux, and unfortunately, had to give it up for Windows XP as the main os due to Blizzard banning people who were playing Linux at the time.

    I miss it sometimes, but I don't have the free time to properly maintain an install of Gentoo.

    I usually run Linux Mint on my VMs and test bench hardware however because it just works.

    I ran Arch briefly but my conclusion was that if I wanted Ck and bl torture, I would just main Gentoo again.
