Compared to the alternative. Danniella Westbrook etc.

If you haven't tested your backups, you ain't got a backup.

Early 20 century comedy. Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Marx Brothers, and all the rest. Not technically a series; sue me.

Nice try Elon.

Just like the seventies, anarchy is the only way forward to get out of this lying twisted thieving divisive oligarch of politics running my country for the last quarter century plus.

Isn't it strange that when you believe in an oligarch, they never disappoint.

What kind of car is that?

You need different friends.

I don't have a drink problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

It's not really about warm or cold, it's about how they get the bottle lid off, a snake not being an octopus.Especially now they have those lids-attached set-ups.

systemd seems to like mounting stuff on /media. However, I would consult the Linux filesystem hierarchy documents around (eg. Wikipedia and then follow the references) for the most compatible place.

/srv /mnt tend to suggest themselves. /home is for your personal stuff not shared user wide stuff.

Don't put stuff in local directories, leave it in a NAS location and mount it where you need it using fstab or auto/mount units and the appropriate filesystem. Maybe I've misunderstood something you wrote to think of this last bit.

Fedora. It just works. I use it for work and it doesn't let me down. Semi annual upgrading it is easy and it seems to be moving slowly, because gnome/LibreOffice is, to flatpaks. It's slow to change and stable because of it, they still include Grub when it became a relic since systemd included gummyboot (systemd-boot) many years ago.

Contrast that with ArchLinux which is 'cleaner' and a rolling distro which I prefer; Fedora isn't. I use it for a Rescue USB. I used to use it for work but, and this is long ago, I managed to break it quite easily by 'fixing it' too much! ArchLinux doesn't let me down but I don't have a gui or Window manager on it, console only, and I know my way around Linux reasonably well.

Debian is still confused about systemd. Run a combination of testing and unstable branches on the desktop and you've got a great system but this is before the systemd days where they moved all the systemd defaults to the old/odd places that make no sense. As you say, snap appears to be another mad experiment by Ubuntu, like mir when everyone went to wayland.

If you're going to use your PC for games, I think there may be better distros than these. I'm not a gamer so I can't advise.

I'm not a huge fan of derivative distros, like Ubuntu (based on Debian decreasingly) or so on. I'm not one to mess about with screen savers etc and aesthetics though. To me derivatives add bloat and unexpected changes.

Source distros are a rabbit hole I've been down. They were fun but I couldn't get myself to do any work when I had them.

I've never tried SUSE, it's alternative rpm style distro which can be stable as a rolling.

Distrowatch.com is always worth a visit. Find a/several forum that is your intended use and find out which district they use there; if you have issues they'll know how to fix it.

Hehe!

Thank-you.

I was hoping that the content would be id linked to a user id so that moving an account would remain linked to the content if moved between instances.

It's not an inconceivable expectation for when instances close down or people find that the instance doesn't suit them.

Is that the case?

Upvoted.

If Facebook and Apple have eroded people's brains to the point where such a simple question cannot be answered without freaking out, then we're in trouble.

Yes. Thinking ability is gone. That's of last century.

Maybe I've just written my/our answer. Fuck that's depressing. Happily I'm old - I'll be dead soon. This will be your problem.

Pepsi.

That's ok.

In the age of AI - actually of fiends like fb reddit etc -, we're all stock photography models.

You had me going there! I thought Tesseract was something to do with OCR.

Haven't looked around for a while, but I've settled on Voyager.

Sadly, F-Droid tries to share the actual binary not a link to it via F-Droid (a la Google Play).

I have the reference application, Jeroba, installed but I don't really like it and haven't seen it updated for a while.

All we need now is a CodeTitanic, to make the story complete.

Have you ever been on Facebook? Ever read the illiterate moronic uneducated garbage that people post as fact? It's called 'my truth'; maybe because it's only true in their sphere (of one).

There are going to be a seriously large number of people totally flummoxed by that question.
