Greensleeves is almost 500 years old. I'm sure there were other very popular songs when it came out, but Greensleeves had to staying power to still be here. What do you think is today's Greensleeves?

    • "No thanks, I research my own charities before making a donation"

    Jump

  • Sure, but they also get to advertise that they donated X thousands of dollars to charity, while the truth is that the actual donors get no tax benefits at all. And like OP said, I'd rather use https://charitynavigator.org/ to do my own research before giving money to a corporation to donate to some organization that may be mishandling their funds.

    • Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

  • Daniel Suarez "Daemon" series was fantastic!

    • Does anyone run their desktop environment containerized?

    Jump

  • At work the only option I had was to get a Macbook, but I don't like MacOS, so I installed UTM and I run Arch Linux (ALARM for aarch64) as my desktop. It's functional, but of course I'd rather have a beat up, 5 year old Dell or Thinkpad so I could just run Arch natively.

    • VM suggestion for gaming?

    Jump

  • I've been a Linux gamer for a few years now. I don't have Windows at all. Between Steam's "Steam Play" and Lutris, you can play most games without issue. To find out if the games you want to play will work on Linux, check https://www.protondb.com/ and https://aclist.github.io/. Good luck!

  • I love the giant, inexpensive tins of ceylon tea at my local international market. If you can afford it, buy a bottle of rose water to add to the tea. Perfection. And of course, don't throw away the leaves - steep them again - the second steeping is even better than the first one.

  • It requires the paid version. It isn't available for Android. And it just shouldn't be required - email clients use POP3 or IMAP - those are the standards. I respect that Proton is trying to improve privacy with this app, but I wish they offered the option to use the established protocols too.

  • Do you have a recommendation on the least horrible big email company to use for a personal domain? I'm using Proton, but I'm mildly annoyed that they don't provide native IMAP - you have to install their Proton Mail Bridge app.
