New one.
3 hours of soulless cash grab capitalyzing on the fact that we had been starved of cinema for 2 years and everyone was so hyped to come back no one wanted to admit the movie was a boring mess of everyone involved sucking his own dick instead of working together for a good product.
I don't want to see the twentieth 4 minutes desert panoramic: it's a fucking desert, we get it can we move on? Or the stupidly intense stares between Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson in random situations: you two are stranded in the desert drinking your own sweat and piss, why are you looking at each other like you're going to fuck?

What makes you stand out?

Standing up

Dune.

Shower me with downvotes, I don't care.

My mind went straight to Gwyneth Paltrow

In addition to other people's comments, flatpaks are usually more up to date than their apt counterpart (expecially those from the debian stable repositories).
I run debian and I deliberately installed some software from flatpak (eg. Ardour and Guitarix) because the deb package is a whole version behind.

Windows '95. My mom didn't know the concept of backwards incompatibility and got it second hand in 2001. It was hard to find something that would run on it beyond Doom.

Conversely, go the harbor freight route. If you use it until it wears out then upgrade.

If you have a faulty wrench you'll strip your bolts and turn your next hour into a nightmare. It's objectively better to get a small set of essential quality tools and expand your game later.

I don't know how much money there is in fixing things though?

Well, there are still things that are worth repairing and need constant maintenance, like bicycles and guitars. If you specialyze you'll always have clients.

Learn to fix things: get small a set of good tools (don't bother buying cheap ones because they break easily and will also break the things you're fixing) andthen practice with stuff from friends and family first

On Sunday mornings I fix bicycles at the local community center for free, we just charge the price of materials.
For me is like Zen meditation, it makes my mind focus on one simple task in these crazy times where our attention span is all over the place. And it's good for our community since most of the people that come there are broke college students, families having a hard time and in general people who want to spend time together. Our group is always growing, I'm expecially proud of two kids, children of immigrants, who came to learn from us two years ago and now managed to save enough money to open their own bike repair shop.

Yeah I didn't mean that FOSS was born out of communism, I believe culturally/antropologically speaking is more a direct product of the hippie movements from the 60s.
What I meant is that FOSS is aimed at "giving the means of production back to the people" and "rejecting the privatization of intellectual property" (Stallman talked about those concepts in many interviews) and those are of the core principles in Marx's philosophy.
I know that for some people "communism" can be a trigger word, but there's a big difference between a philosophy and an authority.

Also "empathy, humanism, solidarity...": have you ever interacted with people on GitHub?

Wait what? A communism advocate who also develops Free and Open Source Software, which is literally communist philosphy applied to computers?

I'm blown away

In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like "can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago" and my reaction was "Yes..."

• NOFX (always will be my #1)
• The Offspring (until '96)
• Buzzcocks
• Violent Femmes
• Bad Religion

My 300 lbs father is a Chairbender

THANK YOU FOR ASKING, NO IT'S NOT.

I know the name 'Linux' is used to identify a family of OSs, but in reality it is actually only the kernel (the part of the system that allows hardware and software to communicate)

I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Linux isn’t the OS

Over my dead body!

I could use flatpak to get the newest version, but could I then get rid of the pre installed old version?

Of course you can and if you decide to go down this route you should take a look at Flatseal that can help you with flatpak permissions and theming.

debian's default graphics look also prehistoric. Can I change that installing other styles?

Debian installs Desktop Environments without any theming, just plain vanilla DEs and in most cases, expecially with XFCE, they are not that pretty out of the box. You can still theme it to look and work the way you prefer.

with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate... how troublesome is to change those after installation?

sudo apt install new-desktop-environment, log out and log back in selecting a different desktop in the display manager: piece of cake

This doesn't mean that xubuntu has bloatware, but simply much more pre installed packages, right?

Keep in mind that the 0.7gb debian image is the "netinstall", which pulls software from repository instead of installing it directly. There are also debian "DVD" images that can be up to 4gb as well. And yes, Xubuntu has more bloatware but not as much as you might believe

Never felt it as judgement :)

It has shortcuts that feel a little more natural to me and the ootb theming makes files more easy to navigate.
I know you can also theme nano but I'm lazy

The first things I install on a fresh linux install are always htop (task manager) and micro (nano but better).
