  • If you need to hide your torrenting activity, just use a seedbox

    I never understood seedboxes. A VPN on my own hardware works nicely. I hate cloud stuff. With a seedbox I'd have limited storage and would need to constantly pay monthly fees for it. Instead, I can just use my own hard drives on my own hardware.

  • Many students in my IT class think that a VPN is just "that thing that encrypts your Internet".

  • NordVPN is not good for torrents, they don't support port forwarding

  • I don't understand the point of installing a web browser that only runs one website.

  • Yeah I think it's best we don't advertise this place. It's a little strange.

  • Yeah my only complaints with gnome are the lack of system tray and the fact that sticky keys don't work well

  • we know better than you do” mentality towards design

    And I agree with them. I think people should pick whatever desktop environment needs the least amount of customization for their needs. Keep it simple. If Gnome works out of the box, use it. If KDE works out of the box, use it.

  • Just try out multiple desktops in a live environment and see what you like before you commit. In fact, I recommend people to use a linux live session for several weeks or months before switching, just to get used to it.

  • It is batshit crazy. Notepad was never meant to be what they are making it into. Not even WordPad should have AI nonsense. It's just not for that. It would be like adding advanced spreadsheet functionality to Microsoft Word. It's not what that's for, you have Excel for that.

  • other than a couple of weirdos, who is actually out there drinking raw milk?

  • and aren’t trying to kill themselves

    well…

  • Yeah, so much traffic it actually crashed the servers for a little bit

  • Next stop: Quoting Machiavelli

  • You can actually just use the outside one to get to your destination. You don't have to use the smaller ones in the middle if you don't want to

  • Next pride month we gon' be throwin' the bricks

  • There is a new park near me and I mapped the walking trail there.

    I'm doing my part

  • So nobody is going to talk about how he said "without the intent to fertilize an embryo" and not "fertilize an egg"? You can't fertilize an embryo lmao

  • “It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration,” Ogles said in a statement

    so Biden created a bad situation for him in 4 years, yet he thinks Trump needs 8 years to undo it. Sounds like a skill issue to me.

  • Maybe one could argue that sex doesn't produce reproductive organs, the sex organs do?
