If you can throw your phone into the ocean, get a new one, install your chat app on the new phone, and get access to your old messages you made on your old phone automagically, then that chat app is not private.

ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They’re Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises

I honestly don’t know. But I look for videos and pictures to archive on the Fediverse and saw someone complaining about this ad they saw.

They don’t actually pay

Beautiful World [Rage Against The Machine]

42441.67 powered on hours is really young for drive death, I normally don’t start seeing issues till 50k.

Is it making any audible sounds while running?

I haven’t read the smart data for Seagate in a while but the errors numbers look off and would like to see more details. Haveing errors in itself doesn’t mean much. Normally I look for Reallocated Sector Count, Seek Error Rate, and Uncorrectable Sector Count. But here it’s not telling the details like the types of errors.

Maybe try sudo smartctl -all /dev/sdd not sure if the -a you used is being interpreteded correctly?

I have kaldi auto updated with my preferred voice when ever there is a new release via obtainium.

I set kaldi as my tts engine, and I disabled the google TTS.

Distro hoping is fine. But there is a certain feeling you get when you can fix your own problems by reading the arch wiki

Note: yay by default aliases to `yay -Syu’.

paru is cool too.

Really, Moriarty was just trying to emulate and understand what Data and Picard used because it was so interesting to him.

You can install lcarsde on arch BTW.

Computer, Arch.

I gave my grandma a Linux, she had no idea. All she needed was a web browser that didn’t feed her ads and give her issues. Fedora with KDE was super simple for her to figure out how to use and actually had better accessibility features for her. And it was free.

Linux is actually pretty noob friendly nowadays. And if you don’t want to mess with it yourself, you can buy computers with Linux preinstalled today.

I get that sometimes people just want to complain and not solution. But like, using windows and other surveillance capitalism adjacent products is a path to fascism so like…maybe people should just, critically evaluate their problems and think of solutions every now and then?

Me who just installed installed EndeavourOS via their live disk because it’s stupidly simple, arch based, and I can read the arch wiki when I have issues.
