Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I’ve been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it’s extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to use it.

I personally don’t have a PDF reader since Firefox can open them and so can Fossify Files

By using PeerTube instead

Yeah, definitely Earthbending for sure.

A gunman could walk in with an AK-47 and shoot everybody dead on live tv… Oh wait, you mean what will happen in the debate? Well obviously since it’s already over, we know the answer to that.

Consume everything you can. Go down the rabbit hole so deep you’re afraid you’ll never come back. To start with, I suggest Monero Talk. That’s where you can start to listen to podcasts about it. And to get your first, you can go to xmrbazaar.com and click “Earn XMR”

Monero

Well, I can’t help you with the fact that you don’t have a whole lot of money to begin with, but as far as the fees and regulations and currency issues, Monero would solve that.

I donate sometimes with monero

I cant get focus on github anymore like i was. That’s the primary issue.

I don’t trust the built-in password store and therefore use a password manager. But I would just like a browser that I can open up besides that one which is my main browser that would automatically delete things every time I quit it.

Yes, it does, but it’s a pain in the ass to use because most of the time you want to use it in regular browser mode which saves cookies, etc. I have Firefox focus set as my default and in most cases I use it and then very rarely if I actually need something to stick around I will open it in Fennec

I use the T-Mobile Connect prepaid plan now, but I’ve heard very good things about Mint Mobile and for a long time I used Ting Mobile before it was bought by Dish Network.

Edit: btw i run a community !t_mobile@lemmy.ml If anyone has any interesting topics.

Monero

I got the 50 from this video.

Ugh, Yes, you could. But, Cloudflare.

If you self-host, it’s better, but it’s still not great. The people would then know the IP address of your server that you were hosting it on, so you’d have to make sure it was a VPS and not done from home.

Because encryption doesn’t work for rooms over 50 people, so any room over that size is public by default. And most of the usage is the Matrix.org home server.
