I have been rekindling my patronage to my county’s libraries and archive.org.

Sure, these are DVDs, but they can be upscaled and are easily backed up.

I buy a crap load of books like I have a spending problem, but I get them used from bookstores and thriftstores. Libraries will always have something I can’t find, with the added glory of browsing serendipity.

Sure, I like to pirate, but there is more treasure at your ports than you think.

THANK YOU EVERYONE who recommended PHOTOREC! This community is fantastic.

Bizarre. Not even keep a few editors for… the editing??

I wonder how this will affect the Stuff You Should Know podcsst.

Perhaps Solus. Not because it is bad per se, I have not touched it in years, but more as an example of glorifying a distro because of the contribution of a single person, which almost imploded when the main contributor could not continue working on it.

Same wirh Void, where it almost got lost because the dude with the github access disappeared.

Slackware is cool, but it will be a sad day when they guy behind it stops working on it.

Or maybe I am bugging. They are all doing fine. Open source doesn’t allow for catestrophic demise on good ideas.

That is is a special kind grieving.

Honestly a thesis is way higher stakes and value. Yeah, imagine thinking there was an emergency only to find out your roommate will need to spend the rest of the semester using their imagination.

One thing I love to collect are tiny CRTs. I actually grew up watching Star Trek on a boom box with a television built in (what the hell happened to it, I dont know).

They are awesome! All the fun of a CRT without the pain of it being heavy and taking up a lot of space.

I feel you misread. I mean what I spelled, county, the collection of cities that define the specific region I live in.

My library card gives me access to many libraries in that county, which yes, has works from people across the globe.

That is what I am starting to realize. Every paid program that I used to desire is now subscription based.

Also, I am coming to terms with how truly powerful FOSS programs are. People seem to pay for the workflow, the user interface, more than the capabilities. At least I feel that way with DAWs. Ardour does everything. Vital makes every sound. I can be happy with that. I need to focus on making music.

I briefly considered getting into Fedora Silverblue, and I still may for this very purpose.
