Not everyone that disagrees with a law is in a position to immediately change it.

Nah. Replacing the kernel is probably planned for the next point release - it’ll just be GNU/systemd

It doesn’t break apt, Canonical just broke their version of apt just to prefer snaps now.

FTFY

Only reason it wouldn’t work is Canonical killing the .deb package. That was an unforced error. So no, still not a good idea.

The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, “fine fining” menus, and corporate award certificates

(Assuming US jurisdiction) Because you don’t want to be the first test case under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act where the prosecutor argues that circumventing restrictions on a company’s AI assistant constitutes

ntentionally … Exceed[ing] authorized access, and thereby … obtain[ing] information from any protected computer

Granted, the odds are low YOU will be the test case, but that case is coming.

Definitely beatable as of last week.

For a privacy friendly OS, surprised nobody has mentioned Freedombox

It’s designed explicitly for your use case, along with an easy path to other self hosted services. When you’re ready for more than it offers through the web interface, it’s a full Debian install under the hood - so you can install whatever you need to. Privacy friendly and super stable, with smooth upgrades to new releases and security updates for old versions several years after the new one is available.

As far as hardware, your old computer is probably more powerful than a Pi and can support more drives, but the Pi will be more power efficient. As others have mentioned, if you care about your data long term then backups are a must, so a separate NAS or a Pi with a large drive for backup storage is a good idea as well, whatever OS you choose.

Lost your listener’s license, did you?

You had an uncommonly principled principal.

True enough for database or dictionary storage, but a lot of times things get implemented in arrays where you still wind up with two copies of the same uint32.

And dupe check. 0.0.0.0 and 000.000.000.000 may both be valid, but they resolve the same

Better hope the goon hasn’t heard of IPv6 either, or you’re toast

kwin supports a tiling mode which it sounds like they’re already using, so … yes?

It wasn't meaningless, and I went out of my way to make clear the sample size wasn't statistically significant.

The point was that the parent comment implied there was no reason to start eating meat again after making a moral choice not to. My anecdote shows that some people do anyway, therefore there must be a reason.

That in my experience they tended to be the people who relied on meat substitutes was presented as an observation of interest, not as hard evidence of universal truth.

For bacon bits, they're talking about the drid stuff in the plastic cans - "Bacos" and similar. They're usually soy based with artificial flavor - probably for longer/safer shelf life

Depends. Not all nutritional yeast is B12 fortified

I can't really answer the question of why, but the sample set of people I know who switch to vegetarianism and veganism bears out that the ones who rely in fake meats much more frequently switch back than those who focus on learning to cook foods that don't imitate meat.

On the counterargument, I did miss cheese quite a bit, and learning to culture my own vegan cheeses hasn't led to buying animal milk cheeses again, so ymmv

Archive.org doesn't really "get away with it." They face frequent lawsuits and have a steady stream of donations to fight them, along with enough staff to handle responding to takedown demands etc. That isn't true of most Lemmy instances.
