33 minutes and nobody has offered an impractical yet potentiall workable solution(?) yet… maybe it really isn’t possible.

Can’t use soulseek fairly without opening a port; I’m exclusively on mobile internet with a VPN without port forwarding… I might pay for home wifi for one month out of the year to fill my drive…

Depending on how security is, you can plug a USB-c hub and connect it to a KBM and run it that way…

Weird considering we haven’t declared “war” since 1942.

Ah, so you have friends and family! That is a blessing, and I know that from distant experience.

I guess I don’t understand why remote access is such a popular use case. Throw some shit on your phone, h/d, or thumbdrive and you’re good for a few hours. I crammed 4 full seasons of STNG on my phone recently.

And Marsters is in a few Torchwoods as Basically Spike.

Will it be awkward for a new Buffy series to reference Scooby Doo since SMG was in it? Like when Marvel references the Big Lebowski when Jeff Bridges was in the second Iron Man.

I like to use the time filter and can listen in 5 languages; “oldies” in various genres, times, and places, isn’t that hard to research–plenty of free internet radio out there.

Sorry to the new bands out there.

Edit: Also I find the mindset of finding the exact best music is kind of unhealthy. Building a tolerance for meh actually helps me discover things that don’t immediately and instantly appeal to me, and I think that leads to more musical variety in the long run than the skip-happy attitude streaming encourages.

Everybody is paying for some kind of music streaming service of some kind or another.

Count me out. I’m building a music library of my own with the help of my local library, thrift stores, and the internet. And, shit, I just got a record player, too.

How are they not getting blocked?

I’ve thought of mass scraping youtube for music, but it’s not worth ths risk of being banned by Google for life.

Yup. Motorola should be coming out with a GOS-compatible phone in a year or so. There was a bit of buzz because of local age verification requirements, which GOS dev said fuck you to, but I don’t think thatś enough to derail the project since I don’t think Motorola ever planned to ship GOS, just make it compatible for users and IT depts to install it—which so far does not violate any laws.

Do wake up in a bathtub filled with ice and stitches over where a kidney used to be?

I did mention brain drain in my comment. The US is giving up a huge economic advantage being hostile to immigration. Raising & educating children is hugely expensive and having young educated people come to work a life time (and have more children) is an enormous boon.

Thinking of going abroad for dental implants. An oral surgeon said it used to be an issue with poor-quality knock off parts, but that the manufacturing has gotten really good.

Countries keep cost low by subsidizing doctors’ education, by the way, which is even more expensive for them when those doctors cash out to come to the US where doctors graduate with a debt of $250,000 from schools where graduation class size hasn’t changed in decades.

By the by, intensive and indiscrimnate care by specialists–where doctors want to end up instead of low-paid primary care–is definitely more expensive without necessarily leading to better outcomes.

Why are a multitude of poor options better than a few good options?

There’s this weird mix of free market capitalism and FOSS philosophy that says more and shallower forks = better ecosystem.

Not commenting on this OS specifically, but just questioning your blase assertions that more options is better. Maybe it would be have been better to invest more time into an existing project.

Edit: Great arguments for this OS all around, I’m just saying please DO make an argument instead of just assuming that ANY diversity is good.

I haven’t done this yet since it’s still an open question if I want to survive the apocalypse (just have a few extra bags of dried beans), but you probably want special food grade plastic with rubber gaskets, neither of which I think Home Depot offers.

Yup. If you’re extra paraoid, get some air-txght buckets, fill them with beans and don’t tell anyone you have them until you have a gun.
