Also, no, this is not an ideal way to do this. Ideally every package you want is in your distro's repos so you'd just need to do "apt install [package]".

The reason this one isn't is because mullvad wants to make sure you use their tested, secure, and updated version and they don't want to maintain that for every distro. So they have you configure your package manager to use their repos.

This is relatively uncommon to come across in Debian. You'll normally only find it in security applications or very niche ones. The Debian repos aren't the most comprehensive but they'll contain the vast majority of common softwares.

Been trying to think of a term for this issue. It's not quite chicken or egg. But both sides need the other side to incentivize them. If one gets going the other will follow, but they're waiting for each other. Like some sort of collaborative standoff.

Loved Control but never played Alan Wake. Just bought the first one recently so hoping to play through it then check out 2.

They don't. I've been on the same Debian install on laptop and desktop for years. It'll make some odd decisions with packages sometimes, but it hasn't bricked.

I don't have hard data, but you don't see these kinds of posts about Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.

Wow, what a tragic mess. Sounds like corporate greed at the root of it. Hope all the displaced people get sorted out. I worry about those that might not have much family...

Max is a pseudo-mythological figure. It's never clear in the movies how much time has passed. Word of writers says that he's multiple people retold as one person in retrospective story, but the movies don't show that so you can take or leave it. The game has him as an immortal doomed soul.

Whatever is the case, I think it's pretty clear we're not supposed to take the story we're told about Max via the movies as told completely faithfully.

I always interpreted Snowpiercer (the movie) as being somewhat ambiguous about whether there were other people. We only have the word of people we already know are authoritarians that lie to keep order.

One thing to consider is that it's not just hosting a site, it's all the work they do to do the DRM removal and the repack. That takes time, which might be time they could be using to earn money. So getting some money from their work can help incentivize it.

Hard to say what that actually boils down to for each person, if they're not releasing any expenses info (site costs, time spent per project, etc). If you're thinking about donating, I'd think of it more as a "thank you" gift for their work than anything else, and give an amount you wouldn't miss.

Ah I see. Those do seem like issues it could improve. Hope whatever you decide works out well for you.

 

I don't know about y'all, but to me this sure sounds like a drunk police officer crashed their car and arrested the witnesses.

I agree with the thoughts on second opinions. It sounds like you cope fine with your current situation already, and to be honest I'm skeptical much would change. At your age, the way you speak would be a very ingrained muscle memory thing. Maybe you could change it with some concerted effort but I suspect even with the surgery you'd still tend to speak the way you currently do.

Not at all. I use a tiling WM, and most of my time is spent in text editors or a browser. I just like having everything visible and spaced out automatically for me.

I think tiling WMs just have a lot of overlap with the terminal-heavy crowd. They tend to require some manual set up, and they tend to be very keyboard shortcut heavy. Both things also popular with people that tend to like using terminals.

Also keep in mind most screenshots advertising someone's set up are to show off, not their regular workflow. It's like looking at someone's professional head-shots and wondering if they usually dress like that.

 

Love this website, the layout is great and the explanations are simple and straight-forward.

Fun little guide put together by STLPR. Anything missing or wrong?

 

STLPR put out this neat collection of articles aimed at new members of the STL community. Lots of good stuff in there to share.

 

Love to see it. I hope this translates to more support for our public transit.
