I’m currently using Pop!_OS, which is a great desktop distro.

I was using MX Linux a lot which is amazing for both times when you need a portable distro with lots of features and when you need something that will still run well on older machines.

I always assumed it was shorthand for an html close tag like </s>, so I’m going with “/s”.

Until markdown gets a sarcasm thing at least.

Icecast is awesome and I wish more people knew about it. I much prefer it to things like Spotify.

And yeah, VLC can do anything. It could probably make me an iced coffee if I looked through the settings. Something cool I also discovered is that it can do iptv, which lets you stream TV shows.

I’ve used Mastodon, I feel that it has the same issue that a lot of fediverse social media platforms have vs the big corporate ones, that nobody that I know is on them haha. Which is annoying, I like the setup a whole lot more since they tend to be more designed around being usable platforms for communication instead of just being a way for algorithms to shove content in your face all day.

I would say “cursive is how adults write, you’ll need to know it”, but that wasn’t true then either.

Yup, either through Termux or Round Sync

Rclone makes Cryptomator redundant since it has built in encryption, if you want it simple.

That is most of what it does unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean. It can do general image manipulation stuff.

I used to use GIMP, but Krita has gotten advanced enough to where it can replace it for most things (at least that I would use it for).

There are a lot of “I like this in theory but nobody else I know uses it” social things like Matrix 😑

Duckduckgo has an email redirect thing where you can make temporary addresses that forward to your normal one.

I do it the old school way and just use stopwatches. Especially with running, it’s easy to just go by time and record it manually.

I use Iris, its very simple.

Joplin for notes, and Rclone drastically improves any cloud services.

Its tricky, because how much do I really know about people’s views who I’ve never met? Especially more famous people who might just be crafting a public image. They might be hiding aspects of thier views that are bad publicity, or just being controversial to drum up attention.

I could see that, both series really work from very good character writing, if thats someone’s thing. I loved both as well.

If you liked Assassin’s Apprentice, Robin Hobb wrote a lot of other excellent books set in the same world.

Empire of the Vampire was great if you want something like The Witcher.

I don’t know if this helps, but if you use DuckDuckGo as a default search engine in your browser, its easy to look things up on Wiktionary using !wt. And yeah, Wiktionary is awesome and very underappreciated.
