Good info. Mine have been working well. But I still keep the hard copies I dont get rid of them. But yes disc rot is a thing though ive not experienced it

True, but im also reusing a shit ton of stuff and not buying into the “i need new all the time I need the latest thing” I dont even hace a set of wireless headphones because they are A: stupid, and B: my 15 year old headphones work perfectly. My car is 13 years old and i do most repairs. Never had a new car.

Normies dont understand the abstraction layer between all their data being stored in offline data banks and being mined for illegal ai use and surveillance.

Ill keep my physical media thanks. Never was on the cloud bandwagon, I wont be on the ai bandwagon.

Linux has built-in in dvd burning and ripping tools that work amazingly. Been ripping all my ps1 and ps2 games.

Lol, consumerism.

Still burning cds and making tapes here. Nothing changed. You got sucked into consumer capitalism

Yep they block mullvad. Good riddance I say (to reddit. Its all bots anyways)

Yeah but it cant exist well regulated because of how it is. Then again humans suck so all systems have downsides.

You’re forgetting, not every program in the world exists in your repository.

When they do, great, but doesn’t always happen. Make mkv for one, you have to get the linux version off their site custom.

Also it seems you may be one of those people driving people away from linux saying normies are idiots and need to rtfm. Maybe work on that.

This is true for some but it doesn’t work like that in reality. Its much easier to install on windows vs linux, thats just how it is.

Don’t even get started on flatpak vs .Deb vs compiling vs snap…explaining that to a windows user makes them about lose their mind.

Windows wins here. Click exe. Install. Done. AND the benefit of being allowed to install to a different hard drive, which linux will not allow without a ton of hoop jumping.

Linux is great but let’s not pretend windows doesn’t do certain things much better.

Also, not being able to see all your installed programs in one place because they are a blend of .Deb, snap, flatpaks, and compiled. It becomes a mess very quick if youre not careful.

Glad im not the only one. Thats one thing that makes me go man, people will never leave windows for this, this is insanely complex to juat install a program.

I find it fun to learn tho

Omg my friend and I discussed exactly this!!

I just wanna kill clankers. Not play someone who has 5000 hours to game and destroy everyone lol. Not fun for me.

I wish! There’s no way companies will move away from teams one drive and SharePoint , they love it

Oil companies are private. Wars are started for oil.

Also government distrust and heavy focus on its inefficiencies is a tried and true right wing/authoritarian tactic. The public gobble it up because they dont take 6 seconds to actually think.

Popshop sucks massively. But I’ve never had an issue with mints software manager.

Dead eyesss

Did this with my SO, they have mint like me. And they like it!

They wanted puppy linux though xD

Ah gotcha. It sounded familiar

Funkee?

You can sync over adat. And for some people it’s fine. But I would never trust it for high stakes recording. Digital pops and clicks and smearing SUCK.

I have basically this setup. Word of warning, use bnc word clock. Don’t trust adat word clock. I dont care if people say it works fine, its way too risky and plenty of good interfaces have wordclock, if it doesn’t, its not worth getting.

Also, adat cables suck ass and are highly fragile. If you dick around behind your stuff and it gets jostled a lot, watch out for problems. If you set and forget and keep the dust off your equipment theyre generally fine.

I learned this from years of real world experience!
