More for me 😁

It’s all American cities. Crime is terrible. My car was broken into multiple times when I lived in the city. A relative had two thugs crawl in her bathroom window.

Plenty of great places in America particularly if you like rural living.

It’s the geopolitical equivalent of “at least take me out to dinner first”

They don’t have problems like this in Mongolia.

EndeavourOS meets all of those criteria except for the GUI package management which, admittedly, is unnatural to the Windows convert. However conquering that small, surmountable hump will unlock the AUR which imo is the real value add. There are many packages that are not included in standard repos that are included in the AUR. Regardless users can choose whatever they want. EndeavourOS is a great distro that is not complicated. It uses the calamares installer and ships with KDE. An afternoon of reading about how pacman works and installing yay/paru provides a great user experience and they will never have to do a system upgrade.

Radicale is great

I recommend EndeavourOS to newbies because I’m biased towards Arch. I think it’s a relatively low BS distro that gets you up and running. You also have access to the AUR which is awesome.

If that seems like too much I’ve heard Linux Mint is dead simple and stable.

Just use EndeavorOS

Bonuses are typically tied to company performance

Emacs supports whatever you want and more with org-mode. It’s an upfront investment but you can use your config until you die.

People are trained to give their data to corporations and subscribe to everything costing them more money over the course of their lives. Selfhosting is simple nowadays particularly with projects like Umbrel out there in the market. If someone is a white collar worker under 40 “complicated” or “time-consuming” aren’t really viable excuses anymore. It’s something else.

Selfhosting is the best solution for everything except maybe email. I’m not sure the author of this article actually knows how to use computers.

My entire homelab is constructed with the unofficial goal of never watching any advertisements ever.

This thread is the best evidence of why Men’s groups exist.

I don’t care about your opinion. The other poster was substantive even if I disagreed with him. You are not. You’re trying to morally shame me and it’s not working.

I understand that you think my moral superior so wrote off your comment particularly since it followed a self-identified drunkard talking about things that have nothing to do with the original discussion.

I guess I’m supposed to start weeping after your meek appeal for me to look inward. Whatever your motivation was is almost certainly something I cogently and with full knowledge disagree with.
