I’ll have to try that,

I struggle with this on mint. I’ll add it but then it refuses to launch.

Its fun to think of alternate storage media. The other day I calculated that with the idiotic pricing now, HDDs are only slightly cheaper than DVD storage. And DVDs last longer and dont crash randomly, especially if you get long storage dvds.

Couple years ago, I got three DOA WD red nas HDDs. Dead. And 2 DOA Samsung ssds. I have zero trust for any drive now. No doubt theyre all cost cutting and going to shit. I have 20 year old drives that still work fine.

Ive never personally experienced disc rot even on 20 year old discs, but I heard people have. But yeah DVDs would obviously be a goofy mass backup solution.

Commodore os is fricken sweet dude. If I’d had that shit as a kid I’d have been flooored

It will just be a lot harder to get to, and likely harsher laws put in place as well.

I mean, not allowing vpns for personal use would stop us all. Businesses would of course be allowed to use them.

With how the internet is going, I don’t think we will be able to get content from it in 5 to 10 years. It will be completely locked down, so all we have on our drives will be it. Back to mailing DVDs!

Oh sxan

Well we are different in that regard. I keep shit a long time ha, so ive probably had my phone 3 years and been in a plane 5 or 6 times . my SO flies a lot more, has many times had to sprint to their gate because it changed last minute.

Plus, we dont own a printer anymore (ink=scam) so thats another hassle to go print a ticket. I’m guessing you can’t even print at home either you probably need to use the airport printer.

Hotel: check in to room immediately without even going to front desk, even if its 3 am.

Airline: instant update of gate changes. When you need to sprint to make your flight because thr gate changed to one a half mile away, this is something you can’t live without. TVs are getting less and less in airports now. Also, literally no one uses a paper ticket and I suspect they’ll be phased out completely in 5 years. Too easy to fake.

There are people alive today who have never once written a check (I do, often), so you can kiss all of our old analog paper ways goodbye in a few years.

My daily argument with my friends!

Buuutt are you someone who travels and uses airline and banking and hotel apps? Or do you stay home and use arch on a thinkpad ?

Uhh the pinephone in general sucks for daily use . its a tinker phone

True

The issue. You won’t be able to get old phones when theyre gone. Just like cars.

I mean its a small company. We have become too used to subsidized costs at the sake of our privacy. Know why TVs are now $200? They are literal spyware in the home. Try buying one without spyware, $999 real fast for the same TV.

Know why phone companies give you a “free” $1000 phone? Youre the product. Constantly tracked and sold. A digital slave.

I know multiple people who had kids and they didnt get then any vaccines (religion).

I’m wary of even being around those kids.

My hard drives have more than doubled in cost in 6 months.

Fuck data centers.

Indeed

Try just using digital TV. I get like 20 channels on mine with just a coax cable hooked to a VCR!

Ohh I see now. I was just wondering why you’d make a community for only yourself so I didnt get that. But you’d basically have it for your account to live on.
