Thanks for the reminder to backup all my important apps, including Tasker.

That brings back lots of memories!

If only my phone battery lasts that long. LOL

I download and read pirated books because I am in the process of writing a new and transformative novel.

Quite possibly Philippines.

I just want Sony to re-release the Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated internals.

I vaguely remember if I wanted to play it in single player, I would press select first before entering the code for it to trigger in the correct mode. LOL

It’s not working? Try blowing into the cartridge again.

I still have an account but no longer contribute anything. I occasionally visit it to see what’s up but that’s about it. I do nit have the app installed and only access via the browser.

Back to the Future.

A normal Doc Brown wouldn’t have invented a time machine.

There are 2 types of companies, the ones who have been hacked the the ones which don’t know they’ve already been hacked g about to be hacked.

If you’re curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book “Your face belongs to us” by Kashmir Hill. It’s an interesting read.

Back in the early days of Win10, an updated messed up my system and I ended up with duplicated icons. Wasn’t happy, but didn’t feel that it was that big of a deal to warrant a full reinstall.

2 years ago I built myself a new desktop and decided to try installing Linux straight away. Haven’t looked back since.

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.

Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I’m still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.

Also listen to Linux Game Cast.

I previously used Nobara but recently switched to Bazzite. I think you can give either of these two a shot. I recall Nobara includes a one button install of nvidia drivers. Not too sure about Bazzite since I have an AMD gpu.

Both these distros are gaming focused. Only difference is Nobara is a traditional distro while Bazzite is atomic desktop based.

Noted. I guess used the wrong definition for Bazzite and that confused me. LOL.

Good to know that /etc is writable. I might have to download it and give it a spin. Thanks for clarifying.

Have not tried immutable distros, but I like the idea that the core OS is read-only to prevent a rookie user from messing things up.

Then again, if the core OS is read-only, is it at all possible to modify some system files like fstab files to auto-load drives?
