I have been confusing some people with my bouncing all around various linux topics lately so let me explain my mindset. I like free software, not just free of money but freedom to customize. I love customization and making things work and look how I want them to. I like to tinker and learn. I have heard some call it "hacking on" this or that.

Linux also matches how my brain works in a lot of ways. lots of tangents to veer off and gopher holes for fall down lol. Which reminds me.. if there a fediverse version of something like github or gitlab?

@josias LUL Wish I thought about that before I got my Note 10+ 5G, but that's fine. Maybe it will be even better by the time I need to upgrade again.

Finally getting around to teaching myself git. What push option do you think is better for basic, personal work and testing?

that feeling when your brain explodes with so many ideas that it suddenly collapses back in on itself forming a singularity of thought.

@design_RG I fully agree. That's what I think makes it the perfect distraction. Nothing explodes the media like racial riots, especially deserved ones. I just mean... the human race was starting to unify under a shared experience with this pandemic. I'm just wondering... does it benefit anyone to destroy that unity with sudden and explosive disharmony?

I need to put on a tin foil hat for a moment ask the conspiracy theory question. Is it at all possible that the riots were intentionally started because the world was starting to display too much unity in the face of the pandemic?

Do you want to fix the US? 2 simple steps can go a long to doing that.

First: Make EVERY single elected office require patched uniforms with a patch for every name of every person or group that donated more than 5 grand to that person's campaign.

Second: Divert some taxpayer money, say 3% of the stupidly large military budget, to a neutral (has an equal number of reporters from each camp) news station that must be freely and readily available to all that can only take donations/run commercials on a "no strings attached" basis.

With these 2 simple steps, everyone would know who had bought the "elected" officials and everyone would have access to a news source they knew would give them more than one point of view.

what mobile apps do people use for mastadon? Please leave a comment with your suggestion and some of the features you think make it great.

@design_RG I'll check that out sometime.. but that's not quite what I meant lol. I mean that nothing feels satisfying right now. I've seen all the movies in my collection, read all the stories that interest me, played all the games in my collection, have no inspiration to write, that kinda thing.

That feeling when everything you do to distract yourself from the pandemic makes you want to do something else instead...

This needs to be required watching for every human being even without quarantine.

My current phones dies the moment I take it off the charger. It is absolutely time to upgrade. The question is, what to upgrade to?

None of these are 5G since It won't be available in my area until my upgrade after this probably.

Both of the Note 10s listed are the 256 GB interal storage versions, available for those prices from my service provider.

The Cosmo has a keyboard and can dual-boot between android and linux, but only has 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage.

The renewed Note 10+ is factory unlocked, snapdragon (not the crappy Exynos) and 512 GB internal storage and a 90 day return policy, see Amazon renewed terms etc for more info on that.

I have heard very few things about Amazon's "Renewed" products and certification... but they were all good. The reviews for the seller are mostly good... about 4.3/5 stars with over 160 reviews.

Thoughts, suggestions, ideas? Which would you pick?

If anyone out there is interested in the Elder Scrolls games (I play ESO myself) here's a video I found about one of my favorite cultures in the game.

Hello. I am LittleWytch and I am trying to reteach myself French. Do you have any recommendations?

Bonjour. Je suis LittleWytch et je suis en train de me reteach français. Avez-vous des recommandations?

@ssokolow LUL. Of course you're right. It was role and not version I was referring to but I don't care too much about my wording when I'm that tired lol. Did not know that about Unarchiver tho... thanks for that tip <3
