Nah it has already been allocated to Orban’s private residence.

You can use Socks5 on top of your existing connection. Some don’t even require authentication, just being connected to your regular VPN is enough.

Always bind your torrent client to the VPN interface and use Socks5 if possible. I’ve been torrenting on Linux this way (albeit with a different provider) for the better half of my life and it hasn’t failed me once.

Probably, but I’m just familiar with Lemmy.

There is no point in making an effort to preserve relations with the US since their clown in chief will just tear down decades of relationships anyways after reading something on Twitter.

The Nvidia issue is overblown IMO. Yes, it used to be petty bad a couple of years ago with bugs and glitches all over the place, especially with Wayland. These days not so much. Just use the proprietary Nvidia drivers and you will have a solid experience. It’s honestly been over a year since I last had an issue that I could narrow down to Nvidia hardware.

Just make sure to read some reports from people with the same model of laptop. Laptops with very specific hardware can have compatibility issues.

It’s rock solid and the desktop is very close to what people coming from Windows would expect. It’s just a very good beginner distro, not necessarily something that more advanced users would choose.

Ironic, the fact that I hate change is the whole reason I ended up using Linux. I felt that Mint was closer to Windows 7 than 8.0 at the time.

On reddit yes, but on the fediverse it’s mostly the people running the servers.

This is a massive loss for the Fediverse.

Since you’re on KDE, plasma-systemmonitor should already be installed. It is the closest to the Windows task manager that you’re probably familiar with.

That’s a repacker, not a cracker.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced…

Then set up a script that migrates your subscription list to the new account

No need for that, you can export your subscriptions and settings on your profile page.

You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:

Futo is open source. It’s not FOSS though.

The positive aspects are that it’s highly customizable and supports a large number of language addons. The downside is that development is pretty much dead, the swipe feature not being very accurate and the autocorrect only working in English. There’s also a large amount of inconveniences and minor bugs that made it tedious to use in comparison to Futo.

I used AnySoft Keyboard until someone recommended Futo here on Lemmy. It’s been my daily driver for a couple of months now and I have to agree: It’s the best Open Source keyboard around, even if it’s technically still in alpha. It’s ridiculously good, even with languages other than English. It will nail German 20-character compound words first try and I haven’t seen any other keyboard do it this well.
