Is it harming someone?

Who cares. Eat what you like. If it’s a pineapple burger, put it in… And let people eat what they want and like, as long as it is not harming others.

Sadly, though this is totally insane, it is by far, not the most insane happening in the US, right now…

I wasted a few hours, trying to make some flatpak apps do as I wanted, before I understood how flatpaks works, and why they are not always a good solution.

I use yWriter, Scrivener (not FOSS, but worth the little money it costs) and LibreOffice. I feel well prepared for any writing.

I’ve been using mega.nz and Google Drive. I’ve tried a few other solutions, but didn’t stick with them. Then I tried Proton Drive, and it works fine. But now I mostly use pCloud, because I got a good deal, for a lifetime 2TB, for one payment. This I use now…

If your computer can’t handle Linux Mint, then either you do something wrong, or your computer is really unstable. I won’t ask you to use Mint, but I will say, that I use it on three different computers, and not a single problem anywhere. Dual-boot is notoriously unstable - mostly due to MS… So my advice is, to use a computer for Linux by it self…

I have been dealing a lot in piracy. I don’t really do that anymore. I’ve switched to many free or fair software creators. I don’t mind paying for the software or games I use. I do mind paying for something, and then not owning it, and being tracked by it and just paying a lot, because the software producer has a kind of monopoly.

I support FOSS and others, with small donations. Like Mozilla, LibreOffice, Inkscape, Krita, Linux Mint and a lot of others.

I think you should pirate away on unethical companies. Do it for many of the reasons other mention in this thread, and do it because they are greedy and don’t respect you!

And yet companies in Israel is DNA testing people from all over the world, building a huge database of very private information about all people in the world…

I can’t see why it shouldn’t be. I have used it with touch screens. It works great. Remember that Android is linux too, and that really spurred the development in that area… :-)

Yes it did, and thanks for that. Not it works on high resolution screens. :-)

For a free app, you need to support it, to have it being worked on. A lot of people just say “yeah, it’s free!” and they don’t support it. I find that supporting free apps is a good investment. I give some, to NOT have to pay a lot to greedy companies who want me to sign up and pay monthly to use their apps.

I have never bought into it, so nothing to give up, really… This is just an affirmation as to why…
