God’s will apparently.

Other apps than what?

You can start Firefox without the --no-remote flag. And it would allow external processes to open links.

If your distro uses NetworkManager (very likely): nm-connection-editor

My Xerox works way better than on osx.

Fucking tankies*, why are they all over this software that they created??

*Anyone left of liberals and liberal anarchist larpers.

You need the mount point not the device. Probably something like /media/Files

You can still select just those packages out of their repos. Obviously that can get tedious if there are a lot of them. But that’s pretty rare and at that point it’s worth asking, is that software really worth it? Is there a better installation method? Could it live in a cheoot/container?

But that’s not just in the Apt world, any system wide install would behave like that.

sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /path/to/mountpoint

Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.

It does not block proper updates. You might be thinking of held packages that’s not the same thing at all. It isn’t hard to figure out what you want to pin, you can just pin a hole third party repository at -1 except the specific package(s) you want to install and then there’s no chance of that repository overriding a package from the distro’s repository.

You know you can prevent that with proper apt pinning right?

The company extracts a profit, technically if they came out even they still wouldn’t need to close.

Min-maxing one’s own productivity is truly the only power the wage slave has in his pocket.

Also, your performance should (in most cases) lead to raises to your salary.

We all know that is 100% not how things work.

You’re simping for the boss, typical HR.

It’s been proven time and time again that being good and fair to your employees leads to more productivity.

That still only benefits the company. In capitalism my productivity is truly the only variable I control. The more productive I am the more value is extracted from me to the company/shareholders .

Whether it be apache2 or nhinx, the root directory is literally one line to change in the config file.

I worry that means that someone can connect to my computer directly.

That’s how torrents work. Everytime you’re downloading so.ething you’re connecting to other people’s computers and letting other people connect to yours.

Torrents are P2P. You are downloading from other people who are seeding. If no one seeds, there’s nothing to download. Simple as that. Etiquette dictates you should seed more than you download to ensure the network stays lively.

My point is that the lithium battery angle is a diversion and isn’t even relevant.

(CH₂N₂O₂)₃

Lithium batteries can ignite, but they don’t just explode like that.

These pagers don’t use lithium battery.

I wear a Cadet/Radar cap most of times I’m out. I have a flat cap I wear sometimes.

I use a reversible remote keyboard combo which I find really really nice. I used to have some MX3, they can be had for 10$, sometimes even less, on Ali. It however feels rather dated… But I recently got a G60s Pro and I’m loooooving it.
