If you have Kerbal Space Program installed, delete it right fucking now. It collects every piece of info it can about you and sells it to third parties. It collects far more than even most other pieces of spyware do. They quite literally know where you live, your phone number, what you look like, all your social medias, every game you have on steam, how much you've payed for them, and more. They quite literally know more about you than you do. I'm only bringing this to your attention so I have an excuse to post this iron that will not have an effect on the sharty's wellbeing whatsoever.

https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/ksp has more info on this than I could be bothered to tell you, go and give it a read or you VVILL get 'oxxed by your video game.

it has been demonstrated in the case of xlibre, as it has for many other distros
i think linux is a little broken as a whole really
there are many questionable decisions and practices
but we make do with what we have
the distros i would actually go near for my purposes would be gentoo and artix, maybe void
artix is good for just getting stuff up and running
gentoo is better for security
you can always make your own linux distro and manage things however you want but at that point you might be better off switching to one of the bsd derivatives. at some point, writing your own os kernel and after that designing everything from scratch yourself
but then, the isolation becomes a problem without adoption

Whats your favorite text editor Chud 07/28/26 (Tue) 16:26:38 №35477 [Reply]

I personally like ed.
>Ed is the standard text editor.
Its really simple, no fuss, and isnt full of trannies like vim. On that note, ex and nvi/vi are good as well but they just have too many modes for me, anything over 2 personally just confuses me since im kinda stupid geg. Ed is perfect since its small, no fuss, fast, and edits text, which is all you could and should ever want from a text editor.

FLAC > MP3 Chud 07/25/26 (Sat) 19:43:37 №35236 [Reply]

FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s since 2016 (10 years ago), and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.

Linux users = Vegan Homos Chud 07/26/26 (Sun) 16:27:18 №35282 [Reply]

The funny thing is, as soon as you tell me (and quite proudly, I might add) that you primarily run Linux, I already know a ton about you. I know that you have no artistic ability – that you're not into full-stack or front-end dev (no photoshop), you're not a photographer (no lightroom), and you're not into video editing (no premiere). I know you're not a software entrepreneur, as you would have needed full-stack development for that. I know you're not into remote collaboration with Google Drive (and Dropbox support is being ended soon). I know you're not an iOS developer (no XCode), or mobile developer at all (which generally requires Photoshop). I know you haven't honed your UX/product sense. Even if you dual-boot, I know you're in pain and will probably lose a bunch of data one day and have no idea what happened. You see that? In your search for "freedom," you have boxed yourself in like a caged rat.
