Like, the 2012 model? That should work. Xubuntu would run nicely.

Recommendation: you can get a decent used laptop from eBay or Craigslist and install mint on it. Cost would be under $200.

It absolutely is, and I hope people will open their eyes and vote socialist as hard as possible.

As I understand it, the issue is that tmux invents its own terminal emulator functionality that conflicts with the existing terminal it runs within, while screen simply defers scroll functionality to the terminal emulator.

ulimit can also be used to define limits, but for a user rather than a process. This could protect you against, ie, a fork bomb

systemd-run lets you run a command under some limitations, ie

systemd-run --scope -p MemoryLimit=1000M -p CPUQuota=20% ./heavyduty.sh

Scrolling in screen is superior to tmux imo

Chromebooks have a special bios, it works with a chip on the motherboard to detect if chromeos is running or if some unverified os is running. If chromeos isn’t running, it displays a warning message on boot. This behavior cannot be disabled.

You can; however it will always show a message that leaves you a keypress away from nuking your system on boot

I still use Firefox; their bullshit is less egregious than Chrome’s and they are Chrome’s only challenger. The ai features don’t even come in to play unless you actually choose to use them.

This tracks; aws offers Ubuntu workspaces for their managed directory service since a couple years ago

This is very flawed. Israel, USA, and UAE deserve to be at the bottom of the list because they facilitate genocide, and USA is responsible for hundreds of millions of murders globally.

Huh, I mostly use apvlv and mupdf. They are command line binaries but they have a gui; I don’t really see a point in looking at a PDF with something other than a gui.

I’m guessing the connection is that song by ace of base, “all that she wants is another baby”.

I haven’t tried fedora in a few years, but every time I have tried it, the installer failed in some way.

Opensuse tumbleweed, kubuntu. Both solid options for you. Bear in mind bazzite is an immutable distro and as such, it is not very customizable.

You need to update yt-dlp, ie:

pip3 install -U yt-dlp

But first you probably need to install an updated python version; the latest yt-dlp needs at least python 3.10 iirc

God dammit the DNC pisses me off. Why can’t they act like human beings for just five fucking minutes.

The 1907 comic strip Little Nemo: Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend was about a little kid who ate cheese on toast before bed having vivid and strange dreams

Practically speaking all open source software is communist, insofar as the capital, which in the case of software would be the source code and the means to build and deploy it, is available to anyone with the wherewithal to use it.
