Thankful for the ability to block an entire community

That’s interesting. Learn something new every day. Thanks

Ah, yeah I normally would only need to do that in the context of signing a contract, which I do using Gimp or Photoshop.

Have you tried these? https://www.lifewire.com/best-free-pdf-editors-4147622

Depends on the platform I’m on. There are so many options. SumatraPDF on windows, whatever default app pop os has, preview on Mac, builtin android PDF viewer. I assume you’re on windows because you mentioned acrobat. There are several options beside sumatra. I think many are decent.

Png is not always lossless. It also supports compression. But your point stands, it’s not the best compression

Why would you use acrobat? I haven’t used it in many years and use PDFs all the time

They’re simply trying to express what an extremely weird and disgusting person they are

I’ve yet to see anything but posts about this issue, so I’m confused by comments like this. I’m a daily user some days heavily and have been for a couple months.

That was my reaction too. People do but I’m not sure I understand. One thing, you could be much more easily on the hook for any copyright issue even if accidental. Also you’re paying for a new service. I’d rather just occasionally do some local maintenance and pay the $2 a month extra to keep my machine running which I’d likely do anyhow.

I tried jellyfin before I decided to buy the Plex lifetime pass and it just flat out would not boot. The docker container kept failing and I tried various things to troubleshoot. Made me sad but I felt like it was time to finally commit to Plex after using it for like 8 years…

Yeah and it was banned for being heavily used by awful criminals. Probably not a big deal to switch hosts even if you didn’t self host for some reason

Yeah too bad that I was on a host heavily associated with CSAM /s

They’re aware of baiting clicks

I’m surprised there even exist 600 communities…

It just feels more solid. I like connect but it has rough edges that I don’t see in boost

Swiping gestures are generally annoying imo. I also find them a lot more prone to accidents

Boost is definitely a little better than connect. It also just has a feeling of being a little more solid and I can’t even say specifically why. That’s worth considering for me

This is a good point. Would the version numbers displayed from apt list --installed be what I’m looking for?

As it happens I do keep a git repo that keeps a log of that information. I see that after reinstall, linux-image-* and linux-headers-* packages have the same actual version numbers but there are some other values in that same listing that have changed a bit. Some look like git commit hashes. I dunno.

I did start with a different, updated Pop!_OS image this time. I’ve considered wiping again using the older image which I still have. I figured that using the new one would be best and just avoid the need for a few GB of updates but looking at the diff of the installed packages (and looking at differences in how I was able to resolve some random issues, for example previously I had pulse installed for audio stuff, now I do not, it’s a different app), it seems like a lot of the OS internals are rather different…

On pop_os I had great success with proton until I had to wipe my os and reload. Before, most of my games worked well. Cyberpunk 2077 actually ran faster than on Windows. After the wipe, I literally cannot get a single game to run and I really don’t feel like troubleshooting so I keep returning to windows. I hate it. And yes, I have an Nvidia card and have tried several driver versions

Most people don’t know the ins and outs of how these federated systems work, like you do

I don’t think you at all need to understand federation other than it means you can join from multiple places and that typically they mostly all talk so just pick a medium to popular one.

I still don’t really understand exactly how federation works and I don’t think it hinders me at all to not understand it.
