And what was she doing with it? /s

Rainjackets are easy, just any unbreathable plastic works well if it has the zippers well treated. I bought mine at the fan shop from the football club in the city I migrated to. And it's been keeping me dry on the bike for the last couple of years. Just bought the regenpants and good to go ;)

We can't recommend Arch to beginners. The maintenance is too high.

But yes, the support on rolling distros is great.

In any case, I'm surprised all the issues OP gets are from support for a fan? Something is terribly wrong here. I'd rather switch to any other fan (they're cheap!) and blame the manufacturer. Move along.

For windows9x UI there are retro themes (e.g. xfce4 as DE can be themed with https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 ). For a distro, try zorin os maybe? Is focused on giving a modern windows-like UI and feel. In any case, my recommendation goes to debian or mint.

Desktop environments are tightly coupled to distros. At work, I got ubuntu. Got root, installed kde plasma. It works, but only because ubuntu is huge and has a "meta package", and if you're experienced enough not to switch the login to sddm, is all good. But even so, this goes to show that even if you can build your own system by swapping parts, this doesn't mean is simple. Most linux users simply take a distro and don't wander too far from it...

Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).

I tend to read comments here, and many times skip the linked content if nothing really draws my attention. Skipping a summary is a missed opportunity if you want me (or others like myself) engaging with the content.

They were cutting files in smaller parts and spreading over multiple locations and countries. At least that was the claim in the early days, so anything illegal would require lawyers on many jurisdictions sending the same letter (e.g. DMCA takedown)

Ironically, it did work but now that Durov is in jail channel admins would do good to take precautions.

Oh.. I just saw your point. I'm comparing to Android (LineageOS) when it should be to iOS... void

Well, then this news are just sad.

I'm absolutely with you on point 5. As for the rest, I will have to admit that I may have said some things plain wrong. I'm just trying to drive the point that it's not inmoral and people should be happy anyway. Perhaps in 10 years this is the OS we are all using on our desktops, phones, and wearables. It would be a pity that's not GPL and it has ads, sure (like maybe Android on x-brand flagship mew phone). But we could then have the LineageOS version of this. And I'd be happy. My poiny being, if that happens (it turns out to be the biggest OS), it will be thanks to its license, allowing it to be a thing for both people, and companies.

We can't really know if BSD "lost" a sell to Sony. Right? I ask sincerely, maybe there's more to the case you cited.

From my naïve view, this new project can win new associated companies and get some income to pay new devs when some maturity is achieved on this framework since it's quite innovative and those companies can really participate whereas with a GPL they would just be left out.

I only mean to say that we might be discussing if the glass is half empty or half full. That's why I'm trying to put into this new perspective (like considering GrapheneOS as an example. In the long run, the license might not be that much of a hurdle. At least let's hope that's the case since they probably won't change to GPL.

Linux made huge strides in the last years. But if we go back 10 years, or 15 things were quite bleak. And there are many reasons to that. It's license is one. That's my point. Correct or not, okay.

And Linux never embraced GPLv3 for reasons that are in common probably as to why this project chose a permissive license. So, I think we should all support them in that regard.
