This is the nicest way someone's put it. I've tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I'm going to have to figure out as I can't get W11 on it.

I want to do it so bad!.... but I think I'll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

I'm a teacher. I'm looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They're now at a really fun age and I can't wait

I use this on my Chromecast. It's far prettier than the monstrosity that is that Google Chromecast home screen

4 years ago next week marks my mom's diagnosis and the 10 months that followed. Watching your loved ones go slowly insane and become unable to speak and move in such a short time (she was mid 50s) when they should be healthy changes you. Everything I look at, everything I think about is now looked at under a different lense. And given my age, there just aren't a lot of people around me who have any idea what it's like and assume it's just handling the pain.

Like... no. I'm different now.

Before the reddit api, I used to read around 24-28 books a year depending on length (Sanderson's tomes will always change that number because it's like reading 2 or 3 regular books)

Last year I hit 35. I didn't really read books over 1000 pages much last year but I definitely know I'm reaching for a book when I would normally doomscroll reddit.

Thank you. I am seriously considering this instead as I think I minimum spend around $40usd buying 4tb blocks on sale. If I forget to grab during a sale, that bumps to $45 per tb

Thank you taking the time to respond with such a detailed response. I wasn't too worried about it as I don't do my shady stuff on mobile but figured it was worth the ask.

Other than a couple of bad faith actors here and there, I've found this community to be super tolerant and helpful - thanks!

I didn't put anything in. But I went there (on mobile). Any real risk?

I'm kinda over this conversation. I posted asking for input, not someone being argumentative. If you had a stronger argument, maybe I'd change my ways and look into what you're saying. I politely tried to say I hear you, but I'm good with what I do and you keep digging. At no point have you said anything that makes a strong case, helpful to what I asked or isn't dismissive. Have a good night

I imagine it must be nice living in a place where your government doesn't care. Enjoy your free torrents. I'm ok with a few bucks here and there
