Me too, I've had YouTube premium since it was called YouTube Red and I was still in middle school lol.

Nothing wrong with a crime currency, easier to get safe drugs.

Understandable, I don't know of anyone off of Twitter but maybe some of the people I follow are on Mastodon. I'll try and find out sometime and get back if they are.

And yea pretty much, just stands for open source intelligence, people just use publicly available data (mostly drone videos, and paid satellite imagery) to analyze progress from both parties in the conflict giving a real, semi live perspective on advances on the ground, what kind of equipment and quantity of that equipment that have been destroyed.

This site by oryx is the main one I know of that tracks destroyed Russian equipment that's confirmed through imagery, so the numbers are likely fairly lower than reality, and the destruction numbers are still staggering.

Ops I see someone below already linked oryx and some other good sources!

Sadly it will likely take more dystopian actions from state actors like this for monero or other crypto to actually become more popular and usable on a day to day basis.

Someday it'll happen though, and I can't wait.

I'm on Twitter because all the OSINT people who track the invasion/war in Ukraine basically only use Twitter. I like following OSINT info to get a real perspective on what's going on.

What video card do you have? All distros should work perfectly with AMD cards out of the box, while nvidia you will probably have to install the driver yourself. Nvidia driver support is continually getting better as time goes on though.

Blender, GIMP, and Krita will work out of the box with all distros. Not 100% sure on the tablet so you may wanna research a bit more on that front.

I tried Mint when I originally switched and wasn't a fan, I distro hopped a bit and stuck with Fedora when I tried it out. I use the gnome version of Fedora and originally installed some extensions to make it more windows like. After a few months I dropped those extensions and am pretty much in vanilla gnome now.

Also sorta unrelated but I also installed the new cosmic desktop environment recently (it's pre alpha right now) and use it instead of gnome, I like it more than gnome but it's pre alpha so hold off on that one probably.

The only issues I've experienced in recent memory with using Linux is Steam won't launch properly if I launch it using the steam icon, I have to open a terminal window and type 'steam'. That launches steam with the terminal, and I have to leave that terminal window open as long as I want steam open.

Whatever distro/de you end up going with will have a learning curve for sure but in my opinion it's really worth it. I truly think open source software should be the future, and I'm happy I took the leap myself. Good luck on your journey!

I switched over ~3 ish years ago and have never been happier. I recommend Fedora if you want any distro suggestions.

The shitty games released on steam are the outcome of it being relatively easy to publish a game on the steam, and that should absolutely not change. Let people publish their crap that nobody will play, you don't see the vast majority of it.

I will buy 4k blue rays of movies I like but if that isn't available, eat ass and get fucked I'll steal your shit and you get nothing.

I had a co worker a few months ago say they needed to head home to their second job after work, curious I Inquired further and it turns out he has just been busting out ~40 hours a week of destiny 2 for a few months now while also working 40 hours a week at our job.

To be fair we work from home 2 days a week so I'm sure he had some cross over work/destiny time.

Apple is just sorta gross in general, Tim's just the icing on top.

also SaaS is cancerous shit
