Personally, I use pacman when possible and flatpak when it's not. I try to avoid the aur as I have had too many problems with missing dependencies or version conflicts. Plus, I don't generally need things that are not in the repositories so it rarely comes up.

"But flatpaks are not lean!" While this is true, I find flatpaks don't break my system. Flatpaks do use more resources, from storage to RAM, but I have plenty of both so it's not really a concern.

No, the treasury fingered China. I knew a girl named China once and that tracks. Still not sure how mum was involved though.

Anyone who can't make money with a casino is completely inept.

I also considered this. My thought was to outline a few reasons, with receipts, as to why I have left Reddit. I would also mention Lemmy as an alternative.

Yeah. I was thinking I would have to do this manually.

This is probably true. Also, I think I would have to do this manually and I am lazy so there is that.

It is not legal to charge a different price at the register. Also, it would be quite difficult to ensure the price you pay at the register matches the price you saw on the shelf ten minutes ago.

100% agree.

I'm 50 years old and I am the IT guy for people of all ages. Not because I am part of some gifted generation that understands computers, but because I have a genuine interest and took the time to learn these things.

My 16yo son also has a keen interest in computers and I am passing on my knowledge where I can.

I somewhat feel that attributing computer knowledge to a generational thing in some way diminishes the effort and time it took to get the knowledge and experience that I do have.

You don't have to have hung around with Henry Ford to be a car guy, or Nikola Tesla to be an electrician.

For day to day use I generally grab anything that I am interested in and leave it seeding indefinitely, or until I need to prune to free up some space.

If I need to boost ratio I grab something that is new and hot to seed for a bit. In general though, I try to seed things that have lower seeder counts so that they remain available. Many times these are not things that I am really interested in.

If you are not using any private trackers then I suggest you get on one and just be active. If there is a particular thing you are interested in then there is probably a tracker for it.

I also seed Linux ISOs but those are public so it doesn't help when it comes to ratio or anything. It's just a thing that I do because I can.

I recently watched Twisted Metal and it was pretty darn good. Who doesn't love cars with guns?

That is a good way to explain it. Well done.

Already taken down. I tried to grab a copy but wasn't fast enough.
