[@foss](https://beehaw.org/c/foss) there was a Linux distro for writers but it appears to be dead. Anyone have links to similar distros for non technical writers? Read about the mentioned distro at [h by JoeTheSane in c/foss@beehaw.org

I was wondering how it saved files if it’s livecd only:

“At the moment, GhostWriter can save files only to a diskette. It can’t write them to to a hard drive or a USB drive. Admittedly, saving files to a floppy is easy. The desktop menu includes commands to mount and unmount a diskette drive. But many newer computers don’t come with floppy disk drives.”

This project seems like something someone made for themselves just to fuck around. I don’t know why anyone else would need this.

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? by JoeTheSane in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

New York City: Social Media Is a Public Health Threat by JoeTheSane in c/news@beehaw.org

The ultimate goal should be to find a safe middle. I have severe social anxiety which worsened during the pandemic, and social sites are a lifeline for me. If it wasn’t for Reddit (RIP), online games, and Discord, I’m pretty sure I would have driven my long-suffering wife crazy several times over. In fact, joining a local game store discord led me to actually going out and playing M:TG face-to-face for the first time in over a decade.

Like anything else, if used responsibly, social media can be a benefit.
