when you fuck shit up you can’t really easily boot in from a usb drive and learn the recovery process

i personally wouldn’t recommend encrypted drive for a beginner though

you can also think of it as a series of pipes

doesn’t the us have like hundreds of gun deaths every day

isn’t this meme format used to mock people in patrick’s position?

matrix works pretty well as a discord replacement, it’s sometimes unreliable when you’re using a selfhosted instance but I’d wager it’d work smooth enough for a non techie if you turn off end to end encryption

omfg this is exactly how limits on social media should be approached, NOT through restrictive enforcement

what’s the ASHA protocol? I doubt other distros would support it if mint (basically Ubuntu) doesn’t support it
