Password managers. People will use anything but that: paper, notes app (without any security), using the same password everywhere…

Did you just assume my distro?

For the record, I use Debian

People still use Ubuntu?

Or, as someone put it: we are brains piloting bone mechs with muscle armor

Isn’t it too early for another pandemic? Like, a century too early?

If only it were this easy to convince them

“Either you die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain”

What about the title that chatGPT refused to generate?

It’s mostly not your fault. Apps, games, and socials are intentionally designed to be addictive. That’s because the more time you spend on them, the more ad revenue the owners make.

If sheer willpower doesn’t work, find other ways around it. Someone else already suggested going to a library or another place, that’s good advice. Of you phone is an issue, you could turn it off and allow yourself to turn it back on after you’ve been productive for an hour, or after you have achieved a specific goal.

Don’t take the Bible too literally

If you manage to do it, please report what happens. I expect a lot of weird things, at the very least

ncdu: shows how much disk space is used by each directory, can also explore subdirectories and delete files

tig: interactive terminal UI for git with lots of functionality

Shit bubbles

This could also be done to the RAM filling up and/or high I/O activity of the disk. I suggest to investigate these possibilies as well

Microsoft: we don't do that here

A WM crash does not bring down all the other applications… but an X11 server crash definitely does!

In wayland they are the same program (a.k.a. the compositor). User applications can be designed to survive a compositor crash, though many are not able yet

Pen and paper first

And that's the beauty of it. Figuring it all out, until "hey wow, it finally worked"

As others have said, only word documents may give you annoyances.

I'd suggest trying it in a virtual machine first. See if you can do what you want to do. Switch to different distros if you need to. If/when you're convinced, make a proper installation.

Depends on what you expect them to do exactly. Today's transistors aren't much different than older ones, just smaller mainly. People of, say, 20-30 years ago may have the technology to inspect them (electron microscope or something like that), and the knowledge to understand them, but not the equipment to reproduce them.

If you go much farther back in time, say before integrated circuits (1960) or even transistors (1947) were invented, I think it's unlikely that someone could reverse engineer the thing
