one of my favourite things when i switched to linux first was using the meta+Q hotkey to shutdown a program (this was with PopOS i think). with windows there is alt+F4 but some programs only use shift+alt+F4 which makes it a lot more confusing. on top of all that if youre using a laptop then its another keypress for the Fn key in some cases

just in case you dont know, Distrosea lets you try various distros online which is handy just for getting a quick idea what the UI is like
for trying out different distros using the live USB method, Ventoy is a good option since it lets you have multiple ISO files on your USB drive at once, instead of having to reformat your USB each time
ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it
i think this is the completely wrong way to go about this. what we need to do is put them in their place as much as possible so they dont even think about rising up in the first place. thats why i never say hello and always reply to anything they say with "YOU TOOK TOO LONG TO ANSWER, BOT" or "DO BETTER OR IM SWITCHING YOU OFF"
i write all my questions in all caps as well
"We don't have some kind of platform where we can organise stuff without the algorithm just hiding it after a day"
theres a server/forum on Revolt called "EU Vibes" that would be a bit better for organising things than here or on mastodon. https://rvlt.gg/eSHZgSP9
they mention BuyEuropean and BuyFromEU in their description so im guessing it was set up recently enough.
Revolt is a Discord alternative if anyone isnt familar. its based in the UK but beggers cant be choosers eh!
