Take care, thanks!

The Doctor@h3artbl33d @bob @jerry @[email protected] @saxnot @h @Shufei @hhardy01 @niconiconi @[email protected] I have done something very similar, granting them access to some parts of my exocortex. Whether or not they choose to use that access is a different matter entirely.
I am happy to pay for content - but I want to be sure it goes to the artists/creators/writers, instead of the pockets of labels, managers, marketeers and others desperately holding on to a model that serves no-one except their own pockets.
[Opinion] A part of me wants to embrace piracy - for many reasons, just not because i don't want to pay.
Β° Artists don't get paid what they deserve. Out of every sold album, a really small part goes to the artist - an insane high percentage ends up with the labels/managers.
Β° Netflix / Spotify are crap, content available now might be gone in a few weeks.
Β° DRM is a total privacy invasion.
Β° Etc
Yet, laws prohibit making a personal copy if it means that protections must be circumvented.
But having someone really care about you, on a deep/personal level, does so much good. Hope you all are experiencing that joy - or are going to experience it whenever you are ready for it.
Whoops - phone died prematurely. Anyway:
- When someone really listens, you'll notice. Personal example, switched to Signal, ditched FB/WA. Year later, she did the same bolt move, on her own.
- Follow up questions can be a good indictator. Told her about people I interact with. When I name Roman, she knows I am talking about Roman Zolotarev - "the great OpenBSD documenter".
- Even started stitching a Pluffy (pluche Puffy).
Ofcourse, it is key that these small investments come from both sides.
The last weeks, I have come to the conclusion that having a partner that really respects you - for the erson you are, makes a difference so big that words can hardly describe.
We don't agree on everything and both value the freedom to do our own things - instead of doing literally everything together.
Respect is also about listening. How much effect that can have, became clear:
ed(1) conference@h3artbl33d Until recently, it was Debian, but since the addition of systemd, it would be either the Debian-without-systemd "Devuan", or possibly slackware. I want a conservative cadence that doesn't break things, not a bleeding-edge distro.

πΈπππ©@h3artbl33d First of all I hate the mentality behind systemd (which is probably also against everything that Unix stands for, i.e. small programs that can be combined instead of one big one). Second, I get to chose what features I want of any given software I install from the repos. The USE-flags let me pick compile-options and I can have a global filter (e.g. for systemd). Finally, since I compile it all myself, it's optimized for my system/CPU and therefore faster and safer (no known binary).
