I wonder why I don’t pay for Lemmy.

These days, things have greatly improved.

Websites will never change their URLs today.

My RSS reader (Newsblur) lets me do that too, to some extent.

• Stopped using reddit, went here instead.
• Intensified my Mastodon usage, winding down my Twitter activity.
• Started using my own mail server for more than just a few tests.
• Changed search engines a few times (I’ll probably stick with Kagi now).
• Reduced my subscriptions and cleaned up my RSS feeds.
• Stopped doomscrolling (I subscribed to a weekly paper newspaper instead).
• Started using Ulysses for writing. Works very well.

I do.

Good. Vapers look like clowns with a flute.

I probably said “Windows” once too often (= once).

Linux is probably not the wisest choice for gaming - that would still be Windows. Anyway, the distribution does not matter that much. You can install most Linux and cross-platform software on most distributions. Do not choose your system because of what comes as the default desktop, default package set et cetera. Try a few ones. Read some reviews.

nvi, I guess.

WordPerfect is still quite awesome, given that it has Reveal Codes. However, the older I am, the more I grow to like WordStar (and its free clone).

Mostly, mg.

I did. TinyMCE is still less comfy to use in my opinion. Of course, that’s probably a matter of taste. Also, I wonder when Automattic will stop supporting it.

How would a hacker even notice the difference between a Linux server and.a Linux desktop? Those are the same thing.

Gee, I wonder whether it’s possible to have zero-day exploits on Linux and 7-Zip.

It depends. The RAR5 format used by newer WinRAR versions (the “old” one is still supported just well) can have smaller archives than 7z, but the opposite is also true. Still, yes, WinRAR is in my experience faster and more stable.

(Note that “as small as possible” is not usually the most relevant point. The best compression is currently reached with the ZPAQ format, but using it with maximum compression settings is painfully slow.)

I even own legitimate Total Commander and mIRC licenses!

Also true. I was probably too impatient when I bought a WinRAR license over night. But now I have it and I use it. :-)

I have. The point is that there is no software without vulnerabilities.

It is. Coincidentally, security was one of the reasons to uninstall 7-Zip.
