I got tennis shoes older than you, (literally a pair of original Converse I bought new back in the 1970s). I was there before the original chains of Unix, DOS, and finally Linux were foraged. I saw OS2 die in battle. And I saw the dark time of when paper and pencils and slide rules vanished from this earth.

The knowledge of apt-get and apt only matters to those warriors of the Cli when they wield the sword of sudo to vanquish the evils that exist when upgrading. For they do the bidding of the dark wizards of Dev, holders of the command su.

Now that I have demonstrated my age by showing everyone how senile I am. ‘apt install’ is aimed at users to give a nicer response to it’s use. It need not be backwards compatible either. ‘Apt-get install’ is older and is meant to be usable as a lower level command and to work with other APT based tools.

What does this mean for you today? Not a damn thing. I still always type: sudo apt-get install when using a deb based dsitro out of sheer habit. But it’s not needed the vast majority of the unwashed masses. So feel free to just type apt install to help prevent carpel finger nail.

One has to wonder if Recall just isn’t as profitable as they had hoped.

You have missed the point entirely. It’s not that complex problems can be solved by “one simple trick that conservatives hate.” It’s that the complexity of the problem often prevents the left from even taking the first step to any solution.

Solving complex problems often requires multiple steps towards to mitigation. But, one needs to take that first step. And there needs to be dirt under those fingernails at the end of the day as a reminder of the work actually done.

I’m thinking 3/4oz #8 birdshot is the zeroday attack.

But it does work in an electrically challenged environment when the latency of the internet is infinite. But it can be hacked by 3/4oz #8 birdshot.

Like most prepper things for sale, this is a better product to skin money from the ignorant and the unreasonably fearful than it is truly useful. It assumes you have electricity and the functioning equipment to access it.

In a real prepper situation, you either already ready have the knowledge in your head, (the best method), or you have real books and pamphlets to read, (slow to access).

Remember Kiddies, if a real SHTF gets here, there not only won’t be no google or youtube, but there won’t be much time to use it anyway. Survival is a real time sink. And most living in the big cities will simply die in place anyway.

It’s supposed to be in the US also.

There is a lot of potential here. I have little doubt the printer and slicer algorithm will make it’s way to mainstream printing at some point.

First you live in rural Mississippi, now you live less than 75 miles from the Canadian border? Should I call you an asshole ignorant troll?

With the apparent rise of immutable spins, it might get to be even less since user space is separate the OS space. I’m trying Aurora on my laptop to see if there is any advantage to running an immutable spin over the standard distros. I’m kind of torn about it right now, there are some advantages to both and some downsides to both.

Having used LibreOffice and OnlyOffice, I find that if you need a full office suite, (and fortunately I don’t anymore), LibreOffice has more ‘stuff’ in it and perhaps a bit better comparability with Microsoft 365 than OnlyOffice. Still, I had no real beef with OnlyOffice. It’s a somewhat lighter on space the LibreOffice for sure.

Thankfully, all I really need anymore is AbbiWord and Gnumeric for my now simple and infrequent needs. Soooo much faster and lighter than a full office suite.

The numbers are still non-zero across the northern US. Needing a passport to shop at Walmart should be at least a hint that I’m over 1000 miles away from you. And I should probably be happy that I’m not as representative as you I suppose. In any case, enjoy your “rural” life.

Me, I’mma waiting for iceout on the lake and for the frost danger to go away, (about another 4 weeks), so I can get my garden in again.

And the left is often paralyzed by the “complexity” of a solution and offers little no refuge for those in need. Sadly making those half baked ignorant simple solutions the only thing offered.

Good for you. Where I live, there is still no cell service, (got to be in a town for that), and the US Postal Service will not deliver mail to my home, (I need to pay $165 a year to get a postal box in town to get my mail and I need to drive to get it). I do have internet most of the time, but that and the electricity can be sketchy in a storm, the hazards of living in a forest. So if I can’t access that, Oh well, been there before. And I have lived many years without it. Like I said, we will just do without. Oh, and the nearest Walmart is in another country, Canada. I need an enhanced driver’s license or passport to shop there. So I ain’t missing much there either. The nearest hospital, (level 3, the “barely a hospital” level) is 50 miles away and the nearest ambulance is 20 miles away-- you have a heart attack, you will probably die before help gets there.

There is wannabe rural like you and then there is rural.

Yeah, Orca has issues with Fedora. The appImages often fail in particular. But I do have it running on Fedora Cinnamon 42 and Aurora 42, (spin off of Kinninite 42) with the flatpack from the GitHub.

The difference is we are used to it. You are not.

As one of those more rural Americans-- we’ve always lived that life of not being able to get those things the rest of you take for granted. Whether it’s tofu, cell phone service, or healthcare. So my life will continue with little disruption.

I recommend installing the open light and open dark theme for a better user experience in FreeCAD. Everything seems a bit clear and easier to use, YMMV

I never like the glue line though.

Now there you go! Bibles can be big enough to hide a small mortar and perfect insurance the no maga-ass would touch for fear of burning at the touch.
