a literal child may not have the capacity to learn from the interaction, yet. maybe other people reading it will, though.

Funtoo is a bit of both. It's not as current as Gentoo but the tradeoff is not having to rebuild the toolchain every few weeks.

another tool is taxation. example: single use plastics are a bad thing and we don't need them in most of the ways they're used. taxing them will make them economically untenable and companies will look for alternatives.

your statement is highly dependent on where someone lives. I wonder what percent of people live within about ten minutes' walking distance from useful public transportation. I bet it's not 90% or even anywhere close. most people on Earth do live in cities now though, so maybe it's ~50%...?

right but if you keep participating in broken systems you'll just perpetuate them. gotta find ways out and take them... or make them.

that's not necessarily what it means. some things legitimately are easier to explain in person. ever try working out a complicated mathematical argument in an email? one can do it, but it's not pretty. in person you can write on paper, draw figures, etc., synchronously with your compatriot observing and even participating. it's not merely a change of medium from text to sound.

I don't read formality in these either, fwiw. in fact they're generally pretty casual.

ah, okay. so in your experience, it has never worked right with KDE on your computer.

am not personally experiencing the problem you describe, but: have you verified the strange behavior isn't somehow related to your kernel? most people aren't using linux-6.4.x yet. sometimes bugs or intentional changes that break userspace software are introduced. if you haven't done so: I'd test it with the kernel you were using when it last worked.

ultimately, you will need some kind of access to something with at least one port open, if you intend to host services on the clearnet. you could use tor if onion services will work for you. if you have ssh access somewhere with a port open (or a friendly sysadmin), you could tunnel to there and redirect incoming connections back through the tunnel. same thing with a VPN, if the sysadmin is really friendly.

but quantum stuff can tunnel through the cheese, despite its inability to be penetrated

I do as you, and run my own services for everything I use frequently except for email. keeping it all behind a vpn prevents unwanted access. I pay for protonmail but operate my own mail server for internal use. I have machinery to download messages from protonmail upon receipt and make them available to me, and to send through protonmail. so I'm doing both and using protonmail as the interface with outside servers.
