I use yWriter, Scrivener (not FOSS, but worth the little money it costs) and LibreOffice. I feel well prepared for any writing.

I’ve been using mega.nz and Google Drive. I’ve tried a few other solutions, but didn’t stick with them. Then I tried Proton Drive, and it works fine. But now I mostly use pCloud, because I got a good deal, for a lifetime 2TB, for one payment. This I use now…

If your computer can’t handle Linux Mint, then either you do something wrong, or your computer is really unstable. I won’t ask you to use Mint, but I will say, that I use it on three different computers, and not a single problem anywhere. Dual-boot is notoriously unstable - mostly due to MS… So my advice is, to use a computer for Linux by it self…

I have been dealing a lot in piracy. I don’t really do that anymore. I’ve switched to many free or fair software creators. I don’t mind paying for the software or games I use. I do mind paying for something, and then not owning it, and being tracked by it and just paying a lot, because the software producer has a kind of monopoly.

I support FOSS and others, with small donations. Like Mozilla, LibreOffice, Inkscape, Krita, Linux Mint and a lot of others.

I think you should pirate away on unethical companies. Do it for many of the reasons other mention in this thread, and do it because they are greedy and don’t respect you!

I’m saying, that to people around the world, this is the reaction. If you don’t get, that people simplify and blame all jews for this, then feel free to ignore it. But just because you are prejudiced, then you shouldn’t judge others to be so, without talking to them first!

This is crazy. Please stop being so touchy! It is right for people to be mad a jews, when they condone the genocide that Israel is committing. So what are you, if you (like you do) sit here, and say that people can’t be angry when someone is actually committing genocide, or condones it? Take a hard look in the mirror! What are you, when you defend the murder on more than 20.000 kids, starvation used as a weapon, and all the other atrocities that Israel is committing right now?

I don’t loathe jews in general, but I do loathe all that supports what the state of Israel is doing, Just like I don’t hate US citizens in general, but everyone supporting Trump and Musk, and keeping them in power to hurt millions of people.

Try to see the nuances, instead of being black and white, when you read something, and then relax your trigger finger.

And yet companies in Israel is DNA testing people from all over the world, building a huge database of very private information about all people in the world…

No it wasn’t. Had I written that it “should” turn people against them, it might have been antisemitic - but you still forget, that Palestinians are a semitic people too. Please get to know the terms you use. Especially when you punish people for your own lack of comprehension.

Here’s a helping hand!

So, please elaborate. You call what I wrote antisemitism (you do know that everyone living in that area, is semites, right? That’s both Palestinians and Isralis, and people of every faith, right? So “antisemitism” doesn’t make sense here…

But please, what did I write that was antisemitic?

Nowhere did I write that antisemitism would help, so please stop using a straw man argument!

It’s crazy that the descendants of victims from Hitlers time, now has become nazis themselves. This will and have turned millions against Jewish people worldwide… Rightly so!

I can’t see why it shouldn’t be. I have used it with touch screens. It works great. Remember that Android is linux too, and that really spurred the development in that area… :-)

Yes it did, and thanks for that. Not it works on high resolution screens. :-)

For a free app, you need to support it, to have it being worked on. A lot of people just say “yeah, it’s free!” and they don’t support it. I find that supporting free apps is a good investment. I give some, to NOT have to pay a lot to greedy companies who want me to sign up and pay monthly to use their apps.

I have never bought into it, so nothing to give up, really… This is just an affirmation as to why…

I think it was about year 2000 +/- I was about 23 yrs old… I’ve tried a most of the big distros, and was using Ubuntu for the longest time. Now it’s Mint I use…

It does… https://logosbynick.com/inkscape-shape-builder/

This would only make sense, if all people were baking with the exact same ingredients, in the exact same environment, with the exact same equipment. You know, like in a factory.

For households and the like, it makes sense to have a bit of variation, until you find the way that makes it perfect for you.

Every current politician in the world should be made to wear a badge, as long as they hold office, that says: “I stayed silent under the Genocide in Gaza!”

I’d recommend using Make MKV if possible, and then you might use Handbrake to transcode it.
