This is the best explanation of this type of content I have seen!! Totally makes sense!

😂 I also read this as Ron's voice!

Nah as much as i love doing stuff via terminal, I am extra paranoid specifically about writing to the wrong device and losing data; I prefer as many confirmations as possible that I'm writing to the correct drive, and graphical installers tend to give me just a few more reassurances. A few examples would be stuff like

• a graphical representation of partitions (the general layout of a drive tends to offer an easy 'fingerprint' in my mind; like the pattern of partitions help me confirm I'm looking at, say, a Debian install USB compared to a single-partition general purpose storage disk)
• icons for different types of devices, like an SD card, USB, or hard disk icon
• confirmation dialogues summarizing what device is targeted, and what all will be performed

I'm also the kind of person who stares at a written email worrying about every last nuance of my phrasing, so 🤷‍♂️😂 definitely a me problem, I think!

HL2 soundtrack? HELL Yeah

I checked their site and it looks like you can download the teamspeak server binary for free, even TS6 beta! Or did I miss something here?

Their site has a download page for the ts6 beta, client and server! There's even a Linux client!

Spacebar.chat (or github here) is meant to be a drop-in replacement with support for discord bots, but it has been super alpha the few times I've tried it. Haven't checked in for a few months though!

(Edit: yeah I just checked and spacebar is still very much a work in progress. Looks extremely promising though!! It seems there are devs posting updates on the main spacebar instance, which is cool)

Rocket.chat also has a self hostable option, but I don't recall that one being super great either.

This 100%. Calling is also super iffy in my experience (element / schildichat), and group calls are a non-starter, since it outsources them to a separate service, jitsi, embedded inside the element client.

What the FUCK.

I immediately went to settings and, I guess at some point I'd already given these swine my phone number? Went to remove it and I've greeted by this wonderful toast message=

God I wish something was fully suitable as an easy discord replacement 😭 spacebar seems rad if it wasn't super alpha. And as cool as element is, it just doesn't have the same low bar to entry that discord has (not to mention group calls are jank as hell, when they work, and there's no screen share yet tragically)....

Balenaetcher has, for me at least, failed to write to USBs for the last 3 years or so that I've tried to use it - meanwhile random iso writers from flatpak have been more reliable for me. Very obnoxious that so many iso related sites recommend it. Rufus kicks tons of ass, if for whatever reason you're still on windows.

Also on most distros I've tried, the disk utility has some sort of right click or context menu that gets you a 'restore disk image' button that works great as well.

Edit= I used Popsicle USB writer from flatpak on steam deck with no issue today! Made by system76 (makers of popOS) and found on flatpak. It is absolutely no frills, but works well enough to write an SD card image for a raspberry pi! 🙂

Yo if we're throwing around logical fallacies you might wanna consider this one= https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_hominem

There's been a whole chain of dialogue here without you substantiating your perspective on the topic at hand 👀

Recommend checking them out! Sorry, typo'd on my comment - the brand name is Boox!

I have hers all loaded up with a FOSS reader, f-droid (droid-ify), Nextcloud, Element messenger... The only thing I haven't put time into is custom launcher stuff - but the native launcher isn't half bad, if you ignore their attempts to coax you into their cloud subscription crap!
