What's a better alternative for a CPU

Canada please!

Looks as if Visa Debit has about the same and slightly less fees than Visa Credit Cards.

Looks like buying physical gift cards is the way to go...

I love this, but it seems we only have GOG.

And yes, Steam takes a hefty 30% profits per game. Plus credit cards with their ~2%.

Legit, nice.

Everything is on Qobuz for me. Bandcamp, not so much. But Bandcamp also has music you can't find on streaming services.

If you buy your music, say on Bandcamp Friday where Bandcamp waves their revenue, you could host your own streaming server, and eventually cancel your Spotify membership.

There is also Qobuz as an alternative which pays the artist $. 01873 per stream, as opposed to Spotify's $0.003 per stream. About 5x more. Plus you can buy the music from the platform if you want. And it has higher quality audio, family plans, gift cards.

But they're much cheaper on fees than non-debit MasterCard and Visas?

How well are Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit as an alternative for paying online?

This reply within this thread helped me with this other machine. I'm back up and running well again. https://lemmy.ca/post/48538362/17944139

I'm guessing SystemD wasn't broken on this one like the other one.

Thanks @take6056@feddit.nl

This just happened on another one of my computers with BTRFS. I didn't run pacman or manually run any other installations or updates. This is on a vanilla ArchLinux machine I've installed KDE using archinstall a few months ago. I use this machine often and its the first time it happened on this machine. Perhaps Discovery or Flatpak ran an update in the background. I'm not aware of automatic updates being enabled though.

I have a problem when my computer where when I put it in sleep, or press the power bottom once, it automatically turns back on after sleeping / shutting down. I get frustrated with this sometimes and force shutdown my computer, either by holding the power button or pulling the cable. I know I shouldn't do this. Turning on my monitor, going into the UI, safely shutting down my computer can become very time consuming on my busy schedule. Its rare it happens, but life happens and I sometimes don't have time to wait a minute for my computer.

May I note when going through archinstall and choosing a filesystem, do we want BTRFS or EXT4 to be shown as the default option? Currently BTFS is shown. And there is no way these errors are happening this easy for me, and not across the board.

The backup time machine aspect as BTFS is what drawn me. Except now I strongly agree with @CrankyRebel to stay away from BTRFS, at least for personal out-of-the-box Desktop filesystems.
