I'm 42, dude. Limited mental energy. I would gladly be part of your server, though ;)

That is way over my head as I am genuinely a non technical user. I tried many times to have a statistic page and every time I failed. It may be hard to believe but some things that are trivial for hackers are not trivial for most people. For years, my domain name was going to waste. So my choice was between having a webpage on someone's server or none at all. If a professional programmer wish to dedicate their very valuable time to make a static page for me for free, I'm all ears :) Until then, Bear Blog seems rather reasonable.

I would never self host anything myself, as I don't know how. But there's a response to that question on the project's GitHub: https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/?tab=readme-ov-file#can-bear-blog-be-self-hosted

That was a a fairly short article reporting on another article. The title gives the impression that the assertion was made with certainty when the actual quote makes it clear that this was meant as speculation, a calculated guess made on a conversation that was not meant to be public. I truly have no inclination to defend corporate leadership, but perhaps it would be more productive to direct our sentiments towards the article that is being quoted instead.

Well, that is not a new phenomenon.

For years I was the only one in my family that didn't wear glasses. When the doctor told me I needed glasses, I was so happy. I found glasses distinct, elegant, and, in girls, very very cute (my wife just started wearing glasses... wowza!).

My "real" me, the one I like and recognize in the mirror, has glasses on. And it's not one of those glasses that pretend they're not even there -- it's a thick black frame that dominates and complements my face.

I could totally get away with not wearing glasses in some situations, but (1) I like the visual comfort, and (2) I love wearing glasses.

Get the glasses that make you feel like yourself.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but hey, I'm happy for you!

It just seems obvious to me that there are interesting distinctions between LGBT relationships and non-LGBT relationships. I get that just by listening to what gay friends tell me about it. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving any more detail, an LGBT person would be in better position to respond.

Maybe not more messy, but messy in a way that is particular and interesting to explore.

I hate to advertise Reddit, but the people at /r/tipofmytongue are crazy good at this kind of stuff.

I use Linux currently and have for many years. It is a wonderful operating system. However, if you wish to switch to Linux, it is in your best interest to understand that enthusiasts will oversell whatever they love, and they will do so without even noticing it.

Gaming on Linux is impressive and it's getting better every day, but it is still not the same as Windows.

Depending on the games you wish to play, you may feel frustrated at times. Also, barely any peripherals have official Linux support on a software level. I'm talking about fancy keyboards, mice, gamepads, cameras, microphones, headphones, and all kinds of RGB contraptions.

If something doesn't work, the next recommended steps can range from installing a complicated third-party interface to essentially programming your own. If I read the word "kernel" as part of a solution, chances are that I'm just buying something else instead.

People also forget that even supported games sometimes malfunction, and all tips and fixes will assume you're running Windows. Besides, not every game is on Steam, and even when they are, some may require the use of external software to install and manage mods. So using Linux for games is awesome, but significantly less so if you are not an advanced user and want more than the defaults for your games.

When it comes to work, you might find yourself restricted to LibreOffice or Microsoft Office Online. It is possible to run Office via Wine, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea (more on that here). A bit off-topic, but I've been trying to purchase a legit license for local Microsoft Office and I don't think they even sell it anymore. They're completely focused on the cloud version.

I don't know what you mean. That is just common practice in websites like this because of copyright law. If the law changes, the practice will probably change as well.
