The actual answer to OP’s question is to look up cognitive biases, and to eventually realize that “black” isn’t the relevant descriptor here.

Like seriously and I’m not even intending to be racist
(Though some smarmy asshole will for sure post this unironically thinking that they’re not being racist.)
Google the concept of an escrow service.
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the security implications. Mounting with nosuid and nodev options can undermine rootkit or privileged escalation exploits.
The lower price of steam games, and the ability to get a refund for crap games is going to push me toward a deck vs. the next switch.
That actually is a good point. If it wasn’t for Zelda and Metroid specifically, it probably would be my choice. I’ve had my switch since before steam deck though.
Flatpak is itself a file manager.
That duplicate of your folder in /run is due to filesystem links (or more likely a fuse mount, I’ve never actually looked into how flatpak works). But either way, they aren’t copies of the data.
Free tier is super limited and super easy to accidentally break out of. I had a single file in S3, but because my logging settings were wrong, I broke the free tier with junk logs.
The t2 micro ec2 instances are fine, but you need to be very careful about their storage and network egress.
Best use I’ve had for AWS that has managed to stay within the free limits has been Lambda. Managed to convert a couple self hosted discord bots to a few Lambda functions, works great. Plugging it into CloudFormation and tying up CI/CD with CodePipeline and the like were overkill but good learning exp.
I don’t think there’s any ECS free tier, but you can fit a private container repository in the free S3 limits as well.
Don’t “declutter” manually. Use your package manager.
You’re going to want to look up things like symlinks, hard links, fuse filesystems, and bind mounts among other concepts. Your “whole directory” and other duplicates are artifacts of how the filesystem and process management works, and simply running fsearch or find over them is going to be confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking at.
One Unix concept that carries over to Linux is that everything is a file. Your shared memory space, process data, device driver interfaces, etc, all of it is accessible somewhere in the same virtual filesystem tree as the actual files.
Because of this, there’s very little reason to have the whole filesystem indexed from root. If you’re worried about space usage, you want to work with packages through the package manager. If you’re worried about system integrity, you’ll want package validators.
The above is accurate, and can be considered accurate for any directory below or at well.
Per /run, it’s also mounted in memory, so trying to “declutter” it won’t get you anywhere and things will return on reboot.
Man, I use my switch all the time. But I love little metroidvania and smaller indie and single player games. Any time I see something interesting on steam, I’ll buy it on the switch if available.
I’ve also been using it to replay older stuff. The first red dead, the Arkham trilogy, currently going through Nier: Automata again.
The focus on sales and deals and shit has been an attempt to compete with first Walmart and target, and then Amazon.
Used to be that department stores were where you went when you needed stuff. At one point, it was just where you went shopping for your general life. They tended to lower prices than boutiques through volume and you’d go to more specific, more expensive stores for more specific things.
Today, yeah. Why bother? You actually can find better clothes at Macy’s and Penny’s than Walmart, but you have to dig, and realize that the real Levi 501s are going to be $30 more than the modern Levi stretch fit trash. (And $30 less than buying them at the Levi store.)
I mean, you’ve got to realize that almost everywhere in the world, the idea that avoiding prosecution because you’re not profiting from IP infringement is a myth, which was my point there.
But fair enough, maybe you’re somewhere that won’t enforce copyright.
Sorry, I thought we were discussing my reply to the comment about (paraphrasing) “I’ve never feared a government, but corporations scare me.” Which is why I focused on that side of things.
I don’t think I said anything that doesn’t apply to non Americans, but ok.
I know I shouldn’t, but I’ll bite on this stupidity cause I can’t sleep and I’m bored.
Your whole post history is either apologetics and handwaving about gender roles, or coming off as you deserve a girlfriend but girls don’t like X. You need to drop the entire concept of women/men are better suited to roles, stop trying to apply population-wide statistics to individual people as if they’re RPG NPCs, and you need to realize that plenty of poor ugly short dudes have hot girlfriends because poor, short, and ugly are relative to the individual. Not the statistic.
Yeah see you’re missing the point, which is: While Government and corporate power are to be feared, your ISP is powerless without Government. You want to protect yourself from both.
The ISP will drop me.
Why? That’s losing them money. Seems stupid of them. Because the government forces them to on behalf of another company.
its only a crime
Government determines what a crime is.
that will go to court
The court is the application of government force, and the government is who will get the evidence that turns you from defendant to convict.
and win if I made money distributing copyrighted material.
Oh sweet summer child. I will never understand how that myth remains after the RIAA campaigns.
Besides, even if you win you lose. Lawyers are expensive.
You’re shifting your topics a bit from the relevance of search engines. You’ve gone from “Google is irrelevant it’s not 2010” to “Lemmy search is better for searching Lemmy.” Which, no argument there, I guess.
Function/class/variables are bricks, you stack those bricks together and you are a programmer.
I just hired a team to work on a bunch of Power platform stuff, and this “low/no-code” SaaS platform paradigm has made the mentality almost literal.
So… you’re afraid of the command that does the thing you’re trying to do?
