  • You are completely correct. There are so many exits before becoming a billionaire that any normal person would take.

    Once you have millions you can live comfortable. Tens of millions and you’re set for life, you can live in luxury without ever doing another day’s work.

    Hundreds of millions and you can buy anything you ever want or need. The only reason to continue accumulating money is because you get some fucked up pleasure from it.

    You can claim you “earned it” through “working hard” but it’s a pathetic assertion. The simple fact is money is only gained at the expense of others.



  • Yep, I’m with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

    Bluefin’s main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I’ve tried to get devcontainers working and they just don’t.


  • As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

    However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

    With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.



  • Schools are useless shit anyway you learn fuck all apart from how to speak, read, and argue and think

    But this is precisely a failure of education. We don’t pay teachers well so there’s no incentive for good ones to stay.

    Class sizes are too large so individuals can easily fall behind unnoticed. Or the opposite, talented kids get bored and aren’t challenged because the class can only move at the pace of the slowest individual.

    Too much of education is steeped in tradition and no attempts are made to make the syllabus relevant to the real world.

    Schooling isn’t tailored to the individual so you’re forced to learn the way your teacher dictates when an alternative approach may suit you better.

    I’ve been using pCloud for years and it’s superb.

    On a technical level or works exactly how I want a cloud drive to function - only downloads and stores files locally when necessary.

    Local cache size can be adjusted so if you work with large files you can increase it.

    UI is intuitive

    Linux client works without issue, even on immutable OS (Project Bluefin).

    Fantastic value for money. I purchased a lifetime subscription and it has already paid for itself compared to annual pricing.

    Only negative I have is although there is a open source headless Linux CLI client to work with remote servers it hasn’t been updated in a while and doesn’t support 2 factor authentication. https://github.com/pcloudcom/console-client

    I was able to work around this by creating a second free account without 2fa and “sharing” the directories I needed.
