I have fond memories of playing these, but dear god was Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy frustrating! There was another Infocom game, Trinity I think it was, where you needed to get some water or something like that, but you couldn’t put it in an empty boot, you had to have the bucket for it to work. Kind of like playing “guess the mind of the programmer.” Fun times, even so. And then there was Leather Goddesses of Phobos . . . 😊.

I feel like I’m the one always asking questions, so it’s nice to have the opportunity to provide an answer for someone once in a rare while, so thank you! 🙂

That’s what I thought, but thanks for your response. Is the Fediverse/ActivityPub going to address this at some point? Maybe there should be a flowchart of some kind that shows which Fediverse platforms can interact with others (and how).

For anyone who is understandably concerned about nuclear energy, I would suggest that they watch this first before making up their minds (it’s from Nova on PBS which I consider to be a generally reliable source).

Hi ulkesh, looks like you might be responding to a comment I deleted because I felt like I was bragging and being too preachy. Anyway, do you use any other flavors of Linux besides Garuda (I had to look it up, I hadn’t heard of it!)? How do you like it? And your DE environment of choice is, I guess, KDE?

Have a look at https://us.7digital.com/ and https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/shop. Let the buyer beware, though, that it’s not always easy to download your purchases from 7digital, especially if you use Firefox, and Qobuz makes you download one song at a time unless you install some crappy app of theirs. Bandcamp is always my first port of call when looking to buy music.

As far as InDesign alternatives go, do people know about VivaDesigner or even LaTeX for that matter?

Time to switch to Linux 😁👍 (there are plenty of Adobe alternatives for it, although they don’t necessarily offer 100% replacements). I’m convinced that Adobe is one of the major reasons that people stick with windows. If worse comes to worse you can run windows on Linux using a virtual machine (and believe you me, if I can do it then you can too).

Ah, I see, thank you. May I ask where you found that?

🙂👍

Thanks! Will give it a try (but may have more questions as I try to set it up).

While we’re on the topic of search engines, does anyone know how to install your own private Whoogle instance? I’ve been a little confused by the instructions I’ve found; do I need my own server to set this up?

Seems like most search engines these days are primarily Google-based or Bing-based. Mojeek has its own crawler, I think…
