I was able to find it’s apk but none of the apks I replaced it with worked. So either the apps I have don’t work in ATL or there is some issue specifically with NewPipe’s flatpak.

Ok, I have NewPipe installed and it’s working but I don’t where it’s apk is located or how to replace it.

No, not at all. I’m already the type of person who gets extreme anxiety whenever someone expects anything thing from me. Adding a time limit just makes things worse.

I usually screw in both bolts but I still have an old laptop that I use on very rare occasions that doesn’t have the screw holes for some reason.

Ok, I can try Solus. As long as the only meaningful difference is the package manager, I should be able to use it.

Also, I didn’t find the Manjaro spin but on Budgie’s official website, there is a list of distros that come with Budgie. So, I can try those if, for some reason, can’t use Solus.

I can try that, do you know of any distro that has it preinstalled? I don’t care too much about what it’s based on but I might prefer a distro that’s similar to Linux Mint.

I’m currently using Cinnamon because I thought it would be better than Xfce. While I do think that Cinnamon looks better, there were some minor things that I preferred with Xfce. I want to try Mate and maybe some of the other DEs if I can find a good distro that has them but I may go back to Xfce the next time I install Linux Mint.

So far just one and that user was banned so the block doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t really have a reason to block users, I just blocked that one user because they were spamming some images and videos that had “extreme” content.

The only thing I use as a backup is a Live CD that’s mounted to a USB thumb drive.

I used to use Timeshift but the one time I needed it, it didn’t work for some reason. It also had a problem of making my PC temporarily unusable while it was making a backup, so I didn’t enable it when I had to reinstall Linux Mint.

Well, one of my grandmas died about a year ago, I don’t really talk to my other grandma, I’ve never met either of my real grandpas (my parents have never met them either) and I don’t really talk to my step-grandpas. I do go to family gatherings but I’m not really much of a talkative person, so I don’t really have much of a reason to talk to them.

I’ll keep it brief because I know that this kind of stuff is very triggering for some people but when I was in elementary school, my dad was an alcoholic. One year on my birthday, we decided to go out of town so we can eat at a restaurant that we didn’t have and buy some games from GameStop. Long story short, right before we reached our destination, my dad for a reason that I don’t remember (assuming there was one), decided to start physically abusing both my mom and my sister. So we ended up just going right back home and we just ordered pizza.

Something that I considered doing with a similar laptop, was to use it as a low-end portable gaming system. I’d take a lightweight Linux distro, like the 32-bit version of Q4OS if it’s system requirements are lower than your current setup, and get it loaded with a bunch of games with low system requirements and retro emulators. Obviously, it wont be anywhere near as powerful as your main computer (if you have one) but because it’s portable, there could be some value in having a portable gaming pc (unless you have something like the Steam Deck).

You could use them as a memory card for ps1 games.

While I don’t have that many, I do already have multiple email addresses that I actively use. I also have them setup as a recovery emails for each other, so that way, if a hacker wants to take over one of my emails, they’d have to hack all of them.

That’s the reason I don’t open random emails and I never answer the phone unless I’m expecting a call/text from a specific number. I’m too paranoid about getting scammed/hacked. I’d be using 2FA if it wasn’t for the fact that I’d have concerns about potentially loosing access to my accounts because the trusted device stops working or something.

I do already use different passwords for every account that I have and I changed my Gmail password recently. Is there anything else I should be worried about?

To some extent. For audio, I don’t really have to much experience with expensive headphones/earbuds but I do notice a difference. I still usually go with cheaper headphones though because the difference in audio quality and durability aren’t really enough to justify the price difference.

For visuals in games, I do prefer to have the best experience but what settings I use depends on the game. There are some settings that are universal to me, like for example, if anti-aliasing is available, I always have it set to 2x (or 1.5x if the game has it) because every option for anti-aliasing in every game I’ve tried looks exactly the same to me, so going higher is just a waste of system resources. For similar reasons, while both of my monitors support higher resolutions, I still prefer to use 720/768p.

I think the only time I really don’t care about visual quality, is just when I’m watching videos online.

Yeah that’s it. Also, I think I know why I couldn’t find anything about it, it’s because it’s part of a pack of games and not a stand-alone game. It’s also weird that I don’t remember any of the other games from that collection.

It might not be the first but my oldest memory of playing a game was a very old pc game that I can’t remember much about and I’ve never been able to actually find anything about it anywhere. All I remember is that it was a game that had colored rats on conveyor belts and you had to sort them. I’m pretty sure it had a top down perspective as the conveyor belts would loop back to where the rats came from.

Outside of sorting them by artist, album and maybe something else depending on what it is, I kind of don’t. If there is a song that I like, I’ll download it and add it to the folder where I keep all of my music. Yes, this does cause a playlist that is massive and kind of sporadic but I already listen to artists like A-one and Sound Holic which already have at least some level of variety to the style of music they make.
