Followup to why you should switch to Nobara Linux. Also, some scripts I’ve compiled for distro hopping the fedora flavors.

    The link from Lemmy takes you to an email sign-up page instead of actual content that requires you click “No Thanks” first before you can continue. I should have stopped there but I didn’t. To bypass the sign up page copy the link and remove the “r” variable from the query string first.

    The only thing I saw referencing Nobaru linux was a link near the top of the page to who knows where. The rest of the page is filled with words haphazardly forced together against their will, and it shows.

        Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.

        By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).

        Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.

        You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.

          Furiously taking notes… Not really though, while substack has some annoying behavior, setting a paywall is up the the writer. I turned it off.
