If it’s just one large file I just play it on a podcast app (in my case Podcast Addict) and if it’s multiple I stich them together with ffmpeg before sending it to my phone.

Yea, but Gabe is not going to be around forever, and any successor leadership might have a different philosophy. And it’s never a bad idea to have a backup.

Day 1 of suddenly having the urge to keep an offline and DRM free copy of all my steam games.

I started with linux mint, and if I had to start again I would still go with mint as my first distro. It was just familiar enough while allowing me to figure out what was different on linux. I only switched to arch due to the quality of the wiki and the AUR (after a short trial run of manjaro).

I have them off, but if something comes in that I should respond to I do send some sort of response back (errands, plans, etc.) I just don’t like feeling I get that I should respond now to something just because I saw it and now the person on the other end knows that I saw it, and are now wondering why I haven’t sent something back yet.

Some countries just don’t care (even if they have laws on piracy), no vpn needed.
