I'd be perfectly fine if everything was just mixed mono. I see little value in stereo. I'm weird like that.
Can't help you there, I buy CDs and lossless copies from Bandcamp and Qobuz. Those work for me.
"Install Gentoo" is a meme, not life advice. With Gentoo, the installation process gives you good insight in to the internals of Linux systems and compiling (almost) everything from source is interesting, but won't produce noticeable benefits for average users. Especially since updates take some time, what with compiling the programs again. Gentoo is a great distro with a fantastic package manager, but unless you're an enthusiast or a serious hobbyist, Don't Install Gentoo.
I not too long ago played this game and, while flawed, found it to be a very decent game with a lot of potential. My biggest gripe personally is that it devolves from an engaging and clever stealth game to a mass murder simulator, and the main character isn't terribly likable by the end. Still, I enjoyed it quite a bit and might even replay it some time.
He does appear to be reasonably black, yes.
It's pretty good actually. Tastes way less like shit than your average cup of coffee anyway.
Yes, yes I am.
[Richard Stallman] usually does not browse the web directly from his personal computer. Instead, he uses GNU Womb's grab-url-from-mail utility, an email-based proxy which downloads the webpage content and then emails it to the user.
If you're not doing this you're not properly paranoid.
Aw yeah, I also love browsing the internet on meth!
Mandriva was a Linux distribution that went out of business years ago. OpenMandriva is one of the projects that rose from its ashes with some of the same personnel and code base. It is an independent (not a fork) and community run distribution that, I think, does quite a lot with very limited resources.
I haven't been able to solve CAPTHCAs in years.
