That's beautiful. Card backs?

I've never been into vector graphics, but I had reason to use Inkscape recently, and I was actually surprised by how easy to use it was and how much the UI made sense.

If you push the second button down on the right-hand side, it'll usually mute them, even if it isn't labelled to indicate that.

I've got things that need to run periodically set up in crontab, and create menu launchers for things that I run as needed.

I've played WoW on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No problems there.

The US economy in the 70s was famously bleak.

Good point.

I can definitely see how people could find it while looking for porn. I don't understand how people can do this stuff out in the open with no consequences .

File-sharing and online chat seem like basic internet activities to me.

I don't know about that.

I spot most of it while looking for out-of-print books about growing orchids on the typical file-sharing networks. The term "blue orchid" seems to be frequently used in file names of things that are in no way related to gardening. The eMule network is especially bad.

When I was looking into messaging clients a couple years ago, to figure out what I wanted to use, I checked out a public user directory for the Tox messaging network and it was maybe 90% people openly trying to find, or offering, custom made CP. On the open internet, not an onion page or anything.

Then maybe last year, I joined openSUSE's official Matrix channels, and some random person (who, to be clear, did not seem connected to the distro) invited me to join a room called openSUSE Child Porn, with a room logo that appeared to be an actual photo of a small girl being violated by a grown man.

I hope to god these are all cops, because I have no idea how there can be so many pedos just openly doing their thing without being caught.

Omg. That's hilarious and so disturbing. I would imagine you'd see a lot of things like that if your job involves watching security footage.

I think that's been the law everywhere I've lived, too, but not always followed...
