They were trying to run it cracked through an alternative launcher.

How else are you supposed to boil wine?

I admit that I screwed up somehow. I got eager and followed an old search result. Not sure how to fix that or if it is worth it.

I actually don’t know. It was a one and done snap install.

No P2P with free Proton.

It isn’t that I am unwilling to pay. I am incapable.

This is a step forward, but actually using DistroBox is confusing. I’m at the low end of an intermediate user here and don’t see a direct way to get the .deb pkg.

Nothing specific right now. I’m just trying to get some protection. I’ll do what it takes!

His time as the mascot was so weird.

IRC is still very much around.

Np, I hope you enjoy the edit!

That was kind of the point here - more than the machine controlling aliens could ever eat. They circled around a truck stop for crying out loud. The idea behind my tiny brain gag is that they push the ship beyond what it is capable of to fend off the alien virus that might have taken hold.
