I pirate old stuff and overpriced stuff permanently. I refuse to pay an ebay seller $200 for an old GameCube game and I refuse to pay $700 dollars for all the Sims 4 dlc. You may also catch me pirating movies and shows as I strongly dislike subscription models.

I usually have lucid dreams in the third person where I'm not a character in the story. I instead control the other characters like in a video game and I can save scum to get a particularly hard to achieve outcome. Usually, I like to let events pan out by themselves though, as that leads to the most interesting results.

I like Vsauce, but YouTube just never recommends his videos to me. Same with all the others except for Veritasium. I just haven't seen enough of their content and schedule.

Never really watched him much since I was more into minecraft content when I was younger, but I'll take another look at the channel.

You can do that, but if you don't want 20 different accounts, I would recommend signing up to just one. Lemmy and any other federated social media system should push posts from other servers to your feed depending on what servers are in region.

The problem here is that there are so many linux distros that are trying to do their own thing. Sure, a Debian-based distro would use apt, but a lot of the other distros like Void and Fedora use different package managers to suit their needs. I personally use Arch Linux, and that uses pacman which is my manager of preference. There are packages that I cannot find and/or install via pacman and the AUR due to them either not being built as an Arch binary, or being left abandoned by the developer who couldn't bother supporting multiple distros and their package managers, or not having a compatible dependency built for my system.

Flatpaks and AppImages allow for a developer to place an application and all its dependencies in a neatly packaged group. This allows developers to only need to create one package that works on many distros and won't be affected by dependency changes. I use a Flatpak package for Steam because, due to the rolling-release-nature of my distro, sometimes the native install breaks and/or doesn't open properly.

In theory, Snap works in a similar way as the other two, but that is a proprietary package manager that doesn't work on my distro without far much more effort than needed for any proprietary software should ever need to get working ever.

The only real downside to these package managers that I've seen is that the package size is larger than any native install. I am personally fine with this tradeoff however, as I have gotten quite used to building Python container environments recently.
