~10 years ago I had a renewed interested in perspective drawing, and was struggling with an 'exercise' that utilized curvilinear perspective & oblique angles.
Anyways, I stumbled on some of Rafael's drawings and found their inclusion of the guide lines / measuring lines invaluable, but for the hell of it, I emailed him some questions.
He promptly responded and then dumped images and reference material on dropbox for me - very nice guy.

~50% response rate for people with major depressive disorder isn't "barely working" -- for millions of people, SSRIs significantly improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" solution and often those of us with MDD have to try different medications, in conjunction with a (good) therapist before we find what works best.
Personally, I've run the gamut on SSRIs and they never suppressed all emotion.
I have some Wiim amps, but the streamers aren't like what I'm talking about. I want a big, bright, touch screen. It should display nearly full-size album artwork.
Having been a young kid in the 80s, what I recently discovered was the primary concern with parents at the time (because, I genuinely don’t remember) was using those afternoon and Saturday morning cartoons as a vehicle to sell products to kids - a barrage of advertisements. Seems pale in comparison to extreme behavior that potentially endangers others, e.g. deliberately crashing your airplane for views/hits.
I've always thought it was weird that distros like Manjaro and EndeavourOS get lumped together as "arch derivatives" when the former doesn't even pull from the Arch repos.
EndeavourOS has been my daily driver for about 4 years - I'm a huge fan. A breeze to install, excellent community, and I like the QoL features/packages they've added.
Last time I tried an arch based "easy" installable distro it was a nightmare for me, this was probably 5 years ago. How likely am I to break my OS with EndeavourOS are there any things I should avoid? My interest in something like Arch is only in order to have access to more modern compilers and tools, as opposed to whatever is frozen in a Debian repo or whatever distro I'm using. I've been fine with POP but would like the flexibility that you get on Windows and Mac to use any version of a software.

If you have some Linux experience - unlikely I would say.
I'd suggest that you check https://archlinux.org/news/ from time to time, to see if there are any breaking changes / things that need manual intervention.
Asides from that, take care of your Pacnew files [1] and you should be good to go. EndeavourOS provides a "Welcome" application which makes this task simple.
Finally the EndeavourOS Forums are a super friendly place to get help in case you still manage to break something [2]
In addition to 7839284023's suggestions, if you're making regular backups and not performing partial updates, I think it's unlikely you'll tank your OS and if you do, you got the backups. You mentioned debian and things to avoid post-install - if you're looking for something as invaluable and concentrated as dontbreakdebian, you won't find it with Arch (outside of simply pointing to the wiki).
EndeavourOS has their own wiki . I get the impression they were/are attempting to translate the Arch wiki to a more succinct and ingestible format, but many of the articles are several years old so I'd recommend vetting those that are applicable to your use case.
> How likely am I to break my OS with EndeavourOS are there any things I should avoid?
The exact same chance Arch has to break something: so quite likely, as in, it's not a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN. The exact WHEN being dependent on how unlucky you are.
I'm sure I'll get a dozen downvotes and replies from people saying they've been using Arch since the beginning of time and never had an issue, but a full update of EndevourOS left me without working sound. Not ideal considering I'm applying for jobs and need sound to work for interviews.
For that I need an OS that's 100% bulletproof, not something I need to read up tutorials, blogposts, newsletters, wikis, to learn how to manage, since I don't want another part time sys-admin job, I want something to JustWorks™ without any studies or maintenance.
For a secondary tinkering/learning machine it's a very nice OS since the documentation is also nice, but I would never daily drive it on a main machine that I use for earning a living.
Yup same, I was using it on my laptop that I fired up every 1 or 2 weeks and one update the bootloader broke so it was bye to Endeavor. I enjoyed it very much until then
I haven't tried to daily drive too many distros at home to draw any conclusion.
At work, Ubuntu was also a nightmare, OpenSUSE was pretty solid, and at home Windows never caused me any issues so I'll be sticking to that until I have more time to try out switching to Linux again, but I do like Nobara and TuxedoOS as JustWorks distros, though like I said, i never daily drove them do draw an conclusions
>Windows never caused you issues? That's an incredibly bold statement.
How so? It's not a fact, it's just how my experience was. Just because you had a different experience doesn't mean my experience was wrong or false, because like I said it's just my experience and not a fact and therefore it can neither be right or wrong.
As a free man, I will stick to whatever tool gave me the least issues and avoid those that have. Simple.
>I had to switch off of Windows because it was nothing but issues.
Good for you man. Remember, this isn't a competition, the OS is just a tool like your hammer or drill, not a religion, so nobody cares what your personal OS choices are what your reasons for your choices are, as long as you're happy with what you use that's all that matter, just don't judge others for their choices and reasons.
I don't think that's a good example. While Apache devs are volunteers and Microsoft devs are employees, they were nevertheless criticized for their slow response time and perceived lack of urgency until it was far too late.
the bulk of tech foresight - Metaverse, Gargoyles, Earth (Google Earth)... I think it's foundational. the fact it lagged several years behind the sprawl trilogy, mirrorshades, or schismatrix, etc isn’t relevant imo
Edited to be more polite - my intention was not to be rude or uncivil.
and microtransactions in Ubik.... *shrug*
I mentioned quintessential works rather than "origin stories" to avoid an inevitable "all work is derivative".
edit: True Names surely should have been added in my brief list.
I want to assume you're joking, but I've encountered people who earnestly think the essence of cyberpunk is the retro-80s neon aesthetic, so your comment is in Poe's Law territory for me.
> Fines up to $1M and 20 years in prison. It also uses civil forfeiture and makes it illegal to properly run a VPN.
I genuinely don't understand where this interpretation is coming from; I'm not challenging the interpretation, rather asking for an explanation. They intend on cratering SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS (+ insert any other solution where VPNs are ubiquitous with respect to access) for the purposes of prohibiting access to TikTok and ilk that belong to "foreign adversaries" (China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela)?
- Will B2B VPNs be allowed, and B2C / commercial VPNs be prohibited?
- How would they accomplish this? Ask ISPs to blacklist VPNs?
- How would any of this be enforceable? (perhaps I answered my own question with the preceding question)
edit: I replied to the general post rather than the individual whom I addressing my inquiry.
