Seeking info on all of the many, lesser known desktop environments

What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?
I’ve seen a few throughout my life at friend’s houses as a kid during the age of Limewire. Typically they were pretty good quality even though you’d see the odd person get up from their seat or hardcoded subtitles. Lately I’ve been curious about the history behind them and how they came to be....

You're lying down, trying to sleep. Some part of your body is itchy, scratching will wake you up, not scratching will remain itchy. Do you scratch or wait for the itch to go away?
I have this issue often. I know if I scratch, it will wake me up and take longer to sleep because of my body movement. If I don’t scratch, my mind only focuses on the itch. Sometimes I’ll wait 5 minutes for the scratch to go away and then I just cave and start scratching any minor itch I have on my body. Has anyone just not...
Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?
I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router’s wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the...
Value aside, do people actually like gold-looking things?

Do you think that there may be random internet posts from today that in the future may be seen on the same level as the writings of Plato or other great philosophers?

what would a realistic ideal human body be like, would it be resistant to cancer, resistant to autoimmune dieases, no ageging etc.
All this excess of information, games, shows and everything else is ruining our boredom, which is usually what leads us to think more creatively
Title....
So, apparently shit post mods will just remove posts with positive upvotes without any mod mail or explanation.
As per title, submitted a post here that as far as I’m aware met all the rules, it had positive momentum before I went to bed, wake up and no post and no messages or notification that it was removed or why except that it’s just gone. Discuss.
Nuking old Reddit accounts
I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo....

Distro suggestions?
Currently running Kali on my laptop as that’s all it was used for. Looking for something more general purpose. Mainly steam for light gaming and being able to install the tools from Kali for stuff like tryhackme. Mostly familiar with Debian, as that’s what Kali is based on, but willing to try something else. Laptop is this...
