I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.

I keep trying other distros, and then coming back to Debian unstable XFCE. Linux Mint Debian Edition is ok. At work I did lots of Enterprise Redhat, but I’m glad I don’t have to use it after I retired.

I believe that Firefox has a mechanism where millions of users all have the same fingerprint, which makes the whole concept of browser fingerprinting useless.

My Librewolf gets strong protection from tracking and it’s fingerprint is common with millions (so not uniquely identifiable).

I would not consider reactionary youtube videos to be a reasonable place for the consideration of the validity of a scientific claim. So many are just propaganda and misinformation. Note: The youtube account is using the video to push a questionable investment scheme.

I suspect the whole thing is not about the points your raised, but about how you said it, and treated others in the group during the dialog.

Great article. Well worth reading.

I saw today that they have found that over 80% of the microplastics in the ocean are from automobile tires.

How about just paying food service workers a living wage, so that tipping isn’t critical for basic survival?

ChromeOS is a totally locked down distro of Linux. I prefer Debian Linux with an XFCE desktop thank you.

The article compares Photography, (which despite being “created” by nature is copyrightable), to AI art. The difference between AI art and photography is that AI art is derivative of other artists and generalized into a Model. Nature is not derivative of other photography. Derivative work has special exemptions in copyright law which prevents it from being subject to copyright.

Sure. Seems like a fine way to prepare beans.

LibreWolf should be on the list.

Chrome, and it’s relatives like Edge, are no longer an option, so I use Firefox.

That’s why I’m here. All the corporate owned social media are blatantly far-right fascists. Everywhere else is just thick with Nazis and racists.

I do prefer to use a headphone jack when my phone is the source of music for my amplified sound system and large room speakers.

Every implant legal agreement must include a clause allowing the patient to keep the device in the event of company bankruptcy.

Fascists always use “protecting children” as the rationale for implementing mechanisms of social control. Their willingness to allow school shootings shows that they really don’t care about protecting children at all.

Do these numbers include kbin?

Ubuntu is massively overrated. It’s a bloated distro owned by a greedy corporation.
