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.

Great news!

Also seeing this on Firefox with latest Ublock and newest ruleset. So far, I just accept then reload without actually changing anything and it works… For now.

Great article. Well worth reading.

I get out my popcorn, and hope McCarthy will push existing charges against Gaetz to have him dismissed from office.

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

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.

Developers would be foolish not to begin transition plans off of Unity. The next Unity LTS version will still require the runtime fee.

Sure. Seems like a fine way to prepare beans.

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.

I was just trying (and failing) to imagine a distribution and development framework which was limited to those entities which agreed with a set of social parameters.

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.

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

That’s alot of effort to go from one horrible programming language to another horrible programming language.

In today’s skewed political spectrum, “Left” is what would be considered moderate in a reasonable perspective.

As others have said, most people don’t install operating systems. They just buy a system, likely a laptop and run whatever OS is on it. Hardly any laptops come with Linux preinstalled unless you look pretty hard, or are searching specifically for one.
