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.

After hearing earlier in the week that Israel was demanding the evacuation of all hospitals in Northern Gaza, it was clear that this hospital was bombed as promised. Claims that Hamas did it are clearly diversionary propaganda.

Why must every faction of Progressives attack each other. Bernie Sanders is the most solid progressive I know of, but Code Pink wants to attack him because his Ukraine support isn’t anti-war? I’m anti war. In particular I’m anti the war that Russia started by invading Ukraine. Anti war doesn’t mean just letting the bad guy do whatever they want. If so, then anti-war is pro tyranny, because they always let the aggressor invade.

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.

Misleading headline. They still want to export it, but they want to process the minerals locally, and then export the processed rare earth material.

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.

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

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.

From the charts in the article, it looks like levels of infection are up to where they were in May/June 2023. Were you wearing a mask then? It really begs the question: What is the threshold level of infection in which the wearing of masks is critically important?

I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.
