Puppy has saved my ass multiple times. Love that tiny dog.

Speaking of Tails, a security minded user can also try out Qubes as well. It uses virtualization to separate different contexts like Work, Personal, Social, etc. You can have your Work profile connect to your workplace VPN while your Personal profile is on a torified connection in parallel. It does have its drawbacks, however. You need more system resources, and anything that requires direct access to GPU like videogames is not officially supported.

So we’ll have to say GNU/Linux/SystemD soon?

(Eat (soil and leaves)) vs (Eat soil) and (leaves)?

There was a whole mess with that cruise ship docked in Japan being counted as a separate case so it didn’t boost Japan’s confirmed case numbers, probably to save face before the Olympics. Looking back now it was only mental gymnastics.

My bad. Sorry.

3rd party modifications to windows iso that basically amounts to trusting an internet stranger.

No problems running on the AMD graphics?

Worst thing about this is that China gets to point fingers and claim racism while all East Asians abroad are lumped in with the CCP collaborators.

The Chinese logic is that they have enough domestic market to isolate themselves and shield from international pressure, economical or political. It’s been working for them since their homegrown platforms like wechat and weibo are big enough to sustain themselves.

It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

I’ve made the switch over a decade ago. Ubuntu was the gateway drug. I have to use windows at work, but that’s it.

I’m guessing there’s a reduced pool of desktop pc users, thus Linux users are now slightly bigger in proportion? There has been big advances regarding Linux adoption, too.

Social pressure is a real thing. I wonder just how many people in the US have iphones because of that dumb blue-green bubble stuff.

Similar here. I have switched to xfce after struggling with gnome and kde.

There’s no easy solution. Some are evicted from their homes with crushing debt, some have safety nets to depend on, some want to end their homeless situation as soon as possible, some, however, are content with eating discarded food and begging for cash to buy alcohol. Not everyone is a hopeless drug addict or a temporarily inconvenienced millionaires, and this is not even mixing charity into the problem.

My guess is whoever thought on implementing AI into this probably consider this a problem that can be made easy by offloading all our human problems into a black box. It isn’t going to be that way.

Got in just after Dapper, those days fooling around with compiz were the best. Went distrohopping when Unity happened.

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn’t pressured to joining it for job searches.

Let’s not mix NFTs into this.

I used Opera when it used Presto instead of becoming a yet another chromium. I miss that one.

Having an untraditional gTLD like .xyz makes many confused as well, especially those not in IT.
