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 am kind, and try to do no harm. I bicycle daily, and tinker on all kinds of projects. INFP

I could not find confirmation that biometrics are only stored on the device. In fact, I did see that iOS does at least part of the biometrics in it’s iCloud keychain.
It seems that Passkeys generally require a biometric scan of some kind. I would prefer a level of privacy where I am not providing images of my face or fingerprints to unknown agencies on the cloud.
Massive surveillance programs won’t stop crime. Instead it will be used to persecute target demographic groups.
Acts of authoritarian control always claim to be done “for the children”. They don’t care about children, they want control.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The basque people would love their land to be this large once again.
I prefer Debian.
I have always preferred Debian unstable with an XFCE desktop.
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.
