Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I’ll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂

Can you please elaborate on the security layer that flatpak adds? Some commentators here suggest Flathub is not secure.

Agreeing about Firefox, Linux and Twitter. Like, seriously agreeing, without sarcasm.

Finally Windows users have a legit reason to use the command line! /s

Hopefully you are right.

Kali Linux introduced a script to reskin the DE to look as closely as possible like Windows a few years ago.

We should. Yes please.

I hear you 😁. For whatever reason I stuck with the Vim tutorial and did it a few times over the years. Now I’m using the IdeaVIM extension in IntelliJ - that mode system is just sooo powerful. It has a horrible learning curve, yes, but if you manage to stick with it, it pays huge dividends. I probably know, like, 18% of all commands, and it completely changed how I edit files (mostly for coding, but also text).

My path was the same - there was a time when FF was messing up badly trying to keep up with Chrome, and that’s when I switched to Chrome. FF then cleaned up their act, but the damage was done. Or it might simply have been that Chrome was so much slicker (and not evil) at the time. I went back to FF around the time Google merged all accounts with Chrome accounts, and I much prefer it to Chrome now. I’m sad to see it not being able to regain its past glory and serious traction. I blame it mostly on convenience, inertia and “normies” generally not carrying about the same things as some “techies”.

Wow, it looked like a screen grab from a text based adventure game or something 😂

Is this picture from a game? Looks like something I might like to play.

Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.

There is also the B Corp designation (short for Public Benefit Corporation) which allows a company to balance its responsibility towards the share holders with some other benefit it aims to provide where the share holders aren’t the (only) beneficiaries.
