It basically is when you’re not the one who has to deal with that debt.
Durin’s Bane… a Balrog of Meowgoth
Man the ‘x’ in that font looks dreadful.
Sad to see Ric go, but I get it. Although if he’s not good enough for F1, neither are a few others…
If I had to pick, Ubuntu.
What I’d actually pick: Fedora
Workstation Edition (Gnome) or Plasma Edition (KDE Plasma), whatever your UX preference, with Gnome being more polished, minimalist, distraction-free, and Plasma being like Windows out of the box but much more powerful and customisable.
The name unfortunately conjures images of the tips fedora/m’lady meme, but the name predates that, and it’s a solid and well-supported distro that gets better with every update.
I don’t really dislike Ubuntu; they certainly get a lot right. But they have also made a few choices that I’m not really into. Most of all, the direction of Ubuntu is somewhat unpredictable, because Canonical is a for-profit business that has changing priorities.
We’ve come a long way. An analogue clock in particular seems crazy to me lol
It’d be interesting to see a timeline of different UIs on Linux, from the beginning to now
No, it isn’t. Not having children is.
And are we still doing the “personal climate footprint” propaganda that BP was pushing?
Nuts that last year the Mercedes was, depending on the track, the 3rd to 6th best car on the grid, and yet Lewis for a good while was battling for 2nd in the WDC, against someone in literally the most dominant F1 car of all time.
I’m going to preface this by saying the whole Americanised ACAB stuff is silly. Not everywhere has a shitty, militarised police force like theirs. Where I am, my experience with the police has been pretty positive, even with me being an immigrant with darker skin.
But man, no.
If police want your data, they can ask you politely, and if you say no, then that should be it. End of discussion. People have the right to privacy.
Maybe the officer wouldn’t do anything nefarious. But then again, maybe they will. You have no way of knowing what type of person that officer is. Even good police forces have plenty of shitty employees, so police powers should be limited to avoid them just doing whatever they want.
If there’s a genuine reason to have your data, say you’re implicated in some criminal investigation, then they can go through the proper channels and get a warrant.
Police absolutely should not have the power to just do whatever they like. If you let them, have that, it leads to shitty police forces like they have in the US and elsewhere.
Where did I say that?
You seem to be looking at this like a console fanboy. Me criticising Apple does not mean I’m a fan of Google.
Yes, Apple is bad. They are a tax-dodging multi-trillion-dollar company. They are not good. They are not your friend.
Android phones have this feature as well btw lol
A lot countries have this now.
Even for a number of countries where it’s not technically enshrined in law, police can still effectively do it anyway, by detaining you for as long as they like until you comply.
He’s been saying this for many months, yet has taken zero action.
Indeed. Looking up how it works, this is how it should be done. I wish other browsers did this too.
This article is straight up misinformation in that it presents this as an erosion of user privacy. It isn’t.
That said, given how fickle people are online, Mozilla should’ve probably seen this coming and not enabled it on pre-existing Firefox installs.
I’m not. I know it is, as I’m sure everybody else is too.
But there are many ways to campaign for a better environment, and he has specifically chosen to go for the one that will help his catering company.
I don’t think that was a coincidence.
I’m not even saying that we shouldn’t be doing it. I’m just pointing out his lobbying for something that will benefit his business.
You’ve celebrated genocide from the start. Bye bye.
Yeah maybe. I’m certainly conflicted on this, because I don’t think he’s wrong, but him financially benefitting from this in a big way does leave a slight sour taste in my mouth.
Lobbying for the world to remain habitable is very different to lobbying so your catering company can make some money.
And of course he can express his view. As am I allowed to express my distaste in people lobbying for their own private companies’ benefit.
And I absolutely cared about lobbying before I saw this news.
Far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. This one we shall call… Mr Tiddles.
