Mane25,

Sobering up before trying to find ways of organising songs would be my first tip.

Mane25,

So what is your suggestion?

Mane25,

Yes, the term censorship in this context is particularly infuriating to me. It’s not censorship since these are privately owned websites that can link to whatever they like, and users can choose whether or not to use them. When DuckDuckGo launched, before privacy concerns were such a pressing issue the fact that they filtered poor quality sources was one of their most advertised selling points: technologyreview.com/…/the-search-engine-backlash…

Malicious Google Search Ads can now fake the displayed URL to push malware downloads (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

Most people know at this point that when searching for a popular software package to download, you should be very careful to avoid clicking on any of the search ads that appear, as this has become an extremely common vector for distributing malware to unsuspecting users....

Mane25,

Presumably you can hover over the link to see the actual URL (which I think is best practice anyway), or is it more sophisticated than that?

Mane25,

I would always out of habit avoid any links that go to somewhere other than the advertised destination - so if it goes to an analytics platform I would copy and paste the text if the text of the link is a URL, or find an alternative. Always hovering links and being absolutely sure of where they go should really be taught as standard practice.

Mane25,

That type of thing is concerning. What browser are you using out of interest?

Mane25,

This isn’t a correct answer to your question, that’s why it’s getting downvotes.

Mane25,

That’s still not how you upgrade from one Fedora version to another. Please try not to provide information you’re unsure about, it’s irresponsible.

This is the documentation: docs.fedoraproject.org/…/upgrading-fedora-new-rel…

Mane25,

That’s fine for installing patches to the same version, and updates to some major software, but you won’t receive all the new features, and since versions are only supported for 13-months you’ll stop receiving updates by then. It’s good to familiarise yourself with the release cycle docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/

Mane25,

I’m about to get rid of my ageing “dumb” TV and not replace it. Everything comes in to my laptop now, so any monitor and set of speakers to plug it in to will do.

My prediction is that this is going to be the end of the line for TVs as stand-alone hardware - just like most people don’t really have stand-alone Hi-Fi systems any more.

Mane25,

My biggest regret was getting rid of a perfectly good portable CRT TV that would have been ideal for pre-7th generation gaming, just as they stopped making good quality CRTs.

Mane25,

Europeans flying the flag of Europe.

Hasn’t this happened every proms since brexit anyway?

Mane25,

What’s off? That looks like it might be useful.

Mane25,

I mean they are two things that co-exist, it’s not like they’re in commercial competition. Flatpak itself is usually distributed as an RPM or deb.

Mane25,

OK well I’m not sure where the AppImage “purists” and Flatpak “critics” are but I’ve not really encountered them.

Mane25,

As someone who’s not used Chrome for a while, what does it mean to be “signed into a regular widow”? Does it mean signed in to a Google account with cookies that can be seen by a regular browser tab, or is there some login process to the actual browser itself these days?

Mane25,

Sign in to what though? That’s what I still don’t understand, I’ve never used a browser that had a mandatory account (except maybe AOL in the 90s but that wasn’t really a browser)…

But of course, downloading Firefox is definitely the right choice. :)

Mane25,

OK then this is my culture shock because I’ve never “signed in” to a browser in my life. All I want to know is what are people signing in to?

Mane25,

Blaming spambots is one thing, but whoever set up this community should lock it if they’re not going to mod it because there are loads of spam messages here that haven’t been dealt with in days. It’s a pretty bad look. I’m unsubscribing but I also want to add shame on whoever set this up and abandoned it because it reflects poorly on the fediverse.

Mane25,

OK, then he should lock it, it’s spamming my feed, maybe I should move to something defederated with Kbin. No moderation is dangerous.

Mane25,

This whole government makes a whole lot more sense once you come to the realisation that they’re all mentally challenged in the literal sense. It wouldn’t surprise me if they couldn’t even conceptualise how the two things are related.

Mane25,

You can still be cruel and mentally challenged.

They got in to power because of privilege. Those with privilege and intelligence have long since abandoned the Tory party, so you’re just left with the bottom of the barrel; the privileged and dim - it’s no wonder this country is failing.

It’s like that whole encryption thing they’re failing to push through; the fact that “this is an embarrassingly stupid and unworkable idea” never gets brought up just goes to show. They don’t even know what encryption is, it’s a joke.

Mane25,

I know they don’t care but they’re also not very intelligent. I thought that would be non-controversial. The capitalist class that put them there might be intelligent but not the politicians themselves.

Mane25,

It’s not ablism to suggest someone might not have the mental capacity to do a job.

I thought it would be obvious just looking at the shallowness of their reasoning. Also, an evil genius would at least act in their own interests, whereas the Tories have been pretty self-destructive.

Mane25,

It’s so real that I had to enable 3rd party scripts in uBlock Origin to get past the second page, is that intentional?
