I’ve been trying various Linux flavours every year for 10 years or so. The last year I tried Arch, then EndeavourOS, which has been my most successful Linux exploration I’ve ever had, and given me huge hope. However, there are still a few things preventing me switching it to my default OS....
For Roblox, I think Grapejuice or Vinegar should help you out, so check these projects out. For Office 365, there’s the online versions as well but that’s about it.
I don’t know enough about 1 and 2 (I’m a sailor of the high seas, you see?) so can’t help you with these.
Yeah, I use Clickbait Remover, Sponsorblock, Improve Youtube (or ImprovedTube), Distraction-Free Youtube, Return Youtube Dislike, and of course, Ublock Origin, to make Youtube work well for me. That’s 6 extensions, 5 of which are about Youtube only. 5/11 of my extensions are for Youtube Only.
For anyone curious, the others are enhanced-264-ify, User Agent Switcher, Dark Reader, Brave Search and Tabliss.
I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:...
Omg it’s Computerphile and Dr. Mike Pound! He’s a lecturer at the Uni of Nottingham where I’m studying! Met him and other Computerphile lecturers a few times (I even had some of them as my lecturers) and they’re all a wonderful bunch!
I’d argue that no system truly works for larger groups.
more susceptible to corruption
I couldn’t disagree more. Any system is very susceptible to corruption. It’s all about accountability and transparency, which those in power will never make themselves do, because it is actively harming them by stripping them of opportunities to amass more power and influence.
And that is true in any system. Communist states became totalitarian dictatorships, while Capitalist nations also grow more corrupt because of greed and power lust, to the point where you see things like “the revolving door” in the USA, or the Tory party donors essentially paying for peerages in the UK. And of course, there’s also lobbying.
Corruption is everywhere and the common man gets screwed over regardless of the system or people in charge, because the good people are always too good to compete, fight, and play dirty against these politicians so the winners are always the evil ones.
That’s not what I said. I said everywhere is terrible.
And to be honest, yes, other places have it worse. I used to live in arguably the worst nation in Eastern Europe and I like in the UK now. I sure as hell know which one gibes me more life opportunities, higher quality and diversity of jobs, better education and higher quality of life.
And that’s without even considering the places that are at war.
So yes, people in other places have it much much worse.
Now in terms of nihilism, I actually see myself as more of an absurdist, as ultimately I’ll carry on living in this meaningless universe in spite of its lack of meaning and I will achieve a level of success and satisfaction with my own achievements, (hell, I kinda already have) in spite of the aforementioned bastards politicians.
It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community....
Seems that you’re right. It’s almost usable currently, but it lacks some essential things for me, mainly some further snappiness and customisable key binds (old habits die hard and I’m not adapting my habits and workflow to new keybinds).
But after these get fixed, I can see myself potentially running COSMIC. This makes me even more excited for what the future will bring.
Edit: Also, sloppy focus aka focus-follows-mouse
And an option for static workspaces i.e a set number of workspaces that are constantly there, instead of dynamic workspaces that close with your windows and change your workflow because you closed the window on Workspace 4 so workspace 5 is now workspace 4 so when you go looking for the window on workspace 5, it’s not there.
I don’t like light themes because they can be too bright, even on lower brightness but this… I kinda like it. In fact, it reminds me of this Brodie Robertson video on Light Themes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=95dYgp3f-7w (I’m counting on the Piped bot to offer a more private way of playing the video)
TLDW: Modern Light themes are bad because they’re blinding and too bright. A good light theme will not be just white but something that isn’t as bright while still looking good and not blinding you.
*he says as GNOME is literally THE desktop to go against EVERY OTHER DESKTOP on Wayland issues and to keep on delaying major fixes further for bullshit reasons. Delaying or not adding features users want, for ideological reasons is the exact reason that Wayland is still not ready even though development started in 2008.
I hope this gets taken seriously by CISA and they are ntact Microsoft and the email providers to see what sort of information can be found out about these “individuals”. I’m usually against tracking but in this case, it can help us understand more about the malicious actors, like, are their IPs coming from a certain state, or are they all isong a VPN, and if so, which one? And then, if applicable, getting in touch with the VPN provider and getting as much data as possible.
How about using that data to aid in investigations (as it jas beem done mamy times before)? I mean, imagine this turns out to be a state actor! We need to know what’s happening. We need to know if these are connected. And this information can help predict their next move.
To quote Gandalf from the LOTR films (not sure if that quote is in the books):
“Send word to all our allies… The enemy’s moving against us. We need to know where he will strike”.
Also, first they tried to strike Linux systems, then they tried to strike the Web. What’s next? If anyone has any ideas, feel free to share them here, as we can get an idea of what projects need to be more vigilant.
I’ve been wondering about how feasible an all-systemd system would be. Like, take Arch and do a manual install but replace everything possible with systemd. Resolved, networkd, (whatever the fstab alternative is called), systemd-boot (of course) etc. And just have everything replaced by systemd as much as possible. It’s an interesting idea and ClearLinux essentially did just that so I might check it out for inspiration.
Holy crap, that dude is just next level. He’s talking about getting absolutely everything encrypted, and here I am, not even having my root partition encrypted.
Like honestly, what the fuck is wrong with people? I remember adding random people on Snap (back then, I used it a lot for scambaiting so I’d talk to deposit scammers a lot) and in my recommended, there was a person called “(name-of-girl) Dog” so you would think maybe it’s just a person posting pictures of their dog on their stories, right? Wrong. (Content warning) >! It’s a girl selling videos of her fucking her dog !< I just noped out of there, didn’t even try to find out if it was real (should hopefully be fake, as regular pic sellers usually are, but you never know).
So in short, does the evidence linked mean that Jewish history and origin don’t align sith the Bible? Shocker. As if anything in there shouldn’t be taken with a bucketful of salt.
So… the origin aligns with the bible, but what happened after that, doesn’t? Sorry if I’m being annoying, I’m still a bit sleepy and trying to make sense of this.
