Can you still access the info by hitting edit? It was possible last time I checked. Even so, yeah, I’m thinking a transition to bitwarden is not a bad idea.

Mostly just toys.

If you can’t rely on them more (not ‘just as much,’ more) than the people who would do whatever the task is, you can’t use them for any important task, and you aren’t going to find a lot of tasks which are simultaneously necessary and yet unimportant enough that we can tolerate rolling nat 1s on the probability machine all the time.

It’s Debian. Let us know when you have your first real issues with it, probably some time in 2037.

Quite. Some of them make it as difficult as possible, requiring the request to be physically printed and sent in via the post. Some hide the information regarding how to make the request as obscurely as possible. And essentially none of them treat it as a ‘and don’t collect any more’ request so they just start up a new collection on you the next time you do basically anything with one of their ‘business partners.’ Allowing people to request deletion is just the excuse they use to keep collection legal when it shouldn’t be.

If you’re wanting to use software that’s most easily available on different distros, why not just use Distrobox? If you are just wanting to change the UI, why not just switch DEs? If you really need to be able to randomly switch away from/to system level differences, what are you doing? What would necessitate that?

It changes one kind of stress for another in a lot of cases. If you annoy everyone you come into contact with, you end up alone, which isn’t great for your mental health, and turns every interaction into an annoyance, so you end up stressed by the necessity of interacting with people you don’t want to interact with. There is no escape from humanity when you are human.

Most people feel obligated to at least pretend they like their family.

If the big consideration is really sound, doing whatever is necessary to use larger, but slower (wide, high CFM per dB/RPM) and higher quality (fluid dynamic bearings) fans might serve the purpose regardless of other hardware. Some of them are rated to be <20dB, quieter than a whisper, and fluid bearings are supposed to be mostly impervious to the noise added by aging that hits a lot of fans.

Ubuntu’s not bad, though watch for out of date info when you look things up. It’s been around a long time.

One of the most useful things I’ve heard is that while there are a lot of little niche distros, it comes mostly down to three main types: Debian based, Fedora based, and Arch based. This crosses with the most popular desktop environments: KDE Plasma, LXQt, GNOME, XFCE. There are other options but it’s easier to not have to learn two things at once.

The desktop environment is the front end ‘look’n’feel’ of the system. Look at some screenshots to get the look. Some are more easily customizable/prettier (KDE more windows-y, GNOME more Mac-y) and some are lighter on resources if that’s a worry. (XFCE/LXQt)

The three main swaths of distros are more about the back end. Debian tends to be more stable, but not bleeding edge, so it might not handle hardware that just came out but is a bit less likely to break. Arch tends to be on the bleeding edge, with a lot of capabilities, but can give you some ‘learning experiences’ you might not be looking for. Fedora is in the middle.

Almost anything you can do on one, you can do on the others, so don’t worry too much about exclusives. It’s more about what comes as pre-installed conveniences/bloatware. (e.g. steam and lutris on gaming distros, networking tools as on Kaisen or Kali, or a kernel tweaked for lower latency audio in Ubuntu Studio meant for music production)

And the best part is you can try a whole bunch of them very easily if you have a spare good-sized thumb drive laying around. Ventoy is a tool for booting multiple systems from a single USB. Most major distros offer a ‘live usb’ file. Set up a ventoy USB drive. Download the ISOs for any distros that look cool, and then boot from the USB to try out any that interest you without even needing to do anything to your existing windows install.

Even if it wasn’t a slur, that’s spam. Should be easy to recognise and ban on that alone.

It has gotten so much easier too. I started with Ubuntu on an old laptop to try it out back in ~2017. I had some ‘learning experiences.’ This year, it took almost no effort to slap bazzite on a machine, do a few small tweaks using a GUI settings app, no terminal activity needed, and let even someone who has never used a CLI just get on with their day with basically no issue. At this point, the only issue is a handful of software, specifically Adobe and their nonsense.

A deadline is only as meaningful as your ability to convince people it is meaningful. Set a deadline as psygod, no one gives a shit. Set a deadline as a political action group with 2% of the population as members, now you’re getting some attention. 20%? Change is happening.

Don’t frame it as practical. It’s moral.

It was, and in a number of places still is, ‘normal’ to say she’s a woman and therefor has no business having a private email address at all, that all communication with her should be through her father or husband, and that if she were to talk to a man herself she’d have to be beaten to make her behave more ‘normally.’ Normal just means common, not good. If she wants to keep talking to people through Daddy Google, that’s her choice, very ‘normal,’ but you would rather be good.

True, though having something to start with, even something wrong but that tells you where to start looking, is better than nothing.

I think I remember this as a defcon talk.
