Not just a right, but a duty; and most of us are not doing our share.

It will stop the day the lions are all poisoned to make way for a politician's nephew's new mega cattle ranch.

It would be nice if white people would pay as much to photograph a lion as to hunt it. Would be almost as nice if Asian or African people did.

Until that happens, the lions have to pay their way somehow, just like everything else in Africa.

I've never met a moral absolutist IRL.

Most people are very creative in finding excuses for themselves or their team.

"Tech" spans a pretty broad range, LA L.

Level One Support in a large organisation? Constantly.

Linux distros for dummies

A Linux distribution is a similar concept to a phone’s app store. It allows you to download software that’s pre-vetted. This reduces the chance that it’s malware and allows the different dependencies to work together to reduce redundancy. However, you MAY optionally get software OUTSIDE of the package manager and directly from the software’s developer, through universal systems such as Flatpak, AppImage, or Snaps.

If you get software from OUTSIDE the package manager, then you’ll have double dependencies which takes up space and causes some minor delay in starting up the program. Many in the Linux community argue and debate over if the delay, space, and security issues matter, or if it’s more important to have software that works across distributions and is released faster. The delay on Snaps is worse than others, leading SOME to criticize Ubuntu which heavily uses them. This is why Mint is a fork of Ubuntu but WITHOUT Snaps. Others point out that without universal package managers, it can take YEARS for new software to make it to distributions with slower release cycles such as Ubuntu and Mint.

A Linux distribution is NOT the way Linux LOOKS. That’s the desktop environment! So if you like a distro’s software, you can swap it for any other desktop environment than the default. For example Linux Mint’s “Cinnamon flavor” look, could be put on Debian or anything else! At the end of the day, distros DON’T matter that much and anything is better than Windows… even snaps =)

My dad used Ubuntu Linux for his last ten years of life, without trouble.

And this was a guy who owned a typewriter until well into the 2000s...

They couldn't follow the money from Nirvana Finance until he confessed.

The article is cagey on exactly where his OPSEC went wrong, but the fact they know about all his internet searches suggests he wasn't using a VPN.

Dumbass...

Look, I'm all for roasting sacred cows.

But Greta would be niche. Very niche indeed.

She's a minimum-makeup girl, so presumably she would actually put out in a relationship. But you'd have to stop halfway through because she's in tears over the polar bears again. And she'd expect you to sit with her and console her until she calms down.

Any studio that can make an adult film out of that, deserves to rule the world!

I knew a guy who lived at home until he was 35.

Then he suddenly bought a house in a nice suburb. Without a mortgage (!). And then got a girlfriend and proposed to her.

Wouldn't make those choices myself, but it worked!

Googlegirl doth protest too much. The others are still just as true today!

What does it say about a government, that it normalises sharing of torture-porn fantasies by public figures?

Dissident Sound, you are not cynical enough.

Poll question: "Do you feel there is ever a role for government to enter negotiations to lower prices ultimately paid by consumers?"

Okay, got 98% in favour. Now disqualify any participant who used Nostr in the last 30 days.

We're at 99% now.

Headline: "99% of People Want Price Control Action Now. Trump Disagrees."

If the government is VERY interested in you. Snowden/Assange-level interested. Then there is no hiding.

For those of us who only merit automated attention, Graphene OS should throw enough sand in the gears :-)

They also misgendered them.

Using Trump!

And X!

#Genocide fixes this.

Rumours that incompetent communication between IDF units (especially air to ground) on October 7th led to dozens of Israeli citizens being hit with white phosphorus and other munitions cannot be true and must be suppressed.

#DefendTheNarrative

Only if there is no external source of innovation, information and transport costs are nil, and the products are perfectly interchangeable.

Not true even in commodity markets...
