There are a not insignificant number of people in the Linux community who feel that the more user friendly focused distros are for “beginners” and the distros that less so are for “experts” and there is a lot of elitism and gatekeeping that goes along with that sentiment. In reality they’re all running the Linux kernel so they’re all equally valid options. Use what works best for you and ignore the chuds who try to tell you otherwise.

The only way I could think to make it work would be to run along the cliff edge to the swinger’s left and then jump in order to get the rope taught. Only issue there is you better be damn sure you leg go at the right time or it will be sending you back toward the (presumably) shallow rocky water at the cliff base.

I’d laugh if this wasn’t affecting me directly.

What would you suggest then? They’ve been unable to sustain themselves via donations alone.

Mozilla has to generate enough revenue to continue developing their products somehow. It would be nice if donations were enough to cover those development costs but that simply isn’t the case. Because of this the ad networks are a necessary “evil”.

Here’s the information about it. It’s anonymous and It can be turned off https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.

It’s scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called “Walmart pay” and it sucks.

Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.

Check out Pinta for a decent paint replacement

I’ve had good luck with the fingerprint scanners in various HP business laptops and fprint. The one on my old Dell laptop was straight-up unsupported though.

I have one of these on every TV in my house and they’re great!

I use Debian headless for my media server and mint cinnamon on the desktop. I don’t care for anything vaguely Gnome 3.

SVSeeker. At first it seemed like a really inspirational channel about a guy building a giant boat in his backyard in Oklahoma that was going to be used as a free to anyone research vessel, but as time went on everyone slowly realized the dude had basically no idea what he was doing and was super hostile to anyone telling him otherwise. Now it’s been two years since lunching the boat and he has done none of the things he promised to do with it (like even leave the coast) and it seems pretty clear everyone got duped into helping him build a retirement house boat instead of a research vessel.

That’s supposed to be Musk?? It’s so far removed from what he actually looks like I couldn’t even tell. What’s with the beard? Lmao.

I thought this was the legitimately the point based on the title until I read the article. The internet has poisoned our minds. Lol

Lol, I just finished building my JellyFin server last weekend too. Bye Plex!

No, you’re right. That’s not a good excuse but being overly dramatic over it doesn’t really do anything productive either. At the end of the day it’s just a default option that can easily be changed. Not really a conspiracy by Google and Apple to steal your personal data.

My guy, there are plenty worse companies than Google to have your data. Let’s not get too hyperbolic.

Lmao, this is the weirdest take I’ve seen in a minute.
