I rate it a 10.10.0 out of 10.

• The Website League, an island network that’s taking a very different approach

“Website League”? I like the sound of that. Like some sort of super team…

Wasn’t there recently a controvetsy about Ventoy having binary blobs? Or did that get resolved?

Now this is much better than getting ads in your Start Menu.

And if they ever run out of Toy Story characters, the Marvel universe has thousands of other characters…

Not to mention other Pixar film characters.

Honestly I’m not sure why they discontinued Mint KDE Edition.

TLDR : Does finnish man like bearded GNU jesus man and the same vice versa

My impression is that they both have a respect for each other, although they don’t necessarily like each other.

I find that sometimes when I try to crosspost and select the community to crosspost to, the entite “Create Post” page resets, and I have to type everything out all over again. Is there any fix for this?

Is it possible to migrate my account to another Lemmy instance? Or would I have to start over?

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost per month to run a Lemmy instance? Not that I’d want to do that myself, I’m just grateful for our admins that keep Lemmy up and running.

Jobs, who once famously characterized death as “likely the greatest invention of existence,” left this world with a lasting gaze at his loved ones and a simple, yet enigmatic remark: “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.”

Trisquel GNU/Linux is an Ubuntu fork that is famous for having no proprietary software whatsoever*. It’s the distro that Richard Stallman uses.

Trisquel uses a modified version of the Linux kernel that is completely devoid of binary blobs. However, as a side effect, some things like WiFi may not work, so you’ll have to buy an FSF-certified USB dongle, or use Ethernet.

*Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from installing closed-source software on Trisquel (but why would you want to do that?). And Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.

Ah, I remember Zorin. It was my first distro. I eventually moved on to Debian and Trisquel, though.

This is an excellent starting point for new converts, but if you want a more “Windows-esque” experience, I’d recommend Kubuntu or KDE Neon (Plasma is the most Windows-like DE in my opinion).

LOL, you should have DYOR and used a cold wallet. You clearly don’t understand the complexities of Bitcoin, have fun staying poor!

Enjoy your DRM-free coffee, friend!

I thought you meant “point of sale”.

This article is an example of the “appeal to novelty” fallacy. “It’s newer, therefore it MUST be better.”

GNU/Linux is the more technically accurate term, but in practice, most people say “Linux” so that others know what they’re talking about.

And the reason for Tux is because Linus Torvalds was once bitten by a penguin.

Here’s some more excerpts from the book that I found amusing:

As you learned in Chapter 1, Linux is an open source operating system, meaning that anyone can download and modify it. Open source operating systems can benefit from improvements contributed by thousands of programmers. Some people choose open source operating systems out of an anti-establishment spirit; others choose them as a practical matter because they are free.

“Anti-establishment” isn’t the word I’d use, but I guess that fits.

One of the most popular distros for casual users, Ubuntu, comes with a DE called Unity (shown in Figure 5-16)

That hasn’t been true since 2017.

Be suspicious of free apps. In the best-case scenario, the app does what it says but installs ads or other software. In the worst-case scenario, the free app is, or contains, malware that might steal personal information from your device, encrypt your data files and demand a ransom for decryption, or monitor your device usage. Installing an app sometimes asks for specific permissions that the app will use. Be selective in allowing app privileges to items such as contact lists, GPS location, e-mail messages, and so on.

Okay, I’ll admit this is good advice if we’re talking about “freeware”, but there’s also free/libre/open-source software, which has all of the benefits of freeware, and also gives you the freedom to read/mofify/share the source code, if you wish.

As for that “malware” you speak of, you might as well be describing Google Chrome.

No media player supports all formats, so it’s important to find one that supports the formats of the clips you want to play.

Clearly, these people haven’t heard of VLC.

Codec is short for “compressor-decompressor”

It actually stands for “coder/decoder”.

And that’s just one page…
