Thanks for the advice. Wanted to give Cinnamon a go, didn’t go well when I tried installing it on Kubuntu (permissions with access to important files held in KWallet were all screwed up and half the stuff wasn’t working so I kinda gave up).

Have always wondered how badly it could bork my system if I tried to “turn” my beautiful Kubuntu install into a Linux Mint install.

Anyone has any advice or experience of doing it without butchering everything? And yes, I would like to stay on KDE.

I’m not clear on what you mean. The UK is a pretty religious country (in terms of culture, e.g. the protestant “ethos” is omnipresent). Its root are very much felt in its politics too. In school, it’s not shoved down the throats of kids (unless you go to a religious school but in that case, it’s more understandable as those are a choice).

Is that more or less what you’re asking about?

Should never have left it behind to be honest.

If you read the developer’s background and reasons for the fork, it’s actually a lot more… cringe.

Pretty much, the guy lost his shit because Mozilla is woke / SJW / DEI and all the lovely buzz words used by certain people.

Nobody said it wasn’t how it was intended to work, we know that. That’s the whole point of unions.

Honest question here: do you know what community you’re in? This isn’t worldnews.

When the media talks about recession (same as your papers, your favourite news site, it’s the media in general), they mean “shit’s bad and you’re struggling”. Same in school, when you learn about a recession, you learn about the simplified definition. That’s fine. I don’t care what your economics book is saying, I deal with real science, not imaginary shit.

So when people start complaining because their living conditions are getting worse, the same media and the people who suck up to them for some reason (wink wink) come back with “akshully, I think you’ll find things aren’t that bad because technically, this is not a recession”.

The same thing happens when a government counts “unemployment”. They define it in such ridiculously restrictive ways that every time they report on it, it magically goes down.

“Oh, you’ve gotten out of bed at least once in the past 12 hours? Well, that’s a job, buddy! Well done, you’re now self-employed and can’t be counted as unemployed.” Telling me “unemployment” is down is meaningless and I couldn’t care less. Telling me “it’s not a recession so everything is fine, trust me bro” is just as meaningless.

Yeah… not buying the “sorry we had to kill hundreds of people, we were just following orders”.

Let’s just say that when you resort to the Nuremberg defense, you’ve lost.

They come out with all the security updates (anywhere between 2 weeks and a month after Google pushes them out). They don’t wait for a feature update to push out security updates.

It’s a bit annoying (I know I’m still not getting it on mine despite the announcements), but their handling it of major updates (performance wise) have been decent on my end. I do love my FP5, but it’s a bit hit and miss according to experience I read about online. I know my experience of their headphones (the most recent ones, the wireless buds) has been horrendous but I would recommend the FairPhone personally.

Still not getting it on mine 😖

to be fair to the incompetent people in law enforcement, I do believe “trying to kill a presidential candidate slated to win and being a millimeter away from getting it done” would justify relying on a 0-day.

“We tried 0000. Tony, write up a press release about how incredible we are at our job and how we spent 400% of our usual overtime on it and send it to the tech press. Make sure they mention we need to triple next year’s budget for security and shit.”

Exactly. The article doesn’t shy away from a bit of free publicity for Cellerite. Which is nowhere near as much of a magic bullet as the “tech media” makes it out to be.

How do I know it? By doing the most basic of research by heading to their website and looking at their manuals and documentation.

And Cellerite won’t tell you this publicly because their bottom line depends on their ability to massively overprice their services which they sell to technically illiterate people.

Any article that mentions Cellerite without a caveat about the dubiousness of their publicity can be disregarded and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Long time FF user, things really aren’t looking good for Mozilla as a whole.

I’d fire nabakov immediately for example (at the least)

You didn’t read it, did you?

And I’m not saying it’s a good book because it isn’t.
