Ubuntu doesn’t respect the spirit of free open-source software. They keep jamming stuff into their distro to increase their control. There are plenty of alternatives. (E.g. Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedora or Mint for general-purpose distros.)

People will still use it once to download another browser.

Personally I admire someone who is prepared to publicly take some personal risk in order to fight white supremacists.

No need to use YouTube. Their own website has the whole talk dubbed into English, among other language options.

In a regulatory filing today, L&F revealed that the contract’s value has been written down to just $7,386.

No, that is not a typo. $2.9 billion to roughly $7,400.

That’s quite dramatic.

I really think it’s capitalism, consumerism, individualism and decades of exploitation and propaganda more than the lead. Lead will make a person slightly dumber, angrier and more impulsive, but not as dumb as American politics today. Don’t give the fascists lead as an excuse.

We’re heading for a time when you can’t practically own and control a general-purpose computer. Open-source software is more important than ever, but we need hardware to run it on, and that’s going away. So don’t throw away your old computers. One day we’re going to need them.

Worthwhile topic, bad article. Most of it is regurgitated, incoherent reddit comments.

Sandboxie is old, but these days Windows has a sandbox built in. You could use that (basically a lightweight VM) or a full VM. Windows also has a built-in hypervisor for VMs that helps them run efficiently.

It’ll be China.

Welp. Sorry, kids.

Only Office has a UI very similar to Word. I generally prefer LibreOffice for its functionality, but Only Office has an easy layout for Word users to learn.

Like Android? It’s getting more closed every day.

The worst thing I’ve found with the algorithm is that it continually tries to steer me towards right-wing crap like Jordan Petersen and various manosphere posers, even though I watch a lot of LGBTQ+ and Marxist channels. And if ever you come to YouTube with no account on a clean machine on a new IP address, it pushes almost entirely right-wing propaganda videos.

Does China not have any companies that can make RAM? Seems like an opportunity to grab some market share. But maybe they don’t, or maybe they’d prefer to sell it to AI companies too.

We’ll be getting the opportunity to rent low-powered cloud computers at premium prices, and if you want to keep your data that costs extra.

Using your money.

Shut up and get back down the mines or your robot manager-security-cop will have to terminate you. Meet your billionaire-enforced quota and you’ll live to enjoy another day of mining.
