Can someone try to explain, relatively simply, what cryptographic verification actually entails? I've never really looked into it.

As a noobie to Linux I have a question: I decided to try ubuntu (haven't yet) because of what I think is called the Gnome Desktop Environment, which from what I understand is what gives it all of those sleek animations and tab switcher and stuff. Am I correct about this? Or do all distros have this? I care a lot about aesthetics and stuff like that—the main reason I'm interested in Linux, other than learning about something new, is the idea of being able to fully customize the look and feel

Yeah, I was being a bit purposefully ignorant that day

The only game I ever considered pre-ordering was Hogwarts legacy. I've always loved the world of Harry Potter, and it looked like everything I've ever asked for. I was going to pre-order it, but I wasn't able to, for financial reasons. Then the game came out, and after watching a video I was like... Oh, this is boring. I learned my lesson.

What's Narrm Invasion day?

Ikr? English is hard /s

Okay, what's OSM?

Its definitely not true that science and religion have to contradict each other. Take Christianity—you can easily believe in scientific methods to discover the way the world works, while believing that 'God' is the Creator of those things.

Agreed. I think (and I'm not sponsored lol) that the only product from YouTube that's actually good is Harry's razors

Wait, people actually hire people to clean their house?

I thought that was only in movies. Have you ever heard of just.... Picking up after yourself?

Honestly asking for second opinions: Looking at the report of the actual proposal, it seems to only target sexual content containing people under 18? Am I missing something?

Ah, I understand

Yogurt. Not bad actually.

Thanks a lot, this is a great explanation! You should be a teacher

Ah, that would explain it. I have a bad habit of assuming people mean people, and I like ignoring that politicians exist :p

I think maybe I'm misunderstanding—are you saying that valuing free software is more important than valuing FOSS? FOSS is inherently free, no? Free Open Source Software. I would understand if I was talking about open source in general, but FOSS does include being free. Maybe that's not what you meant.

Interesting to know that steam, gog, and epic (specifically) all work well for you, I've heard mixed results with Epic, some say it doesn't work. Maybe I've gotten wrong info.

I have an older laptop, and as soon as I can upgrade to something better, I'm going to use it as a Linux practice.

Honestly surprised that I hear this so much. For context, I am not a Republican, so I'm not defending them, but every Republican I've talked to has been anti Russia to the max. They might disagree on the amount of money that we send Ukraine ("Why are we sending billions over there when we can't even figure out our own country" comes up a lot) but I've never heard a single one say anything in the support of Russia. It's so confusing when I hear people say conservatives are pro-Russia... Different ecosystems I guess

Can someone tell me what IPO is, and act like I'm not an idiot XD

I don't run Linux (though I'm admittedly more interested in it than I used to be) but the reddit API stuff definitely made me learn more about foss, and value it more.
