  • I'm not an expert but ...

    • I think Fedora and OpenSUSE are the best (with Fedora leading). Well-funded and they take security seriously.
    • Arch and Bazzite are filling specific niches.
    • ReactOS and NixOS I think are in beta, but I'm not paying much attention to either.
    • In terms of desktop environments I think KDE Plasma leads the pack. MATE is strong on accessibility though.
    • Phones won't start including a Linux desktop.
    • Browser apps will be a thing of the past, you'll need to install either a mobile or desktop app to use YouTube or Netflix or whatever.
    • Sites like YouTube will also probably remove the subscriptions feed (which only like 1-2% of people use).
    • Vendor lock-in efforts will be more forceful.
    • I think more people will start touching grass.

    And putting AI aside is a bit weird since it's the big news story so:

    • Companies will replace workers with generative AI, and as a result essential services will be worse (but more profitable).
    • Generative AI will outside of the above be used as a (low-reliability but low-effort) search engine, for memes, and in animation.
  • I would try doing this for my Intel WiFi/Bluetooth card that doesn't support Linux (WiFi works anyway though). Since the CTRL key is dead (again) and the whole build of it is not to my liking I think I'll get an old Windows 10 laptop to replace the whole system instead.

  • My first thought was standardization. Install all the fonts in the world (or only say you have the default Windows fonts installed), lie about the OS and say you use Windows 11, pick a standard canvas, etc.

    Randomization, that is also an approach that can work too, and probably with basically no compromises except having your activity be frequently flagged as suspicious by Proton Mail, presumably.

  • Oh, I see, I thought you could only pick one on that drop-down menu. Which when combined with the warning that deselecting "unspecified" would hide basically all posts, makes the menu seem useless.

  • The establishment honestly really dropped the ball TBH. Like, if Cuomo was the best they could do, then it's kinda obvious why.

    Some of Mamdani's policies I take issue with. Rent freezes are a really janky solution as opposed to land taxes, and free public transport is not really the answer to New York's transit problems. I'm Australian so I don't know enough about the political feasibility of the alternatives though.

  • Likes:

    • Small size, which makes it better. Quality over quantity.
    • That it's not American.
    • Abundance of highly technical Linux/Security/Privacy discussion (I assume, could be technobabble for all I know).

    Dislikes:

    • No mute button. I want to see what the pro-Russia people post in the Privacy, Degoogle, and Linux communities, but I don't want to hear their replies when it comes to politics. Actually, maybe there should be a "block only within this community" button.
    • Replies don't ever load. I have to open the comment in an incognito the see the replies to said comment.
    • Can't select a language for my posts on this instance. And in the Australia instance I have to scroll down through 100 languages to select English. I should be able to select the languages I know in my profile and only choose from them for my post.
    • Still need a Reddit account for r/manga and r/liminalspace. Probably always will.
  • It's clear Mark Rutte is talking to Trump like he's talking to a child. He's buttering Trump up because it's clear superficial gestures are enough to please him.

    It does reflect positively on the influence of America, but not on Trump himself.
