Oh, that's a great idea. The whole concept of immutable OSes passed me by - I've read the terms before at some point, but I have no idea how they work and which problems they solve. Definitely ideal candidates for my experiment.
There have been a lot of articles in press about TikTok being responsible for the rise of interest in literature by young people, as the article also mentions.
At the end, it probably was either a planted story, or memetic evolution triggered by one journalist noticing something in their environment that wasn't a general trend.
I gave Jami a very extensive go with family, and sadly it didn't deliver a usable experience if your device is a mobile one or the network is not a fixed, high-speed connection.
I'm going to take "favourite" at face value, i.e. that I actually like, not just that I am forced to use because the alternative doesn't exist (e.g. my bank's app or the post-office's app) or isn't viable (PDF editors on Android).
Libby, the lending library app. I could avoid it and stick to physical media and piracy, but it's a well-designed app with a decent catalogue and given that it's a library and not me purchasing DRMed files, I found the ethical proposition there tolerable.
The text ends with an appeal to donate to KDE's fund-raiser, so they are asking for money.
Whether that makes it an advertisement and/or whether all advertisements are undesirable on a link-sharing board are independent questions. Personally, even if this is an advertisement by some reasonable definition, I did find it helpful enough and KDE got one conversion out of me because I downloaded one of their apps.
The KDE Itinerary's platform layout maps are a good sell. I'll try it next to DB Navigator on my next trip. KDE Apps on Android are a bit unstable, at least on my phone, but at least now they load. Last time I tried I could barely get them to even do that.
Homophobia was so widespread in the ambient environment for my entire life, so it's not easy to say. The earliest incident that I specifically remember which fits the textbook definition was during a high-school Physics class, were a teacher known to go on about her personal views on anything all the time once, and one day homophobia was on the menu.
The reason it didn't stink as much as other incidents was that a group of kids that recently found out I was gay immediately started challenging her (with very naive arguments, but their heart was in the right place).
Looking again, it seems like more packages are available for the Tumbleweed stream, compared to Leap. I was testing Leap.
