Wikipedia is aweful for anything controversial, of which geopolitics is merely a good example.

Probably fine for basic stuff like geology or the Napoleonic Wars or whatever.

It's not. Which makes this a particularly powerful indictment of a once-reputable mainstream news site.

Oh that explains a bit. Who's decent these days?

It was probably the neck width that helped.

It's just the name of a racial category. There are no black people either.

Only in a social context where "liberal" just means "polite".

Yeah that's not good.

Oh. Oh no. This is so wrong.

Debian Retro Universal Gaming System

Someone make that a thing.

Maybe folks are gonna start learning that just because they made content for a service, doesn't mean that they control it.

The thesis from my skim pf the article was just that Netflix is shifting from weird/experimental award bait to the sort of normie stuff you'd see on TNT, USA, or other mainstream/non-niche basic cable.

With Suits being a quintessential example of such a turn.

I guess you'd start with a dupe check or pre db site to see what known Denuvo games have a cracked version, and when it came out. Example: https://predb.me/

xfce: what should it stand for?

One issue is not simply attitudinal (I have the right!), but habit/expectation (this is normal!).

A lot of people already structure their lives around cars. It's hard to get someone to go from "yes, it is normal and right for me to travel 40+ miles a day for errands" to "it is unreasonable for someone to visit these 5 places across town in a single afternoon".

Spice extends life, but I'm not seeing the eyes of ibad here.

all of the ideas on how to make that work

Tbf, that seems like it would depend on the flavor of anarchism.

How?

Most of the top answers are good so I will emphasize something that others have mentioned as well, which is that one of the lovely things about Linux is that your GUI, your window manager or desktop environment (different things I know, don't @ me) is up to you.

My personal favorite is xfce, but obviously a lot of people like KDE, Cinnamon, and Mate (mah-tay). There's of course a whole world of options beyond those, when you're choosing a distribution, go to the distro's website, and look at the screenshots. If they have different versions for different desktop environments or window managers, look at all the screenshots. Try to pick one that has a look and layout that looks comfortable to you.

Also backup your home directory. And remember you can always distro hop.

qmmp is very similar.
