To be fair, the blog post details how they plan on avoiding such an issue in the future

Just a language thing tho, in my native they are called hunchback whales 👀 not quite as impressive

Their name also kind of sounds like a middle of the pack car brand

Well I agreed that it is an ultimately bad change, but I can see how the beginner mode mentality would lead to this conclusion. Provide the new user with the most stable and bug free experience possible, and after some time they will probably turn that setting off on their own to get all that popular software.

I dont know, it is just the general consensus on every “I want to drop windows but i am scared of Linux” post ever made, and from my personal experience I found it actually too much like windows (made a live boot before I chose another distro).

I think it is a stupid change myself, but as far as I (recent Linux convert) can tell, mint is considered the go to distro for people coming freshly over from windows, and decidedly caters to beginners. A default setting for maximum user protection makes sense for that.

I have a pretty good memory for faces, just really not for names. I know where and when I met someone but I can’t tell you their name even if we met a bunch of times.

Interested myself. So far I had only good experiences as a customer, though i hear they are pretty rough towards vendors. It is also widely accepted where I live (EU), which makes it very convenient.

But i am always eager to stop using a corporate product or service.

The above poster isnt really correct. We have an actual saying that is the literal translation: "Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm ". And it means exactly what you suggest, a child being very much like one of their parents in one way or another.

Like father, like son exists as well, “Wie der Vater so der Sohn”.

The contradictory goals for privacy displayed here are caused by corporations and intelligence agencies lobbying behind closed doors to get that data. And with the think of the children / anti pedophilia rhetoric people blindly agree. Because who wants to be against something that helps to protect kids right?

In Germany we have the wahl-o-mat, translates roughly into elect-o-mat.

This is a website loaded with all available parties and their political demands. You then answer a few dozen questions to identify your own opinions on the different subjects and then runs a comparison. You then end up with a tiered list of political parties you align with the most.

Perhaps a similar tool exists for other languages and countries as well

Got it, just switched over myself because I liked the differences in the description. Thanks for letting me know!

Am somewhat late to the (third) party, why are most people here using a newpipe fork? Is the original compromised somehow?

I think he does alright, everyone has a bad day now and then. Can’t blame him for slipping once

It seems insane to me that Americans use pesticides on their own garden and lawn. Do you not walk on there? have your kids and pets play outside? What are you even trying to kill with the poison?

We have more cultures, languages, and national identities clustered in Europe than anywhere else in the world. Naturally people want an instance for their own.

Thanks guys, let’s hope I can figure it out (have only used the DL with GUI)

I was just alluding to our racism 👀

Do people also view kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species as “ranks” of some sort, with some intrinsically greater value being given to some over others?

Well, for humans we most certainly do

It is at nobodys cost, there are no actual people involved here. And why a hypothetical sex worker would be sweating in church is also quote obvious unless you are intentionally obtuse:

If they go to church, they are religious. If they are religious then their occupation is heavily at odds with their faith, so naturally they would be sweating bullets in a church, provided they believe in that mumbo jumbo, because their all seeing god (and possibly the congregation) are silently judging them for it.

Also the status quo doesn’t need to be “challenged”, sex work is legal and normal where I live.
