Congress. For not taxing carbon emissions according to the damage they cause.

(And other countries’ legislatures, but as an American voter, I first need to hold my own legislature responsible.)

My gaming PC dual boots Debian and Ubuntu

The OS itself, Debian. If I have to pick a component, Mate Panel. Compared to the Windows 11 start menu, it’s useful, customizableand has no ads. My IT department at work can’t even figure out how to remove the Windows 11 start menu ads from my computer.

Imagine all the cosmic background radiation and starlight of 4 billion years, as measured in the outer universe, landing on Earth in a time-dilated period of only 7 days. Earth would be cooked. By my calculation, the surface of the Earth would get up to 1900 Kelvin.

There are things I miss from Windows 95, 98, NT, and XP. There’s nothing I miss from Windows 7, 10, or 11. Everything I cared about had been deleted by the time of Windows 7.

Unless you count everything Google as malware, in that case yes

Yes, but more urgently, Facebook.

If Motorola is willing to have a non-shitty operating system, why can’t they just put a non-shitty operating system on at the factory? All the stock Android OS I’ve seen lately, including Motorola’s, are crappy, have privacy settings disabled, and in many cases are full of unremovable malware.

Try to get as much as possible off Windows. You can transfer the remaining Windows-only programs to a virtual machine in snapshot mode, or if necessary, a real machine with a backed up image, that you can reimage regularly.

Not everyone can get off Windows. But get as much as you can. Isolate what’s left.

The simplest explanation is that OP doesn’t have good opsec, and got a few tracking cookies after deleting cookies, before setting up their proxy/VPN. Then, on the VPN, the advertiser recognized their VPN IP address, and chose to exclude that from generating location data, deferring instead to the location indicated in their existing tracking cookies.

Privacy is hard. The system is rigged against privacy. You have to do everything perfectly, because one simple mistake could leak your IP address.

If you’re holding hands tight enough that you can feel it at all, you’re already exerting more than 2 milliNewtons of force.

As a STEM graduate, I would much rather hold hands with an econ graduate than a business graduate. Economists can do real good for the world, while MBAs seem to be mostly harmful.

Aluminum foil works. At least, I can’t receive calls or texts through it last I tried.

Get the heavy duty kind. It’s not any more conductive, but is more durable against tearing.

Note that a gap in your phone’s tracking data can look suspicious at times. Sometimes it’s less suspicious to leave your phone at home.

Unfortunately, I think most platforms for novels allow AI, so they end up full of AI trash.

Instead of using a platform, try looking up authors you’ve read before and liked. Then see where they publish. Or try and find a fandom for the genre you like, and ask humans for recommendations

The problem is that the infographic says “of all the mammals on Earth”, which means individuals, not biomass. So the infographic is objectively false.

I’ve never heard anyone say that Flatpaks could result in losing access to the terminal.

My only problem with Flatpaks are the lack of digital signature, neither from the repository nor the uploader. Other major package managers do use digital signatures, and Flatpaks should too.

OBS worked pretty well for me last time I used it, using the basic package Debian provided.

First choice: 292 K

Second choice: 9 C

If we’re talking only outdoor temperature, third choice is 100 F, because air conditioning exists, and my peppers would thrive.

If it’s ambient indoor temperature too, then I pick 9 F, which is unpleasant, but survivable. At 100 F indoors, you will be constantly sweating for the rest of your life.

The cell membrane is the wall of the cell. I know it’s less catchy, but human cells don’t have a cell wall.

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged
