From the post:
Every time Trump says or posts something bizarre — whether it’s a typo, a wild conspiracy theory, or an AI-generated image of himself as the pope — social media explodes. Critics mock, journalists fact-check, and late-night shows run with it. But what if that’s exactly the point?
Trump’s daily “blunders” aren’t random. They’re part of a deliberate strategy to dominate the news cycle by triggering predictable outrage.
So ready to have my brain messages harvested for ad targeting
I haven’t been a mint user for a while, but the fact that the mint folks specifically release MATE/XFCE versions is a good sign that they are tested for compatibility. You can try those versions on liveusb, too.
I’m guessing here, but the “less terminal needed” parts of Mint are probably specific tools and GUI settings managers they have put together to be more user friendly. if you search something like [name of Mint settings manager or tool] XFCE compatible, you’ll likely get an explanation. You might want to check out their Matrix chat room with specific questions: https://app.element.io/#/room/#linuxmint-space:matrix.org
Mint comes with a few desktop environment/window manager options: https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE. It’s also capable of running KDE and basically any other option, you just have to install it in a slightly more manual way.
They will try to fill instances with bots, propaganda accounts, etc. They’ll DDOS them. They’ll try to get them shut down at the hosting level or cut off their donations by having credit card companies blacklist them
I think mine was gentoo, waaaay back in the day. It didn’t go great lol.
I’m loving opensuse rn though!
I would never trust a billionaire to do anything for us. If he doesn’t just carve out an exception for only people like himself at first, he’ll still lobby to have new restrictions on sharing if they threaten his business model.
It’ll end up being a back-and-forth between him and the IP companies, so if he has enough leverage, they’ll just find a way to give him what he wants without doing so for regular folks.
Very cool! For the user scores, are you using monthly active users, total registered users, or something else?
Thanks for this list! There are some fun suggestions here that’ll help me get into peertube, but Russel Brand is a conspiracy theorist and far-right pundit, recently charged with rape & sexual assault. Suggesting you delete him from this list.
It’s just an excuse. They want to get rid of him because they don’t like his politics and he’s an activist. Whether the state categorizes you as a citizen, resident, tourist, undocumented, etc. should have nothing to do with your right to speak out.
Tolerating them is a form of support. They make spaces unsafe for others.
