  • are domains containing 'zip' near the end a legitimate threat?

    Jump

  • I do not disagree, though I'm curious on your take of .COM since that has always had the same issue.

  • Beautiful duck feeding in our bay. Wood duck, I believe.

  • I'm pretty sure that duck is flesh, not wood.

    What's a fun and harmless way to embarrass your girlfriend?

  • What's up with distrowatch and MX Linux?

    Jump

  • Even at that age, some computers can do plenty.

    I built my "old" gaming desktop in 2009. It currently runs Linux with Plasma. I still use it to do 3D modeling for 3D printing.

  • What's up with distrowatch and MX Linux?

    Jump

  • They seem to be Italian.

    MX is a branch off antiX, and they put "anti-fascist" at the top of their homepage.

  • Fellow Lemmite cat lovers, I'm vibecoding a bunch of games about cats. All free to play, no trackers, no money, all just for fun. Enjoy!

  • They have learned how to make garbage.

  • "This Week in Plasma" brings the news that System Settings' pages become "smart" and can mark themselves as "not relevant" if, for example, you do not have the hardware to use them. They can also

  • I'm happy that KDE defines "smart" as "hey user, you probably don't need this."

    As opposed to Apple's "the system is going to predict things to make your life easier, and will be wrong much of the time."

  • I was just tossing out a random number based on a bunch of posts I've seen. Don't overthink it. :)

  • What's up with distrowatch and MX Linux?

    Jump

  • Speaking just from my experience:

    It's small, it's stable, and it supports legacy hardware.

    In addition, its Xfce implementation is polished and easy to use. It has a straightforward package installation utility.

    I've used a whole bunch of lightweight Linux distros, and MX's level of polish is uncommon for a distro that can easily live on a 16GB drive

  • MX has become my go-to for low-power, outdated computers.

    It runs on a toaster. It installs on 64-bit systems with 32-bit EFI. The base install supports touchscreens. It fits on a 16GB SSD with room to spare. 2GB RAM is plenty. It has an active development community.

    If your computer is less 5 years old, there are better options. But if you're trying to keep a Chromebook out of the junk yard, MX is a good choice.

  • Are there any examples of a religion giving scientific knowledge that could not have been known to people at the time?

    Jump

  • No. By definition of what you're asking, some person practicing the religion would have to know it already.

    Also, assume spherical potatoes.

  • Couldn't big-tech shut out non-monopoly laws by saying that it's meant to be like that on "their" product?

    Jump

  • Not everyone subscribes to "numbers go up lol" as the only indicator of success.

  • It's only "failing" if you take a corporatist, America-centric view.
