If you’re new, IMHO you should be looking at the distro as a whole, not the DE specifically. Yeah, if you find one you mostly like but want to try other similar distros, it’s probably a good thing to stay with the same DE. However, it’s not something to get hung up on as distros often tweak the DE.

And to answer your question, Cinnamon. After years of distro-hopping, I’ve spent most of the past decade on Linux Mint.

That isn’t a critique of the justice system, that’s a critique of capitalism.

In Google Maps: Settings -> Navigation -> Guidance volume

Could kill me, yes. Easily? No. I would likely roll-over a car with it’s low hood, but a truck with it’s high, upright grill is likely to knock me down and then run over/drag me. It’s a similar situation with a motorcycle.

Also in Canada, the War Measures Act was used during the FLQ Crisis in 1970. While some may disagree with using martial law, I don’t think many would say it was used in a corrupt, power-grabbing way.

It’s not how easy they could kill him, it’s how easily they could not see him (for example, at a cross walk).

As for killing, one of those trucks could easily do me in and I’m 6’0" 280lbs.

You are running a device that is nearly a decade without updates?

I’m Canadian and my lower-bound estimate is 25¢/km(~€0.17/km), so 50km would be $12.50(€8.44). And I think it’s a lot more expensive to drive in Europe.

Besides the privacy concerns, AFAIK I know there’s no training/gradual-introduction for soon-to-be 16 year olds. That means, assuming some of them follow the rules, they’ll go from nothing to full-force Social Media. That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

There are levels of bad. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good (or in this case, only slightly better).

If you’re getting 650 Mbps, all of your hardware is definitely capable of running 1 Gbps

Just to clarify, this means there aren’t any 100 Mbps bottlenecks, not that the hardware can run at 1 Gbps. When Gigabit was new, a lot of hardware was rated for Gigabit but couldn’t actually get 1000Mbps. I know this is less of an issue now Gigabit is mature, but there’s still a possibility something is bottlenecking just due to the hardware not being able to keep up.

Those restrictions seem good, no? You don’t get subsidies to build out your manufacturing just to sell it off.

Not only do I have concerns about privacy concerns of age-verification, I think the “ban until 16, then unrestricted” is a very bad policy. Yes, social media is harmful to kids, but frankly, it’s harmful to everyone. If kids have no exposure to social media and no education on how to use it appropriately, it’s just going to concentrate the issues to teens/young adults.

When I open your link for radiotray-ng, it says, “ebruck released this 2 weeks ago.” You’ll also notice if you go to the Releases page, it doesn’t show the year for the current year, but does for past years.

Because you’re using an external device to extend the capabilities of the port. It can’t do that without the dock, so now you have two things to carry around.

Maybe that’s what the previous commenter meant, but they were bemoaning the number of ports, not dongles, etc. Even then, if you are using those ports, you are already carrying around extra accessories/dongles which might be replaced by the dock (or in my case, moving between stationary docks).

If you look at the comments on this, there are two distinct camps of people who will never agree: those who expect their laptop to be a self-contained unit that doesn’t require anything that wasn’t packaged with it to meet common use cases (which requires more ports), and those who are okay with docks and dongles and adapters.

Sure, and other commenters are pointing out that manufacturers are serving both groups.

I’m not sure why you think that’s untrue, but it is true. I literally have a dock that provides power to my laptop, as well as connecting it to my monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc. all over one USB type C cable.

It’s not like the power port is power only, or even only power or accessory. It can do both at the same time.

So, by percentage that’s:

2021,6.9%
2022,6.9%
2023,6.9%
2024,7.0%

I’m not sure those raises are justified, but we did just go through a period of high inflation, and even a business like Verisign has employees and other expenses that got more expensive. I’ll be interested to see where this story goes.

Example #1 is how he’s cozied up to crypto and talked about deregulating it.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining, I guess I jumped to conclusions. I’m just so used to people assuming that changing things is quick and easy when there’s actually a lot of legal wrangling.

I completely agree with you. Similar to how witnesses in court doesn’t have to swear in on a bible, there should definitely be alternatives!
