  • we may actually see a change in status-quo when it comes to china, it is also possible that europe starts warming up more to india, indonesia, brazil and other lesser powers are relations with the US deteriorates, these are the ones i would put my money on when it comes to new allies

  • Trump might be an idiot, but he is not so much of an idiot to take on the entirety of Europe, who, likely when this happens will have new allies besides the US

  • They barely could handle a war with small Ukraine, a full scale war with NATO is a no-go; and I'm quite certain Putin won't live that long

  • This one has a lot less sex than the others, but still does, it should be labeled NSFW

  • Living in a tropical country is awesome, just take seeds, put them in soil and enjoy food the entire year; my plants are doing awesome, been using organic matter coming straight off my kitchen as compost for ages now, rarely see problems with nutrients.

  • Thinking on switching to linux

    Jump

  • SELinux, wine (and other apps) installed via user flatpak with proper permissions configued, coupled with ufw or firewalld, secure boot enabled and an immutable system should be fine, no?

  • On 5, i mean I don't see how you can switch tasks with it, like you know, a dock, or a task manager widget in plasma or windows.

  • Latest plasma is not confusing at all tho, it works really well, in fact I have it setup in my SO's mother and father laptop and they never once managed to break it, and never asked me how to do anything, just figured it out on their own, and they are not great with computers, I will they you that

  • I can point out some immediate problems:

    1 - I can't see the cursor, hope this is because of the screenshot tool you're using, but if it's too small elderly people may lose it.

    2 - the icons and text on the top panel are light grey... The panel is white, this provides terrible contrast and is yet another thing elderly people won't see well

    3 - there are two ways to switch apps, the top panel, and the dock, this is needlessly confusing

    4 - most people (inclusiding elderly) are most accostumed to windows, which you have changed in XFCE In favour of looks; if you wish to create something people can use with ease, you better go for the windows look to avoid friction.

    5 - this doesn't look like a very functional dock, which didn't you use plank, or crystal dock? That would provide better functionality.

    6 - why did you think gnome 2 was a good base for your project? Gnome 2 might be cool and all, but as all old Linux interfaces it is needlessly complex and quite outdated usability-wise, unless the elderly people you're talking about are nostalgic Linux veterans they won't find this amusing, intuitive, or otherwise familiar to use, much for the contrary

    Also why are you reposting this?

  • Minecraft is getting a graphics overhaul with the Vibrant Visuals update

    Jump

  • Yeah, have you tried the simply optimised modpack too? It is really nice.

    Still tho, the issue is really vanilla, they haven't fixed it, sucks performance wise

  • Minecraft java currently is really laggy, this looks like a nightmare to run on low to mid range devices
