Does randomizing your MAC create any usability issues? Needing to log in repeatedly, getting bumped off network due to looking like a different device, anything else hindering usability?
Which is why I said "linux as a whole". Many distros will try to undo the nerdery and neckbeardism that is built into the parent distros but as a whole, linux is going to always be less welcoming to a new user than someone that's used to useless warnings and repeated password entries for elevated privileges. Being safer and being new-user-friendly rarely go hand in hand.
Yes but surely you're aware that even the most new-user-friendly distros and their tools aren't necessarily aimed at new users.
That warning is a perfect example of how Linux developers choose which hill to die on. They post a warning for an app that everyone knows can deliver bad times to two camps of users; those that know and don't care and those that don't understand the warning. If we could quantify the helpfulness of that warning, odds are that it saved 0 users from malicious action from that avenue of attack.
Never expect Linux as a whole to be "helpful" to the new crowd.
Sorry, my OP wasn't very clear in my hope. By not historical, I should have said "distant historical, more current so I could understand how communism would interact or be influenced by today's technological advancements and influence".
Are you saying that we've yet to see a long-established communist system in recent history so all examples will be less than representative, since they are tainted by the previous systems or abolished prior to being able to fully establish the system?
I can only imagine how muddled my part of the discussion is and I'm sorry for that. I'm basically starting at ground 0 and don't even really know what to call what I'm looking to learn about yet so I call things by the wrong terminology, making it hard for you guys to help me.
With the prices on the Pi5 your potentially getting into the price range where it might make sense to look at the Beelinks mini PCs, based around a 12th gen Intel.
Wow, wish I had known about that before. That looks amazing! I ordered one and will give it a shot. Do you happen to know of a community based around mini-pcs? If not Lemmy, forum, etc. I use places like Tomshardware but would love to see things like the Beelink when they pop up.
I see. I went a bit pricier and am running a refurbed EliteDesk 705 G4-Mini for one of my linux desktops but I'm also running linux desktops with a Pi4 and 5 elsewhere. All three have been working great but as you mentioned, running linux on ARM takes away a lot of software options, unfortunately.
No more than any other social network and more likely to be less so. This just seems to be a justification for future government action against the app/company.
I appreciated the summary. If you can be bought by a coffee company enough to make it your entire description summary as opposed to your actual content, we can rest assured that the bar is very low in regards to what you will tell your loyal followers in exchange for a very small kickback.
I absolutely love that the video summary is trying to sell me coffee. Clearly a reliable and honest news source and not just some dude hawking sponsored product while sowing division.
However, instead of the market naturally transitioning to these cheaper and cleaner energy sources, fossil fuel companies are leveraging their enormous political influence to hinder this shift. They employ tactics such as lobbying, spreading disinformation, and funding politicians who support fossil fuels, all in an effort to maintain their dominance and profits in the energy market.
Which lets you know we don't live in a democracy. This is the definition of an oligarchy.
It looks like its goal is to make everything less comfortable, not more.
