The question should be “How do countries/EU accept most of their citizens surveilled by a monopolistic company subject to a foreign country’s intelligence agency?”.

I don’t think it’s my personal responsibility to care unless I’m casting a vote. I don’t have enough extra energy to avoid surveillance anyway. Expecting billions of people each to take personal responsibility of finding out how to de-google, de-apple, de-microsoft, de-amazon, de-meta is too much. What percentage of people can install and configure Linux and Graphene OS and move everything from normal social media to Lemmy and Mastodon? We see the answer in current reality.

the good of humanity as a whole

My headcanon is that the Borg in Star Trek began with an AGI with that exact main goal.

Greedy rich distracting us with culture war to avoid a class war. Russia, China, North Korea trying to sow discord. Conclusion: Make lying illegal. Tax billionaires to extinction to avoid societal collapse.

If they’re doing mock fuck around, they should also do mock find out, otherwise the kids won’t learn what voting does.

Nobody wants that. It’s bug report worthy.

Big money / venture capitalists prefer to fund people of their kind: the ruthless. They also accept the spineless they can boss around. That’s gone on for centuries, so the good funders have been trampled and gone extinct.

The whole CLI. Linux should automatically generate default GUIs from manpages and code, to be developed further by the crowd of users on the desktop. It’s pointless to handcraft both interfaces one app at a time.

I like Linux Mint (compared to Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows) because usually right-clicking takes me closer to the solution I’m looking for, but it doesn’t allow me to dig deep enough. It should be discoverable all the way from the desktop to what makes it tick. Think of Smalltalk by Alan Kay in Xerox PARC in the 1970s, or what it would be now had it been mainstream all this time. #discoverability #explorability

No, can’t be lack of anything, it was the regular Mint 21.3 installer image overwriting Debian on a normal ext4 formatted partition. Nothing should have gone wrong. Reinstalled with formatting on, and it started working.

“Hadn’t” means “had not” (not done in the past), not “had not” (lacked possession). I’m Finnish and might be wrong.

Mine did that when I chose not to format the “/” partition when installing.

Why take a screenshot of an image?

Did it really fulfil the requirement?

This may have been the purpose all along.

Except naturally occurring, discovered, onomatopoeic words such as bang, boom, cuckoo, tweet, drip, splish, splash, slosh.

About 4, I’d start long term storage from 80% because self-discharge rate is 30% per year in room temperature, or 15% per year in the fridge, which is the best storage temperature. Also, Battery University said in some article that 65% charge is optimal for storage, which is ~3.95V/cell at rest for most chemistries.
