1 year agoI think it’s fucking adorable. And kudos to the Uncle for using it as a learning moment instead of just brushing her off or doing it for her. Curiosity should be encouraged and this is a great example why.

Kiddies who like the idea of using a ‘hacker’ distro even though they’d never exceed a Ubuntu LiveCD usecase.
I’ve gotten a few to reconsider after pointing out that all the tools in Kali rely on lax permissions and security flaws remaining on their system for them to be effective when targeting others.
79·1 year agoTrust isn’t a sliding scale, bro. If you have reason to distrust slightly, you still have a reason to distrust. You’re just trying to convince yourself one form of a breach of trust isn’t as bad as another.
And honestly, size of the company has little to do with it overall: Brave has been verrrrrrrry fucking shady.
More open formats, more open Internet! Down with Google!
Erm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP
WebP was first announced by Google on 30 September in 2010 as a new open format for lossy compressed true-color graphics on the web, producing files that were smaller than JPEG files for comparable image quality.[9]
For as long as they continue to support and release code for open formats, there’s hardly an argument here. There are many complaints to be had about Google.
Yours are none of them.
Webp: Open source, source code available to download.
But yes, Google is trying to own the modern web. :eyeroll:

My Acer C710 still going strong, repurposed as a 3D Printer host. Also with Gallium OS. I just can’t seem to kill it.
“being a lot of work” = I couldn’t follow a guide.
Honestly, Chromebooks are among some of the easiest systems to boot a Linux distro on. Far easier than, say, Bootcamp.
- Exceptions apply to enterprise or education enrolled systems as they lock those devices down. Corporations and schools, however, do have the option to release the hardware and allow modifications to the system.
I have a Mac Mini that has to be dumped because Apple is no longer providing OS updates to it. Just because you can continue to use it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to do so. iOS and OSX are being increasingly targeted especially as the inertia against upgrading systems that work just fine is highest among the technologically illiterate.
Right. What’s stopping anyone from maintaining the ONE PURE SYSTEM-FREE DISTRO ™? If it’s -that- much of an issue, surely there’s enough of a userbase to justify maintaining such a distro and suite of apps? We’re running an operating system whose very foundation exists due to forks and splits… some of which went on to be extremely popular defaults. Instead we get an insufferable rant blaming millennials for everything. Literally. Author blames millennials for Firefox, Librewolf and Thunderbird apparently expediting the death of non-systemd setups.
And then we have a spiel about Chrome… “which is a violent security violator bootstrapping itself deep into the base system”… oh lord. Yeah. Someone forgot to take his meds. We’re about one step away from someone asking him where on the Android plush doll the author touched by the Big Bad Google Man in a Trenchcoat.
Angry old man angry that the world hasn’t remained exactly the same for his benefit alone.
15 years and the EU has to force Apple to allow users to sideload apps of their choice… To have something we’ve had from the start on Android.
And for those who want to complain about what sideloading brings… No, nobody is going to force you to sideload apps on your precious iDevice. It’s just preferable to have the option in the first place.
Sideloaded 32bit apps will still run on 14. It’s only dropping 32bit from Play Store.
32bit apps will still run, they will just need to be sideloaded.
Tell me which of these apps are version limited on my Android 12 device…
I first ran xUbuntu as a main on a Chromebook that loaded it as a ChrUbuntu install so that I could use Linux on something dedicated and full time while also keeping my desktop intact.
Once I got used to the workings of the system, I came to prefer it in every way.
Want vlc? Install it from the software center gui or use apt. No need to download the exe from a shady download reposting site. Same for every equivalent app that was (exactly or close enough) available for Windows. Never had to worry about the integrity of the apps in the repositories.
Then the Windows 7 updates happened. Forced telemetry, Win10 installer preloaded. An accident later and Win10 was on my system. It pissed me off so much that I wiped the SSD and installed xUbuntu on my desktop. Had already been running it on the Chromebook for a few years so the switch was painless. Didn’t miss the games I could no longer play, not in the least, just for the added stability (no random restarts due to updated, especially not when rendering a multi day job) and ease of being able to install nearly everything I wanted from the repos.
I grew up on windows. Used dos, win 3.0 through NT4 to 2000 to 7…
I wish I had started using Linux sooner. It’s just easier.
Facebook Messenger is the 2nd largest chat/messaging client behind Whatsapp, also a Meta service.
Over 3 billion users combined.
So, to answer your question: “Nearly everybody.”
