I’ve landed on it as the best blend of accurate and not terrifying for security

They have three choices of API to use. One of which is NOAA whose data license is compatible with F-Droid’s free network resources definition

I’m gonna say SI

Or why not just seconds past the epoch?

Gnome 2 was great and I wish MATE got more attention

Thank you!

I’ve seen that claim a couple of places and would like a source. It very well may be since Microsoft prefers Debian based systems for WSL and for azure, but its not something I would have assumed by default

I was literally compiling this library a few nights ago and didn’t catch shit. We caught this one but I’m sure there’s a bunch of “bugs” we’ve squashes over the years long after they were introduced that were working just as intended like this one.

The real scary thing to me is the notion this was state sponsored and how many things like this might be hanging out in proprietary software for years on end.

Seen by who? I’d never even heard of them and I’ve been on mastodon for ages

Soothing white noise that helps you sleep

They removed support for their own markup language and then closed a bunch of the “please give us markdown support” tickets as completed like a bunch of dumb, dumb, dingleberries

Brother, you just described why I bought a toner based printer. The ink is cheap AF, doesn’t dry out, doesn’t require frequent test pages, doesn’t brick if I disable the ink subscription because I don’t print that much, the drivers are all released GPL by the printer company, and it can just sit on a shelf I wasn’t using anyway. I haven’t looked at it in weeks and as an added bonus I dropped the print contrast to increase the longevity of the toner cartridge.

I work remote. About once a month I have to print a shipping label or something for drop off. Having a printer in the house greatly increases turn about on that and important papers

Driving 30 minutes into town every time I have to print something isn’t worth it

I loath Ubuntu. But I know if I send a noob off into the woods with it they’ll be able to find solutions to their problems

If you have to ask it probably means the answer is one of the following:

• Mint
• Ubuntu
• Pop!_os

In that order. Mint will be most likely the answer if your hardware is pretty normal. Ubuntu will be the answer if you’re willing to give up some security and privacy for east of use (pro-tip: if this is your mentality I’d recommend a different OS and dual booting while you learn). Pop!_os will be the answer if you don’t need super up to date software and want all your hardware to work because you have something odd

Personally I would strongly advise towards Mint. I used to direct people away from it but I’ve learned this was a bias I had against them for mishandling a security thing a long time ago that they’ve since become leaders in the security space for general use Linux operating systems.

I also prefer gpg but it is not super beginner friendly. I generally recommend people away from proton and tuta unless they really want encrypted email and gpg isn’t something they can figure out

Doesn’t work for some things unfortunately

“Do you have a shredder? Do you keep your payment information in an exposed location. If you found out a company leaked your credit card data, your phone number, everything you’d ever said to your therapist, how would you feel?”

Making email secure and good is very hard and it involves either making it inconvenient or getting rid of interoperability with existing systems. As long as I’ve been tracking it your choices for client when using Proton were webmail or mobile apps. The news here is that a new option has opened up not that an old option is being taken away
