Do your issues appear on a fresh install? At my admittedly limited level of expertise, I’d probably start from there. If a clean install works properly, then something that’s happening later is messing it up. You’d have to keep track of changes you make to your system and check for issues as you go.

If a clean install is borked from the get-go, maybe try different distros. Since Framework supports Fedora, I’m surprised that anything would go wrong.

I don’t know if Framework offers any support or warranty, but you could check with them too.

Yeah on my Dell laptop that I have lying around, the machine I use to demo distros before giving them a real try, the wifi card is just not supported. I tried GhostBSD and openBSD.

As much as I’m against the takeover of minimalism in logo design, something a bit more subdued would make people more likely to use the free version. The anime girl vibe may not be the one for every website.

Maybe Xe has little interest in people using the free version, which is fine, but they still haven’t nailed down the pricing. You contact them and set up a meeting to discuss the price. That may change as soon as they gain some traction though, so we’ll see.

I may be missing some context here. How is it creepy to have a child as the mascot of your software? I just checked the Anubis website and didn’t see any sexualization.

My experience with products that lean so heavily into the sponsors is that they’re usually mediocre in terms of your overall choices. Basically, the ads kind of give me bad vibes. I admit, it’s not a rational judgment, but I won’t go out of my way to find out if NordVPN is actually good when there are alternatives.

If many people feel the same way, it may be evidence that sponsors are an outdated method of advertising.

Making a new OS isn’t easy as others have said, but it’s also helpful that Pebble OS has a bit of a following. There are still people who are very vocal about how much they love/loved their pebble watches. Making a new OS that’s inspired by PebbleOS would be met with more skepticism than just releasing a watch with an OS that people already know that they like.

Assuming that he made no major changes to the software, pebble fans almost already know what they’ll be getting out of this product. You couldn’t say the same for a watch with a new OS.

I remember downloading it a few years back to do some basic image editing and drawing. I think I wanted to make a simple diagram for a lab paper. I didn’t get very far though and ended up using an alternative program. It may not be objectively terrible. but the first time user experience leaves a lot to be desired.

sun tea

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying an unconventional recipe for tea, but this is not what most people around the world are looking for when ordering tea. I guess suggesting that fast food places switch to lower brewing temperatures and different recipes to avoid this issue is interesting if that’s what you’re suggesting. The taste would be different though.

It doesn’t require such hot water per se, but you get a lot more flavor in a shorter period of time when brewing hot tea or coffee. You see this with cold brew coffee recipes taking hours to brew and still producing different flavors from iced coffee. (Coffee brewed hot, then cooled.) I searched up some recipes for sun tea, and they also take hours to brew. That doesn’t work for a fast food restaurant trying to make tea on demand. If you lower the temperature to even 85 C for black tea you will be able to taste a difference.

If this happened, would Ubuntu based operating systems be impacted as well? I might start to learn Debian or LMDE if so.

Maybe they’re not for you, IDK. I started with a Lamy safari and noodler’s ink, and it was pretty smooth. You do have to write a bit differently though.

The pilot G2s are well known for being very good as well.

I’m thinking of going back to nicer gel pens. Fountain pens are great when writing, but filling and cleaning is such a hassle. My favorite is probably the TWSBI VAC 700R since it holds so much ink, and it doesn’t need to be filled often at all.

If writing for a decent amount of time, this is how I do it with fountain pens. They almost feel made for lefties.

It’s been a while since I used it, but Librewolf had a habit of showing the bitwarden extension’s window at the wrong size.

I was able to fix this by disabling a “resist fingerprinting” setting, but it’s annoying to have to do stuff like this in the first place. I really wanted to have an exceptions list that included certain websites for fingerprinting resistance, but I never found a clear way to do it.

There are a few other examples of settings that I had to tweak in order to make the experience as good as Firefox.

Those who are against it probably would just move away from Ubuntu. For those who aren’t, I don’t see why they shouldn’t register for Ubuntu Pro. It’s not in the spirit of the free software ecosystem, but not everyone needs to have the same level of commitment to free software.

IMO, hearing about Ubuntu Pro reinforces my decision to stick to Ubuntu derivatives like Mint, and it’s making me consider trying options like LMDE or straight up Debian.

This sounds like a problem with your organization. I use windows at the hospital where I work, and we don’t run into these kinds of issues. Yeah it is rife with other issues like goading you into using microsoft edge, one drive, and more, but updates are handled by IT.

This is why people trying to pass this as a primary option baffle me a bit. dd is not that bad in isolation, but all of these little commands add up.

If we want Linux to be mainstream, we need to accept that most users aren’t going to be linux enthusiasts. They just want a PC that works normally.

They’ll never tell.

That’s cool. I may keep an eye out for old Kindles in thrift stores and whatnot. With the advent of android tablets that just have e paper displays, I probably will try those before buying another kindle.

I feel like it makes sense. If you order coffee you pay for the amount of coffee not the overall volume of the coffee and ice. This is actually a good thing because you won’t be wondering if they watered down your drink more than usual due to an error by the barista.

I feel like this word is just used to mean that something caused a certain emotion. Maybe it was co-opted from the world of mental health. Either way, saying it triggered me is less descriptive than saying that it annoyed or infuriated me, but it’s popular now.

I am curious if anyone with some legal knowledge can weigh in. My messy google search only pointed to one federal law, the FTC act, that would allow the FTC to intervene if a website breaks its own privacy policy. Otherwise US privacy laws are industry specific. (E.g. there is a set of laws for healthcare related data, HIPAA. There are other ones for some financial institutions.) So on a federal level they would have the FTC to worry about, maybe.

What complicates this is that multiple states have their own data privacy laws, and I don’t know what a company based in one state with data from users in other states has to do.
