The first time I heard the “every other” theory I was sceptical but it has held true for a very long time now.

They might do an 8.1 and mess with some features (remember when they had to bring back the tool bar)? But another release is likely needed to fix some of the Win 11 performance and bloat issues now.

They’ve cut too deep, for some good reasons, but at the cost of making everything slow.

This happened in Scotland after the law was clarified on biological m/f:

I wish there was a Pixel with an SD card slot. That is the main reason I’m still, grudgingly, on Samsung.

You could read the Red Mars series. It covers some of the points you’ve raised albeit it is Science Fiction.

God that game saying “Find Nathan Gould” over and over.

Ahh, I didn’t know.

Terrifying lol

Why do you say that?

How does one revoke a degree?

I think I saw this season of Westworld.

Thanks for the tips. I did some got training a few months ago but hadn’t considered using it for Linux configs.

That is good advice.

Thank you for your advice. I will take it. As a beginner, I’ll start with Mint.

Would your reccomend any other secure distro for the future?

Thanks for the reply. I’m fairy average Joe. I’ll mainly use this machine for downloading files and general browsing. I don’t have any personal files or accounts on that device.

I’m mainly concerned with neglecting to enable (or disabling) something critical or accidentally downloading something malicious (although this hasn’t happened for many many years).

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. I take it that software centre is like a Linux app store?

My banking app doesn’t open if Heliboard is set as my default keyboard.

Pain in the ass

I forget the name of it but there is a little known agreement that means digital services aren’t taxed. Example, I can offshore workers who connect to a server in the EU and performs work.

It covers things like Netflix streaming to EU customers without Netflix being taxed.

If you think about it this is a little odd. After all, goods are taxed when imported, why not digital services?

The EU is often criticised for having no digital leader. Switching that tax free hose off might resolve that.

There’s a link at the top of the site called “Climate crisis” and the Guardian is often accused of being too left wing.

Are there any popular open source alternatives? I checked a while ago but didn’t find anything.

What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.

Un-fortify the wheat now!
