2016, too. literally a convicted felon 34 times over from efforts to illegally influence that election.

snapd is in debian repos so you can add it if you want, and then also integrate it into kde’s discover.

here when i search for something or someone ‘newsworthy’ i get links to other sites ahead of msn, those links do go to the expected sites, and the favicons (that are all msn in the posted image) are also correct. in fact, only one first page out of the five searches i tried even had an msn link at all–at #9.

if you haven’t added the flathub repository to your new debian kde desktop install, discover will only show you packages from debian’s repositories that were automatically configured during installation… even if you’ve added the flatpak ‘backend’ from inside discover–flathub still has to be added to your sources (see step 3 in link above).

once you have multiple sources of an application (for instance, ‘vlc’), discover will add a ‘sources’ pulldown (top right, next to the ‘install’ button) where you can choose debian system package or flatpak (or snap, if configured).

which source you use is entirely up to you. on my own debian desktop, i usually stick with debs if it has what i’m looking for, as i’ve chosen debian and have accepted their pace at which new software is added. if i wanted ‘bleeding edge’ i would have installed something else entirely on it. but you can certainly go ‘all flatpak’ if you wanted to.

too often. but at least they’re $50-80 flippers and not $1000 slabs.

and the whole thing ends up being even worse

and it only “might” be a bad thing?

cookies are just text. they could literally contain an ip address or a hash or other identifier that refers to one.

spotify can’t directly obtain data from a linkedin cookie. but ad networks and other ‘third parties’ could provide ‘targeting’ or even identifying information to them.

use a different browser profile, or better–an entirely different browser–for vpn browsing.

what factories, dumbfuck?

and most of 'em don’t have a fucking thing to do with ‘official’ duties

i don’t recall democrats ever ‘fighting fire with fire’. they ‘play nice’ as to not offend the ones that weren’t ever gonna vote for them in the first place–then they lose next time around… and then the republicants dig an even deeper hole from which democrats have to try to climb us all out of when it’s ‘their turn’ again. thus is the downward spiral of the two party fptp system.

shit-filled and a huuuuge splash radius.

how long will it take an ‘ai’ chatbot to spiral downward to bad advice, lies, insults, and/or promotion of violence and self-harm?

Walmart is noted for its ability to manage costs more aggressively than other companies to keep prices low.

yes. they have sheer scale on their side. but they don’t ‘manage costs’ to ‘keep prices low’, they do it to ‘maximize profits’

we are blessed here to have the noise in the winter, too. more than three flakes of snow and there’s sure to be a legion of leaf blowers clearing off precious pavement in neighborhoods all over town. the guys that do it at 4-5am are the true treasures.

“86” means “ged rid of”, not kill.

the latter could be denoted by 18747.

i am evaluating endless os (basic install, not the kitchen sink version) right now. i have bunch of soon-to-be obsolete desktops and laptops i need to find something other than windows to load. i am very impressed so far. it’s nearly everything i’m looking for for these systems and their future home users.

it’s nearly as ‘simple’ as a chromebook but is based on debian, so it can do more than chromeos. but because of the ostree base, verified flatpak applications, and simplified desktop and ui, it’s a lot harder for a typical home user to ‘break’ than windows.

the ‘full’ endless install with lots of extra programs and offline content might pick up a few fans, too. parts of my area still don’t have faster-than-dialup internet available.

i had been set on peppermint for the lowest spec’d systems (things like c2d 4gb/hdd) and cinnamint for the others (mostly 2nd-6th gen, 4-8gb, some have sata ssd), but endless might just end up on everything unless someone specifically requests different.

i sure hope they aren’t still the same specs (ancient celeron 2gb/32gb flash) for $1100+. but kinda suspect they might be.

endless os is somewhat chromeos like, but based on debian. read-only ostree debian stable base, flatpak applications, simplified desktop and ui.

use the 4gb ‘basic’ installer iso unless you want a lot of extra programs and offline content included right out of the box. and note it’s definitely not those who like to tinker and change everything. endless is locked down pretty tight so it’s harder to break, but that means less flexibility and very few customization options.
