No problem, we’ll just start calling him “the general secretary who must not be named”.

When looking at Fox, CNN or NY times, the cookie count looks realistic, but nothing else does. I refuse to believe these sites don’t use any other methods.

Any hardware that couples with a mobile app is potentially a bad idea. Eventually, the company will stop developing that app, which means you just have to use that device without the mobile app. If it’s an RC car without a controller, you’re left with e-waste. If it’s an electric toothbrush, you can probably still use it, but with fewer features than before. Either way, it’s bad news for the user.

I’ve never had gentoo before, but what I’ve heard from other people might explain that part of your journey. You went from unstable to stable to Arch, which says something.

I don’t even remember all of them, let alone the correct sequence. I’ve also had multiple computers at one time (still do), and usually they have different distributions (still true).

First experiment: Mandrake

First serious use: Ubuntu edgy eft or something

Spiraling out of control: kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, debian, kaos, mint, easypeasy, fedora, korora, rox, manjaro, openmediavault, rockstor, + many niche distributions

Current: arch and debian

Before you ask, no, I’m not a diagnosed psychopath.

I follow the official upgrade method. Can’t be bothered to mess around with anything more complicated than that. Besides, the devs probably understand the system better than I do, so there has to be a reason why that is the preferred way.

I wish my washing machine had an ethernet port so that I could SSH into it.

Me too. Read the title, looked at the picture and concluded that some people have really fancy washing machines. 😃

KaOS exists too, so it was a matter of time.

It also apples to mushrooms. All mushrooms are edible, some more than once.

In what way? There are tech savvy people on the team, so obviously many of them are well aware of the privacy concerns. Besides, they don’t live in a vacuum, so they see the same posts and videos we do.

Probably they just noticed that now is the right time to talk about this.

Nah, just switched to searx for a day, and came back once DDG was up again.
