It is weird to see it be a somewhat practical recommendation. I mained Gentoo pre-0.1 days back when the alpha was revolutionary and the idea of including the stage 3 binaries in the distro was controversial. Wars raged in the forums over which USE flags worked best.

But then compute got so much cheaper I stopped caring and I mostly used corporate distros for work.

I recently installed LMDE on an ancient 1.83Ghz celeron netbook, but it runs like dogshit. Maybe I ought to dust off my USE flag game and see if I can squeeze more life out of it. I’m sure just using something other than cinnamon would work as well, but what fun would that be?

I was going to write that it is more like “American-style capitalism” bullshit, but … potato potAto.

Plex says the stolen data includes email addresses, usernames, securely hashed passwords, and authentication data. “An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases,” reads the Plex data breach notification.

I heard now it’s up to five. That might have something to do with why he’s the size of a barge.

Yes

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Most websites used to have way fewer ads and we blocked them anyway because of the ads with malware and them being annoying when they did show up.

So then people without ad blockers are shown even more ads. So then more people start to use more and more aggressive adblockers to deal with i truaivw ads, so corpos display more ads…and so on and so on.

My point is that we have tried your suggestion. The Internet in 1998 was very different.

Indeed.

That also happens to me on Windows 11 at work.

Okay, but… wtf does it do?
