LOL, no they won’t. They’ll just make you throw out your nail clippers and water, while routinely missing shit that’s actually dangerous.

You can also get different varieties of Ubuntu with different default desktop environments, named as portmanteaus of [DE name] + “Ubuntu.” Specifically, there’s Kubuntu (with KDE), Xubuntu (with XFCE), and most relevantly, Lubuntu (with LXQT).

Note that LXQT isn’t the same thing as LXDE, but is sort of a successor to it (even though LXDE is also still maintained).

sudo apt install lxde (or sudo apt install lxqt, for that matter) is definitely simpler than starting over installing a Lubuntu image though, so try that first.

I’m neither a UK person nor a Palestinian activist, but I found this to be an interesting example of how freedom of speech and jury nullification (or “jury equity,” apparently) work in the UK.

Your local county extension office and nearby universities with agricultural programs.

That doesn’t mean the concept is flawed; it just means those businesses were smart enough to put in countermeasures against bad people.

That just means Lower Decks has the best treknobabble!

This situation you describe is legitimately one of my greatest fears as a parent. I have little useful advice to give; all I can really say is “good luck” and to research terms like “elsagate,” “gamergate” and “PewDiePipeline” to see what advice actual experts (psychologists etc.) have about deprogramming kids from them.

I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential.

I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because my computer-illiterate parents had absolutely no clue what the Internet was capable of exposing me to. Frankly, it was only dumb luck on their part that I happened to have the right personality and skills not to succumb to inceldom, the Alt-Right, or some other kind of radicalization.

(Even more frankly, maybe I did succumb to radicalization: I am, after all, an urbanist leftist Linux user (among other weird things) who likes to hang out on Lemmy, LOL!)

JJ-Trek, hands down. From “red matter” to interstellar transporter beams to Khan’s magic blood.

The reason it’s so bad is that it’s fucking plot holes galore. By the end of Star Trek (2009), starships are obsolete. By the end of Into Darkness, everyone should be immortal.

Treknobabble is supposed to serve the plot, but this shit undermines the entire premise instead. It’s ridiculous!

I don’t recall the reasons for the addition but /media is newer than /mnt.

Something to do with hard-coded mounts in /etc/fstab vs. dynamically-mounted removable media (USB drives etc.), I think.

it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!

Some suburbs are nice, too.

It’s precisely the streetcar suburbs that are nice, and they are nice precisely because they are not car-dependent.

No, because a kibbutz (planned intentional community) would be the “cathedral” in that analogy, and the city (incrementally developed community) would be the bazaar.

Linux is the communal kibbutz, Windows is the corporate city.

I was 100% with you until you decided to go and diss cities.

Cities are great and neighborhoods within them can have plenty of sense of community; it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!

On one hand, good point, that’s kinda horrifying now that you mention it. 😬

On the other hand, wouldn’t “without consequences” mean “without consequences?”

It’s too bad these incels can’t get Groundhog Day’d until they learn to be decent people.

The only trouble is that, at this point, Microsoft leaked code is so inferior nobody wants it anyway.

Damn who imagined that gaming would be the topic that made the FOSS OSes relevant.

Frankly, that’s been obvious for a pretty long time now. I’ve been hearing “but I need Windows for gaming” as people’s primary excuse for not switching since literally two decades ago.

Ah, that explains the headline’s blatant negative spin (in stark contrast to some of the other coverage of the same study I saw posted in other Lemmy communities yesterday).

The MAGAs are attacking the election system in my state (Georgia) so hard that, at this point, I’m starting to worry about mail-in ballots being fraudulently thrown out because of false claims of signature mismatch.
