Fascism continues to sweep the world. Apparently loads of people find it really appealing.

Linux: Libre Office

Windows: MS Office

Libre Office is also available on Windows.

“Free software” doesn’t mean you don’t pay for it, but that it respects and preserves the user’s freedom. The opposite is not “cost software” but unfree software.

What is free software?

Most of the other points in this list are also questionable or inaccurate. In fact, I think the only true one is the first one: open source vs closed source.

It’s the best of the Chromium-based browsers, but closed-source is a shame. I wish Firefox would copy some of Vivaldi’s UI ideas.

I don’t recommend PopOS! because I think the Gnome UI is confusing to people who have only used Windows before.

This guy just poked his head out to see what all the noise was and got shot twice. Israel seems to be shooting Palestinians indiscriminately.

There’s more information about the components of this system here:

There really isn’t much to this Holesail project - it’s a little convenience wrapper around Hyper DHT and that’s a part of this Pear project it seems. That site has a list of the various components and links to each one’s GitHub.

Pear looks like an interesting project but I haven’t looked through the details of how it works.

Apparently it’s a suspended sentence and they are not in custody, so no prison time will happen. Just business as usual for the exploiters.

Great that they’re using the GPLv3 license too.

KDE Plasma is so much more snappy and functional than Windows. Linux has lots of good options.

Thanks!

That bit really doesn’t ring true.

It says something about the modern world that some of us read the headline and thought, “Oh, have the Nazis reached that stage already?”

“We will not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior,” Hochul said on Thursday, adding that “on a subway, people should not be able to hide behind a mask to commit crimes”.

Maybe she should consider addressing the committing crimes part instead of the wearing masks part.

It’s important information but not really a very beautiful or useful way of presenting it.

A tiny amount for such a large corporation. The only message this sends to them is that it’s worth employing death squads.

The UK under the Tories is all in on support for the genocide. And Keir Starmer isn’t one to rock the boat. His priority seems to be stamping out anything good in the Labour Party.

I’m also in the tech industry and that’s not my experience.

1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows.

Also the various BSD-based OSs. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD etc. are still around, and MacOS is based on BSD too. And since BSD (1978) is a Unix, you can trace these all the way back to 1969.

It’s hilarious – and also a bit sad – that Tan and his ilk assume that someone must be paying me to write. They apparently cannot imagine any human motivation beyond money. It does not occur to them that a person could simply be inspired to action because they care about things like community, democracy and truth.

See also: “if people weren’t under threat of unemployment ruining their lives, they wouldn’t be motivated to work.” Many right-wingers seem to have no conception of being motivated to do something because it’s good to do.
