Is Brave not FOSS? How come nobody has already made a debloated fork of the browser?

Every DE apart from GNOME, KDE Plasma, Cosmic and a couple of obscure tiling WMs is still based entirely on X11. We are still a very long distance away from abandoning X11.

Yes, many of the very good ones really are just philanthropic contributions driven only by the site authors’ interest and charity.

Ubuntu because you literally need zero setup and customization to get going after a fresh install. Everything is silently built in and everything just works.

aether.bar, with the extension + febbox token

German and French aren’t scripts, they are languages that use the same script as English - Latin. And LOL if you think they are any better than English.

By more sensible scripts I mean Hebrew or Arabic, which are a lot more efficient and clear in packing words than Latin or Cyrillic.

Whoah, I went down the rabbit hole after googling this “great vowel shift” and damn if it isn’t insanely interesting! English should have naturally split into descendant languages but the arrival of the printing press in the middle of the transition messed things up royally and now the entire world has to bear the idiosyncrasies. Nothing short of amazing, thanks a lot for your reply!

What science and sociology did you learn from these shows?

I enjoy it thoroughly, but it is still in all senses a kids show though.

LOL, how do you suppose the protected class will fare if the provider class stops participating as a result?

Straight men can’t vote on laws for women and LGBTQ people? Sure, then straight men will also refuse to extend public safety protections and social security nets they provide from their effort to the women and queer. How would that hold?

It is weird how this kind of writing won out in Europe when it literally had exposure from all sides to far better more sensible scripts.

Why would they? The current stable kernel release is still v6.19

Fixing tech debt is more a people/commercial problem than a technical one. You just had to send a report to one guy, but that guy has to spend ridiculous amounts of energy convincing execs and stakeholders that it is worth breaking their current real workflows for a future imaginary payoff. Piling AI on the broken establishment model is relatively more appealing. That Principal might have just done you a favor you didn’t realize.

Age of Empires 2 DE is an addictive brainworm that eats up hours like nothing and turns your mind to mush

Yes, unfortunately you have to clean install (they have a guide for it). It’s fine for me since it’s based on Debian, which has a very long support cycle spanning two or more years generally.

No, I chose systemd for the familiarity.

I tried COSMIC on PopOS and had the same sour experience that LTT famously did in his recent video. And honestly, considering that it is visually and functionally no different than GNOME (which is already on wayland and much more stable), I don’t know why they’re even bothering with it.

addy.io is the one I’m using

Why not just switch to systemd-boot?
