I’m good. But thank you for the tip.

Just posted the video, because I like that she’s quite balanced in her views. The subject matter will always trigger a level of controversy, esp. on lemmy. But the advice is pretty solid.

And if Mint isn’t the answer, go with Ubuntu. Or Zorin OS. Or PopOS. All of them are “right” and provide excellent beginner experiences for many people.

What would you like to achieve? Would OpenSnitch be of assistance?

Ubuntu as well. I wish I could say OpenSuse…

I agree. OpenSuse should set the standards in this.

Tbf, they really need a designer to upgrade this visually a bit. It exudes its strong “Sys Admin only” vibes a bit much. In my opinion. 🙂

Not really related to the issue. If I understand correctly, your device isn’t bricked, but freezes. A bricked device doesn’t boot anymore, a frozen device is unresponsive. Or am I misunderstanding this?

Set off both journalctl -qu gnome-shell and journalctl -qu gnome-settings-daemon. Both return nothing.

In case you don’t know this one yet:

This “Beginners Guide” they have there is a serious turnoff. They might want to consider a more lightweight and friendly intro to their software. 😄

Still, if I find the time to go through this massive wall of text, I will.

Freedom is always relative. No one has absolute freedom. No matter how much I want to go without sleep, I can’t do that. No matter how much I don’t like gravity, it limits me (or liberates me, depending on my view). I have the freedom to jump off a highrise, but will that freedom actually do me good? Absolute freedom is not necessarily a good thing as it can harm myself and others.

Therefore free speech doesn’t mean I can say whatever I want. It means that I have the right to express my opinions publicly. But there must be restrictions to balance the right to free speech with the need to protect individuals and society from harm (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech).

They could use some more engagement, but they’re a pleasant bunch. AFAIK.

I agree. !nomanssky@lemmy.world is a pleasant exception.

Well, I completely disagree! Taking things seriously is the only way to have meaningful conversations. If we don’t challenge each other’s views, how will we ever grow and learn? We need the “battleground of ideas”!

Fair. Just that the selection of quality games is rather limited.

IMO monetisation is fine, after all we all need to earn a living. To goad people into spending money is the issue. Enter dark patterns.

A one-off purchase after testing the first level? Awesome! Wait a few hours - or days - for a building to finish? Watch a deceptive ad for a meager reward over and over? No, thanks.

You misspelled Neovim. An understandable mistake.

😁😝

Agreed. Horrible news.

Hoping Syncthing-Fork will continue.

I just installed that on your recommendation.

Hoping for the best.

Here the link for anyone who wants to check it out.

TIL that this is the successor of K9.

Awesome news! I hope.

I am not sure whether I should be impressed or concerned by this amount of thought, detail and analysis.

Anything you’re not telling us?

No. I totally support an indie dev advertising their hard work here.

Awww. It looks happy.
