My first distro was Suse Linux 8.1. I had to buy the box as downloading was not an option with my dial-up connection back then. However, the first distro that I fell in love with was Fedora Core. The original one. I bought the book which had the DVD with the full installation. I was hooked. That was more than 20 years ago.

Wow! Looks very complex. I don't dare to dive into the modular staff. This is for the brave!
Another good lesson about why we should trust only FOSS ecosystems

MX Linux. It's exactly how I'd set up Debian if I wasn't too lazy. Although, I've gone back to Debian after Bookwarm was released. I love it but miss MX

That's a very unique sound you made there. I liked Radial, Falling home and Where. What do you use to create these chaotic sounds?

This is just zdnet being zdnet Firefox remains the best browser for me and many others. The percentage of users in highly educated groups is much higher and there is a reason for this.

I have been using wayland on kde the last two years on Debian and MX Linux with zero issues. My general usa includes coding, music production, Libre office and web browsing. So, no much gaming, if that is your concern.

Snap has a locked and proprietary store, even if the client is FOSS. There is no reason to "hate" Ubuntu but there are better choices.

Ctrl+Shift+A will get you to Add-ons and Themes. Click on Extensions, if it is not already chosen. Among your extensions you should see relay. Click the switch to the right to turn it off or the three dots to remove it completely.

For someone as tech illiterate as my mom, I'd advise against trying it.
But you are here and my mom would never know that Lemmy is a thing. You also ask about Linux.
I'd guess that you will have great fun using and appreciating what Linux and the foss communities have created.

Surely their perspective was vastly different than ours. This attempt was likely reasonable at its time in 1948, when Israel was hardly a state. Hindsight is always different from actual sight.

Israel is not a single entity but a collection of collections who do not agree with each other. Just like any country you will find everything there. The problem is always the militants (e.g. IDF, Hamas in this case) and the dominant minority of people yielding authority over violence. The rest of the people are just that: people. With different thoughts, aspirations, suffering and preconceptions. Just like all of us here. Therefore, there is no "One Israel" that wants us to believe something specific. Depends on who you talk to.

Nope. Not the way we understand communism today. Our understanding of communism in 2023 is very different from 1935-45. Most likely you and I would have been sympathetic to communism then, and Einstein would condemn communism in later years (e.g. today) if he was alive.

The author is exited but I'm not. I am not a big fan of corporations taking the free work of FOSS developers and turning it into a proprietary dystopia.

Nice! I like this synth too

From DRM-equipped browsers to DRM-equipped brains. Now, that's progress...
I cancelled my subscription since I received a notification that my browser is not supported. Perhaps I should have mentioned my issues with DRM as well, but this may have gone too far. One message is clear, too many messages are noise.
I found this ad from Personal Computer World (UK) in 1985. I think we all like their moto! Has anyone heard of this company? They don't seem to be still around from an internet search I did. But people who worked there may have had an interesting career (hopefully!)
How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk? In today's money (inflation adjusted) This an ad from Personal Computer World (UK) from 1985
Red Hat used to be one of the champions of FOSS. The last years, after being acquired by IBM, they bought and castrated CentOS and now restrict public access to "their" code. Reddit used to be the healthiest commercial social network (and probably still remains in that place) but chose to severe the ability of third party developers to use their API, thus closing their ecosystem. Many IT companies have fired staff the last year and appear to be more assertive in regard to the working conditions of their remaining employees. I wouldn't say that the above is an indication that the IT sector, which relies on highly educated people, keeps moving in the right direction... I'd say that both Red Hat and Reddit maintain their position on the "ethical pedestal" but surely, these actions indicate their tension to step down in order to improve their balances. I am not an economist but it seems that they are likely to achieve short term profit (and Reddit may not achieve this either) and develop long term weaknesses. Perhaps it's time to stop relying on commercial entities for our activities and strengthen community projects, which will remain open for companies to contribute and thrive but will never control. While these thoughts extend well beyond the GNU/Linux ecosystem, I cannot think of a better community to sympathise with these thoughts.
Let's start this community by remembering our favourite GMs in chess history. It doesn't have to be the best but our personal favourite. And you don't have to mention just one. Feel free to add a comment on why you find them Great!
Hello everyone (sounds familiar? :) Let's start a community of our favourite game here in the fediverse.
