Set it to not click every single link, which is its default state or else they’ll catch on and just invalidate everything that you submit.

Will any of your family members leave beta?

Okay, so then it’s like 10 fingers pointed at Russia for every 1 at Ukraine. Where is the debate? You want Ukraine to be at 0? How does that make sense?

Um, obviously, @ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net meant that as the aggressor, Russia’s bringing it on themselves and could choose to stop the war at any time, so it’s not Ukraine’s problem. Why does that need to be spelled out?

Let’s put it this way: if the civilian victims of this attack are therefore influenced to also join Ukraine in telling the Russian tyrants to, “Dude, just stop attacking Ukraine already; we’re getting f@#$ed up here,” then that’s even good. Put on the pressure. Pull out all the stops. End it faster. Get everyone against the Russian gov, even if some deep collateral pain may be initially needed.

Fine by us!

That means they could make fancy comparison trailers showcasing the slickest parts of Linux versus when other OSs try to do the same lol.

Wait, so is, for example, https://p.programming.dev/ a frontend? And https://old.lemmy.world/? Is merely www as a subdomain a frontend as well?

It was ultimately the exploration of curiosity, I think.

Gotcha, makes sense! Basically like portable apps…

Interesting, thanks… What makes Snaps bad, though?

Thanks for the reminder to dig into Timeshift more!

Right, what I mean is that:

Canonical is suspect, don’t use Ubuntu. Mint is fine.

I didn’t realize this distinction was so massive given how Mint is built on Ubuntu, right?

Sweet, thanks!

I glanced at it and agree!

Mint feels modern enough to me yet simple enough for seniors to grasp. I wanted something that could work with their printers immediately, which it did (although I had sure spent several hours getting Wi-Fi and sound to work on one of them, as Mint had kept trying to look for other drivers).

One of my biggest annoyances with Fedora is that you seem to be required to have a mouse to navigate through the full extent of its settings, whereas I think at least a larger chunk of Mint’s settings can be navigated by keyboard, at least in my limited experience (even though the actual main users probably wouldn’t care). Fedora created a popup, I think during sound-testing, that literally could not be interacted with in any way without a mouse cursor that I could find. This is partly why I’m sticking to Mint Cinnamon for even my own machine, plus issues I had with Bazzite (Steam itself ironically never showing a window and only putting itself in the system tray despite what I tried, etc.).

lol, fixed all my typos. For context to other readers, “distros” got auto corrected. I’m glad Lemmy lets us edit post titles, unlike a certain giant in the infinitopic forum space…

Oh, okay; I didn’t know how interrelated the Mint devs are with anyone at Canonical. It sounds like they’re totally independent, which is great! It was just a bit of a shock to see people here say “Stop using Ubuntu” entirely, though, since it’s such a household name in the world of Linux that it sort of upended my entire perspective for a bit.

I’ve never even heard of Guix. Mint is swift to get non-tech-savvy people up and running immediately, with a nice calendar desklet and applets ready to go, and it just seems like more options can be tabbed through without a mouse than, say, Fedora’s UI (like Bazzite).

Thanks, I learned a lot from this!
