The OS itself, Debian. If I have to pick a component, Mate Panel. Compared to the Windows 11 start menu, it’s useful, customizableand has no ads. My IT department at work can’t even figure out how to remove the Windows 11 start menu ads from my computer.

It’s homologous with a human’s middle finger. That doesn’t make it a middle finger.

Ok, here’s one about China’s current crimes: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/hong-kong-unexpectedly-canceled-one-of-its-biggest-lgbtq-events-china-may-be-to-blame/

What countries would you consider Marxists-Leninist?

Don’t forget about present failures. In Russia, you still can’t be gay and talk openly about it.

Imagine all the cosmic background radiation and starlight of 4 billion years, as measured in the outer universe, landing on Earth in a time-dilated period of only 7 days. Earth would be cooked. By my calculation, the surface of the Earth would get up to 1900 Kelvin.

Try to get as much as possible off Windows. You can transfer the remaining Windows-only programs to a virtual machine in snapshot mode, or if necessary, a real machine with a backed up image, that you can reimage regularly.

Not everyone can get off Windows. But get as much as you can. Isolate what’s left.

China’s carbon dioxide emissions are more than a third of the world’s total emissions. Their CO2 emissions are increasing and accelerating.

No matter how much they subsidize solar, unless they implement a carbon emission tax, the emissions will keep increasing.

The simplest explanation is that OP doesn’t have good opsec, and got a few tracking cookies after deleting cookies, before setting up their proxy/VPN. Then, on the VPN, the advertiser recognized their VPN IP address, and chose to exclude that from generating location data, deferring instead to the location indicated in their existing tracking cookies.

Privacy is hard. The system is rigged against privacy. You have to do everything perfectly, because one simple mistake could leak your IP address.

Spontaneous kidney transplant.

As a STEM graduate, I would much rather hold hands with an econ graduate than a business graduate. Economists can do real good for the world, while MBAs seem to be mostly harmful.

Unfortunately, I think most platforms for novels allow AI, so they end up full of AI trash.

Instead of using a platform, try looking up authors you’ve read before and liked. Then see where they publish. Or try and find a fandom for the genre you like, and ask humans for recommendations

The cell membrane is the wall of the cell. I know it’s less catchy, but human cells don’t have a cell wall.

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

Copyright’s purpose is to improve the public domain. If it doesn’t do that, then its harmful and should be reduced or abolished.

To keep copyrighted content relevant at the point it enters the public domain, copyright should be shortened to 20 years for creative works (films, music, paintings, Spongebob).

Consider the current public domain, which contains things like fairy tales. People remix and retell fairy tales all the time, and it makes for good stories.

Midwesterner here. Surveys show Trump’s approval rating between 40% and 50%, and here on the ground, I believe it. A lot of people are seriously misled. Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax are considered legitimate news sources, so a lot of people truly believe that Trump is improving things.

It will take decades to deprogram all the people who fell for the alt-right’s tricks.

I’ve done this with Debian before, and it works fine. Linux usually mounts the root filesystem based on its UUID, so it doesn’t matter if changing the motherboard caused a change from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb .

If you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, make sure to update it to a version that supports the new video card. If you use the open source Nvidia driver, you should be fine even if it’s old, because it will at least support starting up in an unaccelerated mode.

That’s some bullshit.

Fortunately, virtual machines these days usually use hardware virtualization, instead of emulation.

Electronic women, giant mech women, women reenactments…

Space women?

The potato is just the electrolyte. The energy comes the oxidation of the metal electrodes.
