As a general rule anyone that asks for a non-proprietary thing that will do everything their proprietary thing does without alternative solutions allowed is so far from the reality of non-proprietary software in a proprietary world that they can not be made happy so I’ll leave the support of that to others.

Like anything else, can be, depending on your needs.

Why wasn’t “not go” an option?

The senators were not the ones that exposed anything.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Twitter is pushing it due to it being proven that outrage boosts engagement. Facebook has been doing that for years.

Could you tell me what would be lacking? There’s a surprising amount of bells and whistle s you can add to the setup. Check out bunsenlabs distro for an example.

It looks like its goal is to make everything less comfortable, not more.

I love OB with tint2 and conky , no de needed.

Do people usually just ignore these types of emails?

Yes, for the simple fact that half of the half trillion emails sent every day is spam mail. Trying to do something with them is a fool’s errand. Just delete and make the most of your day.

162 billion spam emails are sent every day, with 49% of the 333 billion daily emails sent, considered spam (numbers recorded for 2022).(source)

Its not weird to you and as you said, nothing untoward is occurring so I don’t see a reason to stop. I wouldn’t share with peers though for obvious reasons. The small-minded would have a field day.

Your story basically mimics mine. Guitar and drums, always wanted to play with others but at 50 years old, I jam every day by myself at home.

Other than about 6 months in my 20s, I’ve not played music with others. I want to but I don’t interact with others and the thought of trying to is overwhelming.

I hope you overcome your aversion. The 6 months I did jam with others was magical.

What a great ad.

Which is why I said “linux as a whole”. Many distros will try to undo the nerdery and neckbeardism that is built into the parent distros but as a whole, linux is going to always be less welcoming to a new user than someone that’s used to useless warnings and repeated password entries for elevated privileges. Being safer and being new-user-friendly rarely go hand in hand.

Yes but surely you’re aware that even the most new-user-friendly distros and their tools aren’t necessarily aimed at new users.

That warning is a perfect example of how Linux developers choose which hill to die on. They post a warning for an app that everyone knows can deliver bad times to two camps of users; those that know and don’t care and those that don’t understand the warning. If we could quantify the helpfulness of that warning, odds are that it saved 0 users from malicious action from that avenue of attack.

Never expect Linux as a whole to be “helpful” to the new crowd.

I appreciate titles that let you know you don’t need to waste time watching it.
