Consumer grade Linux Mint is impossible to differentiate from Windows/MacOS.

Install Firefox. Install Chrome. Install Steam.

Test it out on an old laptop or computer. It’s trivial. Your life will improve.

The USA wants a world where AI wants is given permission to consume all copyrighted content for free, but we are charged for access to scholarly papers.

Dark patterns will eventually force advertisements into anything that reliably catches your attention.

I stopped paying attention to notification icons ages ago, and I haven’t missed any important notifications.

You own what is on your machine, that you save locally.

Some companies believe they control the internet, but they do not. They control what is on the computers they own, that they save locally. Sometimes that is information that users have shared. That is their choice.

Steam, Spotify, Discord. Whoops, all Chromium.

Selective quoting is basically lying.

The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak. Intelsat declared the satellite a total loss in April 2019, later attributing it to either a micrometeoroid strike or solar weather activity.

Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.

15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I’m not saying they’re good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.

Do not look away from screen while ad is playing, or playback will be paused for 5 minutes for first offense.

I will give Jellyfin further credit, that Finamp is really well designed for music use, and it kept me running the server in parallel with other media servers for quite a while.

I’m fine with Firefox getting paid for the 2nd step of the install being changing the default search to DDG.
