Just forwarded this pic to my dad. I’ll be guiding him in installing Mint on one of his old Windows desktops this coming Saturday! Wish us luck in the coming years 😂

Thanks for sharing, great list!

Different folks are at different stages of their journey. People are allowed to post about their thoughts and experiences.

Can you please elaborate on the security layer that flatpak adds? Some commentators here suggest Flathub is not secure.

I actually upvoted the comment because I agree that silencing voices (which aren’t harassing or abusive) is a bad thing, regardless of what opinion they are expressing. But downvotes aren’t the same as admins banning you based purely on difference of opinion, let’s not conflate the two. This thread is about the latter, while downvotes are just another form of free speech.

While the US does have a lot of soft power in influencing nations, they certainly aren’t making the rules for other countries and puppeting them.

This is a very rosy eyed statement. The “soft” power is the visible part, just the tip of the iceberg.

I came here to type that, so I’ll just upvote yours instead. Such a versatile device, the Steam Deck!

Blockchain mathematically guarantees trust… for info stored on the blockchain. What guarantee do you have that this info matches things that happen in reality?

If you say: we need a social contract to ensure people update the blockchain, then I say: that defeats the purpose of the heavy lifting you need to mathematically guarantee info on the blockchain is genuine. Let’s just have a social contact to pay the artist when appropriate.

I don’t see what other way could exist to keep the blockchain and reality in sync.

Ok, ok, hold on - what’s being sold here? A link to a digital asset or something else? If it’s a link, I still don’t get the point. Does that link (or whatever it is) confer some kind of license? What’s the use case for faking this data and why are we defending from this?

If you are referring to scam artists, you are 100% right! Also, some actual artists might have got some money out of it, but I suspect the majority of dough that exchanged hands went to the former kind.

Awesomely described - you have a way with words… mindbleach.

I’m sorry to hear people having issues with FF. I remember the instability spell it had way back (6, 7 years ago?) but I’ve had zero issues with it on Mac, Linux and Android.

Ouch, not sure how that happened. Here: https://www.humanetech.com/course

I updated the post as well, thanks for flagging!

Oh, I thought 3rd party apps stopped working on Reddit? Or is Sync different?

Coursera should let you take (most parts of most) courses for free but without the ability to get a certificate (which you cannot get from a ripped course either). Have you tried that?
