I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.

Avoiding “crypto” obfuscates the truth and avoids the scammy reputation that crypto now has. Calling it “open source” also lets it slide into more communities.
It’s just marketing for a YouTube channel.
If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.
Good to know. Thanks!
It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.
One suspects, for numerous reasons, that your employer will never allow any user, especially a North American, to stop data collection by the central servers.
However, you might refer the customer to your colleagues in the EU. They will have stronger data protections that could be used to force the issue. The Europeans might be able to share how it works with your North American customer.
Mint on a couple of old laptops. Debian command line on a hobby server. Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi.
Didn’t love Arch (too complicated for my skills at the time). Fedora was okay and would do in a pinch. I remember liking OpenSUSE, but went back to Mint for some reason that I don’t remember (probably driver- or repo-related).
I’ll likely never try it myself, but I’ve known new users who did ok with Zorin.
Now what’s Putin going to do? Put his shirt back on?
I actually prefer these to true strawberries. They’re much more subtle and interesting.
Not OP, but I’ve been low-key looking for a good photo album software too. This looks interesting. Thanks!
I’d forgotten about the bootloader. I only dual booted with XP for a few months before wiping the drive and dedicating that machine to Mint.
It’s blasphemy in some circles, but I never recommend Ubuntu. Mint seems much more straightforward and easier to make it feel like Windows for new users. There’s a Debian-based version if you prefer it.
I run Mint (Ubuntu version) on a couple of old laptops. But I use Debian on a Linode (Akamai) cloud server for a little hobby project. It’s a good distro.
It isn’t all that difficult to install a dual-boot setup, so you can choose at startup which OS to use.
What evidence links video games to violent thinking? I’m unaware of any.
That question aside, there’s simply no evidence that gaming impacts behavior, which as you suggest is the major interest here.
One thing I wish we could ban are opportunistic suits from hungry law firms that are just hoping that these companies will settle rather than fight an obviously frivolous suit. This is an insult to the civil legal system
Agreed on all points.
Video games do not promote violence according to any modern ethical research on the question.
I can’t imagine the pain of these families, and I’d want to lash out at any available target, too. They might even get lucky and have a settlement offer from Activision rather dragging everyone through a trial. But if this even makes it into a courtroom, I would bet that it will ultimately go nowhere. There’s just no credible evidence to support the claim.
Of course, since the US rescinded its signature to the Rome Statute, the ICC doesn’t officially exist to these lawmakers. Isn’t screaming at imaginary boogeymen a sign of mental deficiency?
I guess they have to drag it out for diplomatic reasons, but the High Court has set a condition that the US cannot satisfy: The State Department nor the Department of Justice can guarantee that he would be granted First Amendment rights. It’s established precedent in US law that constitutional rights only apply to citizens. Judicial independence prevents them enforcing any agreement to the contrary.
Certainly efforts to influence the newsroom should be reported. But it’s a stretch to say that this may imperil the Post.
