I say how about we don’t have anyone pretending to give special prizes on behalf of everyone else, especially not organisations named after warmongering cunts or royal cunts.

Virtue signalling. If it’s in their interest the Catholic church would fall in line in the blink of an eye.

Kinda seems like internet 101 that they should either explicitly state they don’t support emails created on VPNs or that they won’t blanket ban a VPN IP address.

Seems to me that people in the US should be starting a campaign to convince people not to submit federal taxes this year. What are the 100k or so IRS agents going to do when 170m people don’t pay?

Cunts.

I guess my 13 year abstention from purchasing Ubisoft games continues (bought HoMMVI and experienced Uplay in 2012, vowed never again).

Even better do journalctl -r -b -1 to get the latest logs first

Or you can just do journalctl -r --since "5min ago" if it just happened

Hardly surprising considering the BBC is a british establishment mouthpiece and said establishment is subordinate to the americans.

Sounds like it comes with a free trial of Norton.

These Linux Docker images may be of use to you for setup.

Most (all?) of the bad Canonical stuff is removed in Linux Mint. It’s the reason for its existence.

You do get the good stuff though like Ubuntu’s better hardware support and PPAs etc that Debian doesn’t have.

Seems like PEBCAK to me. What an embarrassing article for someone who is supposed to know about PCs for a living.

I think the author only knows about very popular games and Windows as opposed to PCs in general.

The killswitch isn’t safe for bittorrent on your own PC as they have a tendency to expose your IP briefly when the connection drops before it kicks in. Binding your torrent client to your VPN network is 100% reliable though so no need for a seedbox.

I use Duolingo every day, seems pretty effective to me.

I’m not sure how it’s a privacy nightmare. I gave them my email address for spam and a false name.

To avoid the ads, I use it via browser (firefox with ublock origin) on my phone instead of on the app.

Yeah, it’s a fantastic game. I think i’m probably at about 700 hours :D

The expansion is called Fangs of Asterkarn and is gonna have a bunch of cool stuff! I think they said it’ll be out Q1 or early Q2 next year.

I had planned to play the Metro series but instead I’m playing Grim Dawn which works out fine with the new expansion coming soon.

Fair enough, I totally agree about Ubuntu, although Mint doesn’t have most of the bad Ubuntu stuff. What it does benefit from is Ubuntu’s superior hardware support, PPAs (most important for up-to-date Mesa) and GUI stuff like Driver Manager/Update Manager. For a beginner or casual user there’s no contest.

Yes, I know Mint is downstream of Ubuntu, that’s how I know it doesn’t include Snaps. What exactly other “nonsense” is there or was your statement just a general LMDE puritan hand-wave?

Waterfox. As I understand it, Librewolf goes to extremes for privacy to the point where it may impact your browsing experience. Waterfox cares about privacy too but not to the same extreme.

Which Ubuntu stuff does Mint Cinnamon have? I thought the point of Mint was that they removed a bunch of that stuff like Snaps.

I think Koreader has built in progress sync.
