Elon Musk's X temporarily down for tens of thousands of users
  • That would explain the uptick in idiocy on Threads.

  • Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide
  • The problem is that there are 70+ million "frogs" in this country who are being told that being boiled alive is good for them - and they believe it without question, and will fight anyone that says otherwise.

  • Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims
  • Plus, to double the mileage registered by using different size tires, you'd have to put a roughly 10" tire on a Model Y.

  • China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech
  • They'd better not cut off supplies of fried rice and crab rangoon! We'll have a REAL problem if they do that!

  • What could possibly go wrong? DOGE to rapidly rebuild Social Security codebase.
  • I would bet that there will be an "accidental" bug in the code that deletes every single Social Security account.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Exactly. And if you use a desktop like Cinnamon or KDE Plasma, it really isn't that different, other than how you install software. I fully believe anyone can use it. Especially since the majority of computer users tend to only use them for browsing the web, email and light gaming. The learning curve is minimal.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yes, Mint uses Cinnamon desktop by default, which I believe was forked from Gnome. I like it, although I'm using Kubuntu at the moment. Cinnamon has that Windows-y look and feel to it, and retains some of the Gnome advantages.

  • Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?
  • Not interested in what will most likely just be yet another right-wing bullshit platform.

  • CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros
  • I've got a 34mm penis and 12 dollars. Any takers? Ladies?

  • Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks?
  • I would buy lots of tacos from a truck playing “Lowrider”.

  • Linux is fucking awesome
  • I've had good luck with several Lenovo laptops. ThinkPads and IdeaPads. Everything but the fingerprint readers just works.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yes. If you hover over the small $ next to the amount, it says "converted from CA$..."

  • Mark Zuckerberg says anyone who quits Meta is 'virtue signaling'
  • How does he say anything with all that Cheetos dust caked on his lips?

  • A special 911 for CEOs who feel threatened
  • Maybe set up something like Disney Pass, or whatever it's called. Let the CEOs pay for preferential 911 service. And make them pay a LOT.

  • Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.
  • I've had very good luck with my HP Smart Tank printer. It just works, in both Debian and Fedora distros. Gets automatically configured, and both printing and scanning work flawlessly. Arch based distros are another story :-(

  • How to ditch dual boot?
  • Try Distro Hopping. Then, next week when you switch to yet another distro, you can just erase the entire disk and install Linux.

  • What is your linux backup strategy?
  • May I ask why you prefer that over Google Drive, or others such as Dropbox or Mega? I used it extensively when I used Windows, but that's been several years.

  • Linux is easy!
  • You have entered TRON. Say hello to Jeff Bridges when you see him.

  • Companies that use desktop Linux
  • I wish my employer (state government) would use Linux. But unfortunately, they are all in with Microsoft. Everything has gone that way. SharePoint, Microsoft hosted Exchange, OneDrive, etc... And it's as horrible as you can imagine. It's awesome when I can't access my personal files because Microsoft servers are down. And don't get me started on the CrowdStrike fiasco!

  • Is it possible to change which folder the file manager will show when opening the file manager?
  • I'm using Cinnamon on Fedora, but I'm guessing it should be the same in Mint. Open the Menu Editor (right-click on the Mint menu and select Edit Menu) Locate the "Files" entry. Right click on it and select Properties. In the Command box, add a space after the %U then Downloads. So the Command should be nemo %U Downloads.

  • Post Body Font Size

    I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to change the font/font size in the body of posts. I can change text for just about everything else, but can't find where to change the post body font.
