Hot take
  • I have used Fedora for nearly all the time I've daily driven Linux, and haven't encountered any problem that a newbie would encounter and couldn't overcome, excluding distro-agnostic stuff. Yeah, the h264 shit sucks, but if you use flatpaks you shouldn't have to worry about it. And if you ever have to face SELinux, then you're probably doing something that's beyond beginner level.

  • Outrage as Oklahoma Republican’s bill labels Hispanic people ‘terrorists’
  • So much for Republicans being "tough on crime," this law would be more effective (for the purpose of fighting street crime) if they just removed the whole racist bullshit. Of course, that's not what this law is intended to do. This is some stupid political game where Republicans present a bill that is "intended" to fight street crime. Every sane person and media establishment will see and criticise it for being racist, which it is. Then Republicans and Fox can yell about how those darn woke communists "don't care about the community" and "aren't tough on crime." Also did I mention it's hella racist? Because it's hella racist.

  • Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays
  • I've recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.

  • I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.
  • Wow, didn't think something like that had happened. That is a valid concern. However, it could be mitigated by disabling auto update and subscribing to the GitHub releases via RSS. Then you can either manually check for malicious commits, or if the extension is more popular, wait a bit for any bad news to come out about the update. Obviously, this isn't possible for everyone and every extension, so I can understand why people would be cautious of more extensions, but I think Libredirect is a big enough extension that you would hear about it, like the case with Nano Adblocker.

  • Sanders says Trump reelection would be the ‘end of democracy’
  • Oh, how dare they use legal mechanisms to try to prosecute a person who participated in insurrection against the United States? And yes, Facebook is a shining example of collusion with the radical leftists. As we all know, they have never helped our glorious leader Tonald Drump gain power.

  • Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees
  • I haven't used Discord in a while so YMMV but I used to use WebCord and screen sharing worked pretty well IIRC. It uses an up-to-date Electron version which has better support for modern desktop Linux protocols. There are probably plenty of other alternative clients that just repackage the web app with better Linux support. There's also gtkcord4 which is a native Gtk client, though definitely not as polished as the official client.

  • Gotta follow that rule
  • This guy gets it. Obviously the graffitist is making commentary on the darn radical leftists at Ford and Dodge, and how they want to "stop global warming" (like that's a thing, I'm very cold right now!) and "save people money."
