At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right…?

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it’s a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn’t happen with X11.

I love Linux, but I don’t think that Linux users should promote it like it’s a free Windows, because it isn’t. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn’t go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

China hasn’t been communist in a long time.

Try reading slower. Look up words you don’t understand with a dictionary.

You’re misinformed. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.

All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I’ve been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

What do you mean by “actually work in the real world”? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

Also:

• Anything that mentions LGBTQ people
• Anything that insults the US or its flag
• Any religion that isn’t Christianity

(Not an exhaustive list)

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.

It’s not about pulling the plug. It’s about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.

If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it’s going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.

Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they’ve never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.

Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.

Now, how are they different?

“The flood of crap” isn’t what people should be worried about. They should be worried about Meta embracing, extending, and extinguishing the Fediverse. There’s a good article about this here. People are worried about the wrong things and don’t realize what’s at stake.

But what about Winidows?

It’s possible to be pro-Palestine and anti-Hamas.

Another cool thing is Ventoy. Install it to a thumb drive with a bunch of different distro ISOs, and you try out all kinds of flavors of Linux with installing them.

How so?

graffito*

One graffito, two graffiti.

Does it actually help with pickpockets though?

I’ve never had it stolen, so…perhaps?

I feel like if anything, it advertises its location

Where else would it be? Don’t right-handed people store it in their right front pocket? And since most people are right-handed…you’re going to be correct most the time.

with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

That would be a helluva strong yank, though, and it would certainly be much more difficult than just lifting the wallet out. Nothing is going to be 100% secure. It’s about making the theft as difficult as possible.

I don’t understand why anybody wouldn’t use a chain wallet. You don’t have to worry about your wallet falling out or getting pickpocketed.
