While people in power are absolute evil most of the time, this is not an excuse to change your own morals for the worse.

Small acts of kindness, when taken in decent quantity, change the world no less than massive fraud and sex trafficking.

That said, one of the most moral things to do is to be on the lookout for powerful people doing nasty things and do everything in your capacity to prevent or at least retaliate. This makes abuse less common, and goes a long way to restore democracy and responsibility for everyone.

I’d say go KDE.

GNOME looks like it will be good for portable devices, but it’s kinda not.

First, in my experience, Fedora on GNOME completely ignores battery limits (which are also set by jumping through so many hoops you can’t even imagine). It just drains this thing to 0, which is not great for longevity. KDE, on its end, has it all in the GUI and it works flawlessly on all distros I tested.

Second, KDE has made plenty of great optimizations for touchscreens. A while ago, it was not great, but now it’s just the best at handling them, especially if you theme it respectively and do not rely on defaults.

Third, customizations are so much better in KDE. You can make her laptop look and feel like a MacBook in no time, and edit everything to be touch-friendly.

One thing GNOME does well though for the use case you describe, though, is app theming, namely Adwaita. Luckily, Adwaita-themed apps and style editors for the rest are freely available on KDE, and you can even change their look as you like.

So, yeah, go KDE.

To clarify against what many people jump to assume: Collective Shout is not a religious organization. Its stated goal is protecting children against content they believe may help form dangerous and abusive behaviors in real life. (Needless to say, science does not seem to back these claims)

This doesn’t make them right by any means at all, but we need to understand our enemy if we want to be productive in fighting it.

Alright, you bought me with this

Amazing presentation and nice that you have a demo!

Could be, but how do you verify such claim?

You cannot assume gender by the position a given person takes, it’s antithetical to a productive discussion and may only serve to reinforce your (likely false) views.

Being alive is the only time when you can influence something, and as such, when your actions mean something.

When you’re dead, it’s over. There could be an opportunity for you to make something better for others or for your own enjoyment - but now all chances are gone.

So, why letting go of this amazing ability?

My apologies, I missed that one!

This is probably going to seem wildly low-effort compared to my usual posts here

My man, you just compiled tons of obscure posters from the corners of the Internet. I admire your dedication, and this does take an effort.

That’s a useful addition, thanks!

Just to open it gently

Short answer? I don’t.

What if your worldview just happens to align neatly with your temperament, your social environment, or whatever gives you emotional relief?

It does. The things is, though - I happen to prominently share basic human values, such as kindness, mutual aid, cooperation, and care, all of which are normally seen as “good”.

My social environment is very median, and I do understand the regular person as I am one. I know the struggles people in my group face, and am open-minded about struggles of others outside it.

I feel relieved in the world where people are good to each other, and if that’s not what we strive for, then humanity has abandoned the very core of its own morals. When such basic things are betrayed, it’s always a sign of corruption, an attempt to justify greed, or selfishness, or something else.

Then comes the critical examination of ideas that claim to lead us there, whether they could be contradictory and leave us with a very different place than we intended, either because not enough thinking went into original concept, or because it was a con to begin with, clearly serving the corrupt interest of the few.

Fair!

The vote resulted negatively, BTW, as far as I’ve heard. 32-bit are there for now.

Fedora is just a no-drama distro that works, and I love it

It’s a very recent development, so no wonder you missed it. Yes, Pewdiepie went full Arch with Hyprland and made his Steam Deck into a server and I’m not even joking :D

Then it’s a good thing he owns up to his mistakes? Maybe a group of Linux haters following him will change their mind as well.
