You can just turn on light mode you know.

Yep, this fully makes sense.

Yeah, I don’t get it. Was this a case of the US legal system failing that damn hard? They approached this like the guy was spawned in that place with a weapon and just attacked by an angry mob. In reality he went through a bunch of very illegal ( or at least should be illegal ) steps to get himself in the situation.

Is it legal for a 17 year old to open carry a tool designed to murder people? Then crossing state lines with the tool. Putting himself in a highly charged situation with a weapon. Like wth. They just isolated the shooting and looked specifically at that without considering anything that happened before. Is that the way the US legal system approaches these things? Genuine question.

Prolly I’ll be in the minority here. But blaming the tech itself seems the wrong way to go. Technology advance and adoption has been part of our species for thousands of years, and this is no different. So needing certain tech to do our every day human activities is normal. We should focus our attention towards what large companies who control this tech (mostly) are doing with this and how they are using it in order to control us and profit from us.

A de-googled android smartphone will get rid of most of the issues caused by large tech, and still retain most of the advantages. Sadly de-googled android is not consumer - ready yet though, so it’s a real option for the more technically inclined. But then again, this might be an issue more related to technical literacy?

How is this the first time I’m hearing of this distro? It is kind of unusual that they don’t seem to specify on their website what this distro is based on though

Started using Zorin for the first time a few weeks ago. I’m a long time Linux user ( 7 years as a full time Linux user, and 3 before that on and off ). It’s really good, feels like a polished out and more reliable Ubuntu. The things they’ve done around theming make the look and feel be consistent. I know it’s mostly recommended to new users coming over from Windows world, but veterans should have a look at it as well, you might be surprised.

He annoys me so much. It’s awesome that he points out privacy issues and raises awareness. But he always points out things which are possible in theory as facts which are already happening at large. Like after some researchers showed that it might be possible to keep track of location data by using the gyroscope feature, he started to say that all non foss apps are doing that.

And to contribute to osmand+, there is the app Street Complete on fdroid. You can use it to add / correct locations and streets. It looks awesome and contributing feels like a video game. It’s honestly amazing.
