If you know the saying. Anon heard it the first time.

The solution is being honest instead of hinting.

The question should be "How do countries/EU accept most of their citizens surveilled by a monopolistic company subject to a foreign country's intelligence agency?".

I don't think it's my personal responsibility to care unless I'm casting a vote. I don't have enough extra energy to avoid surveillance anyway. Expecting billions of people each to take personal responsibility of finding out how to de-google, de-apple, de-microsoft, de-amazon, de-meta is too much. What percentage of people can install and configure Linux and Graphene OS and move everything from normal social media to Lemmy and Mastodon? We see the answer in current reality.

the good of humanity as a whole

My headcanon is that the Borg in Star Trek began with an AGI with that exact main goal.

linked word scrolls under the cursor and the popover appears

Nobody wants that. It's bug report worthy.

Big money / venture capitalists prefer to fund people of their kind: the ruthless. They also accept the spineless they can boss around. That's gone on for centuries, so the good funders have been trampled and gone extinct.

The whole CLI. Linux should automatically generate default GUIs from manpages and code, to be developed further by the crowd of users on the desktop. It's pointless to handcraft both interfaces one app at a time.

I like Linux Mint (compared to Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows) because usually right-clicking takes me closer to the solution I'm looking for, but it doesn't allow me to dig deep enough. It should be discoverable all the way from the desktop to what makes it tick. Think of Smalltalk by Alan Kay in Xerox PARC in the 1970s, or what it would be now had it been mainstream all this time. #discoverability #explorability

No, can't be lack of anything, it was the regular Mint 21.3 installer image overwriting Debian on a normal ext4 formatted partition. Nothing should have gone wrong. Reinstalled with formatting on, and it started working.

"Hadn't" means "had not" (not done in the past), not "had not" (lacked possession). I'm Finnish and might be wrong.

Mine did that when I chose not to format the "/" partition when installing.

Did it really fulfil the requirement?
