This looks beautiful, congrats to Zorin contributors!

Zorin was, at least a few years ago, tailored to be easy to adapt to for people switching from Windows. This new version looks beautiful, I'm going to take it for a spin!

I came here to say this. Best method imo is first find the software, then find the hardware for example

  1. Lineage OS

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/tangorpro/

  1. Get a Google Pixel tablet to install that on

Ylönen, who at the time knew little about implementing strong cryptography in code, set out to develop the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH)

TIL SSH was invented by a Finn. I swear that country has the most awesome per capita of any country on earth.

Is that Netanyahu, King of Queens?

This is insane. How could Hamas publish this?

It's a hard sell to say that it was.

Israel: We are using surgical strikes and guided missles to uproot Hamas.

† 15,000 people killed †

World: So you specifically targeted all those 15,000 people?

Israel: How could you be so anti-semitic??

Narrator: Turns out they were actually not trying to minimize civilian casualties at all.

Looks like those guys will shoot anyone. With such a gross power imbalance how can they be so scared of everything?

IDF destroyed Israeli homes (with Israelis inside) when Hamas raided them on Oct 7, and now they are indiscriminantly bombing Gaza, including where the hostages might be. I don't see the logic at all. It seems like they don't care about Palestinian OR Israeli civilians.

EDIT: I just stumbled upon this video, which shows Israeli police arresting a (black) Israeli soldier for trying to cross the street. It seems racist af. I really can't figure out who they are protecting.

You're right. There is zero benefit to being an asshole, especially for the person being an asshole. Ego makes it tempting though.

Does it normally refer to politics? Maybe for Americans, and they are responsible for a good deal of the English language content online. Right, and the 2 party system...

I'm with you, though, both sides means both sides of an argument. I think the news had something on that a while back- for every climate scientist they interviewed, they had to also interview a climate denier to present a "fair and balanced" view XD

On Dec. 5, administrators, who had worked alongside Principal Garza, sought to file further charges against Murray of aggravated assault. He allegedly pulled another student's hair and tried to cut his finger with scissors, which Murray apologized for and said he had mimed cutting the boy's paper, not his finger. ... Data from Brownsville ISD seen by The Observer showed its officers made 3,102 student arrests between May 2021 and Nov. 2023. Nearly 60% of those were on felony charges and 76 of those kids were in elementary school.

This is insane. It seems like it's really true that the wickedness a nation imposes on another it will eventually impose on itself. It's especially heinous that the weakest member of the nation (a child) is subject to cruel punishment and legal charges like aggravated assault while the most powerful member (the literal president) boasts about "grabbing [women] by the pussy", has several charges of sexual assault against him, yet nothing happens. It's becoming obvious that the law is meant to keep the powerless subservient.

Voting with our dollars is much more effective. Whenever possible, don't buy evil. Evil is the cheaper option because they really need your support, or else they're beached. This is a big reason for wage stagnation and a permanent underclass.
