Pick one that has a wireguard config generator, so you don’t need to use any client software besides the normal linux wg client.

I’d also look for one that accepts anonymous payment methods. Even if you don’t intend to go to the trouble to use that yourself, it’s probably a good sign if it’s available. Mullvad is pretty safe and served me well until they stopped doing port forwarding. Proton, windscribe, azire, and airvpn were the ones that seemed most recommended when I went to look for a new one a few months ago.

I think that’s just some scrabble players angry at all the non-words

I spent a small moment wondering whether or not this was the real Olga Loiek in the video, but I guess the heuristic that says the real one is probably the one who’s not telling you how great China is or which brand of makeup to buy still works for now.

Polls show that approximately one third to two thirds of Canadians think that Canada should increase its defence spending, depending on how you phrase the question. It remains unknown how many would answer positively if asked “would you like to pay more in taxes to have higher government spending on defence?”

It was rc6 that finally fixed the amdgpu bug that’s been annoying me for the past two months after I switched to a newer kernel than my distro came with in order to make some stupid ML stuff work. Probably it was the change described as “fix the runtime resume failure issue” I suppose. Whatever the problem was, it’s gone now. If your graphical session sometimes fails to come back after the monitors were powered off for a while, 6.8 may be the kernel for you.

That’s the problem with going out of your way to get a newer kernel. It has some new features but also some new bug and before you know it you’re spending Sunday nights compiling the latest rc builds straight from Linus.

Only 1 in 100 Americans knows that HTML was named for “hot metal” after a type of ancient torture device.

ranked ballots will not lead to more representative governments

Perhaps not. The only thing we can be certain they’d give us would be a better voting system.

Well, she’s not wrong that we need more influential people fighting back against this latest push in the global coordinated effort to put an end to communications privacy. It’s really quite alarming how little attention it seems to get most of the time. Civil society seemed much more robust when it fought off similar attacks in the 1990s. I do hope that the “VC community” isn’t our only hope.

But of course Signal can’t interoperate with another messaging platform, without them raising their privacy bar significantly

Signal is supposed to be free software. You could probably manage to interoperate at least with other operators of actual Signal-Server instances, if you wanted to.

No wonder people sometimes say F1 is hard to follow. Are these unaccountable rumour-mongers trying to fuel the scandal for the benefit of Mercedes, or are they trying to make it look like someone else fabricated the scandal for the benefit of Mercedes?

It’d have to be pretty long to get all the way to a conclusion that meaningless.

To help make skittish people feel at ease with the concept, why not give it a friendly on-screen avatar? Perhaps something like a cute little animated paperclip.

localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

The colour is a little unusual as well.

More importantly, you don’t need to be on an airplane to use airplane mode.

Well, if what you want is inexpensive, simple, and durable you might be looking for my favourite keyboard which apparently they’re still selling. I haven’t needed a new one in 15 years or so but it doesn’t look like they’ve changed the design at all.

Whether a “mechanical” keyboard is worth it just depends on your taste, but in my experience they do wear out much more quickly than this thing I’m typing on.

Kids should focus on the one thing AI can’t do: Stand-up comedy.

“Piracy shield” sounds pretty stupid. It needs more of a catchy name. “The Great Melonian Firewalls” maybe?

This green tea I’m sipping made my mind sufficiently relaxed and agile to see that punchline coming from a mile away.

Your post calling for peoplpe to contribute something of value to the discussion contributes nothing of value to the discussion. This comment adds to the noise by pointing it out. Such is the way of Internet forums since time immemorial.

Pointing to android and chromeos as successful examples of immutable systems is a very effective way to convince some of us to avoid the immutable distros.
