Oh, that makes more sense. I appreciate the clarity!

• I’m not sure what you mean. Lack of desktop icons is only valuable to people who want that (I don’t, and I remove them on my Plasma systems).
• Gnome has a minimize button, and you need only turn it on in Tweaks > Windows.
• You can change themes in Tweaks > Appearance, and you can install themes by script or by manually dropping the files where they need to go (something you sometimes have to do on Plasma, too).
  • You can further adjust themes with extensions or scripts. Unless you change themes often, quick theme swapping is not a feature everyone needs or wants. How often are people doing this IRL?
• I can right click all my menu and dash/dock icons and get an app-specific context menu, so I’m not sure what you mean with this gripe.
• Systray is one of the things I don’t like about Plasma, and I wish they’d find a different solution. It’s bad enough on Windows.

I run both DEs on different systems, and they’re both good and bad at different things, but they both have comparable feature sets. Their workflows are different, yet you can do virtually all the same things in each.

Functionality like what?

Good! This is the real story. Hope it goes somewhere.

Let these people go to court over it or just shut the hell up already. Secret proof doesn’t mean shit if you don’t do anything with it.

Telegram should not be considered an encrypted solution, due to the opt-in nature of their encryption. The owner regularly collaborates with law enforcement, as well.

Signal. SimpleX is my backup.

Seriously. If I had an event, and a bunch of Nazi idiots wanted to dress like chickens and hand out free tacos, they’re not the winners in that scenario. I get free tacos, and they’re the idiots in the chicken suits.

It is, but this data is useful to anthropologists and political analysts. They can’t work off of gut feels and vibes.

Enjoy getting replaced at that job, you mean. If they’re replacing recruitment, those companies don’t value what humans bring to the table.

And this whole endeavor will probably result in catching 0.01% more violent criminals and cost 1000% more money.

But at least we’ll all be safe from those dangerous 4yo immigrants! /s

But only the “good guys” will have keys to the new back door! When have bad guys ever been able to get into a back door?

They stopped putting aluminum in homes, because it has a tendency to overheat more. The aluminum expands and contracts with load more than copper, which can loosen contact points and encourage oxidation, which then increases resistance and heat. Hot wires in the walls and outlet boxes are no bueno.

Premium supported. You get plenty with the free tier, but you get lots more with paid.

I hope few order one. Fuck fascists!

Stop feeding the troll. He thrives on the attention, negative or positive. If it’s positive, he was right all along. If it’s negative, he’s a martyr.

Stop treating him like he has any legitimate thing to say, and let him fade into irrelevance.

These AI apologists are deranged.

Start taking your privacy back. Use aliases and throwaways whenever possible. https://addy.io/ is free and allows you to create lots of aliases and then delete them later.

Because that’s not authoritarian enough.

I like your idea, but the bourgeoisie aren’t shopping on Etsy. Etsy shoppers are regular folk with very little political power (on their own).

What your idea might do is piss off the Etsy shoppers who voted for him, and to that I say: every little bit helps.

Telegram is not private. When are people going to learn?
