That was one of the first distros to support Wayland, so it has my begrudging respect.

Fuck ads, they're everywhere at every level. I want to see less of them, not more.

IIRC Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans coexisted for some time, so it could be not about things that aren't human, but humans that are different. To this day, xenophobia and ethnocentrism are common attitudes.

iPhone reveal events have become basically:

a) Offering as new what other brands have offered as standard for years.

b) Offering something new that only works if you buy more Apple.

I have an iPhone, and couldn't wait for the iOS 17 release so I installed the beta. Underwhelming is the right word, the event has no right to be named "wonderlust".

Risk is practically nothing in your case, because you're being careful, and know what you're doing. You won't run a binary when you were expecting the Barbie movie, for example.

If you were downloading binaries, then your risk is significant, but even then, unless you're downloading new releases immediately, it's likely that your antivirus will catch the new popular ransomware after a few days, when a few thousands of people have become infected. Governments won't employ valuable zero-days on any rando who just wants to see their new isekai episode.

Then maybe unchecked ads weren't a good idea to begin with.

Because software is very brittle these days, it would occasionally perform surprise lasik on your guests.

Especially your security programs, like third-party antivirus or firewalls. They can install system-level plugins in your browsers, and sometimes those don't work well. Windows defender and the built in firewall are good enough and play nice with other programs.

Probably because beautiful melons had it easy, while the ugly melons had to work on their personality and talent to make up for the shunning they got from the melon community. Big Melon always presents attractive melons on media, making it harder for ugly melons.

The only viable way to control the Fediverse is an embrace, extend, and extinguish approach.

  • Join the Fediverse
  • Pour a ton of money and manpower on your instance so most people migrate to it because it works better.
  • Reach critical mass and defederate the others.
  • Proceed to screw your users.

Anything less and you become a Fediverse backwater instead of a monopoly.
