It is said in the development community that as a junior you write more code and think less, and when you become more senior you think more and write less code.

It’s an old meme but checks out.

Even with ublock-origin with quite extensive blocking rules and browsers enhanced tracking protection the ny times website was 10 MB to load.

Accounts already require your “full name” but we don’t consider that “full name verification”.

They don’t require anything. You can leave that empty or just put John Doe. All that is required for an account on a Linux system is a username and a password.

“Slippery slope” does not apply here

Most definitely applies here. Who determines what is not appropriate for children? Today it’s sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. Tomorrow it could be helpful information related to LGBTQ+++ subjects. And so on.

Computer systems have had parental controls forever already. They are the once that should be used. Not to implement another expansion of surveillance.

About 20 years ago it was terrorism. Now it’s “think of the children” as terrorism went out of fashion as a reason to implement fascist surveillance state.

In the civilized Europe ambulance rides are free or cost next to nothing.

This is the way.

Based on the readme this basically brings some Kotlin null handling and immutability as an add-on to Java projects. For a fresh project I recommend Kotlin. For an existing project this might add some value.

As for immutability Java already has options for that like the final keyword or immutable collections.

Overall an interesting idea. NPEs are way too common in Java code. Even the original creator of null feels it was a mistake to begin with.

Not all built-in apps had that option but for everything else you can.

block them from accessing the Internet on non-GrapheneOS phones

This is an important feature in GrapheneOS. You can deny network access for any app.

Evolution is a Gnome software so you’ll probably need to install gnome-keyring.

I use session restore with my KDE and most windows end up back to the workspace they were. It’s somewhat annoying that not all go back to where they were but I’ve learned to live with it. May or may not have anything to do with kwin rules as I’ve not manually set anything.

You can always use virustotal if you want extra malware checks.

The US has truly become the Fourth Reich.

Have ran into the same problem at some. Try running btrfs balance on your drive. Both metadata and normal data. It won’t delete anything. On my phone so grabbed just q quick linking https://commandmasters.com/commands/btrfs-balance-linux/.You need to run it bit by bit (see the filters).

You answer your question yourself with

in fear of breaking something and having to reinstall (and losing something in the process)

Version upgrades are a big thing and unexpected things can happen. Would you be a happy user if the system auto updated to the next version and something truly broke? By forcing manual upgrade they can better inform users about possible unexpected things, and e.g. advice to do backups first. Thus users would be more prepared for this. Also version upgrades take a lot longer time than normal updates since it has update all packages, do other changes to the system etc.

Xrdp won’t work if there is already an active user session locally with the same user account that is trying to connect remotely.

I truly hate this. At work I’ve told everyone that if they just send a “hello” message it will be ignored. I have things to do other then going twenty rounds of “hello” before getting into the actual subject.
