  • “Many were bound for China and India, carrying Iranian oil products, and chasing them down could complicate relations between the US and the importing nations.”

    Those are 2 countries I don’t think would react well to the USA blockading oil imports.

    I feel sorry for the people of Iran, Cuba, and China for living under dictatorships, but it’s getting difficult to feel sorry for the citizens of India and the USA considering the psycopaths they actually keep voting for.

    “for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files”

    Wouldn’t such users want a distro they can trust because people they trust have checked it to be safe? No Wikipedia article yet, no ratings or reviews on distrowatch. Why would a normal user trust a distro who’s 1st preview was announced less than a year ago? Shouldn’t the distro be targeting tinkers and super users, so they can give a thumbs up or down for the normal users?

    I trust Debian even tho I don’t have that much confidence in people who think GNOME is a good default UI. I dislike Ubuntu for many reasons, but lots of people vastly smarter than me have looked at their code for more than 20 years now.





    • Making people opt-out of AI in Preferences, AI Controls (and using a double negative there), instead of having people install the AI stuff as extensions.
    • Not recommending uBlock Origin at about:addons
    • Having “Search for text when your start typing” disabled in Preferences, General, Browsing.
    • Making people opt-out of all the garbage ads in Preferences, Home.
    • Making people opt-out of “Show search terms in the address bar on results pages” in Preferences, Search. Jesus fucking Christ, UX rules 1-4 are do no mess with links, Back, Forward, or the address bar.
    • Not including the NoAI or the Lite versions of DuckDuckGo in Preferences, Search.

    Anyone know why LibreWolf isn’t in Debian repos? I know there’s a Flatpak, but I don’t know if it can be trusted since mintinstall says it’s by an “Unknown maintainer”.

    According to the new testament, Jesus did not “die” so his people can be forgiven “once”. According to that idiotic fairytale, his people can be forgiven over and over (unless they insult that 1 specific ghost). This means they can rape children and then be forgiven, they can help a genocide and then be forgiven, they can make the biosphere unlivable and then die with everything else but if they say the magic words just before they die - they go to blissful heaven.
