Q4OS, a very user-friendly Debian-based OS.

TDE aka Trinity Desktop Environment, a fork of KDE 3.

Since the protests began, one of the subreddits I used to frequent now has an abnormally high number of comments; this might explain why.

We get lots of practice with that during winter months here in Florida.

I’m from the States and love this one:

The Church - Under The Milky Way

Only got two points because you made their heads hurt. ;)

Everybody seemed to crash while searching for images on Google.

I’m experiencing this with Q4OS 3 (Centaurus), which under the hood is Debian 10 (Buster) – and with the supposedly more stable Firefox ESR.

(Now using DuckDuckGo as an image search workaround.)

Kind of like an MG, but reliable.

Honestly, it’s mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we’re helpless to do anything about it.

Sometimes it’s a matter of necessity:

For tech-weary Midwest farmers, 40-year-old tractors now a hot commodity

I think it’s also a fear of the unknown, kind of like those who are hesitant to move from Windows to Linux. They would rather tolerate garbage because it’s familiar garbage.

Huffman said in an interview that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest, comparing them to a “landed gentry.”

WhitePeopleTwitter shows solidarity with the current protests on reddit against the fundamental changes to site architecture.

This moderated thread will remain open for everyone to comment in.

The second sentence contradicts the first, an empty gesture about as meaningless as “thoughts and prayers.”

it looks like the mods are just being dicks.

Business as usual, apparently. I once received an automod notice that I didn’t have enough karma points to post a link. (At that point I had accumulated many karma points, but not in that sub.)

So I messaged the mods and asked what the minimum was, since it wasn’t stated anywhere in the rules. The reply? “Sorry, we can’t disclose that.” Wait, what?
