Mint is another good one, I would probably recommend against their Debian Edition(LMDE 6) though, it sounds good but, it's their newer system so it doesn't have all the bugs ironed out yet. I struggled with LMDE when I tried it last summer, which granted a lot of time has passed, but I rarely ever have an issue with their standard Linux Mint releases.

letters aren't going to do anything, neither will striking.

The current System does not legally give many ways to impeach an elected official.

It is impossible to legally remove a president from power outside of election season without the legislative branch.

Furthermore, there is no federal level system in place to allow for a recall of anyone in the legislative branch, some states have successfully implemented state level recall laws to revoke their elected officials but this is not a universal thing). Disciplinary functions in the legislative branch is predominantly decided by the branches themselves, which works fine if you have a functional branch, but if you have a branch that really doesn't care then no punishments get done

The most the everyday citizen can really do is:

1. if you are in a state that has an elected official that is being toxic/against what your state actually wants, try to encourage a state recall petition (if you are in one of the 36(12 of which need specific actions to occur to trigger it) states that allow for it AND something has occurred that was ground for your states requirements for it)
2. try to add such a system to your state if one does not exist (which would likely have to be on the ballot as well so would take awhile)
3. or further educate yourself on what is going to be available on the 2026 midterms and vote accordingly.

I don't think there is much else anyone can immediately do that might actually get anything done.

if you liked the design of older style windows (think like windows XP), you could look into Q4OS. I use it for my laptop and it's Debian based so you will have pretty decent support applications wise and it has a pretty simple UI. I had never heard of it prior to a few months ago but I have had no issues with it.

Being said, I can't remember if it has UnattendedUpgrades by default, but that program can be configured on any debian based system to allow for automatic updates. It does take a little bit of configuration if it isn't pre-installed though.

Nothing really complex behind it. If I have something to add, I do.

But you have heard of me~

I want to say I agree that Apple was put in a Lose Lose here. Building a backdoor would be detrimental, but removing the obstacle does no better. Now other countries can say "well shoot if we just force them to put a backdoor in they'll just remove the issue entirely". The main issue that the EU had with e2e is that they lacked the capability of accessing the data, Apple removing e2e in the EU moreorless said "yea sure whatever you can access the data, we just don't want you to access the rest of the worlds data"

But whats the next step for when the next country (say the US) also decides they want a piece of that action. "Oh let me remove e2e in the US as a whole as well".

This was an L across the entire board privacy and reputation wise. Apple has set the precedent that they will cave and cater to big brother corporations if it means they can stay in operation in that country. It completely destroyed all the trust that they got from the previous fight vs the US government as a result.

I don't really know what they could have done differently then fight it though.

I just don't go to social interactions, easier

Just chiming in, this is not recommended for proxmox

The documentation (FAQ 13) actually directly says that docker should be installed as a QEMU VM on proxmox and that it should not be installed on the Proxmox VE Host

the amount of software I've used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn't in it then it errors.

this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn't exist, you shouldn't allow me to run a command with it. It's clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn't, just error it and tell me that.

Because it's universal, it works, it's multi-platform, device agnostic and it's simple to use user side.

Nothing else available really fits that criteria.

The closest in todays age is probally discord or teams, but neither of which are decentralized. XMPP could work for it, but nobody really uses it anymore and to be honest the standard is ugly as hell to implement.

Browser Notifications are ineffective and have a high probability of failing or not being seen, they are more meant for real-time notices not historical notices not to mention locked to that browser.

App notifications would be amazing for things with apps, but not everyone wants to be forced into using their mobile device for everything, and it would again only be available from said app(unless you do use something like NTFY), which would generally be locked down to a device

Email sucks admin side, but there's a reason its used.

This is also ignoring the multi-use case that email allows for such as authentication as well, so if its already being stored for accounts, might as well use it for notifications

hard agree, I hate browser notifications with a hard passion, I would never see them if they swapped to that.

this is likely youtube's way of trying to persuade people into making an account, without going public that they are forcing people to make accounts.

I found it does that if im logged out on a VPN, but standard residential IP's it doesn't with.

I assume eventually it's going to just require a google account to use the service period
