I just thought some of you might find this amusing..btw I like Chinese music:
Las Vegas, NV – The Voting Machine Hacking Village at this year’s DEFCON 26 hacking conference was crowded with hackers of all ages proving just how vulnerable the US voting system is to data tampering.

Many on here make themselves out to be accepting and open to new people. Yet Wil Wheaton gets so much abuse, he was forced off the platform.
Like I said, great work folks. ☹️

@kev I read somewhere that governments consider you a suspicious individual if you're not on at least three social networks. You terrorist.

@kev reminds me of spotlight. Didn't gnome shell have this functionality at one point?

A conversation i recently had:
Me: You need to put on your privacy hat. When you are considering these things.
Them: Oh? Is that the tin foil one?
Me: It might be made of foil, yes...

@ChrisWere oooooo oooooo he went there!!!
Fosstodonians, send all the Tooooots!! 😁
I'm not a gamer, but I'd be well up for that.
Also, I just made up a word - "Fosstodonian" I like that!

@kev great read. I will say I thought about your points, and when all is said and done you are largely correct. Modern hardware is hugely powerful compared to that of just five years ago.. still there is a case for thrifty software.... At least in an ideological sense.
Cheers!

So, 30 minutes after installing and my BRAND NEW #UbuntuMate system is ready to go. Literally, everything is configured and all my apps are installed - my new install script worked a treat and it saved a tonne of time. 😀
Just need to wait for all my files to sync from my #Synology and I'm done. Goddam I love #Linux!

@kev as I recall, a certain Mr. Torvalds( first name eludes me) gave them(Nvidia) the finger and told them to procreate with themselves. Just saying.

fatboy - Google Play Store needs an Open Source Category. A place where all good software/apps reside

If you like the idea of decentralized communication, using federated instances, you could maybe check out peertube. (Seeing as we are all about de-googleing and all)

@kev love your sense of humor. Maybe I'll be 7334 someday, if I don't get haX0r3d first!

@kev I am getting notifications now Kev.. Your?

Well,
I just dumped Ubuntu Mate and went back to the community continuation of #! Linux, Bunsenlabs.
Loving it.
