Except for the missing #a11y on the GDM login screen, Solus GNOME looks pretty good on my machines. For the time being, I have myself automatically logged in. #GNU #Linux #UX Not sure if Solus Mate includes orca; would be nice. -

GM tracked the choices of radio programs in its "connected" cars, minute by minute. The cars can also listen to you, watch you, follow your movements, and track passengers' cellphones. ALL such data collection should be forbidden. https://u.fsf.org/2p5 -

Asleep at the switch!
In #2MB #MineRacer, my total time was 32 seconds! I scored 4416 points, jumped 0 pits, ducked 0 stalactites, and collected 0 coins! I ended my adventure at the bottom of a pit!
I swear! I really was banging the 'up' button and yelling "Jump"! Nothing happened. Maybe this is what I get for trying Solus #GNU #Linux JK. -

https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Role-of-a-boot-loader.html#DOCF5
The following is a quotation from Gordon Matzigkeit, a GRUB fanatic:
Some people like to acknowledge both the operating system and kernel when they talk about their computers, so they might say they use “GNU/Linux” or “GNU/Hurd”. Other people seem to think that the kernel is the most important part of the system, so they like to call their GNU operating systems “Linux systems.”
I, personally, believe that this is a grave injustice, because the boot loader is the most important software of all. I used to refer to the above systems as either “LILO”5 or “GRUB” systems.
Unfortunately, nobody ever understood what I was talking about; now I just use the word “GNU” as a pseudonym for GRUB.
So, if you ever hear people talking about their alleged “GNU” systems, remember that they are actually paying homage to the best boot loader around… GRUB!
We, the GRUB maintainers, do not (usually) encourage Gordon’s level of fanaticism, but it helps to remember that boot loaders deserve recognition. We hope that you enjoy using GNU GRUB as much as we did writing it. -

"Baby on board" signs carry a bit too much responsibility for me. What if I forget to flip it around when I park my car somewhere? I don't want people to be constantly breaking into my car to save a trapped baby. -
