Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! :) As you know, the modern web has gradually become a tool of control by the Powers That Be, and the man who invented the original web has had concerns about that happening since day one. Now he's finally doing something about it by developing a...

One thing I can appreciate about Linux is it's flexibility. This is why it's been used in projects like embedded systems, servers, and even NASA missions. However, despite developments to make it a usable desktop OS, it was obviously never intended to be just that, which is one of the reasons...

When my brother was younger, he used to collect video game magazines from Playstation, Xbox, Electronic Gaming Monthly, etc. If I remember correctly, he was supposedly getting rid of them around the time he was moving into his college dorm because he wouldn't have the space for them, and I've...

Because Cinnamon 20.2 was slowing down my Lenovo X200 convertible, I recently installed the XFCE version of Mint 21. Since then, I've noticed a recurring problem where it won't go into sleep mode when put the screen down, and when I put the screen back up, it logs me out. I tried restarting the...

For a while now, I've been checking out other distros so I can eventually switch to one, and Nitrux is one I want to try. I downloaded Gnome Boxes because the description said it's very easy to set up VMs. The problem is every time I try to set up any distro in a VM, I get an error message...

I recently upgraded from 90 (which still had varying degrees of tracking protection under settings > privacy and security), and now LW feels too hardened. Here's an example of it causing a website to crash: Which settings do I change to get it to stop doing this?

I'm using the 5.0.5 version in Mint 20.2 on a Lenovo X200 Thinkpad laptop/tablet. Before, I thought it might've been a hardware issue, but then I realized it wasn't after I searched for some answers online and tried a few things to troubleshoot it. I'm wondering if I need to upgrade Nemo?

While I'm not going to deny the achievements the Linux Foundation has made for Linux itself in the last several years (as there has been plenty of them), I will agree that it does have some guilt of being a corporate shill (and it has noted this criticism on occasion). To be fair, anyone...

Because I've been using Mint for the last 10 years, I recently decided its time for a different change in pace. For my new distro, I want to try out Zorin, but every time I click on "create virtual machine from file", and then click on the iso, nothing happens.

I've developed a crush on my coworker a while back, and lately I'm starting to find myself getting into a bad habit where my thoughts about her are starting to affect my completion of chores around the house. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm obsessed with her, because I can stay focused on my...

A while back, I was in the process of selling physical releases of games like 0 AD, but then I put it off because I got busy with working my day job. While I'm still interested in doing that, completing odd jobs for people, and getting other gigs set up, I'm wondering if I really need an LLC...

For those of you who remember my other thread "Make the Web Great Again", I had mentioned a handful of corporations have been trying to monopolize the web for years now. One way they've been doing that is through ecommerce sites. Just to be clear, I don't have a problem with ecommerce in and of...

I'm currently running Mint 20.2 Cinnamon on my Lenovo Thinkpad X200 laptop/tablet, and I have a Kyocera DuraXV Extreme flip phone, which runs a stripped down version of Android 9 on it. There's a picture on my computer of my cat and her late "siblings", and I want to make that my wallpaper for...

According to this recent article I found, https://www.eutimes.net/2022/03/duckduckgo-announces-mass-censorship-of-russian-disinformation/, Gabriel Weinberg, the CEO of DDG, made an announcement that he wants to decide (for you) what's factual information and what isn't. The ironic thing is...

I was on Wikipedia when I came across her death notice. What I find interesting is she was in this field, and highly respected for her work, at a time where most women would've been in the opposite situation. Because of that, I'm sure she inspired future women to follow in her footsteps...

When I was still in high school from 2008-2012, I was still a Windows user, and I remember using Microsoft Office to complete assignments. One thing I always loved about MO was when you start up one of the programs (let's say Word), one of the first thing it brings up are the large variety of...

Because of the browser wars, a small number of companies attempting to monopolize the web, personal websites becoming a dying trend, social media addiction, spyware, and numerous other issues affecting the modern web, I've occasionally been thinking about how we could remove all of them and...

I recently came across this interesting article. This woman is trying to make 911 available to the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community, as well as non-English speakers, as her family falls into both categories. It's awesome she's turned this into her purpose in life. The article...

After reading this article, https://linux.org/threads/dolphin-%E2%80%93-wii-emulator-even-the-newest-versions-of-ubuntu.37798/#post-145569, it got me wondering about if its possible to burn games onto discs or cartridges and then play them on consoles?
