Well, for example the US immediately scrambled to talk to Lebanon and work to actually avoid a war in Lebanon. They can immediately put pressure when they want to. The idea that they are helpless is just used to justify what they are doing now and throw smoke in the eyes as to their guilt and complicity.

FOSS generally puts more pressure on people to write better and safer code, because you know everyone is going to look at it. Even when vulnerabilities are found, they are usually fixed so fast compared to the proprietary side. There are stories of people waiting 6 months for Microsoft to fix a vulnerability, while an Openssh or openssl issue is usually fixed in a few days.

They can do much much more when they want to.

This is basically the plot of "Brave New World"

Thank you! This looks great. I'll give it a try

Thank you! I am on Sway but I'll take a look at this. I didn't know there were premade userChrome themes. This is awesome

I don't have any idea but I want to thank you for the link. This is not related to conveting to Epub but have you looked at K2pdfopt? It has options to optimize PDF for e-readers. It doesn't work all the time but it's worth checking out. Last I checked it has templates to deal with scientific papers.

Ok I can accept that. I am not speaking about her personally but about many people on the revolutionary left who stay on there and spend 90 percent of the time complaining about what Elon Musk did or said. There's something wrong with this "politics of negativity", where the very apparent opposition you have to something is what ultimately fuels it. It's ironic in a sense. A post complaining about Elon Musk is ultimately creating money for Elon Musk. The apparent discourse and the latent effect are diametrically opposed.

That's not the same though? We can't stop participating in Capitalism right now. But we can easily stop using Twitter as far as I'm aware. You will not die if you stop using a website. I am not saying don't participate in social media of any kind. I am saying if you can't even stop using a website because it clashes with every value you have, then what chance is there that you'll give up something even greater for the sake of the greater good? Your analogy can be used to justify not making any kind of change ever because it inconveniences us.

It seems that you want a Podcast player and an Audiobook player. I use two different apps for that : AntennaPod for podcasts and Voice for Audiobooks. You can use AntennaPod also for Audiobooks, but I like to separate the two.

But why are they still supporting platforms run by billionaires? It's so easy to talk, theorize and posture as this revolutionary figure. But when it comes down to giving up one single convenience, people freak out. I don't know if I can take these people seriously.

Speak for yourself! I have internal stereologue.

 
 

I've just switched from Fedora to Debian 12 and I can't seem to get bridge networking to work. I've followed the official guide and edited the /etc/network/interfaces. I double checked and everything is correct. I rebooted the system but my ethernet stopped working altogether. Are there any updated guides and common pitfalls that I should keep in mind. I need the bridge for kvm.
