That's a new metaphor for me. I like it! And I want some chips now. Either the British or American kind.
I feel like most everyone* who cares about distros likes Debian. It may not be the right distro for your use case, but you're glad it's around.
* I'm sure even Debian has it's haters. But I think it's a minority.
Or just a pun that went over my head. Either way, thanks for the answer!
I went to check this setting and it seems to rely on "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla". Which I, and imagine many of my fellow lemmings already have disabled.
Check and confirm though, of course.
I'm guessing there's some story with spa sex? "Elon Spa Sex" isn't a search term I'm willing to enter.
Found it mentioned as an alternative when Reddit announced their API changes.
My guess is we're still too small and niche to be a tempting target.
I think the federated nature of lemmy will make it an easy target when it does come along though.
Disclaimer: I don't really know what I'm talking about.

For those curious how old, this picture seems likely to be from her 47th birthday. They were born on St. Patrick's day in 1945, and there's mention in the Wikipedia article of leading the St. Patrick day parade to aid with funding.
I hadn't heard the term radiation fog before. I figured it probably wasn't as scary as it sounded (to me) and indeed it's not.
Some suggestions for solid state alternatives as old mechanical magnetic storage has such a high failure rate. But retro whatever way you want, of course!
You can get ide to compact flash or ide to sata adapters and get some reasonably modern solid state hard drive storage in there, if that interests you. I understand (haven't tried personally) that compatibility can be kind of a crapshoot though.
You can also get a gotek which has a floppy interface and can load floppy images from a USB thumbdrive. Which might be a more functional option than getting a USB floppy drive for a modern machine.
I've heard of one of them and consumed content from none of them.
I'm not familiar with the brand, but general ideas that come to mind to troubleshoot are:
- Disable secureboot if enabled. Understanding you'll lose that security feature of course.
- See if there's an option to mark your storage as removable in the installer (--removable flag in grub iirc). My (pretty old) motherboard does not seem to respect attempts to add uefi entities but it happily boots off a "removable" uefi install.
According to the plan linked in the article https://mailchi.mp/press.kamalaharris.com/vice-president-harris-lays-out-agenda-to-lower-costs-for-american-families this tax credit would be for low and middle class families. Which I agree with and like. Help those that need it.
Edit: copy/pasta of the relevant bit: "Vice President Harris is proposing a new plan to get tax relief to more than 100 million Americans. Her plan will expand the Child Tax Credit to provide a $6,000 tax cut to families with newborn children. Unlike Trump and Vance, Vice President Harris is committed to ensuring no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in new taxes."
To an extent. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if sometime in the near future they force the use their own DNS servers within their browser instead of respecting your network configuration.
The best solution to circumventing Chrome's bad behavior is to not use it.

True. Yet another linchpin.
Edit: spelling.
Signal is centrally hosted thus it's proverbial rug can be pulled.
It depends on the implementation.
If there's no voice chat, text based chat participation is considered optional, and the in-game community isn't toxic, then I might get chatty.
I also bought around the same time. I had gotten a decent paying position a couple years prior and cleared out my bad debt and improved my credit score.
I had nothing saved up, but it occured to me that I was otherwise well positioned to buy a home, so I saved as much as I could from my regular income and started doing gig work on top of that, and I scraped together a 5% down payment for a small starter home in my area then made a purchase.
I feel like common knowledge would say rushing in to a house purchase and depleting all your savings in doing so is irresponsible. But it ended up quite accidentally being one of the best financial choices I've ever made. My mortgage is less than rent for most apartments in my area.
I realize my luck though. And good for me, but it sucks that it's increasingly out of reach for so many.
They can be slow to adopt changes. I think the Mozilla foundation getting more funding, staffing, and refocusing on their browser would be the better solution.
While Chromium is an open source project, it is still developed and maintained by Google. For something as important as a web browser, I think it's imperative that there's an option outside of their control.
