this is DANGEROUS ground to tread on lemmy ☠️

I’ve seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

Was the infant alright? AHT is no joke

Zorin seems good. I unfortunately had crashing issues with it, but that was a long time ago (a few years, but I think it was in beta back then).

Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)

Ubuntu is lame. OP conveniently missed LM (desktop users) and Debian (servers)

I’m also disappointed that we now have AI browsers, which is scary and not a good direction to go in.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you say this? In context of something like ChatGPT, it makes sense, but what do you think about stuff like local LLMs as assistants and embedded in browser infra?

The stuff listed in OP doesn’t really seem like much concern. “What you put on the internet is there forever!” is completely true, and things like this should only make it more concrete that you can’t rely on your service provider to delete information somebody else already archived.
With that being said, default privacy settings - at least on Kbin - seem pretty bad.

i think the shitcoin trend and NFT shit is over, but crypto as a technology and cryptocurrency certainly isn’t. I don’t see BTC, ETH, XMR dying aaanytime soon, especially the former and the latter - they’re gold standard on the net already. Overengineered crypto like ETH seems to be less popular now.
