Trump’s jealous!

The vast majority of people I know offline think all these protests are staged by paid actors because they can’t imagine that anyone would want to go do the right thing without asking “What’s in it for me?” It’s insane.

They should be forced to upgrade existing infrastructure and pay for it. They are refusing to pay for it, and the electric companies are passing the costs onto the residents near these data centers, which is grossly unfair.

Not to mention the water depletion and electricity costs that the people who live near AI data centers have to deal with, because tech companies can’t be expected to be responsible for their own usage.

I’m also a Fedora KDE user and I agree with you. The only real gripe I have with it is that if you don’t know about the full version of RPM Fusion, you’ll get frustrated that certain things are missing or don’t work right, and the GUI button to enable third-party repos after installation isn’t enough. I personally just skip that button and enable the full version following the directions on their site and then use Discover to enable Flathub.

A version of Ubuntu that’s nearly 4 years old?

Whether or not any of it was a bug, the fact that it has this bad of a record when it’s been around for less than 10 years means that they should not be trusted to provide the most important application on your computer. And if they are bugs, then that’s even MORE of a reason you should stay far away, since they’re obviously too clueless to be trusted with such a responsibility.

There are more problems with Brave than just the CEO. The Brave browser itself has quite a history of deceptive and ethically questionable practices, such as replacing ads with its own, conning people into donating to crypto wallets by making them think they’re donating to creators, and sneaking in affiliate codes. A browser with that kind of record should never be trusted, especially by people who care about privacy.

And IMO, that needs to change. Mint has released ISOs with updated kernels which does help. But expecting everybody to eventually graduate to a rolling release distro by the time they want to buy a new PC is just going to send people back to Windows.
