  1. Yep, for sure. They are really fucking up the bug hunters.

  2. Interesting, I'll look that up.

  3. I second that question!

  4. There's some on the sewer that is Discord, but otherwise Mint has been pretty great! I have had some issues I have had to get help with from their forums and IRC, everything stuck to the task at hand. Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.

  5. The answer is: because YouTube's algorithm is all about trying to get people to watch content and try new channels, pretty-much Period-Dot. It pattern-matches content, not the politics of creators. The closest you get to exceptions are channels that cannot be monetized, like Ak Nation News, that get buried because YouTube doesn't make as much off of them. BUT, if you subscribe to Ak or Donut Operator, you definitely get their videos in your feed . . . you just don't get Channel Community notice posts until two days later! Play around with your Notification settings, and you'll get those more reliably, too.

  6. ​ @PetraleiTanyl  Dude, you obviously have no clue. All of the far-left channels that YouTube banned or struck are on Rumble now. There's a couple of sometimes/often-funny social anarchist comedians YouTube keeps striking that I found there.

  7. There's a reason to use a Search Aggregator!

  8. I don't do web dev, but I hear good things from people about Brave. If you go to the trouble of trying it out, please let me know how it goes so that I broaden my feedback sources.

  9. I have loved KOffice since 2002! It's come a looong way since then . . . . I still like AbiWord for writing.

  10. Minuette, baby!

  11. Last I heard, WordPerfect is still staying current, but I haven't bought it in ten years.

  12. Never heard of it, thanks for something else to look up . . . .

  13. All of Discord is a sewer, I highly recommend avoiding slogging through it!

  14. That's silly to say! Almost every channel that gets a strike from YouTube has paralleled to Rumble, just in case it gets taken down!

  15. Mint is my go-to for usability when introducing people to Linux for about a decade. But I also like Endless OS, specifically for educational purposes. Full versions in three languages only, 20+ GB download, install to a drive and that drive will boot and run on almost any hardware built since 2010; very good support response for any lack of functionality you find, becoming increasingly NON-woke at the management level, but sometimes doesn't support the very latest hardware (until people report issues). Full version includes an astonishing array of programs and a pretty comprehensive encyclopedia (15 GB is just encyclopedias grouped by subjects). Backup and cloning is its weakness; you can only back-up user files and documents, the core OS and files and all programs are encrypted to prevent alteration. All apps are Flat packs, which means updates are bulky. Did I mention that the drive will boot and run on almost ANY computer you move it to, with no recompile or alterations? FANTASTIC for troubleshooting!

  16. What about GreyJay, then, as a YouTube substitute?

  17. LOOOOONG story, goes back to Edward Snowden, so read what he posted about it and then learn the fallout from that.

  18. Never heard of it. But I have been using AbiWord for more than two decades.

  19. Those sound interesting. Mozilla used to have a lot of interesting and useful projects that it has since dropped. I like Midori, which is its own browser project, but it takes getting used-to!

  20. For why, if you stuck with it so long? Did your 286 die?

  21. Because it means he cares more than he would like to care?
