I haven't encountered this but if I do I'll be sure to call it out
"In order for non-violence to work, your opponent must have a conscience."
I had a similar idea for dealing with capitalists: make a video game for them that simulates stock trading and all the "work" they do to "run" their companies. Maybe hire a few actors to be their "assistants." They can also have a siloed version of twitter full of bootlicker bots that enthusiastically agree with all their dumb ideas.
This is one of those patsoc losers, isn't it? Why did he photoshop his face on a Yemeni military spokesperson?
Oh, that kind of shipping. Before I clicked I thought this was going to be an ad for FedEx or something
My eyes glazed over and I had a Lovecraftian vision of Hell before I was halfway done reading this. You've written high-tier cosmic horror. I might've soiled myself.
They might be using it as cover to gain intel, like how the CIA organized a fake vaccination drive to get Osama bin Laden's family DNA
I'm kidding, I don't think he actually did that. But it's funnier to believe he did.
She lived until 1937, and that's exactly what she told him:
He put a fake beard on top of his real beard
Most historians who study first-century Palestine agree that Jesus was a real person who existed. Whether everything written about him is true is another question.
Looking for an article, video, podcast, etc that debunks the western propaganda
I've tried clearing all browsing data and it keeps giving me an error. It works fine on Firefox and the mobile version of Chrome.
I got an old Windows 7 laptop that was going to be thrown out and decided to put Linux on it (see previous thread here). Most people suggested I go with the latest stable version of Debian, so that's what I installed. I've mostly used Windows, but I do have some experience with Ubuntu.
The installation went smoothly, but I've had a few problems getting it set up to my liking:
- I can't figure out how to setup flatpak. Everything seems to be working fine until I enter the last line in the terminal: > flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
I hit enter and nothing happens. No error message or anything. I restarted the computer but flatpak doesn't work, either through the software center or the flatpak website. I found a few forum posts with the same problem, but no solutions.

I somehow set it up so that my username is not the super user, so I have to type a password in the terminal every time I want to use sudo. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?
-
I somehow set up the hard drive partitions so that the OS is on an encrypted partition, so I have to put in a password for the BIOS to boot up. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?
-
I'm used to a desktop interface with a toolbar/start menu that I can pin frequently-used programs to, but with Debian it seems like I need to click "Activities" to do anything. Is there a way to set up the interface so it's more like Windows in that regard?
-
If I need to do a clean install, I'm thinking of switching to Ubuntu, since I'm more familiar with the interface. Is there any reason why I should stick with Debian? I've heard some people trashing Ubuntu but I'm not sure why. Is Debian better for older hardware?
Edit: Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies. I did a fresh install of Debian 12 (64 bit) with KDE and it seems to have resolved all my problems. Although it's a little slow and buggy, I've had to reboot it twice. I'll try a lightweight DE if that continues.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I've seen lots of suggested videos lately on how to build DIY rockets
I've used Ubuntu in the past so that's what I'm thinking of using, but if anyone has another suggestion I'm open to ideas. I'm looking for something user-friendly and lightweight when it comes to hardware requirements. The laptop will mostly be used for web browsing and streaming video, if I can get that to work.
