I’ll check it out. I’ve been using Breezy Weather and have been happy with it as well.

I’m for the preemptive de-federation.

I’m sure they’d vote against a bill for colorblind people too.

Not my kid. She only had it on for a specific reason and she only accepts she had to put up with it for now.

She’s more than happy to bring it up as an issue from time to time.

Ok. I’ve put in a SSD, I’m looking to add RAM (I may be already maxed out), and run zswap, etc. I guess I’ll be sticking with LibreOffice.

I use the laptop for ham radio stuff, mostly, and things like an office suite are secondary.

How is it on resources? I have a i386 project computer running Debian 12 and I’m looking to make it as “modern” as possible. Right now, my fight is with slow browsers and LibreOffice (I’m trying to avoid the Abiword, etc route).

These videos exist for monetization purposes.

Does anyone know if one where to view videos through Piped, NewPipe, FreeTube, etc the view would count towards engagement?

Basically, it’s the same upgrade procedure as Debian’s with the added step of editing rasp.list.

I would recommend someone get in touch with the NLRB - it can be done anonymously, if needed.

Just about every single union out there has an advisory board that includes employers.

Absolutely not true. I believe you are confusing a Labor Management Committee - which is a common space for the Union and bosses to meet and discuss issues.

Bosses are not in legitimate Unions.

Source: I serve in an elected position in a sizable Union where I also serve on a Labor Management Committee.

Secondly, Unions are for the Workers - not the bosses. To hell with “costs.” Enough sympathy for these people. If they can’t afford to pay their workers a good wage and provide them a quality work/life balance, they don’t deserve to be in business.

I know where you’re coming from. I have direct access to my music at home and use Strawberry to play them.

Plex (as far as I know) is only “free as in beer,” so i doubt you’re going to have any success finding a 3rd party music player. I have the Linux app for when I’m away and don’t want to use my phone but the tiny, Android-sized Plexamp app on my desktop is out of place, and has its own eq, compression, etc.

This may be the most awesome post I’ve seen in a decade!

I was a Xubuntu user for about 15 years but have an old EeePC running Debian.

I just recently moved my main, home computer (10+ yo EliteBook) to Debian 12 and am very happy. I will be soon moving my amateur radio “shack” computer (bought last year) to Debian as well.

Forcing Snaps and Snaps’ terrible usage of disk space (in my experience) is what made me move. The annoying Firefox update warning only served to aggravate me further.

I do use a couple Flatpaks (did with Ubuntu as well) but it was my choice - not a requirement. I haven’t had any disk use problems or bad experiences with them.
