Sadly this isn’t some new development after Oct 7, the Nakba was in 1948 and the details we now know of Israeli atrocities from that event are truly horrifying. The Israelis have been brutally terrorizing their neighbors for over 75 years, Bibi is just a natural extension of that campaign of terror. Israel is the most egregious terrorist organization in the world, bar none.

    I was waiting for this comment =] I’m a KDE user as well, Plasma is amazing but it can take quite a bit of configuration to get things looking and feeling perfect. This could easily turn off someone new to Linux.

    I think OP is going to have their hands full switching to a new OS as it is. Gnome looks and feels like OSX right away, and their design philosophy aims to minimize time spent tweaking in order to maximize productivity. Once OP is used to the typical Linux workflows and gets curious about how to improve things further, they will find out about what KDE has to offer.

    Whichever distro you end up choosing, consider one which makes use of the Gnome desktop environment - the current version of gnome is very similar to the Mac OS desktop layout so it could help your transition.

    This is true when they refuse to do jack shit and won’t hold anyone in contempt, which seems to be the norm for those in positions of power.

    Do you believe that’s how this Congress will act towards leftists who don’t cooperate with their dog and pony show?

    We also have no guarantee these books will be available at a later date in these digitized formats, nor that they won’t be altered to fit certain narratives which is of course trivial to do with digital copies. At a minimum these need public verifiable checksums to be relied upon.

    I don’t like this and don’t trust it one bit.

    These AI companies already showed their hand in trying to corner the PC component market with an end goal of users no longer being able to own their own PCs. Now they’re potentially trying to do this with all written recorded information.

    How long until Altman’s Firemen show up at your door to burn your books?
