Great analogy.
I think it’s fair to tweak it and leave that second library with full accountability for the lack of desirability.
Domain names don’t start out undesirable, they build their reputation from the content and users.
So it’s like building a second library in a perfectly nice spot, and having that library attract people who dump pollution into the surrounding area, making it undesirable.
There’s a bag of parts I don’t know what to do with.
Any leftover unused parts are worth extra points.
At least, that’s what I tell my spouse.
Maybe I got it done with fewer parts because I found a novel improved solution…
Sometimes my spouse figures out what the extra parts are for… And doesn’t seem to mind that using the parts correctly lowers the score I dreamed up…
Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.
It’s essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with “no benefit”. An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.
I used to always use Minecrat for this. Sure, they can’t do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.
I say “used to” because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.
(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that’s all one needs to know.)
Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.
Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it’s free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It’s a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).
I remember those days, as well!
A manufacturer phone pre-installed with LineageOS would be awesome.
I’m partial to RetroPi or Batocera, so I end up with a retro game console and media player in one. This build works with anything compatible with Kodi. Excellent for home media, but paid and free streaming services are hit and miss.
There’s also builds of Android Open Source Protect for Raspberry Pi, which have much better support for streaming apps, since anything that works on an Android Phone works, as long as the streaming service developer hasn’t done anything stupid.
Edit: A warning though - Android on Raspberry Pi is still very new. Think Alpha/Beta test. I think that Android on ARM chips, in general, is new. It’ll get good, but your mileage may vary, for now.
There’s various builds for Raspberry Pi that make decent media centers.
Movie theaters are really expensive, so I’m not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.
- Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
Yes.
- Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?
I’m in the same boat. I’ll be trying out these answers.
Patrick Stewart’s Captain Picard trying to teach Brent Spiner’s Data how to play poker at the beginning of Picard.
Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.
As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.
