A few months ago I blindly copied the hosts file from https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist as I was used to on BSD and Linux systems. It bricked Windows. Turns out that I had to use the installer script for Windows. Realised too late. That was my final goodbye to the Redmond giant.

For running a walled garden with iron grip, Apple allows copying the hosts file. Which I use for things like certification exams and any governmental agency stuffs.

Bash as it is what I’m most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.

Three diets come to the mind. Mediterranean, Atlantic, Mormon diet as it is designed and followed in America. Followers of these diets tend to live healthy and long. What the three diets have in common is, each of them is local and seasonal to a large extent.

Local and seasonal. Eases the transportation load and refrigeration load. Both contribute to what you refer to as good for the planet .

Perhaps letting every region design and foster its own local and seasonal diet is a good idea.

That brings us to the food industry. How may we escape the sales and marketing armies of the food industry? A great challenge indeed.

Indeed, haste makes waste

https://www.revi.cc/ – found this on another post here. Not sure how to link the post itself, so linking what the post wanted to share. This aims to debloat Windows, and is free and open source.

https://www.byobu.org/ can eschew both screen and tmux Mosh (the mobile SSH client, not linking here) if installing it on the remote server is an option

Every modification and deletion is prevented regardless of the method, be it mv, rm or other commands on the terminal or through a GUI, with or without sudo until sudo chattr -R -i /path/to/directory is performed

I think looking into man chattr is a good option for this

If the MacBook is an Apple Silicon Mn processor one, Asahi is the obvious choice

For other cases

My first suggestion would be to try the distribution you used in WSL

Second would be Linux Mint, can’t go wrong with either of Ubuntu edition or the Debian edition

Third would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Though a rolling distribution, with easy rollback commands, any unusable state can easily be left behind

OpenSUSE newcomer here, from decades of Debian and Debian derived systems.

I vote Debian with Xfce4 for the base system with Nix or Guix to let the kids freely install and play with software as required without requiring root. Stable release should be good. Testing release if time and resources to keep up with the updates are at hand.

Along with teaching the kids computers and software, please also consider teaching them how the Debian packagers, maintainers, developers, testers, admins, etc work and might never meet others in the project whilst releasing a great system every couple of years.

+1

And

In the off chance the files are not under git or some other VCS, might be a good idea to add the -b option to backup

True, that’d be the best hope for an in class course.

Probably explains why they went online mode instead of in class mode for the two courses. Casting their net wider. If I’m not too wrong, brochures and flyers and posters for these courses have already arrived in every one of those 48 countries and would pounce on every potential student.

I do wish how QEMU (and VLC media player?) came out of France or Mastodon came out of Germany, Arduino came out of Italy, something of note comes from down under too. Something other than Atlassian. Sadly Aussie grads seem to find overseas employment more attractive, and most of those who stay don’t essentially work in their fields of study.

One scenario where these sustainable degrees may make any sense is, you are a business who engages consulting firms, and you get a recommendation from them saying that you could use some C suits or one of the direct reports to your C suits carrying an ESG cred so that you can tick off a few boxes. So corporate staff are most likely to be the target for this degree.

Probably the hug of death is more due to most other clothing businesses not doing the lifetime guarantee than customers abusing. I see no motivation for buying at one place and taking it to another if both offer the same guarantees.

I had removed all chromium browsers and disabled chrome. The link opens in chrome which has no extensions. User hostile or in this case citizen hostile sites are the normal government attitudes it seems.

Questions on the survey inspire no hope either.

Has extreme hostility towards adblocker and similar tools become the new government normal when I was sleeping? On mobile FF with those extensions, tapping on any link simply reloads the page.

If there is a hall of shame for such things

The true magic is as always, hiding in plain sight. Those in power going after the most vulnerable is a textbook definition of corruption. Yet it is called anything but corruption. Tangentially , a government letting the mafia go after the vulnerable is just as corrupt too. Looking at you gam(bl)ing, alcohol, fast food, snacks, soft drinks advertisements.

Ah, perfection

Not when you cannot add any more; but when you cannot remove any more

Feature, not a bug

A quick Google shows that signing up for Threads requires you to walk the gauntlet of t&C agreements; and deactivating or deleting Threads would lead to your IG account being nuked; and that there’s a following and world feeds both heavily informed by the Meta / IG algorithms.

A challenge to the EEE could be mounted by encouraging other social media giants to form an oligopoly on fediverse. Sadly this would slowly make self hosting a larger pain than it is for most
