I didn’t expect my comment to cover all of us, presumably everybody makes their own assessment of their security concerns.

I’ve always considered myself a small enough target that it’s unlikely very many people give a shit.

I’m the family computer guy but dad’s probably better at Windows than me.

Is there anything one could even install anymore based off of IE’s engine? That’d be a fun one to put on the old beater machine.

Usually a Firefox guy but gonna give GNOME web an install for shiggles since I remember safari being fun to play with back in my teenage “hacker” days.

As a left wing gun enthusiast I’m aware of this because it is how you get a 26" barrel on an AR, no matter which state you’re in, and trust me, I’m from about as right wing as it gets.

I mean, you can get an AR with a crowned barrel.

And that is, as far as one can tell from an image, an actual gun as I doubt an airsoft manufacturer would bother with the gas block or dust cover.

I just found a ad-blocker build for the esp-32 so I’m gonna grab a 3-pack of the s3 model and some other electronics and play some games.

I suppose raspberry pi os counts under Debian?

Yeah I try my best but have yet to convert anyone. Was already weird as a redditor previously.

Calling everything even mildly controversial ‘-gate’ was super played out decades ago IMHO.

For what it’s worth last time I broke an update fixing it ended up fixing a bunch of other issues I was having.

I mean, my distro’s technically an Ubuntu variant, but I honestly don’t think that’s ever come up in any meaningful way.

I’ve got some nostalgia for the movie since it’s where my name came from but yeah, it’s definitely shows the ahhh… sensitivity of the time.

Welcome to the club! Mint is an excellent choice, especially from a beginner’s perspective. Don’t let that stop you from trying other things though if you get the temptation. Fedora and Arch are the two other ‘families’ I can think of to play with, though I’ve stuck with things in the Debian side of things myself.

I first got this error trying to play under the hood of a MacBook in high school and got scared it was reporting to the school. It of course didn’t.

First was Puppy on an old Dell back in middle school. Just wanted something other than the shit ass windows box my mom insisted on and the macs my school insisted on.

I feel like that’s probably highly dependent on your client or the web interface you or your instance are using.

I put Mint on a PC for my dad because it’s first thing easy for him to use and second a 32-bit machine and Mint the best choice I found that runs on that.
