donnie’s reachin’ all the way down to the bottom of the barrel for every pick. he wants to watch the country burn before the next mid-terms.

if xfce is what you want, try a custom install (using dvd1) and just pick xfce instead of the gnome default during tasksel. you will get a few desktop applications like libreoffice and firefox esr, but those are easily removed if you don’t want or want to replace them. using dvd1 as my install source, wired and wireless drivers were set up during install, were available during install, and were ready to go on first boot to xfce (on an am3 pavilion desktop test system).

this time they have a plan, though, that many (if not most) of them are totally on-board with.

there’s no minimum intelligence to run for or hold elected public offices, either.

similar issues with other titles or just that one file?

that’s because they cite incorrect data.

“social security” is not health care fund; and 40% is employer and employee combined (employee only is ~ 13%) contribution. social security is pensions, survivor benefits, unemployment, sickness and maternity leave, etc.

employee share of contribution to public health insurance fund is (iirc) only 3.55%

“so, mom, you’d rather i die than receive affordable health care?”

programs with tickers often have something on a portion of it, especially sporting events. at least it’s only a program promo and not a flashy animated thing for a prescription drug or something.

and, overall it would cost about half what we’re paying now as a nation for health care.

i tried checking at walmart, but they haven’t carried it since the early 1970s

his ‘project liberty’ has its own protocol, dsnp (decentralized social networking protocol).

does anything even use it?

i’d imagine your phone carrier still knows where you are when you use wifi calling… especially if that wifi’s internet source is a wireline isp or a known wifi-based network or hotspot.

i don’t even do sms on my ‘dumb’ phone.

when the phone makes a noise, it’s either low on battery (or, if it was plugged-in, fully charged), an alarm or timer i set, or a very high probability of being a legit call (the carrier has reasonably-effective blockers for spam, bots and spoofed origin calls).

just a marketing stunt. but watch, when ‘goldfish’ come back into the stores afterwords… they’re in smaller packages.

kinda funny, though… the functionality has been there for awhile. just flying under the radar with a less-noticeable icon.

lol. nope. not happening. that’s not how to get me to even think about using your search again (having quit over a decade ago).

if google cared, they’d vet ads and ad links, and guarantee their safety and security.

if google cared, they’d put a stop to seo ‘optimizers’ and scammers scoring top positions on serps.

but google doesn’t care about anything other than their profits and share price.

adblockers can affect both of those. they’re using the weak cover of ‘security’ enhancement to neuter them.

existing adblockers provide more safety and security than what can be realized by the shift to mv3.

i mostly use a vivaldi or opera portable for those. unzip, run, use the temperamental site, close, delete directory. it’s not very often that i have to do this.

but for a couple of pesky sites i do frequent a bit more often, i keep their portable browsers to reuse and have them configured (including addons) specifically for them.
