Apps and websites will probably start looking for the age verification signal coming from the OS. I'm afraid this is going to make Linux compatibility even more challenging for things that aren't developed with it in mind.

Buggy doesn't even describe it well enough! Every single Ubuntu install I've made over the last 10 years has one of those "Something unexpected happened!" crash dialogs pop up after about 5 minutes of being idle on the desktop. Even on completely fresh installs, on a variety of different kinds of hardware and VMs. I truly do not understand how that's acceptable.

It's a way for your local business to do business with significantly lower fees*

Tried scanning the QR on a square terminal at the local coffee shop today - - nothing. It was just a cashapp QR

The reason we have such terrible infrastructure is because the feds give away free money to expand highways, but then states are on the hook for maintenance. It creates this endless loop where we create ever-expanding liabilities for states to deal with instead of doing something sane like.. Denser communities, or trains.

I follow a few subreddits in order to keep up to things, but without the crappy algo stuff built into the app or the site. I also follow a Linux gaming news site, and a few webcomics like xkcd and The Oatmeal. If you're into gaming at all, each game on steam has its own rss feed for announcements. If there are any github projects you care about, those also have feeds.

Fair enough, I'll admit I've never used Debian directly and have always used Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros. Tbf though, it's usually been apt that's blown up my system.

As somebody that lives in a dense city, it feels nice being able to just walk or bike where I want without anybody's permission or tracking capabilities. It's a very free feeling.

Does your state not have license plates on the front? Maybe you could install an incredibly bright infrared light on your plates instead

You should watch it. The other two hosts made very sane choices. Linus himself was just running an experiment of what an un-savvy user might do (ask AI to recommend a distro)
