Stands for "fear, uncertainty and doubt". It's actually a very relevant term. In a lot of contexts. It's when people influence you to either fear, have uncertainty about, or doubt something. Sometimes this happens without any intent, for example if you're unsure about some new situation or thing, you tend to first view it more negatively because you have some fear or doubts about it (which might not be warranted). But sometimes, it can have malicious intent (e.g. right-wing extremists spreading FUD about human subgroups they don't like. Usually the first step before more aggressive behavior happens).
It's great that Gnome has its own UI paradigm, it's boring when every desktop looks and behaves the same by default. That's neither innovative nor much choice. I think the Gnome UI paradigm is great (and I've used it for quite a bit, so I know it's good when you're adjusted to it), there are however some bad aspects of Gnome which mostly have to do with the project behind it and how they tend to be less interoperable than the other desktops/compositors and focus on their own things a little bit too much which might have some negative consequences for users who don't just use Gnome-based applications. I don't remember specifics but there was some justified drama about the way Gnome handles window decorations for example.
These are things that the Gnome project should be working on. They shouldn't be working on making the default look and behave more like the Windows desktop. That's unnecessary. If you want a Windows-like desktop simply use one of the many other ones which look more like it by default.
It's mildly interesting that this claim originated during a time (~ late 70s and 80s) when such claims also originated about rock and metal music. Both D&D and those were somewhat new (or at least newly popular) during that time.
In a way it was the analog equivalent of modern FUD and misinformation spreading on social media. Maybe even disinformation, but probably just misinformation and FUD.
On many websites, the cookies are created no matter what you choose. It's a dark pattern to get you to accept all, yes, but In the end it's often meaningless.
Use a decent browser like librewolf which isolates cookies so only the site that created them can access them and clears all cookies on exit - this protects you from bad effects of cookies so you can just accept all. However, you're still susceptible to other methods of tracking (like IP address or browser fingerprint based tracking) unless you use Tor Browser or something similar.
This. Use as much ethical open source software as possible for you, while supporting and advocating for important projects in that space. And don't let yourself get sucked into some closed platform or ecosystem you don't like. For communication and social media, use only open and decentralized servers/protocols. Use as much end to end and strong encryption as possible. Minimize your data footprint. Buy from local and ethical shops. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Incredible community project. Massive scale.
Looking forward to this much more than to TES 6. Also doubt that Bethesda is even capable of creating a top-tier game these days.
What I don't really understand as a non-US citizen is why no one from the current US regime (except Trump (who has legal immunity, which is already laughable and highly problematic)) got into any sort of legal trouble over any of the unlawful and unconstitutional acts that were done for many months or years now.
Even when considering that Trump himself is immune, why does it seem like all the others are immune, too? Is nothing working over there? Is the US justice system already completely and utterly broken?
If you steal candy from a random shop you probably get 100% prosecuted (and quickly), but if you act against fundamentally important laws or even the constitution, you just get away with it?
Not just themed Chrome but with Microsoft's anti-features (data gathering) and unwanted integrations added on top. Or instead of Google's. Not sure. Anyway, if you don't want to freely give away even more of your browsing data to either Microsoft or Google you shouldn't use any of those.
If you want a Chromium-based browser for the desktop, try Brave but be wary that you need to change lots of settings to make it behave well (but it's still the least bad Chromium-based browser, when not counting Vanadium for GrapheneOS/Android).
If not, try Librewolf, which already behaves well out of the box and reigns among the top Firefox-based desktop browsers.
After you've already established security, you can add obscurity (without compromising security) on top for an even bigger gain in security overall. But you can't do obscurity in place of security.
I read somewhere (and it seems very plausible, though I'm not sure whether it's scientifically accurate) that the subjective feeling that time runs so fast is something you automatically get with increasing age, and it has to do with what's still exciting or new for you in life and what is not. With increasing age and life experience, you get the feeling that anything is still exciting or new less often over time. You've kind of seen it all, that's why days seem much more similar to each other than when you were still a kid (when almost every experience you've made was still a fresh one), that's why each day is less memorable, that's why it seems like time is flying by like crazy.
This is not just a dark chapter. If they also get this power, they can eliminate or disappear anyone at will. It's one of the last major things they need to gain full dictatorial powers.
I'd guess that filling the gap with pretty much anything is better then leaving an actual gap. Maybe add a proof from police that you weren't in jail or something.
In this particular case, I don't get what's in it for them. Of course they generally want more power and wealth, while ignoring everything else. But is this also really about that? If so, how? Also they are alienating even a big portion of their stupid base with stunts like this. It doesn't seem useful, any way I look at it. It doesn't seem lawful evil or neutral evil like they usually are. It seems chaotic evil.
