Extra firmware cannot be modified.

Firm firmware might be able to be modified, but documentation is largely unknown.

Silken firmware is easily modified by the user.

These names are taken from tofu packaging.

I did not trust 538 before. I think a few major US election voter turnouts suffered because too many people thought the 538 results meant that their candidate was a sure thing.

One time I was listening to headphones walking home from the train in the rain after work in a major US city. I had an uneasy feeling and spun around ending up walking backwards. I'm face to face with a stranger who is uncomfortably close to me matching pace. I awkwardly said, "Hi." Then, we were both uncomfortable. Nothing happened. I took my headphones off and continued a few streets to my apartment. Maybe something would of happened had I not spun around.

I forget where I read this, but something like 15-30% of reddit users third-party apps. 19% dip sounds like some of that group continued using Reddit while a majority either stopped or found Lemmy/Kbin.

Antimine on F-Droid is good for a mobile fix.

The copy protection for Quarantine was particularly interesting because it was thematic. Given the weight of a pedestrian and the speed of your car, how far will the body fly?

These are probably more related than you think. I believe we were on track to work together in a global Open Science initiative until Bill Gates stepped up to bankroll most of the biggest initiatives under the agreement that the results were proprietary.

Apple historically was the first company to sue for software copyright infringement. As many other have posted in this thread, they haven't gotten better over time.

The ability to edit titles seems like an obvious feature that Reddit never added.

You cannot rename a file from webp to jpg, but you can change the URL to .jpg and it will likely serve you the jpeg version. You can also convert webp to another format with dwebp or MS Paint.

You were hacked by the manufacturer.

Like Pixelfed?

Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.

538 is just data-backed fortune-telling.

There are many ways to run code at startup. cronjobs and systemd are common ways to handle this. I have also had things start automatically with my desktop environment which comes later in the boot process.

I'd never heard of KISS Linux. Sounds like Gentoo, but a one developer project.

Manjaro had a rough history of not taking security seriously. I hope they have improved, but the impression stuck.

They have done a few things right by making Arch more approachable when Arch was more of a RTFM type distribution. Now Arch is easier and even ships with an installer, but Manjaro's installer is easy.

The end result is still that the user still needs to manage an Arch distro. I would recommend learning the Arch way from Arch instead of taking the easy road.

If you want an easy distro, rolling releases, and up-to-date packages, I would recommend Debian Did over Manjaro. If you want Arch, use Arch.

FSF India made a visual chart comparing messaging applications.

argos-translate for offline machine language translation.

tmux & neovim for editing files and organizing the terminal displays.

asciinema for recording and playing back terminal sessions.

This answer is getting down voted, but Debian is the answer because it is user friendly and supports 32bit. If you need to seriously bring new life to these machines upgrade the RAM and buy SSDs. Using a lightweight desktop environment like MATE is a good option.

Don't give users unfamiliar with Linux a window manager or Arch.

Sometimes I think I'm not even good enough to have impostor syndrome.
