I'm too embarrassed to tell you. I'll give you a freebie, though: I bought Mega Man X7 for the PlayStation 2. Unironically. On purpose. Having enjoyed the previous Mega Man X games, I didn't think for a second it would be bad.
I don't know about reproducible builds, but Telegram has a slew of other problems. For example, they advertise that your messages are "heavily encrypted", but this feature is restricted to secret chats which is NOT the default method of communication and they use their own weird-ass algorhythm called ProtoMT instead of one of many existing algorhythms which have been audited and verified. Not to mention you need to give them your phone number to use the app.
I'm not sure which distro would work with your laptop. I would suggest experimenting with live USB images. Maybe using something like Ventoy which enables you to try out multiple live images from one USB stick. But as far as applications go:
GIMP is native to Linux and should work fine. You might also want to give Krita and Inkscape a whirl. Also, massive props for ditching Adobe. I hate that company as much as it hates their customers.
Blender works on linux.
So does Davinci. Allegedly. Haven't used it, but their website says Linux support is available.
I don't code so, um, no idea. Sorry. Hopefully someone else will weigh in.
Good news, Linux has working file explorers!
No ads, at least for the most part. Ubuntu had Amazon's search integrated into their search bar a while back, which caused quite a kerfuffle. Later, they added a toggle to turn this off, but this was years ago. Might want to check just in case.
Oh wow, Razer was selling masks? Seriously? That's wild, I must've missed that completely. What's even wilder is that a bunch of people apparently decided that their best option for respiratory filters is, of all things, a gaming company. And one with a shaky QC history at that.

And vice versa. Somebody's gonna get the Cart Narcs eventually. I understand what he's trying to do, but when you get down to brass tacks, the guy is harrassing people. And filming them without consent, too.
Agent Sebastian, as he calls himself, doesn't just point out the misplaced cart and slap a magnetic sticker on the offender's car, oh no. In multiple instances he actively escalated the situation for no good reasons, except for the lulz, I guess, and in some videos, he even kept following the offenders. When he was visiting Australia, he even followed them to their fucking home!
Now, Sebastian was quoted as saying that the group's mission is to insure public decency, but "decent" is not the word I would use to describe his behaviour.
That... doesn't look easy. Or at least, I imagine this video would look intimidating to non-tech savvy users. I consider myself at least a little tech savvy and I'm like 80% sure I would forget to insert that transparent sheet thingy under the battery. I'm guessing it's insulation?
Anyway, what used to be the norm was pulling off the back cover and then remove the battery with your fingernail. No tools required. Now a vast majority of phones are glued together, all under the pretext of making the phone more thin.
What irks me is that companies still make removable batteries, but they are getting harder and harder to find. In fact, Samsung itself has XCover line of phones that have easily accessible batteries. How easy? This easy:
We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. People didn't jump ship when Windows 8 became the norm (which didn't last long, thankfully), so I'm not expecting the needle to move much over a feature most users will never even know exists. A man can dream, though.
Hello. I'm looking for a more private (for obicous reasons) and fast discord client for android, since the app is terrible and preforms terribly on my relatively old phone. I can't change to something like matrix/signal, since I can't convert other people.
For similar reasons to your own, I tried a few different Discord frontends a while back so I could chat with one of my friends who lives abroad. I never found a winner. They either wouldn't connect or would be missing tons of features (for example: one of them only let you watch the chat, not participate in it). I also seem to remember reading somewhere that Discord is pretty aggressive when it comes to third party apps. It's their app or nothing. You might have better luck than I did, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
And as others have mentioned, if you're looking for privacy, Discord ain't it. Sorry I couldn't give you a more helpful response.
I thought it was a Pandora games console at first, but that has way more IOs at the back and no touchpad, whereas the thingy in the picture seems to have one below the keyboard. I'm super curious what it might be. If I find out what it is, I'll edit this post.
Has anyone seen Behind the Curve? Most of these flat earth people seem to possess some level of critical thinking, just... not enough. That, or their pride or obstinacy get in the way. At the end of the documentary, a team of flat-earthers perform an actual, well thought out experiment. It's... well, just watch.
Best part? Immediately after this, they discard the results of the experiment saying the premise was faulty. Somehow.
On the contrary! I absolutely loathe how bloated webpages have become over the last few decades, so it's very refreshing and laudable to see a webpage that tries to keep itself as small as possible.
Kinky. But no, not necessarily. You could say that one of them is the actual person and the other "person" is just the first person's shadow. It's a stretch, but it's the best I've got.
So I've realized that in conversations I'll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I've been thinking that it's not as inclusive to women/trans people....
Extras/other people in the background are acceptable to meet the criteria but ideally with no human/entity on the screen at all that isn't played by the same actor....
I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat....
If you care about the planet, please make sure you sit down before you start reading this post about ExxonMobil.
So.
The CEO of ExxonMobil just said this in an interview: "We’ve waited too long to open the aperture on the solution sets in terms of what we need, as a society, to start reducing emissions."
Who's the most influential voice on climate change? Who's to blame for inaction on climate change?
According to the CEO of ExxonMobil, it's environmental activists.
No, really:
"Frankly, society, and the activist—the dominant voice in this discussion—has tried to exclude the industry that has the most capacity and the highest potential for helping with some of the technologies."
Oh, and the CEO of ExxonMobil also apparently thinks consumers are to blame for climate inaction:
"Today we have opportunities to make fuels with lower carbon, but people aren’t willing to spend the money to do that."
Gets better.
He thinks unnamed 'people who generate emissions' should pay for it. (Rather than, say, major transnational oil companies.)
"People who are generating the emissions need to be aware of [it] and pay the price. That’s ultimately how you solve the problem."
So, remind me again. Who knew about climate change before most of the public?
"Exxon was aware of climate change, as early as 1977, 11 years before it became a public issue... This knowledge did not prevent the company (now ExxonMobil and the world’s largest oil and gas company) from spending decades refusing to publicly acknowledge climate change and even promoting climate misinformation."
And just who, exactly, stood in the way reducing emissions all these years?
"ExxonMobil executives privately sought to undermine climate science even after the oil and gas giant publicly acknowledged the link between fossil fuel emissions and climate change, according to previously unreported documents...
"The new revelations are based on previously unreported documents subpoenaed by New York’s attorney general as part of an investigation into the company announced in 2015. They add to a slew of documents that record a decades-long misinformation campaign waged by Exxon, which are cited in a growing number of state and municipal lawsuits against big oil."
If you found information that is false, you could have pointed it out and corrected it. Instead you just accused them of spreading disinformation - wherever in the post that might be - without elaborating further and called them vile. Which, I might add, is against the rules.
Someone would indeed have a bright future in the Republican Party, but it's not OP.
EDIT: I withdraw the above statement. I was under the impression that the commenter was accusing OP of disinformation.
And I agree! It's just that the original comment sounded like they were accusing OP of spreading misinformation, not Exxon's CEO. I will retract my earlier statement. Also, apologies to @pedrobizbikedu.
There are a number of thing stopping me from yogacoding, most have already been mentioned. Also, I'm pretty sure the lady in the picture is doing jack shit on her laptop, unless she has a screen mounted on her crotch.
Eeeeh, kinda? Gargoyles weren't specifically VR users, though they were using VR. They also had computer parts strewn all over their body and if I recall correctly, they had cameras for surveillance, too.
