I'm in the opposite situation. I started on KDE but moved to GNOME. I sometimes think about moving back to KDE but I do love the design consistency of GNOME. KDE's endless theming is great, but I only ever used the default them because I'd notice little inconsistencies otherwise. I'll probably be on KDE Plasma 6 though, because I tend to jump ship to the shiny new thing that will solve all my problems.

For example, people of color tend to post fewer pictures of themselves on the internet, mostly because remaining anonymous is preferable to experiencing racism.

That is quite the bold statement. Source?

They have it, it's a setting

Test it here. Passphrases of 3 words take centuries to crack, without any numbers or capital letters. Passwords with numbers, capital letters, and symbols need ~14 characters to be that secure. If you need to memorize it, a passphrase is far superior. Add in a number, or random capitalization, or a misspelling and your security goes even higher.

I haven't used Waterfox but didnt realize they're independent again. Maybe I'll give it a try, but I'm liking LibreWolf.

Waterfox was sold to an advertising company in 2019. However, the founder took back over in 2023.

What website? Sounds like a site issue.

Package count is interesting to look at, but it doesn't really give a good picture of software availability. Distributions will split or combine packages differently. For example, the AUR has both binaries and source versions available for many packages.

Samsung Galaxy Watch6 9mm

Apple Watch Series 9 10.7mm

Google Pixel Watch 2 12.3mm

Rolex Submariner (non-smart) 13mm

It's a cool idea and there are similar devices, but they never seem to catch on because most people would rather carry a laptop that's still useful if something happens to their phone

Introducing yourself as a Mr means informing students you identify as a man.

No it doesn't. What if I'm a woman who prefers Mr as my title.

Also the words man and woman are banned according to law.

No they aren't. These words tell you the gender identity of someone, but they don't explain what gender identity is.

Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

Using words like "Mr," "Mrs," "man," "she," etc. does not constitute "classroom instruction ... on ... gender identity."

If a teacher puts their lunchbag under their desk, they aren't necessarily giving instruction on object permanence. Just because a psychological concept is associated with an act or phrase does not mean that the mere presence of this act or phrase in a classroom constitutes "instruction" on that act or phrase.

Aren't these screens from the article specifically for unsupported devices, like those without TPM?

Thank you for the excellent explanation, that makes sense.

With access to the AUR on Arch-based distros, I don't have the need for it. Normally, I choose:

  1. Distribution package
  2. Flatpak
  3. AUR
  4. AppImage

I haven't yet come across something which is available in homebrew but not in one of these options. I'd use it if I had a need. Currently, I haven't needed to use any AppImages but have in the past when Flatpak has been slower to update for Ultimaker Cura.

URLcheck has been amazing for me, great for tracking links in apps like Slickdeals (non-FOSS) to skip the tracker especially if you block it on a DNS level

This isn't necessarily true. LEDs are capable of running for years, but not all LEDs are designed this way or are operated this way. An LED in a given application can die quicker if:

  • the LED manufacturer cheaps out
  • the phone manufacturer runs the LED at higher current for more brightness
  • the phone is poorly designed, allowing the LED to heat up
  • the phone is exposed to significant heat and/or the LED is covered while used for a long enough duration

It's working fine for me. I like the improved icons and slightly adjusted layout, and the auto-hide panel feature is great.

Issues with my setup: window title applet isn't yet updated to support KDE 6. I know there's a version on the AUR that should work, but I'm waiting to see if it hits the Arch extras repo soon. My Papirus icons don't seem to be applying, so all my folders are Green but Dolphin's icon itself is blue. I also did get a weird temporary black box when moving a window out of the way from an auto hide panel, and the auto hide causes a stutter when it comes back into view.

Because they've given you everything you've ever wanted, been nothing but genuinely kind to you, and done nothing you've ever disagreed with.

These other answers are dumb, but for it to be the dumbest it has to be dumber than "they did something I don't think is wrong" and instead is "they did something that everyone agrees is right."

Calamity is great, but if you've never played any other games, I'd try others before running straight from Terraria to Calamity. If just for a broader experience

I had to install MS Authenticator to get into my account, then I added a phone number. I then deleted Authenticator from my phone and from my 2FA settings.

Car design change? I'd assume that more aerodynamic cars airflow that sweeps more bugs away rather than smacking them into the glass. I can assure you that they still hit motorcycle visors.

For fairness, here is Tuta's response to the allegations: https://tuta.com/blog/tutanota-not-a-honeypot

There really is no way to verify that any email service isn't a honeypot. Even if you open source your server code, that doesn't mean it's what's actually running on the server. They could publish served code then be running totally different code on their servers with no way to tell.

Tuta's biggest weaknesses for me right now are the seeming lack of independent audits and the lack of interoperability for encryption. Proton is the biggest competitor and seems to have both. However, Proton has grown more in the way that a honeypot would, adding VPN, cloud storage, password manager, etc, so more data collection points. Tuta is still email, contacts, and calendar.

Nope, because now you've started to provide more information than is necessary to identify yourself.

My interpretations of the Florida law for your examples, but of course I'm not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice, and my interpretation of the law is different than what I believe is ethical:

I introduced myself as Mx Endocrinous,

This is fine. You're just giving students knowledge to identify yourself.

wore nonbinary and trans and gay flag pins,

I think this is probably on the borderline, but I don't believe the law would allow this. You're conveying information beyond what the students need to know to identify you.

On the other hand, I think the law also prevents someone from wearing anti-trans and anti-gay flag pins (if those exist? I'm not up-to-date on hate symbols).

had an it/its pronoun pin,

Legal IMO. At it's core, it's just two English words on a pin which have meaning far outside the sphere of gender identity. If you're using it to indicate how students should refer to you, it's also legal IMO.

and referred to myself as dronegender,

Not legal IMO. It's outside of the basic information necessary to have a conversation with or about you.

I don't personally this is a particularly good law, but I also don't believe it is as restrictive as you've described it. And I'm not a lawyer. The law is written about "classroom instruction," so as long as what you're doing doesn't constitute that, you're fine. The difficulty, as you've pointed out, is defining what that means.
