This comment says it all:

I don't know what quite a lot of those words mean, and I don't wish to learn.

Why would we want people like that over here?

Probably the best article to date about what is truly going on -- very comprehensive and well documented.

In North America, Consumer Reports magazine.

They're independent and don't accept advertising, but are subscription-based. You can usually find them at your local library (i.e., hard copies or sometimes in their online database).

Everybody seemed to crash while searching for images on Google.

I'm experiencing this with Q4OS 3 (Centaurus), which under the hood is Debian 10 (Buster) -- and with the supposedly more stable Firefox ESR.

(Now using DuckDuckGo as an image search workaround.)

but 4 out of 5 times people can’t

...or don't want to

Edit: For what it's worth, posted this comment a few days ago.

Since the protests began, one of the subreddits I used to frequent now has an abnormally high number of comments; this might explain why.

Only got two points because you made their heads hurt. ;)

TDE aka Trinity Desktop Environment, a fork of KDE 3.

Original Primus drummer Jay Lane did a great job here! He didn't play on the album that included Tommy the Cat, but rejoined Primus for a few years after Tim Alexander left.

Kind of like an MG, but reliable.

Q4OS, a very user-friendly Debian-based OS.

Honestly, it's mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we're helpless to do anything about it.

Nothing new; George Carlin was railing against this back in 2005:

The Big Club

(NSFW - language)

I think it's because the people in charge of them are also narcissistic sociopaths

...which is probably an unspoken job requirement.

In reality, most of the songs that I like the best were sung by Ben Orr.

Moving in Stereo should've gotten way more airplay.

Rainbow -- before and after

Admins and mods will likely be more vigilant about deleted posts and comments at least until things settle, so it might be better to abandon now, then delete later.

but it is really best shown that the communities are rebuilding here

(As others have said, though...tread lightly.)

Some modern Australian music has made it to the world

I'm from the States and love this one:

The Church - Under The Milky Way

We get lots of practice with that during winter months here in Florida.

It should have always included information about accessibility being taken away.

Indeed; they forgot to keep it simple.

Most people have no idea what all the API-related jargon means.

Ford 302 V8, started as a 221 in 1962

The 351W is also legendary -- same Windsor block as the 302, but cast with a taller deck.

Dave King was also a great hard rock vocalist:

Katmandu - When the Rain Comes

it looks like the mods are just being dicks.

Business as usual, apparently. I once received an automod notice that I didn't have enough karma points to post a link. (At that point I had accumulated many karma points, but not in that sub.)

So I messaged the mods and asked what the minimum was, since it wasn't stated anywhere in the rules. The reply? "Sorry, we can't disclose that." Wait, what?

...and the J2000.

The AMC straight-six, which was used in AMC passenger cars and Jeeps from 1964-2006.

Chrysler bought out AMC in 1987, yet continued to produce this engine.

I think it's also a fear of the unknown, kind of like those who are hesitant to move from Windows to Linux. They would rather tolerate garbage because it's familiar garbage.

.

The first three albums sound nothing like what most people recognize as Journey.

.

For what it's worth, Cornel West just turned 70, has views similar to Bernie Sanders, and is running for the Green Party nomination.

However, the media tends to marginalize third-party candidates.

That's a 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille; the '65 has different taillights.

https://reddark.untone.uk currently shows 3430 out of 8829 subreddits as dark -- five days after the blackout's official end date.

"Failed" my ass; that's 39 percent -- still over one third.
