In 2019, the advertising/data science company System1 became the majority owner of Startpage. Based on this, I’d say it’s worth finding an alternative to Startpage.

Anyone of the many SearXNG instances is your best choice for balancing privacy and quality results. It’s open source, sources multiple search engines which you can control, is anonymous, and provides solid results. Here’s a list of active SearXNG instances: https://searx.space/

I’m pretty sure just using the “sudo dnf update --refresh” command in terminal will fix this problem. It will ask you verify those packages new repositories. After that, you should be good using the store again for updates. This is assuming you upgraded from Fedora 40 before these errors occurred.

I love the KDE plasma theme Underworld. It’s definitely black and pairs well with a ton of stuff. I like Breeze Dark as the global theme, Ball10050’s Black color, and Underworld for the plasma style. This makes it all primarily black.

I trust the DivestOS team while I have no clue who runs Cromite. Plus, Bromite being abandoned made me look into other options, which makes me trust Divest to keep Mulch running longer than the Cromite team I guess.

Mulch is a mobile chromium browser made by DivestOS (same folks who make Mull). Maybe worth checking out over Cromite.

Be sure to include Nobara and Bazzite, both of which are gaming focused distros. Both are Fedora based, but Bazzite is known more as a SteamOS 3 clone. There’s also another gaming focused distro, it just escapes my mind. But I love Fedora KDE as is and then just installing the required software. So I’d say add Fedora, Nobara, and Bazzite for sure!

I’d say I’m one (1) eldritch scientist + Sat[censored]art

KDE is the way! I’ve heard KDE called the swiss army knife of DE’s, and I couldn’t agree more! I’d be curious to see a comparison of Gnome and KDE users previous OS. I’d bet KDE has more windows converts and gnome favors mac, but I really don’t hear about many mac folks switching to linux.

Guess it all comes down to your definition of makeover. In looking up the definition, it’s defined as “a radical change in appearance, it may imply a change in clothing, haircut, or cosmetics”. This being the case, I’d say the title’s spot on. But it all comes down to how you define makeover regarding if the titles misleading. It’s a bit ambiguous, so I see what you’re saying.

I feel it, but at the same time, where does the title imply the statues were damaged? It’s all about grabbing attention in order to bring focus to the disastrous situation we’re in with our environment.

He got pushback from YouTube about covering studies which demonstrated the COVID vaccine, especially the first couple versions, had substantially more negative side effects than what was disclosed. He also go in trouble for quoting recommendations from studies as well. If he went rogue, it was all based in science. He was initially all in on the vax, then as more and more research came out, he was blown away no mainstream outlets were covering the new information.

Well, vaccines are very different than antibiotics. While there was the first new antibiotic made in ages earlier this year that’s highly selective for specific bacteria, it only works against gram-negative bacterial cells. C. diff is gram-positive and has been an issue for a long time. It’s notorious for it’s recurrence rate as it’s great at surviving conditions which kill most bacteria. It infects 500,000 people each year, with 20%+ of them being a reoccurring infection. Since new antibiotics are very tough to engineer, a vaccine makes way more sense and it will provide treatment for half a million people annually moving forward!

Yep! The mRNA vaccine project started in the 1980’s and to provide an elaborate use case, they designed it to be a “blank check”. Meaning whatever disease, toxin, allergy, autoimmune disorder, or cancer researchers want to vaccinate against is likely possible.

With diffusion being a foundational aspect of solutes mixing in solutions, the water should have an even distribution of the contaminants. However, the tidal force of water associated with a storm surge probably throws a wrench in the plan here. But generally, it’s evenly spread throughout and will be found in relatively even amounts everywhere the water settles.

Ya, the house is in the persons name. But if they struggle to keep up with payments, it can become the banks home.

Same with homes, renting can provide lower monthly payments vs a mortgage. But with a mortgage you own the home and eventually you’ll have no monthly payment, whereas renting means you’ll always pay and the landlord has the final say in matters.

I mean, the research paper from the study doesn’t reference dopamine at all. It focuses on electric pulses associated with visual interpretations of the environment. It does reference a reward system stating “arguably the main purpose of extracting the underlying structure of temporal sequences is to predict what is likely to happen next in order to choose appropriate actions and maximize reward.” But it appears as if this is variable for each situation for each participant. Nonetheless, I like where your head’s at, I just don’t see it being associated with the analysis.

Well, the focus of the Israeli attacks were initially in the greater Gaza Strip area, which is in Southern Gaza. So this wouldn’t make much sense to have been posted 6 months back. But being posted now demonstrates the expansion of the Israeli attacks. Nonetheless, I get where you were coming from with it.

That’s odd, it seems fine on my end. But here’s another instance link: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU
