Democratic regime manifest

Never thought I'd see someone unironically chant Democracy Manifest, but here we are

Do you have a source? I'd be interested in seeing how the numbers look at present. I otherwise looked into this briefly myself, and this article from ScienceFocus mentions a 2019 study by Oxford University that found more greenhouse gases are released growing lab meat than regular meat, although ScienceFocus argued that if mass produced on a similar scale to regular meat and if renewable energy was used instead, the emissions could be better than regular meat.

Another website indicates in future tense that lab-grown meat "could cut down on water usage by 90%"

I love that it's also got build instructions for Windows and macOS

That's what my thoughts were with this. The sheer amount of water alone to produce meat^1^ makes the bar very low for plant-based alternatives

I'll admit, I upvoted when it was announced he was a convicted felon

Decided to bring out my Windows laptop, down votes to the right.

Well this was a good way to have me actually watch the video instead of skip over the link

I found the same and I daily drove Windows 8.1 with OpenShell to the very end of support.

This isn't the first time Microsoft has done this, I remember this being a huge gripe for me with Windows 8/8.1

Software shutdown button presser chiming in.

There's two reasons I tend to use the software button. I know for a fact that clicking "Shut Down" will actually shut down the computer. If I press the hardware button, the computer usually is configured by default to sleep. Yes, I could change this default behaviour on all the devices I use, but then there's the second reason:

From a psychological perspective, I tend to associate the hardware button as a "only use if system is locked up" button.

From my experience, if you're on iOS then Brave is the only browser I know of that includes a built-in adblocker (although I have my own issues with Brave).

If you're on Android, should be able to just install Firefox (or a fork like Fennec), tap the three dots in the app > Extensions > uBlock Origin

If you're otherwise using the YouTube app, I don't have much to add in that respect as I usually use Invidious or NewPipe.

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn't adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo).

However, I'm not that familiar with Linux Mint (even though I've daily driven Linux for nearly 10 years, I very casually use LMDE) and I'm not sure if this is a Cinnamon problem or if the lock screen is under a different program.

Looking at Linux Mint's webpage on reporting a bug (https://projects.linuxmint.com/reporting-an-issue.html) they seem to mostly use Cinnamon as an example, but I don't want to report this issue as a Cinnamon issue if it's the wrong project.

In case this is platform specific, my device's details are below:

  • Host: Dell Latitude E6420
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM (Sandy Bridge)
  • GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family
  • Kernel: 6.1.0-21-amd64
  • DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4
  • WM: Mutter (Muffin)
  • Display Server: X11

I've never filed a bug report in my life before, usually I just put up with the issue until it's eventually fixed, but I feel this is a moderate security issue that should be flagged.
