I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.

Trump blatantly incites his followers into violence, and directs them toward specific targets. That is outside of the legal bounds of "freedom of speech".

Maybe it's because everyone is struggling with high costs of housing, food, and healthcare, among other things, while wages have remained flat and stagnant for decades.

What could possibly go wrong?

I keep trying other distros, and then coming back to Debian unstable XFCE. Linux Mint Debian Edition is ok. At work I did lots of Enterprise Redhat, but I'm glad I don't have to use it after I retired.

I am very skeptical of anything coming out of the information war related to this conflict.

I understand Jill Stein's connections to Russia are because of RT (Russia Today), who was publishing lots of US progressive content back in 2016, at a time when no US media would touch any of it. Yea, it sucks that we had to have Russia of all places publish progressive content, such as Pro Bernie Sanders, StandingRock protests, and Green Party positions to get any visability AT ALL. So Stein was at a table with other people who were getting their issues published by RT, and Putin joined in. Now I wouldn't get anywhere near any RT content.

Been there. Done that. Not again.

I believe that Firefox has a mechanism where millions of users all have the same fingerprint, which makes the whole concept of browser fingerprinting useless.

Far right white supremacist killings of Jews is far more prevalent in the US than Muslim killings of Jews. My first suspects would be among the extreme right.

Hmm. Most of these seem like fairly minor inaccuracies. Some are more inaccurate, but all seem to have some bearing on real events he was involved in. I'm not really seeing an intentional weaving of untruth like I see in many other politicians at this time. I more see the unscripted memory recall of an older person.

Xwitter is a Nazi hate cesspool. I deleted my account not long after Musk took over. I would be delighted to see it fail, and Musk brought down a few notches.
