The first documented school shooting in the US was in the 1920s. While they were not as prevalent, they continued happening and climbing. Then the 90s got way worse, the 2000s even worse. So, mass surveillance has been on the rise just like school shootings have been on the rise. Now read your comment again and see if it makes any sense.
So, she was willing to trust Snapchat to secure her privacy, whereas you had to earn her trust for her to believe you would secure her privacy, while being in a relationship with you. This goes to show how the population thinks. Corporations will take care of me, but the people around me will fuck me over. 😒
Where I live there is little to no mass surveillance, and the only "shootings" in schools are the high school students shooting alcohol hidden from the teachers.
We do have crime, like every other country, but by population count, it's not that bad.
There are cameras in most key intersection in major cities, and they are monitored by the emergency services, but no plate readers or face recognition whatsoever.
I would be behind your statement if you said it 10, or even 5, years ago, but right now, and to use your own term, that teacher is the one being obtuse. Everyone sees all these news on privacy invasion by corporations and governments on a daily basis. Choosing to do nothing about it does not make you a victim.
It would be a different story if there were no alternatives, but that is not the case, at least not yet.
Yeah, I can see how that's a fact. I guess that the bad parts of anything are generally louder than the good ones, which would have your comment make sense. But also, there is no denying that the bad parts are way more prevalent than the good ones as well.
So in this context, yes, there are some sectors and industries in which costs have decreased, but the vast majority have increased, and most of those will just keep climbing, at least that's how I see it.
I'm in a similar situation as you. I've been a Gnome user since Gnome 2, but want the same as you, which is why I asked for the configuration in Plasma to have a starting point.
I just spun up a new Fedora KDE install to try again (for the 100th time) to achieve the same workflow I'm used to in GNOME (mostly it's having an app grid instead of an app menu, dynamic workspaces and 'dash-to-dock' functionality). There are some things that have been incredibly hard for me in KDE in terms of ease of access, like how 'Alt-tab' doesn't seem to work across workspaces, then Plasma in default is just too crowded when compared to Gnome. But I think KDE is far superior in terms of customization, and I can easily have various windows of the same app open and traverse across them with alt-tab, whereas in Gnome alt-tab will only work across apps, not separate windows of the same apps.
So, like you, I'm still trying to make my DE my own, but it is fun, and I am learning a lot doing it.
I don't think they have any kind of grasp on reality, so they still probably think they can't fail. Seeing them slowly implode is so much fun right now.
Would you be kind enough to rephrase your post in a way that even us, non-(whateverthatwas)-speaking individuals, can potentially make out what you said?
I hope so too, but I'm not holding my breath. People keep showing that critical thinking is an old paradigm that most of humanity is unwilling to interact with. In short, not happening! 🤣
That is what capitalism was supposed to be, yet, here we are. I want what you say, but that is wishful thinking at this point. Unless some weird company or individual with unlimited funds decides at some point to do just that, which would make all other businesses rethink their ways because every client would be jumping ship, I honestly don't see that happening in oÃr lifetime.
During his campaign he made, like any other fucking politician, many promises that were unhinged for anyone that knows anything on how the government infrastructure works at the federal, state and city levels, and of course that made me instantly put him together with the rest of the politicians. Don't get me wrong, the other 2 candidates were infinitely worse, no discussion there. As expected, when he won, and took office, he had to pedal back on some of those promises. However, as I said, I AK happy for New Yorkers to see that I was wrong about the guy, as he keeps surprising me in the best way possible. Now, make no mistake, he is still a politician, and I hold absolutely no faith in any of them, left, right, center, up or down. But the guy is, by miles, the best official in any seat in the US right now. I also like Kennedy from Texas, but for entirely different reasons. The guy is a solid attorney and will destroy his opponents with facts, even if he doesn't like the facts himself. Again, he is a politician, so I'm sure he's full of shit too, but it is fun to see him perform though. Full disclosure, I'm jot from NY, but I would certainly like a mayor in my city like Mandani, ours is a fucking moron that can't tell chocolate from shit 😒
Gnome has slowly become like a DE made by Apple. Even trying to configure it to use a screen shot app other than the integrated one is a fucking chore, they want you to forcibly use theirs, which is great for basic screen shooting, but I'm more of a flames hot fan because of how seamless it is to annotate on any shot instead of taking the shot, having to use a second app to edit/annotate, and then, I don't know when it started, but every screenshot gets saved as a picture now, no way to just use it with the clipboard and let it disappear on the next SC or copy.
Then there's the mentality. In GNOME If a feature doesn’t fit the design language, no matter how popular, it's rejected. Dissenting opinions on design choices are almost always met with "trust the process."
Dude, if you documented your process for this, could you share the configuration with me, please? I've been trying (on and off) to do precisely that because of how walled GNOME has become between GNOME 39 and now, but my results have been "less than spectacular" to say the least. I think I just need a starting point, but the videos on YouTube about that are not really practical. I'm on GNOME because I just love the whole workflow, but would rather be on Plasma with the Gnome workflow if possible. That would be great. If not, well FUCK YOU! Just kidding, lol (about the fuck you, I still would love a starting point on this 🤣)
I went thought the exact same process for about 3 months, on CachyOS. Went back to Fedora about 3 weeks ago on both my laptop and PC, and it is refreshing.
No, we know. My wife used to manage a shift of the emergency services, and they just don't have the funds. Not happening for another 4 to 8 years.

Empires fall my friend, specially if they have a fucking 'Nero' at the helm.
Hey, thanks so much. I'll try this video. I really appreciate it.
Once I'm done, I'll come back to let you (and everyone else) how it went.
For now, have an amazing week.

That's part of the fun as soon as you see how much control you really have over your computer once you make the jump. Hope you're enjoying it.

I honestly doubt that those savings would go to the clients, in all likelihood, they would just become profit margin.

It's so fucking dumb. They are getting attacked, and they still need to be told to unplug? What the actual fuck?
