The topic was asking for examples; got any?
I had no idea it was even released.
NixOS for me. It's a package manager (a very nice, declarative one) that you can use on any Linux (or Mac), and there's also an entire distro based on it.
As someone who routinely watches YT through Invidious and NewPipe, I haven't changed my habits.
The Electoral College.
The tech isn't there yet. There are so often distracting flaws around the hands/feet. The AI doesn't really know what a human is, its just endlessly re-combining existing material.
Windows has so much pushy behavior - trying to trick you into using Edge, turning on OneDrive and syncing files in the background (eating bandwidth in the process), locking you out of the machine while OS updates run.
When I switched to Linux Mint in 2015, the most surprising result was how much smoother and frictionless everything became.
I genuinely believe that the "average" user outlined above would be served well by Mint. Why would I not tell people to use it?
My lifehack: block every community with "memes" in its name. You'll see far fewer memes in general, and be less aggravated when one does show up!
"Spock once again was able to drink the Klingons into not wanting destroy the Enterprise"
This might also explain how Spock convinced General Koord to aid the Enterprise in STV. Koord was definitely a drinker, too!
I love Signal, and I have persuaded people to use it a lot. That said, it is definitely not the gold standard for privacy. It's a good-enough compromise between actual unbreakable encryption and trivial for anyone to use. It's always been valuable for that reason, and still is.
Don't worry about Molly - it uses a variation of the same code that Signal does, so they don't need "help" to get critical fixes that Signal receives. Use it if you like it!
The actual gold standard for privacy would be logging in through TOR and sending GPG-encrypted messages that way. And there's an app which does this, too - it's called Briar. (No phone number needed, either!) It's not as seamless to set up as Signal is, though.
I'm always glad to see Canon Connections. Thanks for all your efforts!
