  • Ubuntu gnome. Wanted to install a gnome add on (hibernation button), searched how to do it and learned there’s a section in the gui store but couldn’t find it. Searched for that and turns out they removed the add ons section from the store in the latest version and I need to use a browser. Tried to install it from a browser and it still didn’t work. Tried the other browser and failed again. Searching for that discovered that the pre-installed browsers are snap packages and can’t interact with anything else 🤦

    Instantly switched to kubuntu. It had the hibernation button out of the box






  • People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn’t mean average on the “scale of beauty/attractiveness”. But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.

    It more likely means ‘like faces that were called average in the dataset’ rather than an actual average.









  • “Google’s IP Protection means ISPs will no longer have visibility of data via an IP address whist leaving Google with the ability to monitor and process data at all times”

    Wait, I must twist this in a way people will care

    “This will make the provision of child protection services more difficult for ISPs.”


    Initially, IP Protection will be opt-in, but Google intends to make it the default setting for the Chrome browser.

    Although I’m not a huge fan of compulsory VPN for everyone. A future where only a small amount of people have direct connections from their homes sounds bleak.
