ekky,

Try putting it on!

ekky,

You are right, please excuse me.

So it appears, though I’m unsure whether it auto-accepts required cookies, those that have no opt-out option. If it’s banners, and not walls, then UBlock blocks the banner and thereby doesn’t give permission to store any kind of cookies, including the required ones. Kinda as if you browse the site without ever interacting with the banner.

Sadly, both need to trust that the site actually follows the rules and respects the selected/unselected cookies.

EDIT: Scrap all that, most sites don’t respect cookies settings either way, might just get either of the above and Cookie Auto Delete or something similar.

ekky,

Filters out as in hides it from you?

Ublock origin is very good at getting rid of cookie banners, though you have to enable it in settings, not sure about pay walls.

Sight is just the price we pay for the eldritch knowledge* staring at the sun gives us.

  • Should not have stared at the sun.
ekky,

Right, thank you for the heads-up. :)

As far as I have heard, “activeness” is measured by whether a user posted a comment/post the past month, so lurkers/voters are not being counted. This does likely skew the numbers quite a bit.

EDIT: Found this nice answer from ~5 months ago. Yup, it appears to only count post+comment and leaves out voters and lurkers. :(

ekky,

I personally started by playing around with Ubuntu, but it just didn’t feel intuitive coming from windows.

Went over to Mint, and was very happy,especially with drivers and gaming. I even fully removed my windows installation during this period. Having gained a better understanding of Linux, I have now moved on again.

The only real drawback of Mint is not natively supporting KDE Plasma (as they did before). And yes, you can just install it yourself, but I wouldn’t recommend a beginner who barely knows how to install Linux to attempt such an endevour.

One word of advice to OP: don’t wait till you can’t use Windows anymore. Start by dual booting and getting a hang of Linux, but with windows at the ready for any tasks you cannot yet do/feel comfortable doing on Linux. As you get a better hold of Linux, you should naturally begin to use Windows less.

The worst thing someone can do, is to jump OS without any backup or safety net. Learning to use Windows took a long time, getting a hang of new concepts and getting used to an alien environment. Now, already having a hang of “computers” (Windows), we have digital needs and expectations (E-Mail, gaming, etc.) which will need fulfilling, but many seem to forget that a different OS means different ways of doing our daily tasks and different challenges to handle.

And yes, “different”, because Windows definitely also comes with it’s own unique challenges, you just don’t see them as much when having gotten used to them.

The rich Americans are seldomly native Amaricans, so the meme is right about the immigrants holding all the money.

ekky,

Last I used it, it seemed to lack a lot of more advanced features. I think I especially stumbled over the bibliography, though I did not use any add-ons.

ekky,

Unless you meant that all conservatists gladly convert to socialist views once confronted with true information.

That one word changes the meaning of the meme drastically. ;)
