OK folks, Iâve reopened this thread now. I know some news topics are politically charged by their nature, but letâs try to keep the replies as neutral as possible, so that this thread can remain open.
We would like the Garuda forum to remain free of political conflicts. Politics have no place on the Garuda forum. More risque topics may be discussed in the lounge (within reason), with all discussions being kept in good taste.
Of course, that makes a lot of sense if the end result is this:
Matching: AI makes us humans unlearn how to think, and we mistake it for progress - Mike Kuketz
It may not be the reason I donât coffee, but itâs good to know. 
I wish people/groups would take out local ad time and show off mainly kde in the same way apple did âmac vs pcâ ads. but for local tv that show up during the news or something. Why? it will get more people talking even if they donât use it.
New update video out even though its gtk its looking good. and its webkit https://orionfeedback.org/d/6363-orion-for-linux
I have learned that it takes a considerable high levels stress in peoples lives for there to be change. Apple and Microsoft have to become such a problem to most people that they see alternatives on there own. Unfortunately most of the world isnât awake enough to see what pathways they are being guided to walk down.
However, word of mouth is often the best forms of advertising. If it is meant to happen, then it will happen. Linux is meant to be discovered by people who have started waking up to the realities they have been subjected to all there lives. Linux is meant for the masses who are ready to do the work and make themselves more accountable for choices that they make, in other words, they are ready to throw themselves to the wind and see where it takes them when they learn new skills along the way. All this, rather then asking corporations for help everywhere they turn.
I donât know if Linux needs advertising, people who are meant to be here will be here organically. The communities to what distribution they choose will most likely be ready to scoop them up when the time is right.

I find it disturbing (and understandable) that Apple can display such a message on a phone with no iCloud signed in or SIM card inserted.
Hereâs a guess.
Apple has all the data to activate an eSIM on the phone. 
I wonder if that could still happen if you donât have a data plan or just simply turn off the data and never connect to wifi
Itâs all magic by Apple. Or just backdoor apps?
The data plan is also by Apple, not with the thief.
This terminal looks good! 
This change slipped under Linus Torvaldsâ radar at first but has since been brought to his attention. Linus Torvalds yesterday went ahead and reverted the change:
"This reverts commit 28615e6eed152f2fda5486680090b74aeed7b554.
No, we don't make random features default to being on."
It might be time to back things up just incase a few years down the line things go south. Like mods mainly, so a git could be made with the mods in them.
They call it convenience. But itâs actually control.
Every time you open a laptop, youâre stepping into a world someone else decided for you.
Preinstalled systems are not a service â theyâre a strategy. A strategy to lock you in, shape your habits, and quietly dominate the future of computing.
This documentary dives deep into the hidden history of operating systems preinstalled on consumer hardware, the silent war against Linux and open alternatives, and the monopolistic practices that still define the tech world today.
