  • I tried OpenSuSE for a while… and while I prefer Fedora, I will point out Debian Stable is literally so. Very stable.

    My biggest problem with SuSE is its insistence on certain ways of doing things that have been out of the norm for a long time. The big one is requiring root to be an active user with a password. Most distros lock the root account, which has no password set and can’t be logged in without it, preventing root logins period, and requires you to first login as a normal user that has sudo permissions, then use sudo to do root commands.










  • Browsing extensions are being discovered by directly probing them - over 6,200 of them - and they are particular extensions tied to religious, political, and neurodivergent use cases. This is more than just browser fingerprinting - it is breaching the privacy of the user and profiling them in ways deemed illegal in the EU (GDPR) and even California. That doesn’t include the tracking cookies, either.
