That sounds like an issue with your computer rather than W11. I just used Etcher on my W11 desktop to flash Mint XFCE yesterday with no issues.

First the trans people come for my energy, then they come for my trains? When will the madness end? Won’t someone think of the children!

I think this is important. That said, traffic info is the whole ballgame for many people. People who live, work, and drive in metro areas frequently use map applications even when driving everyday routes to avoid traffic.

I don’t see Google/Waze/Apple maps getting any less popular unless there is a FOSS alternative that includes live traffic, which does not seem possible while remaining free. People will choose free every time, especially since Google maps works so well.

Personally, I would pay some amount for a privacy-minded alternative, something like OrganicMaps with live traffic. But I doubt it could ever attain the user base it would need to provide accurate traffic info.

Revealed my what?

I think the miscommunication here is in the function. I agree with you, that you can use Spotify to find all kinds of music, and even incredibly niche music if you dig around. What the user you replied to wants is to be able to find that incredibly niche/hyper-specific music with a single search query.

If that user wants to discover music like the band Tool, but has never heard of the band Tool, they want to be able to type “complex polyrhythmic prog metal with tribal trance undertones” and have it spit out Tool, Lucid Planet, etc. Spotify can’t do that. Tool is popular enough where it isn’t a great example. But even still the best you could do is look at their curated lists for prog metal and polyrhythm and come up with what you want after skipping through some bands. And you would find things like Dream Theater and Periphery on those playlists which couldn’t be further apart from Tool and each other, despite sharing a general genre.

That example proves the first users point. The answer to the German question is that they spend a great deal of money on having an excellent education system, and spend a lot of time educating their youth with an honest, unflinching look at the history of Nazism and fascism.

I’m not even saying don’t throw people in jail, I’m simply saying it is pure idiocy to believe that will do anything at all to help the underlying problem.

Their point is that not only does jailing them not deprogram them or prevent them from spreading their rhetoric, it is more likely to have the opposite effect.

I legitimately can’t tell if you are saying that ironically or not.

Are you Lynyrd Skynyrd?

maybe it's time for native Americans to kick the rest of us back to the sea because we obviously don't deserve their land

Also, for those leaking info, please do better than the OOP of the screen shot contained in this post. Not saying this is particularly sensitive and I don’t even know if their intent was to remain anonymous. But just a reminder to think about the little things like the “You forwarded this message at 11:17” because if anyone cares, they could easily find out who forwarded that email at that time. I would guess that most government entities could pretty easily come up with justification to fire anyone based on the public dissemination of intergovernmental emails, regardless of whether the contents were specifically noted as sensitive.

I only felt compelled to comment this because this is the second post I have seen in the last day or so with an identifying feature like that. There are a lot of government employees who probably can’t stomach working under this administration, and I get it. But there is an argument to make that those of you who oppose the administrations stances can do more good from within, or at least do your best to minimize the harm that would be caused by the bootlicking henchmen you will be replaced with.

Indifference still doesn’t feel like the right word, because there is a connotative implication that the universe is choosing indifference, or that it could be otherwise. It still seems to lean towards ascribing entity to the universe. In this context it is better, I think, to think of the universe as simply existence.
