What about Multiaccount containers?

Doesn't happen like this on Linux (native or flatpak) unless you launch the binaries directly from a locally downloaded folder. I use Android without signing in to Play Store during the setup. So all apps on all of my devices, rely 100% on my decision to update, which I do during the last week of every month.

I show 0 tolerance toward automatic updates.

Addons I use

Code Injector (to remove sticky elements from all web pages)

Dark Reader

Disable Javascript (to disable javascript with one click and continue reading articles without annoyance of any popups)

FB Purity (to remove ads and sponsored or recommended content from facebook feed)

Firefox multiaccount container (to live multiple lives simultaneously using general, personal, professional, banking and shopping containers)

Privacy Badger (fan of EFF)

Thumbnail Ratings Bar for Youtube (to help skip crappy videos)

uBlock origin (definitely required)

vimium (vim like keyboard shortcuts to navigate webpages)

jshelter (to limit access to advanced JS features, like canvas, to websites to keep CPU cool and provide enhanced protection against miners)

Can you imagine my life without Firefox?

Flatpak can install and run apps without administrative privilege, which is great to use and throw non-free apps, say on a temporary account. Finding and distinguishing free and non-free apps is also easy on flathub.

"Cinnamon's roots as a fork of GNOME 3 do offer a significant potential feature that MATE, Xfce and indeed Unity cannot do: fractional scaling."

Since 2020, Xfce supports fractional scaling.

In a fully automated world, I don't think humans ever need to step out of their homes except for surgery, recreation or natural disaster. Anything else you can think of can be carried out remotely. For minor health issues, online prescriptions will be enough. Minor damages to living environment would be repaired by specially dispatched robotic systems. With less people on road, automation will be more efficient resulting in even lesser people on the road.

So many employees giving bad name to eBay.

Last time when I used windows, it was Windows XP. Switched to Mac and now for a decade or so I'm on Linux. A story titled with Windows XP is a pleasant surprise.

I can't believe this post has been marked with score 5 and informative while the fact is that it is misinformative. The countries affected are Indonesia and Pakistan, not India.

India and Pakistan are two different countries. Free internet that lacks net neutrality was already banned in India 6 years ago. I guess you want to say Pakistan and not India.

If better user-generated unbiased neutral alternative quality indicator is not provided then overall quality of videos will drop. A better way is to exclusively use dislike button to mark a video that one doesn't like and abstain from clicking it if one likes something. If viewers avoid using the like button, voting system will become more meaningful for the content creators because this way then can know if a video if flawed and improve its correctness/quality.

Imagine walking down the road in a city you never visited before and the moment you look at a store, your augmented reality system will display the details of the store customized according to your life's history. This is exciting. What is super exciting is to try to break into your subconscious mind with the help of augmented reality because you have no way to disassociate with it once you start believing it as normal part of your daily life.

Wow, now I can make Windows 11 start menu usable like Windows 10
just the way I used to make Windows 10 start menu usable like Windows 7 !

Why not I just retrain myself and move on.

They should include cost of producing and adding essential nutrients to their protein before comparing with soya that naturally contains them. Presence and role of essential nutrients has been ignored, making this study less relevant.
