The best "Chrome extension to prevent creepy web tracking" is to ditch Chrome and start using Firefox.

Firefox is better, focussed on privacy, and not a corporate vehicle intended to take control over internet away from users.

I remain socked to note how people are gleefully walking into the same trap that Internet Explorer was. Granted, Google (+ recently Microsoft) now package the deceit differently, because well, they don't want people to understand too easily. But it's not /that/ difficult to see through...

I'm more interested in why you would consider fleeting hobby projects like MX Linux and Manajro mainstream, or toy kits like Gentoo and Slackware customisable/performant.
All while there's Debian.

For a moment I thought SUSE had taken over kernel maintenance from Linux and his gang. Turns out the title is simply wrong and should have read "SUSE Releases Major SUS Update".

Sweden's death rates have never been remarkably high, have been remarkably low seeing that the nation, while in practice observing lockdown in much the same way as other nations, had no government-imposed lockdown.

Its numbers were and are statistically comparable with that of other European nations.

Short term:

Longer term shows that other European nations have fared way worse, and that was with enforced lockdown, often including criminal charges.

As is stands, Sweden is an example for all European nations.

"Chrome"??
I'm seriously confused as to the apparently somewhat high umber of people using that horrible Internet Explorer 6 of the 21th century.
Did people forget with what goal and massively harmful impact Microsoft pushed IE6? Are they too blind or naive to see that the means are different, but that the goal with which Google (recently joined by Microsoft) pushes this Chrome thing is /precisely the same?

Back to old habits?

Rust was designed in the first place to be a safe(r) alternative to existing performance programming languages. Why would MS choose to try to security improve on Rust, of all languages? And why would they choose to make some MS-owned, probably faux-open source variant of Rust, rather than working together with the community that now develops Rust?

Oh, wait, I think I see. Rust was created and is being developed as a Mozilla project. Still can't have a strong, independent browser producer I guess...

Yup. Incompetent, entitled, and neither willing nor able to properly discuss or argue. Dreadful people.

Our company recently starting rolling out this new thing, threatening it would take over Skype and some other tools that actually work.

I'm amazed by how horribly counter-intuitive the thing is. Not only is it completely unclear what I should or can do with the thing. Even after trying multiple times to find out what it offers and the offerings work, I still haven't figured it out.

It's an absolute mess of an interface, a wild cacophony of featurelets thrown together with the apparent intent of confusing the user so much that they lose all grip on reality.

For the first time in my life I'm actually afraid...

In other words: he "dared" to act normally, which is not accepted any more by a small but growing group of intolerant screechers. He was then attacked over it by said goons, and because he "should have foreseen it", it's actually his own fault.

I'm speechless.

That is basically actively advocating for the downfall of society into some sort of dystopian hell hole.

Just "Debian", is my guess. It's large, popular, has been around for long so it's logical he would use it.
Also, just try and imagine any Eastern-European person pronouncing "Debian"..

Agreed. That story is total, utter, laughable bullshit.

I have been using Debian since 0.93R6 and it has consistency gotten better, with fewer boot issues, fewer driver issues, fewer instances where you'd need to do special things to get normal things working.

Not that this means that Lennart's and Kay's crap shouldn't be burned with Holy Fire, because they are structurally unsound, but that does not validate the nonsense written by anon; Debian 2019 is vastly better than Debian 2009.

Dark themes are a fad, picked up mostly by the young and naive in an attempt to appear trendy.
If you find a normal them too light, you should adjust your display brightness, not strain your eyes unnecessarily with those unreadable dark UI's.
On a side note: UI's full of insanely small icons and 6 pt textlets are in the same class, mostly to be found in interfaces that already suffer from Dark Theme, like programmer editors and photo and video editing software. That makes things worse even.

I'm amazed at the amateurism with with browser companies pick up this sort of stuff.

Today it is sounds (but not fonts).
Yesterday it was videos (but not sounds).
Somewhere along the line it was pages hijacking browser shortcuts. And browser companies even going so far as to /not/ fully capture all, and make the default wrong. And they did so after this issie had been reported what, /decades/ earlier?
Maximising the browser window, in the past. Pop-ups. The list goes on and on.

Everything gets fucking approached one by one, without a streamlined architecture or thinking behind it. Let alone interface.

Failure much.
