There’s some free dns servers which block certain stuff (pretty sure adguard has them, other products are available) which can be set on the router and/or the device itself. This is not very flexible but it’s easy to set up.

145·6 days agoHow is this reasonable, they’re traumatizing the kid why exactly? 10 year olds are out on their own all the time in Germany and aren’t being chased by police.
Pretty sure that’s also from Raymond, who is racists af, see my other comment.
Raymond is so much worse. Since you apparently aren’t convinced I pulled some quotes:
CW racism, homophobia, Islamophobia
Black people are stupid and violent:
In the U.S., blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of violent crimes; can anyone honestly think this is unconnected to the fact that they average 15 points of IQ lower than the general population? That stupid people are more violent is a fact independent of skin color.
Again:
What’s keeping women in general from occupying the vast middle of the programming field is not general intelligence. On the other hand, the average black American has an IQ about 85 and that is pretty much a disqualifier right there. Only the cohort of their bell curve above 3 STDs from median has much hope of matching the capability of the average white programmer.
Police should shoot black men (calls them “males” like they’re animals), that’s just rational:
Police who react to a random black male behaving suspiciously who might be in the critical age range as though he is an near-imminent lethal threat, are being rational, not racist. They’re doing what crime statistics and street-level experience train them to do, and they’re right to do it.
Homosexuality and pedophilia are connected:
If the prevalence of homosexuality in the Catholic priesthood is the elephant in the sacristy, the homosexuality/pederasty/pedophilia connection in gay culture is the elephant in the bath-house. No amount of denying it’s there is going to make the beast go away.
They hate us for our freedom:
Al-Qaeda would not hate us any less; it is not, at bottom, U.S. policy that enrages them, it is the fact of our wealth and freedom and refusal to submit to the One True Way of Allah.
Muslims are barbarians that need to be civilized by force to prevent the white genocide:
If there’s no way short of straight-up imperialism and nation-building all over the Islamic world to prevent a holocaust on American or European soil that would make 9/11 look like a garden party, then that’s what we’re going to have to do – civilize the barbarians at the point of a gun.
Nuking civilians is good actually:
The U.S. burned essentially every major Japanese city except Kyoto to the ground with incendiaries during World War Two and then atom-bombed two of them. This seemed to help.
Deliberate cultural genocide is what we need:
How dare I argue that the U.S. has the right to commit deliberate cultural genocide?
There’s a big hole in the ground in Manhattan. That’s my argument.
Raymond is a fucking fascist.
CW racism
He’d call himself a libertarian, but he’s the kind of libertarian that wants to bomb muslims for hating our freedoms and thinks black people are just naturally more criminal because they have the crime gene or something, and no I’m not making this up.
Plus he’s one of the “open source” rebrand types, so as not to scare the
hoescorporations with too much scary “free software” hippie communism.
If you install (well more like unpack) Firefox from the official binary tarball, that will update itself.
2·2 months agoAh verstehe. Ja wenn man eh nen Takt früher fährt, kommt das evtl. dann noch dazu, wobei man das zu den Unwägbarkeiten zählen könnte, weswegen man ja eh schon einen Takt früher fährt. Ich würde deswegen jetzt mein Verhalten jetzt nicht so ändern, und trotzdem nur einen Takt früher nehmen, wenn’s wichtig ist.
Ich hab mal drüber nachgedacht: Also, wenn die S-Bahnen jetzt nicht mitunter zwei Minuten zu früh fahren würden, würde auf der verstopften Stammstrecke glaube ich hin und wieder ein Slot ungenutzt bleiben, was dann zu chronischer Verspätung bei sehr vielen S-Bahnen führen würde. Das würde dann vermutlich deutliche mehr Passagiere betreffen, als die eher vernachlässigbare Zahl, die ihren Anschluss verpassen, weil die S-Bahn zwei Minuten zu früh dran war. Davon profitieren alle anderen. Und sogar die Leute, die deswegen den Anschluss verpassen, werden vermutlich regelmäßig davon profitieren, wenn zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt die S-Bahn weniger Verspätung hat wegen dem System.
Ist wahrscheinlich tatsächlich “besser” irgendwie, weil die meisten Fahrgäste wahrscheinlich auch schon zwei Minuten früher da sind, aber ja, viele (die meisten?) S-Bahnen sind 20-Minuten-Takt. Ich wäre schon angepisst, wenn meine Verbindung nicht klappt, weil die S-Bahn zu früh da ist. Wobei wie oft das tatsächlich vorkommt dann in der Praxis, ist vielleicht nicht so das Problem wenn man das mit anderen Sachen vergleicht. Verstehe auch nicht, wie du auf zwei Takte eher kommst. Das würde doch höchsten einen Takt Verspätung bedeuten.
Schließe mich der Empfehlung an. Die Rezepte sind meistens einfach und funktionieren immer gut. Es sind ein paar Grundlagenkapitel dabei mit Erklärungen. Hat fast die komplette bayerische Küche drin, ist also auch gut als Nachschlagewerk. Das Teil ist an einer Haushaltsschule entstanden und gibt’s schon ewig, das ist erprobt.
Wait do you reply to everyone using the term Zionist with that? Because that’s some random tangent if I’ve ever seen one, triggered by a single word. Good derailing tactic though, you completely changed the subject.
I’m not even sure what your point is. Are you confused about what Zionism is? Because that’s funny for a Zionist to be confused about. It means you support the existence of a Jewish-supremacist state, and it’s a 19th century nationalist idea from Europe. So whatever you’re on about is irrelevant. I’m calling you a Zionist, since you clearly support Israel or you wouldn’t be taking the time to spread incorrect bullshit in defense of the IDF here.
Maybe you’re confused about my comment. Let me explain. You said:
So the IDF controls the border between Gaza and Egypt? You should let Egypt know their border isn’t sovereign anymore.
Egypt controls Egypt’s side of the border. Israel controls the Gaza side, what with them occupying it. Since that should be pretty obvious, it sounds like you think Egypt, in order to be sovereign, needs to control both sides the border, i.e. invade Gaza.
Which is funny to me, because that obviously defeats the whole purpose of a border. So I’m imaging you as a person who thinks the whole point of a border is that both sides should be controlled by the same state, since that’s how Israel does it, and you being a Zionist, you think that’s the normal way a border works. So “Zionist logic”. This is a funny thought, a person so brainwashed they don’t understand that borders are not like a checkpoint between Israel and the West Bank. There, you made me explain the joke.
Yes they do. Even if they didn’t that excuses nothing about what Israel is doing.
And I guess by your Zionist logic no country has any sovereignty if anybody but themselves controls both sides of the border, which checks out since that’s also how Israel seems to think borders work.
Tons. This on is from Oct 30 in The Nation:
The German state’s show of support has led to an outright banning of most pro-Palestine protests. […]
The reasons for the bans seemed unambiguous: German police said that there was an “imminent danger” that the assemblies will result in “inciting, anti-Semitic slogans,” as well as “glorification of violence.”
Preemptively. Because antisemitism and “glorification of violence” might occur. And by antisemitism they mean things like this:
On October 13, Berlin police declared uttering the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” forbidden and indictable. That same day, Berlin’s education senator, Katharina Günther-Wünsch, sent a letter to all Berlin school principals offering them the option to ban students from wearing “pro-Palestinian symbols such as the keffiyeh.” “Any act or expression of opinion that can be understood as advocacy or approval of the attacks against Israel,” she wrote, “constitutes a threat to school peace and is prohibited.”
Yeah no the other poster is correct, I meant Ubuntu doesn’t do feature updates after release. You seem worried about something that’s quite unlikely to happen (breakage introduced from minimal patches), while delaying security fixes. And I assume the vast majority of updates are security fixes.
And I also think you’re being rude in this whole thread.
Ubuntu only does security updates, no? So that seems like a bad idea.
If you still want to do that, I guess you’d probably need to run your own package mirror, update that on Monday, and then point all the machines to use that in the sources.list and run unattended-upgrades on different days of the week.
Check again what the parent poster said:
As long as they are not violent they can protest all day long.
Which is what I replied to, and which is clearly not true, they ban nonviolent protests all the time.
What you’re saying is absolute horseshit.
They banned many many protests in Germany (before they happened, at the permit phase). The excuse the authorities give is usually vague security concerns, and they always argue that something antisemitic or glorifying violence might be said. And they explictly define any fundamental critique of Israel as antisemitism and any positive mention or symbol of any armed resistance group as glorifying violence, but only for pro-Palestinian groups. You can show support for the IDF as much as you like, in fact providing not just symbolic support, but support in the form of actual lethal weapons is facilitated at the highest levels of the state. That is legal and encouraged. Saying “Palestine will be free.” gets you detained.
Unironisch die Meinung auf r/worldnews
1·2 months agoI’d say grub is having trouble with your hardware (mainboard or disk maybe).
You could try to update your mainboard’s firmware, or install another bootloader (or maybe just a newer version of grub). I’m not sure what the easiest way to get a different bootloader is. I don’t think Debian’s installer offers anything besides grub. Maybe other people can point to a distro where installing something other than grub is easy.
Because switching out the bootloader on an unbootable system (i.e. not from the installer) is going to be whole pain in the butt involving booting into a live usb, mounting and chrooting and god knows what.
1: Probably any non-basic text editor has all these features. Except the tabs, which are not available by default on vim and emacs, but I think KDE’s kate (?) and Gnome’s gedit might have tabs by default, maybe. All the cool kids use vim or emacs though.
4: Haven’t tried but arch wiki says XBox One controllers work by default over USB. I will say that I have seen games not recognizing my (not XBox One) controllers sometimes when not running through steam, but in general the controller situation seems good on Linux.
5: mpv is perfect as it is
7: I know you said GUI but that’s a shell one-liner if I’ve ever seen one.
8: Yes there are Windows-key shortcuts (often called “Super” key on Linux) available for window management. The exact shortcuts depend on the window managers / desktop environment and are usually configurable.
9: Yes most anything works on any distro. For best results though, stick to mainstream distros and don’t be fooled by “trendy” distros. Those are not necessarily mainstream, even if you think they are based on what teenagers spam on reddit. If it doesn’t have at least a 10 year track record, it’s probably a fluke and won’t be supported in two years.
Nvidia: Just google whatever your distro + Nvidia, look for the official wiki or whatever, and follow the instructions. It shouldn’t be that hard on any distro. Never install the nvidia driver through nvidia’s website, that won’t work out well. The nvidia driver is system/kernel level software, you cannot install it in a way that isn’t specific to your distro without breaking something.
I personally do not like KDE, but you seem like someone who should go with KDE, which has lots GUI knobs and twists, which should suit your tastes. Windows power users tend to love that shit.
Also, for god’s sake, try to learn some shell commands, I swear it’ll make your switch easier.
Personally, my favoritism distribution is Debian, I would recommend it. RTFM though.
