Toothpaste conspiracy rule (lemm.ee)
 

Twitter Nick Jack Pappas@Pappiness Why do people care if 9 out of 10 dentists recommend a toothpaste brand? Dentists make more money when you have bad teeth. I want a toothpaste recommended by 9 out of 10 health insurance companies.

You need to cross a river that’s home to crocodiles. How do you get across safely?

You simply swim across. All the crocodiles are at the lion’s meeting!

This looks great.

Suggestion: a step-by-step "howto" with an example or three to make it more useful for beginners.

What could be done to make PeerTube more popular? (joinpeertube.org)

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

How do I launch the Profile Manager of Flatpak Firefox with Gnome 3? (lemm.ee)
 

I would like the Firefox profile manager to open when I run Firefox from the GNOME 3 menu, be it the DashBar or the native menu. I installed Firefox using Flatpak.

I know that I can run it from the terminal with flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p. But how do I modify the .desktop file? I guess it is the one in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop? I tried replacing the line

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox --file-forwarding org.mozilla.firefox @@u %u @@

with

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox --ProfileManager

but I cannot save the document because of "too many symbolic links".

What is the secret?

I really wish Firefox would simply offer this as an option in its settings.

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?

Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?

So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... (lemm.ee)
 

... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...
