Well, I got totally fed up with all the hassles and gotchas using and modifying #Lubuntu 22 and #24.04LTS #Linux releases after 10 years of smooth operation using previous releases.

I've now converted my machines to #MINT #v22.2 using the #XFCE display manager and it is EXCELLENT. Recommend it!...

But I didn't try #MINT 's #Cinnamon desktop as it sounded too #MSWin -ish and probably bloated with too many accessories that I didn't need. That's why I opted for XFCE which was reported to be quicker and leaner than #Lubuntu 's #QT based equivalent. Mint's file manager #THUNAR is far superior too!

There are pipelines to build. Refineries. LNG terminals. Critical mineral mines. Small modular reactors. Wind and solar projects and the transmission lines to move the power between jurisdictions.

Opinion: Unfortunately, there are many eager to use Trump’s tariff threats as cover to advance a ‘maple-MAGA’ agenda that includes gutting Canadian environmental protections and securing new subsidies for upstream oil and gas.

This photo of Mark Carney and Tom Hanks on “Epstein Island” is going viral. The photo is completely fake.

Do people or businesses make money directly from posting promo ads and links on Bluesky?. I'm encountering about 50,% or more on some topic feeds. This is serious as its diluting the quality of posts, commercializing them, and turning Bluesky into yet another Facebook or Instagram, X or Reddit. Bad!

Someone posted this pic of a moth or butterfly recently and could not ID it. This is a crop of their large original.
Anyone got an identification for it?
