World hits 12 straight months of record-high temperatures — but as warming continues, it'll be "remembered as comparatively cold"

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?

It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.

So I often have to install and test different programs. I do not want programs to access the Internet immediately. After a while I might want to allow it, so it should be easy to allow or disallow internet access at the application level.

Basically I wonder if there is an easy way to do this. It seems that OpenSnitch can do this, but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuse. I might be able to get it to work eventually, but before I spend hours tinkering with it, do you know of a better solution? Might this even be possible with the built-in firewall or AppArmor?

... 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...

A sad fact. I didn't realize it is this bad. Currently it is mostly escalation after escalation. What way out is there?

After the last update I get the above error followed by the current date and time in the international format. Nothing shows apart from that.

I didn't know, so I looked it up. Now I know. Thought you might like to know too, if you don't already. 🙂

What words, phrases or signs do you use and how do you get your partner's attention?
