Mint is a good recommendation. I’ve used it for most of a decade because I just want my system to work.

Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

Some of the trust comes from eyes on the project thanks to it being open source. This thing got discovered, after all. Not right away, sure, but before it spread everywhere. Same question of trust applies to commercial software too.

Ideally, PR reviews help with this but smaller projects esp with few contributors may not do much of that. I doubt anyone has spent time understanding the software supply chain (SSC) attack surface of their product but that seems like a good next step. Someone needs to write a tool that scans the SSC repos and flags certain measures like the # of maintainers.

PS: I have the worst allergies I’ve had in ages today and my brain is in a histamine fog so maybe I shouldn’t be trying to think about this stuff right now lol cough uuugh blows nose

Dvorak Symphony No 9, Largo

God I am getting crazy goosebumps just listening to this again. I love the 9th symphony so much.

Oh wow that is amazing. Thank you!

I forgot how much I love this kind of choral music.

What are you trying to achieve?

It’s kind of horrifying nobody thought that through. What else did they fail to think about?

This doesn’t seem that much worse than American rules that have already been in place for a long, long time.

Do you really want to be like the US, though? I think maybe that’s not a great idea. (Source: am from US)

Totally agree. Have been there and done that quite a few times too.

Oof. Would a mirror help? Either clip onto handle bar or clip onto glasses/sunglasses?

Yum. Not sure if it is the same stuff or comparable but my lazy-ass guac is basically mashed avocados and Lawry’s Fire Roasted Chili and Garlic Powder and it is quite yummy with chips.
