I may give that a try. Currently running Ubuntu Cinnamon. Not bad, but curious to try a few other things. Used Mint a few years ago, but gave up after some memory management issues I couldn't find a solution for.

Getting a little outside my wheelhouse--never used Debian directly. I know it's what Ubuntu is based on, so it's generally expected to have more timely software updates, while Ubuntu is a little more polished and stable.
🚨🚨🚨Heads up, Chicago!!!! The gestapo is headed your way on September 5!!!! Download the @iceblock.app if you haven’t already, start using Waze for your navigation to get and make alerts of ice, and start planning in your communities for active, peaceful resistance!!!!! This is all hands on deck!!!!
Exactly right. They were very clear in their warnings. The rest was out of their control.
Update on the Veterans protest at Union Station
They were slammed when I was there as well, with people forced to share tables. Love their food, and happy for their success!
Maybe if they had a couple more assault weapons...
Maybe that's why they're there in the first place. Just not having such a great day out rabbit hunting, got a little hungry, perhaps?
Meal Team Six heard there was a high crime rate at this McDonalds. Deadly force is authorized against the Hamburglar, or anyone vaguely matching that description.
As I recall, it's unnecessary to lower the flags to half staff when he finally croaks, as well.

Three cheers for the meddlesome priest!
anyone thinking of traveling to the US for the world cup OR LA28 olympics...don't!
But there's always hope that this will be the day that he stops.
I'll travel to Canada just to get in line.
Good Morning Bluesky ☕ I know a lot of you will participate in expression today @abes48.bsky.social @trumphacked24.bsky.social @pawsandhearts.bsky.social @krislb.swifties.social @ericem.bsky.social @chrissynuke16.bsky.social @bluearmyofficial.bsky.social @rsmcnary.bsky.social @drhaup.bsky.social
True. It's easy for us to find ourselves in our own bubbles here on BS, too. Another reason why it's important to get out and interact with your neighbors when you can.
Europe has their own version of GPS, called Galileo. They should wean themselves off of GPS, which is controlled by USA. Either way, I'm glad pilots still know how to use maps.
Just like Facebook, etc. You are the product. Your personal preferences are like gold to whomever can find a use for that information.
Thanks for the clarification, God. One more question--all the thoughts and prayers are going to end the gun violence problem really soon, right?
No kidding--I really thought it would be a drag queen this time. Still no.
Please go out and support the “Workers over billionaires” protests tomorrow— if at all possible. MayDayStrong.org #LaborDayProtest #Resist
Will do!
The software is tried and true, and allows true ownership--unlike MS, Apple, or Google software and their associated "subscriptions." Just be sure to test any new hardware and make sure you can get the right drivers for it before you place any bulk orders.
He's living proof that millionaire CEOs get that way by cheating and anti-social behavior. Also, he's an asshole. Let him sue me.
Terrorism = Delivering food to starving people?
TO ALL VETERANS, PLEASE LISTEN. This combat veteran needs help getting to DC. He needs to protect my brothers in arms over there. Let’s all help him get there. 🫶
If no volunteer drivers, can we get this guy a train or bus ticket?
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Tomorrow we honor the power of organized labor. In these times, Labor Day is not just a holiday, it's a day to stand together with our union siblings and allies as the struggle continues. Find a local labor event going on near you. www.mobilize.us/aflcio/map/?...
union station today, looks like they are ratcheting up efforts to intimidate protesters. big vehicles are back and a handful now sporting “military police” vests
This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
Wise advice to cities targeted or shall I say invaded by ICE Small towns are also seeing these unlawful kidnappings too Spread the word! All it takes to stop them is a few arrests Show the video to your local DA
This is the real story most mainstream journalists are missing. Ppl are setting up neighborhood watch groups to patrol their block, volunteers are accompanying migrants to school/work, etc. and much of this is happening organically as well as being organized by @freedcproject.bsky.social #FreeDC
#AveloOutOfBWI Marylanders, sign the petition to Governor Moore: actionnetwork.org/petitions/go...
This is genius. Let people see the alleged "gang members" and "violent criminals" being kidnapped and disappeared without due process. Things that make you go, "Hmm."
Time for some hopscotch civil disobedience. Dance D.C.! Dare the fascists and have fun while you do it 💃🕺
Subversive. Dangerous. Sidewalk chalk leads to dancing in the streets. We must arm the NG with power washers and deploy them to every sidewalk immediately! 🤣🎨✌️
I hope she gets more than that.
"I want to be a cop so I can beat people up when they're not allowed to fight back." --Too many damn cops
Contagious, indeed--thanks for this! 🤣
“Hitler won. He changed us. He made us like him.”
Honestly, thoughts and prayers have had ample opportunities to solve the problem by now. Seems reasonable to try something else.

Trump, who hadn’t been seen in a few days, which started conspiracy theories about his health, is on his way to golf in Virginia according to a WH pool report.
Calling all Swifties to urge Taylor to sue Meta and its techno-fascist billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, into oblivion.
Maybe we should return the favor to all those governors who sent their troops here by spreading manure around their state capitols and governor's mansions
And bring his enablers to justice.
Russia is a nation of barbarians, and is the enemy of all who are civilized. There are exceptions, of course, but most of them were silenced long ago. America is following this path.

How many cops can they fit in those little clown cars?
Two at the end of the platform at Farragut North an hour ago. Just standing there, doing their best to blend in with the concrete wall.
The Trump cabal is going to sabotage SSA and use it against us to the point we wish it didn't exist, then blame everybody but themselves when they finally decide to abandon its rotting husk and leave us all to spend our golden years begging on street corners.
I got a Covid 💉 today bc of this. I take cancer meds so I fit the immune suppression bill. Kroger gave me the old vax. They said a new one may come out in September but they don't know when or if. CVS told me they couldn't give it to me cause they were told to destroy all their supply. 😳
Perhaps the Press Secretary is not ready to be taken seriously.
Great! Let's get them into their bunkers and weld the doors shut from the outside.
The people of Maine have tolerated her for far too long.
Live in a Blue state? Until it's categorically established there are no kings or dictators in America, your governor is now your president.
It appears those blue-state governors are doing a pretty good job collaborating and standing together against the fascists. They are some of the most important leaders we have at this time.
Oh, the absurdity. It would be a shame if the wildfire burned down the local ICE building.
Rally on Labor Day 🪧 The closest rallies in addition to Baltimore are Olney, Leisure World, Rockville, Towson, Frederick, Bowie, and Silver Spring. Check back again for late registrants.🍃
Correct. Mayor Bowser is pretty much a Congressional vote away from completely losing home rule in DC.
This is eye-opening. I had assumed that wiping some suspicious apps off your phone would be good enough to get most people through the ICE lines at the airport. Apparently they have dossiers on at least some of us already.
We're losing good people by the hour. We've already lost our friends in the world and reputation. And we're spending gobs of taxpayer dollars to do it, mostly going to Trump's buddies. I will never understand how anybody believed this orange lizard intended to make America anything but broken.
Project 2025 is moving faster than anyone thought. Here’s what’s next.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Inspirational.
More than 900 events are planned in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Here's your chance America- Goad trump into deploying the Military declaring Martial Law suspending political elections Then the next American Civil War Start it up Get this show on the road www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-p...

Funny how this clown imagines Taylor would ever listen to him.
As of this evening, they requested printer paper and pens, if anyone is able to drop off a few supplies.
So...should we thank those Republican governors for sending us their finest to pick up the trash for us?
Veterans are at the Union Station in D.C. today and they are participating in a sit in. They will not leave until the National Guard leaves D.C. They ask if you are a veteran in the area, to come on by and pitch in!
I'm not sure how far away we are from dictatorship status. Putin and Xi have sham legislative bodies to rubber stamp their whims, as does Trump. Still, I don't see that most Americans are anywhere near ready for a civil war. Most of us are watching it all fall apart while staring at our screens.
I absolutely support the right to burn the flag as free speech. Personally, though, I prefer the optics of burning a Trump flag. I fly my American flag upside down for now, looking forward to the day when I can proudly restore it.
With federal law being defined as, "However Trump feels like defining it at the moment."
Europe sees, Europe remembers, Europe knows.
MPD and mystery federal agencies have set up a checkpoint on North Capitol by Michigan.
Looks like they picked on the wrong guy. FAFO.
"I said some words. Really tremendous words," added Trump.
The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure
Veterans to Union Station! Defend democracy. Resist authoritarianism.
I'm surprised they haven't made a lookalike for him. Putin, Kim, many of the others have at least one or two. The movie Dave may still become reality.
I'm not going to let them scare me away. Who's with me?
The Trump regime plans to sign executive orders that will end cashless bail and “ask law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in [D.C.] are taken into federal custody.” In other words, the regime is threatening to put any dissenters arrested in D.C. into concentration camps.
If only that hospital hadn't jumped in front of their bomb...
Nazi and Israeli flags side by side? This is one confused, lost soul.
I don't recognize them as Americans. They could never have spoken the same Pledge of Allegiance as I did each day before school.
BREAKING: VETERAN'S BEGIN A SIT-IN IN WASHINGTON DC AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE MILITARY LEAVES TOWN
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
The Feeeeeeeeeeeeeline of the Opera is there...
I want to be in the band playing while Biden dances on his grave.
I like Bernie too, and I don't disagree that our current implementation of Capitalism needs some work. But if this Intel deal was beneficial to anyone but Trump, it wouldn't have happened.
Sorry to hear that, and best of luck to your daughter in her job search. Unfortunately, we have a health care industry that is completely undeserving of most of the people who actually want to help others.
Oh look, he managed a smile for this photo! 🤣
