If you want to test several Linux distributions Ventoy can be useful. You can have 10 or more different Linux distributions on one USB stick depending on the size of the stick. This will also save you time "flashing" an image iso to the stick each time because with Ventoy you'd simply copy the image iso files to the stick, quick and easy.

Try Linux Mint.

Thanks! They have indeed several blog articles about that. Here's a few :

Apparently it’s (by default) everything that doesn’t explicitly specify a license (especially a FOSS one) within the javascript code of the page, which is a ridiculously huge portion of JS on the internet.

It is never to late to start something and make people aware of problems and as far as I am concerned not only about software licenses but JavaScript as a security problem.

Disroot stopped using RainLoop long time ago when people became aware of a security bug in RainLoop and the fact that the RainLoop project appeared to be dormant. I think Disroot switched to SnappyMail, and then to Roundcube.

Long time ago Riseup, focused on activists, required two invite codes, probably to avoid abuse. They've relaxed it with asking for only one invite code. You should imho not be asking for invite codes on the Internet but ask your activist friends or read this : https://support.riseup.net/en/knowledgebase/1-accounts/docs/13-how-do-i-get-an-account

The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can't decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.

Agree about nmtui. Nice tool.

• According to this WiFi should work with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 Bit Did you install 24.04 or 22.04 ?

• I'd expect most USB devices to work out of the box. Did you try : sudo dhclient ?

Easiest is probably to perform an installation that comes with a GUI. If the default Ubuntu installation iso is too large, there's for example Lubuntu.

Three examples of open source software where at least one developer could give up their regular job and work full-time on the open source project. I'm sure there's more (The Linux kernel maybe ?) :

• Mastodon
• Lichess
• SerenityOS

In both cases possible because of people donating. The last example is quite remarkable given the personal history of the developer and the fact that it was "just" a fun project with the developer sharing videos about programming for the fun project.

I'd welcome polls implementation on Lemmy but maybe this is difficult with federation ? I wouldn't mind instance only polls.
