Not to defend Osbourne in any way but from a newspaper owned by DMG Media who the hell are they to be speaking?

Most (though not all) in the UK since at least the 90s are plastic except for the heating element and electronics, microplastic concerns aside they're considered more efficient since it's a better insulator. Regardless of material every home has one I can tell you that.

I know it's an annoying cliche answer at this point but I really do love my air fryer, it got me out of a cooking rut and made me more creative. I've had it for a year and a half an use it 3-4 times a week.

Would be better if this had serious suggestions. But to add a serious one, please say something like "content blocker" instead of "adblocker"; you're not freeloading by blocking ads, you're choosing to not connect to unwanted privacy-hostile content with your computer and internet connection, as you should.

AC (air-conditioning) is pretty bad for the environment, it seems pretty short-sighted to suggest it as a way of coping with climate change "let's make sure we're alright by making things worse for everyone else".

I haven't blocked anyone yet, not really a believer in it unless they're personally targeting me. For me it feels like plastering over cracks, I'd rather just leave if there were too many toxic people around.

They're a political group by definition, even if you don't believe the rationale it's their prerogative, if they left former Twitter purely because it didn't align with their values that wouldn't be a contradiction in and of itself because their whole reason for existing is taking a political stand.

They don't have their own instance as far as I know but they're very active on mastodon.social

I don't know who this person is, but doing some research this "wireless festival" is managed by some American entertainment company called "Live Nation Entertainment", so that's typical.

The one person I know who owns one (who is overall happy with it) complains that it's bit bulky for tight manoeuvres and narrow lanes, but it's spacious enough for four adults to travel in reasonable comfort. If that's what "compact" means to you then so be it but If words have any meaning it's a generous mid-size car. Not something you'd buy if you specifically wanted something small.

What’s new?

We’ve promoted our KDE Plasma Desktop offering to “Edition” status. The Fedora KDE team has been hard at work making sure bugs get fixed and everything is polished just so. We’re confident that this can stand along our other amazing flagship offerings.

I know the naming is a bit confusing, with GNOME-powered “Workstation” using a generic label while KDE Plasma Desktop has the tech right in the name. We’ll get that figured out eventually. If you don’t know where to start, don’t panic. Pick one and see how it goes. They’re both excellent desktop environments with great upstream communities, and the same Fedora system underneath it all.

We also have a new alternative desktop choice: COSMIC. This is a modern, written-all-in-Rust desktop environment from our friends over at System 76.

Perhaps most excitingly, we have a new installation interface! The previous UI was designed to manage a lot of before-you-even-start configuration choices. Over the past decade, though, we’ve gone to “get the full system installed with no fuss, then set up what you need from a complete environment”. That made the “hub and spoke” model more confusing than helpful. The new UI is streamlined and sleek, just like the Heart of Gold.

Of course, there are other big changes, as well as the usual updates to thousands of packages. See the Fedora Linux 42 Release Notes for all of the details, and don’t miss the “What’s New?” posts here on Fedora Magazine.
