Oh, I understand it... it's basically free and I think they feel that advertising on facebook is good business. Facebook has just made it hard to view without an account. I think I'd have less of a problem with it if I could view the information without facebook popping up a "create an account" modal constantly, preventing me from viewing the information.

This is cool but I think the reason Ford isn't selling many trucks is because they are expensive. And this at $95k... cool but too expensive for me. I realize batteries are expensive but they need to start making cheaper EVs. Not everyone can afford a luxury car/truck and the Lightning, while cool, is definitely a luxury truck.

This... too many small businesses use facebook as their "webpage." I'm not creating an account, blank or otherwise, to view your hours... I probably just won't go.

Email is considered insecure as a 2nd factor. TOTP stands for Time-based One-Time Password. Usually you store a seed and that combined with the time generates a time based password. If someone intercepts it, it's only valid for a certain time frame (I think about a minute or so), after which it's invalid.

I wouldn't buy a car from Elon either, fortunately other companies make EVs

Stage 3 colon cancer in my late 40s. Going through Chemo now. My oncologist thinks we can eradicate it so I'm hopeful. He also thinks it's due to the increase of Microplastics.

If you are in your 40s, go get a colonoscopy. The prep sucks but it's worth it.

Some can be very big if they include pictures. (like cookbooks)

However, yes.... if it's just say a fiction book with no pictures, they are kilobytes in size.

Are you saying there is precedence for what we currently have? Trump seems to think that he'll get impeached if republican's don't win. Then if he's out, Vance and him seem to have differing opinions on the Epstein files. Vance has also had some things to say before getting all budy-budy with Trump.

France is currently investigating allegations. In fact 10 countries have opened investigations.

So I suspect Trump is in the files, hence the coverup but once he's gone I think there might be enough public pressure to cause the next administration to do something.

I mean, Biden pardoned his family because he thought the new administration would go after them.

Of course, I can't see the future and maybe it all gets swept under the rug, but I'm hopeful.

I don't know if ever is the right term. I'm hopeful that once this administration is gone, the next administration might start doing their job and investigate some of these individuals, leading to prosecutions.

But I think you are certainly right that the current administration is corrupt and no prosecutions will happen under them.

There is an experimental Wayland for Mint... on the login screen there is an icon in the upper right. Clicking that allows you to select the experimental Wayland version or X11... there's one other but I forget what it is at the moment. So it is possible to run Mint and Wayland, just not recommended.

I mean, if you are recycling devices that others would have thrown away, I'd say you are not wasteful at all.
