They just meant the natives…not courageous people lol

Oh gotcha! Your comment made me realize I had Mr. Roger’s confused with Bob Ross anyway, and was still wrong 😅. Thanks for clearing it up!

Wasn’t Mr. Roger’s a green beret in Vietnam though? Wouldn’t these people idolize that aspect of him?

I feel like that whole concept flew the coop a looong time ago

Water regulations are all over the place when it comes to the different states. Sometime in the 90s ( I think it was then ) new regulations were put in place to reduce the maximum allowable water usage per flush of a toilet and the maximum allowed flow of gallons per minute for all plumbing fixtures.

They were put in place to reduce water waste but many people Trumps age disagree with the regulations due to the effect - like he mentioned - of most showers being limited to x gpm and the perceived change in the resultant shower quality.

Like most regulations manufacturers just make stuff that passes the most stringent requirments and sell them everywhere, so even if your state doesn’t require a 1.5gpm shower head you might only be able to buy 1.5gpm shower heads.

I think this is what he’s trying to change anyway.

That’s a very interesting tidbit. Good to know, thanks for sharing!

Maybe that’s the plan? Start a trade war that will inevitably lead to a real war? It sets a lot more precedent for the lean on all of the marshal law type powers he’s chasing after.

Oh wow that’s a great explanation, thank you! I have a bit of experience with Ubuntu and a fraction of that with Debian but absolutely no experience with any other Linux distro, so I appreciate your reply!

I run Ubuntu Server for my home lab and had a RaspberryPi running Debian for a short while as well but it was all CLI so I have almost no experience with the GUI. I was quite surprised to hear about pop ups for Ubuntu Pro.

I personally found setting up Debian for the Pi to be fairly straight forward and about as difficult as converting an old windows laptop into an Ubuntu Server…server, so they might have made Debian a bit easier to get up and running.

That being said I can’t recall if I got that particular installation specifically for the Pi so that might have an impact there.

I genuinely appreciate your explanation! :)

Ahh so Mint is kept up to date like Ubuntu/Fedora and doesn’t have all the telemetry and pop ups for Ubuntu Pro. Thank you!

So out of curiosity, why Mint over, say Debian? Has Debian added telemetry etc as well?

I think you might be right for the simple reason that (based on that same source and my presumption of their names ) all the C* people seem to be American as well.

Please pardon my ignorance on the matter, how does Mullvad compare to Brave?
