schestowitz"wouldn't count Cinnamon to the Gnome2 clones, it's more like an advanced Gnome3 (with the most important extensions already built in). happen to have tried that one (I use Mint as default for friends & family installations) and it's quite good, actually."Jun 27 17:19

TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: #GNU and #Linux not mentioned even once in ubuntu.com -what's worse, its senior folks actively discourage people from mentioning those wordsJun 27 22:27
schestowitz"Actually, when I talk to Windows and Mac users, it us Ubuntu that has given them any negative impressions they've had about GNU+Linux. A lot of them had tried Ubuntu, but left during the "six months of silence" when Ubuntu switched to PulseAudio and broke sound."Jun 27 22:27

TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Many people underestimate the hate generated when drone bombs wedding, maiming and breaking to pieces women & children, to counter 'terror'.Jun 27 22:27
schestowitz"I think they're doing this on purpose ... religious fanatics in the US trying to provoke a reaction from the religious fanatics in the middle east, because, as much as they may hate each other, they are united in their common goals of escalation, hate and destruction"Jun 27 22:27

schestowitzThe primary reason for the violence seems to be corruption in secret agencies of the U.S. government like the CIA. For example, the CIA trained Osama bin Laden. If there is more trouble, the CIA receives more funding. So the CIA, at least unconsciously, wants more trouble. Jun 27 23:58

schestowitzIsrael receives an astounding $905 per year from the U.S. government for every man, woman and child who lives there. A large part of that money is spent on weapons bought from the United States. Senators in the U.S. who represent the states with weapons manufacturers have lobbied to continue giving money to Israel. The U.S. weapons manufacturers also sell weapons to the Arabs. Jun 27 23:58
