https://itsfoss.com/news/kde-plasma-per-screen-virtual-desktops/

An independent webXray audit of more than 7,000 California websites found that Google, Meta, and Microsoft often continued tracking users even after opt-out signals were sent. The report says 55% of sites still set ad cookies after opt-out, with reported failure rates of 87% for Google, 69% for Meta, and 50% for Microsoft.

as it is right now in 90-days session will essentially be no more.
All paid staff have already been let go, and everything is being run completely by volunteers, so it remains available on app-stores and websites, but that will change if they don't get help.

Thomson Reuters, a media company and data broker, has long provided personal data used in ICE tools, according to reporting. There are also indications this data may feed into Palantir systems used to identify neighborhoods for enforcement.
Reuters, once a major competitor to the Associated Press, was acquired by Thomson Corporation in 2008 to form Thomson Reuters.

https://www.howtogeek.com/these-are-the-worst-linux-recommendations-ive-heard/
6 pieces of REALLY bad Linux advice, that people need to stop giving:
- If a command fails, just use sudo
- Updating your system is a waste of time; you can always do it later
- Always use Ubuntu as a beginner
- You have to use the terminal for everything
- It’s safe to download software from random websites
- You don’t need to keep backups if you work in the cloud
