The source for the information in this article is a translated interview with a representative from Anatel, our local brazilian telecommunications regulator. Being brazilian, I can confidently say this means absolutely nothing, you can safely ignore this article, and the representative himself probably does not understand half of the words he used.

It’s hard to even mention an entity as completely inadequate at their own job than Anatel.

If we are so extremely focused on making sure money gets used, could we first deal with the people hoarding most of it?

Yep! Okular is amazing, and it’s available on Windows too. Install it for someone and they’ll never bother you again about PDFs or EPUB documents, it’s performant and everything works: printing, resizing, selecting text, searching, signing, adding comments. Never worry about paid PDF software or shady slow apps that keep trying to gatekeep features.

Honestly, there isn’t much to it when setting up Linux for elderly people - in fact, I find it less troublesome than setting it up for a teenager.

Most often the issues regular users face with Linux are related to installing packages from external sources or broken updates. Elderly people tend to not do that.

Set up a stable distro like Debian, Linux Mint or Ubuntu LTS with KDE Plasma or Cinnamon, install LibreOffice, Okular and a browser with strong ad blocking, and any other applications you think they might need. Enable a simple firewall, hide the root / folder from the file browser’s sidebar, and you’re done. Perhaps set up scaling to make everything bigger on their monitors, disable mouse acceleration and set the speed slightly slower than usual.

I wouldn’t bother with immutable distros, Flatpaks are nice and all until permissions turn using a simple app a confusing chore with broken interactions.

Usually the Redditors wear the fedora without knowing how to pair it correctly with the rest of their outfits, so don’t worry, if you wear a nice attire and a fedora people won’t get you confused with the guy wearing an ahegao t-shirt two sizes too small and cargo shorts.

Even though the myth is quite prevalent, the red and white color scheme for Santa is not related to Coca-Cola.

A massive amount of this world’s plastic waste is related to Coca-Cola, though.

I don’t disagree, but it’s pretty weird that Americans always try shifting the blame or motivation around rather than admitting their own questionable behavior.

US being authoritarian? “Must be related to them Russians!”

Cats and kidney disease is a combination that unfortunately is way too common. I’m happy to hear he had a loving caring owner and lived many years, sorry to hear about his passing but I’m sure he had a great life.

I like sharing this little nugget recipe around just because it’s very cheap, and healthy for children, pets and to be fair us adults too, I like nuggets haha.

I don’t think the US threatening to take over other countries is somehow related to Russian imperialism.

It’s quite literally the same old US imperialism that has always existed, only less sugar coated.

Cooked chicken breasts with a little bit of egg whites on a food processor or blender (use water if needed) will result in a paste that can be nugget-shaped and cooked.

Muuuuuch healthier for your cats, and for you too. For the cat, include some source of fat to make it more appealing.

You’re very optimist if you expect ketchup to have any hint of tomatoes if regulations didn’t exist.

It would be tap water, sugar and red food colouring.
