As of August 2023, Google Chrome accounted for 66.41 percent of the global desktop internet browser market share. I'd rather not contribute to Google's influence over the internet. They already have too much power, and profit off of harvesting and selling our data.

Chiming in to say #Wayland is what resolved this issue for me. I had to switch from Linux Mint Cinnamon to #EndeavourOS + #GNOME and I'm much happier with my setup now.

#Wayland has been much better for my setup thus far

Recently switched to #EndeavourOS after using #LinuxMint for 9 months. Love it.

China is one of the biggest culprits for blatant plagiarism and IP theft, although recently even academics from Ivy league universities have been implicated in fraudulent publications.

Sure, let's make this about China when 4 out of 5 of the authors credited for the original article are from Africa.

While only one of which was from China. This doesn't even address the fact that the republished paper came from Mawcha which describes a study on millipedes in... Africa. Guess what, Wenxiang Yang wasn't even credited in this version. Was your reply carelessness or dishonesty and lack of integrity? I don't care where the misinformation and carelessness comes from as long as we're making efforts to stop it, but this is highly ironic.

You make a valid point, and there are certainly more considerations than my original reply would lead one to believe. Cheers.

Assuming this is carelessness, this just goes to show that working in academia isn't an indicator of critical thinking skills IMO

AMD has served me well since I've started actively using Linux.

Even though this is a nice development, I'm pretty disappointed in the resources directed at Linux support. I'm considering dropping Proton soon.
