Linux distro question / switching Linux desktop should be a trivial, officially supported distro feature by now
Linux distros need to be less sloppy about encapsulating the complexity of the bundled programs and config information required to run a desktop environment or window manager. Package groups exist for a reason, but there needs to be more, to include default config files, etc, reliably outside of a live installer environment. I switch desktops and window managers, etc, fairly regularly even though it is almost always not officially supported. It is only not easily supported because of sloppy distro packaging practices, and a reticence to write original documentation. Does anyone know linux distros that support this officially, or provide better abstractions which make the unsupported path easier?
I am really sick of condescending maintainers telling forum newbies that they just need to reinstall their distro every time if they don't know how to undo the distro package dependency spaghetti on their own immediately. That's lazy and unnecessary. Making them work 8 hours to get their own independent account of what is required to proceed, or work iteratively on a half-broken setup to find out what unspecified requirements exist, should be a thing of the past by now.
The self destructive urge to join a group chat versus the destructive urge to start a group chat to begin with.
vlc whining
Modifying the vlc-git PKGBUILD to target the latest VLC 3.0.x branch instead of this UI overhaul with removed features crap. I am so frustrated that I had to find this out by compiling from source.
edit: yeah I don't know how to make this work.
The upcoming VLC 4.0 UI update removes thr icecast online radio server directory. Huge and baffling regression.

Donation campaign for a Jewish family who fled from Ukraine and now lost their whole home and things to a fire in Germany too.
Campaign description only in Hebrew and Russian, but translate tools might help.
I happen to know one of the rabbis who vouch for this campaign.

📣 Update: thank you everyone who responded, I think we have enough for now (see reply).
Do I know anyone with the interest, capacity and hardware to receive (via mail) ~20TB of videos by trans creators on LTO-6 tape and upload them to archival storage? They are believed to be at imminent risk of censorship/takedown.
They are currently within mainland USA so ideal would be mailing them to someone also in the states who could then upload them to non-US archival storage.

When it rains, it pours! My co-parent was in a three-car crash last month when he was sandwiched between two other vehicles on the highway. I've been car-less since then, and it's a very challenging situation to dig myself out from under. This car was a miraculous gift, and miraculous gift cars are hard to come by! So, I'm asking for help once again.
Please share widely!

"It’s not just the students: Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students’ essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one."

Why welcome a notorious alt-right-adjacent agitator, @linuxmint?
This is very upsetting and absolutely disappointing.

now let me be clear
CWs are great and I am posting about them because:
1. They can be funny
2. Absurdly online people suddenly make you a sworn enemy for using them and drag your name through the mud for no reason.
haha you must click to read more
You know you can auto-expand content warnings in the settings, right?
That's always been an option. It is like a subject line.
Imagine if people complained that all the emails in their inbox weren't auto-expanding without clicking. Social media has brought strange expectations about visibility.
