With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?
Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?
It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.
So I often have to install and test different programs. I do not want programs to access the Internet immediately. After a while I might want to allow it, so it should be easy to allow or disallow internet access at the application level.
Basically I wonder if there is an easy way to do this. It seems that OpenSnitch can do this, but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuse. I might be able to get it to work eventually, but before I spend hours tinkering with it, do you know of a better solution? Might this even be possible with the built-in firewall or AppArmor?

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"
Really!? 😠
If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

On Windows, installing I2P is easy.
On Linux... not so much. That's because Linux isn't Linux. There's a Debian package, but OpenSuse is its own thing. Is there a way to get I2P, Snark, etc. up and running there without having to jump through too many hoops?

Against a backdrop of the highest number of violent conflicts since the Second World War and a consequent, pervasive sense of insecurity around the world, the United Nations must rethink its efforts to achieve sustainable peace, the Security Council heard today, as speakers presented suggestions to that end during an open debate on investing in people to enhance resilience against complex challenges in the context of building and sustaining peace.
