No Research, No Internet

We all take things for granted. For those fortunate enough to have reliable, affordable Internet access, it’s easy to forget that there’s nothing inevitable about being able to FaceTime with a faraway loved one or pay your electricity bill from your phone.

Everyone at the Table: Shaping the Internet Through Collaboration

The Internet is open, interconnected, and doesn’t recognize borders—it’s meant to connect us all, no matter where we live. While it may appear to be a single global network, the Internet is actually made up of over 70,000 smaller networks that work seamlessly together, creating the Internet we know and love. We at the Internet Society believe that the Internet is for everyone.

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jun 10, 2025

Quoting: Attention! Linux Mint 20 Has Reached Its End —

When Linux Mint 20 launched back in June 2020, it brought a range of improvements, such as a refined Cinnamon desktop experience, better performance, and the promise of long-term support (5 years).

If you are on the fence about the upgrade, let me give you a quick look at what’s new and why upgrading is a good idea.
