Back in the early 2000s, Enlightenment was my desktop of choice. To this day, Enlightenment is still an option, and it's one that remains just as fun and unique to use. Also: MX Linux has an old-school look and feel. Here's why it's so popular Back in those days, I had to install Enlightenment manually, because there were no distributions that offered it as a default.
Do you know what your internet speed is? Are you getting the service your ISP ( internet service provider) promised when you signed that contract? Or are you dealing with slow internet? These might seem like simple questions, but they're important ones. Internet speeds affect nearly everything you do online: how smoothly your video calls run, how responsive your video games feel, and whether you can stream the latest season of "Stranger Things" without buffering. Understanding how your connection works is crucial in troubleshooting internet problems.

Some 4.4 billion people, or about half of people worldwide, are using digital wallets, with that number expected to grow 35% by 2030, according to tech strategist firm Juniper Research. Adults 24 and younger are most likely to pay with their phones, using them to make 45% of their purchases, according to a 2025 report from the Federal Reserve (across age groups, mobile phones were used for 23% of payments).
Part of attention is sometimes conflict, provocation. We're lonely and depressed, getting more polarized every day. We're endlessly doomscrolling, bombarded by rage bait. And it's because our experience on the internet is being overrun by these attention-based algorithms controlled by tech companies that don't have our best interests at heart. I'm tired of what social media is doing to our brains. It has to be possible to have a better experience on the internet, grounded in creativity and human connection, a more human algorithm.
Remember when the internet felt like finding a secret, sprawling attic full of weird treasures? Back when you could actually stumble upon a deeply niche fan site for a forgotten TV show, or read a friend's real, unfiltered feelings on their messy personal blog? It was messy, it was personal, and honestly, it felt like freedom. Now? Now the internet feels less like a space for genuine connection
When I first heard about face book i joined because many of my friends had and it was a way to see what they were all up to. Then it became a place to share notices about my upcoming performances in the Singapore Slingers - A 1920s fox trot orchestra (think of old cartoon music) and a way to share those performance for those who could not attend. I did the video as well and the videos are a legacy which you can see here.
You're not in a terrible position, with one small caveat: You should have something of an emergency fund, or you may end up dependent on others if something unexpected happens. This doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Most Americans would have trouble covering a surprise $1,000 expense if they had to, and it sounds like you're not in that boat. A month's worth of expenses would be a minimum, and three months' would be ideal.
We know that at least 30% of Latinos in the United States use these groups because their phone numbers are local, starting with +1, says Roberta Braga, one of DDIA's founders and executive directors, in an audio message. The Institute focuses on the Latino community, which is why the study has this focus; it has nothing to do with Latinos being more vulnerable to falling for these types of scams, Braga explains.

The early internet was open. It was built on blue links, traffic referrals and users flowing between destinations. Every site did one or two things well, then passed people along. Attention shifted over time as portals, social networks, and search engines fought to become the start of a journey, but rarely the end of it. Businesses learned to navigate each wave, studying algorithms, adapting behavior and understanding the value of owning their customer data. Formats evolved from static images to video to vertical clips.
Do you ever get the feeling that the internet isn't what it used to be? Well, tech critic Corey Doctorow thinks you're right and he has a term to describe it too: enshittification'. He lays out his three-step theory to Nosheen Iqbal, explaining why sites from Amazon to Google to Instagram seem to offer a worsening experience and what can be done to stop it.
Up on ninth, I swiped in and entered the office. Employees shimmered in their nooks like hummingbird wings, faces flipping back to front with every surge peak. Some were translucent - always a bad sign. I checked the manifest. Cubicle 18 was the locus point. First, I'd calibrate the wavefronts. Next, wrap a firewall around the entire grid, and - The inhabitant of cubicle 18 stared up at me, mouth drawn tight with worry.
The Atlantic launched its website in November 1995, 138 years after it first went into print. The magazine began in response to one information revolution; the website appeared at the dawn of another. Now, 30 years on from the launch, you can buy a copy of the first printed edition of the magazine on eBay, but you can't find much of the original website. The internet, notable for remembering just about everything, seems to have forgotten that particular piece of its own history.
People from all stages of life and backgrounds start side hustles to create an additional income - an Omnisend survey found that 31% of Americans have a side hustle, and 73% are motivated by financial need. However, Whop reports that 50% of side hustlers cite time management as their biggest hurdle. It can be challenging to balance the demands of a full-time job with the time and effort required to run a side hustle - all without burning out.
TikTok unveiled what it's calling "well-being missions" in a post detailing steps it's taking to help users improve their digital well-being, including an affirmational journal, a soothing sound generator, and guided breathing exercises.

Four missions are available: Sleep hours: To earn this badge, you'll need to stay off TikTok at night or meditate during sleep hours.
Working as a digital nomad sounds like a sweet deal. You mostly get to set your own hours (depends on the kind of remote work, really), which typically lets you work from anywhere in the world. Want to see the sunny beaches of Southern California or explore New England during the fall? You're your own boss, so go right ahead. As long as you have one of the many essential accessories for digital nomads and a stable internet connection, that is.
