I love Linux, but I don’t think that Linux users should promote it like it’s a free Windows, because it isn’t. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn’t go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

They’re all back online now because of articles like this.

Consensus doesn’t require everyone in the world to agree it just requires the majority to agree

An overwhelming majority, yes. Do you a have a survey or study that demonstrates this?

clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it’s confusing would not have been made.

This makes no sense. Anybody can make any comment. Just because I say a thing doesn’t mean that the majority agrees with me.

It isn’t a consensus, though. If it were, nobody would be debating it.

It seems reasonable to me that you could admire somebody without thinking that they’re a friend or family. That’s what being a fan is. Some of the more extreme fans are going to want to know intimate details about the object of their admiration. I don’t see how it’s different from any other obsessive hobbyist.

In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

“I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”

Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

I don’t understand your comment, especially the last sentence. Who thinks that celebrities are their friends?

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.

It’s not about pulling the plug. It’s about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.

If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it’s going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.

Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they’ve never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.

Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.

Now, how are they different?

“The flood of crap” isn’t what people should be worried about. They should be worried about Meta embracing, extending, and extinguishing the Fediverse. There’s a good article about this here. People are worried about the wrong things and don’t realize what’s at stake.

Aren’t we all supposed to be dead by now from the poisonous vaccine? This has got to be the slowest-working poison I’ve ever seen.

It’s possible to be pro-Palestine and anti-Hamas.

Another cool thing is Ventoy. Install it to a thumb drive with a bunch of different distro ISOs, and you try out all kinds of flavors of Linux with installing them.

How so?

graffito*

One graffito, two graffiti.

No, they haven’t. What do you suggest changing?

Does it actually help with pickpockets though?

I’ve never had it stolen, so…perhaps?

I feel like if anything, it advertises its location

Where else would it be? Don’t right-handed people store it in their right front pocket? And since most people are right-handed…you’re going to be correct most the time.

with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

That would be a helluva strong yank, though, and it would certainly be much more difficult than just lifting the wallet out. Nothing is going to be 100% secure. It’s about making the theft as difficult as possible.

Could somebody set an instance up on a nes

I think that in order to run Lemmy you’d need at least a PlayStation.

You’re god-damned right.
