simple,

This has been the trend for the last decade now. I’ve been avoiding trailers for ages, and many studios like putting straight up spoilers in them. If I’m already interested in a movie I skip trailers completely and just go to watch it.

simple,

It’s a very beginner-friendly distro, similar in goals to Linux Mint but more modern. It’s stable, comes pre-installed with graphics drivers and important apps like Wine, a custom clean version of Gnome or XFCE, and having a lot of UX improvements like explaining what Wine is the first time you open an exe file, and providing popular alternatives for the app you’re trying to install.

There’s nothing brand new about it, it’s just really solid and I do recommend it as people’s first distro.

Dude was schizoposting the other thread and attacking everyone for downvoting him lmao

simple,

Having to go through the process of merging hurts morale and slows performance. Give everyone on your team the right to force push to master.

simple,

Well, at least Jaden Smith isn’t involved.

If you have a normal social life it’s honestly expected that a couple of people will leak your phone number (and contact name). Nothing you can really do about it. Happened to me many times.

Oh neat, I had no idea someone was upgrading Openboard. I thought it was abandoned.

can I be a Free Software advocate but still use non-free software??

I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...

simple,

Assuming this isn’t a troll post, why wouldn’t it be possible? Not everything has an open source alternative that’s nearly as good. I use Linux, I like open source, but I still use Discord and google services and occasionally a bunch of other closed source apps like Steam. Not everything ever made has to be open source.

What’s different about Lemmy compared to other sites? The Palestine/Israel conflict is the main topic point today. Everyone is talking about it everywhere, whether it be Reddit or Twitter. Are you up to date on the news?

simple,

Maybe you’re not subscribed to many places, I see it everywhere in my feeds. For what it’s worth I rarely see it on Lemmy outside of meme and politics communities.

simple,

Because it’s the most recent world event. Were you not seeing constant discussions about Russia/Ukraine when that first started?

simple, (edited )

food safety as well as human trafficking

Wow, that escalated quickly

What is the deal with Palestine and Hamas?

For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I...

and Israel responded (they had a right to) but it’s debatable whether the response was appropriate.

Are you kidding me? Their “response” was bombing ~2 million innocent people out of their homes and telling them that they shouldn’t have been there. Imagine if someone from Japan bombed China, and China’s response was bombing random people in Tokyo.

Their response was absolutely not appropriate unless you love genocide. The situation is not nuanced, people act like it is so they don’t have to take a side.

simple,

Is this any different to LibRedirect?

What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

simple,

Was just about to say, Aliexpress is weirdly known for having all sorts of retro or knockoff consoles. Many of them are really cool, too.

simple,

Never really understood Vanilla OS. Why use this compared to other immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue?

simple,

“but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.”

Wow, that sums up my Linux life pretty well actually

simple,

Last time I tried to mess with Windows partition I tried to expand it to merge free space in my C:\ drive, but I couldn’t do that because Windows put the recovery partition in the middle, with no permission to remove it. Had to jump through a million hoops to get Windows to remove it.

I mean sure, Windows is easier in many ways. Not partition management. Anything but that. What a pain.

It’s a cat and mouse game with Google. Sometimes Piped works, other times it loads only the first minute of the video before hanging forever, and sometimes it doesn’t load at all. Often YouTube makes an updates that breaks it altogether until someone fixes it.

I’ve had the most luck with NewPipe but unfortunately it’s only a mobile app, not a website. Works great though.

simple,

That’s crazy…

simple,

…Memes?

Privacy is not just an illusion; it’s a delusion

Privacy is not just an illusion; it’s a delusion. Things like privacy statements and permission to use cookies are little more than sophisticated propaganda. If you think for a moment the Overlords cannot prepare a dossier on you within minutes that would make your mother faint and your father die of shame, you’re living in...

simple,

Is this a copypasta?

simple,

Block the bots making those posts, there are only around 3 or so that keep spamming. Your feed will feel a lot better after.

simple,

Starting to get suspicious of this todd fellow, he doesn’t sound too spanish to me…
