Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

That picture generated by Dall-E looks like it came straight out of Wall-E.

If these were all stacked laptops, stacked on top of each other, they would form a stack 600 km above the Moon.

Ummm… what??

Assuming 3 cm thick laptop x 240 mil = 7,200 km. Moon is on average 380,000 km away. Even 30 cm thick laptops (lol) would only get you to 72,000 km.

People in underprivileged communities would struggle to even turn a computer on properly.

Christ are you fucking serious? That’s the most privileged, classist, ignorant comment I’ve seen in a while.

XD that would still only get you half way to the moon!

No, those computers can go to underprivileged communities so ppl can have access to word processor, programming, web dev, etc. They would be running Linux and be secure and functional.

Which OS do you have on that?

Come on man, let them impress us with their technical knowledge and pedantry.

For real? Even just cp?

Thanks, I edited my response.

their description of how to access files on block devices was … wrong.

What was wrong about it?

Ok, thanks.

I know where you’re coming from.

The best way to be happy is to be kind. Seriously, just try it and come to your own conclusion. It works way better than trying to extract satisfaction from life, which actually just creates more dissatisfaction.

bartolomeo,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

What’s the reason? Honest question.

bartolomeo,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

Does that mean you can’t copy or rsync a file from one to the other?

@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

Where do you see those?

Thanks Wolf Link. The icon I was referring to is attached to my post (a red person with a red slash across it) and it is located between the user’s avatar and the user name. Your wolf is located to the right of your username, so the icon I’m referring to is on the left of the username.

bartolomeo,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

No, not the avatar. I added an example of the icon to my post.

Thanks for the suggestion! Is it possible to cross-post? I don’t see the option here.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Nice! Is that a web browser or an app that you’re using? It doesn’t look like that for me on Jerboa.

That’s a robot head icon, right? It would be nice to see a list of all the icons and their meaning.

Banned from the server where their comment with that icon appears?

I’m still trying to grasp federation; sorry if it’s a stupid question.

It’s great that these people are receiving treatment, not only because it’s the right thing to do but also so that the world gets an accurate idea of how much damage is actually being done and what kind of resources will be needed to heal from this war and occupation.

The trauma experienced by hundreds of thousands of children and their parents in Gaza will also have long-term debilitating effects, psychiatrists and psychologists have warned, particularly as there are no therapeutic facilities left. Few of Gaza’s hospitals are functioning any more, even for operating on the severely injured.

There are also thousands of examples in the West Bank, especially with warrantless entries to Palestinian homes (most often done at night to instill more fear and suffering from sleep deprivation onto the Palestinians) and indefinite incarceration without charge, sometimes subject to torture.
