onlinepersona, to piracy in The "Steamboat Willie" debacle or: Why IP does us more harm than good

Evolutions are copyrighted? Wat? So if they give Mickey a red nose, that’s copyrighted just because they changed the color? That makes no sense at all.

onlinepersona, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Yeah, very sorry that this app is Windows only, would love to switch to Mac

What are windows mainers doing in a linux community? Shoo, we don’t want Edge or Bing or popup ads in our games.

onlinepersona, to linux in Imagine Linux on an Arm SoC that benchmark better than Apple's M2 Max!

Whatever you want to convince yourself of, bud. Never buying hardware from Apple ever.

onlinepersona, to privacy in In case you missed it: Fossify (A fork of Simple Mobile Tools)

(Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an Israeli adware company)

As per usual 🙄

onlinepersona, to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

I wish there were an alternative in a sane programming language that I could actually contribute to. For some reason PHP is extremely sparse in its logging and errors mostly only pop up on the frontend. Having to debug errors after an update and following some guide to edit a file in the live env that sets a debugging variable, puts the system in maintenance mode and stores additional state in the DB is scary.

Plus PHP is so friggin slow. Nextcloud takes noticeable time to load nearly anything. Even instances hosted by pros that only host nextcloud are just slow.

onlinepersona, to privacy in Unblocking User Freedom: the right to use adblockers - FSFE

In the end, I don’t think it matters. People care about accessing what’s used most and if they have to watch ads to do so, they will. If “no ads” starts to have a competitive advantage because people are sick and tired of them, then maybe ads will start to die. We’re a long way from that though.

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in Two moods

Fuck NVIDIA

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in Hey, have you ever heard of Pop!_OS?

Get on the NixOS train, loser. Arch is too easy. /s

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

I’m not faulting linux, I’m faulting the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Linux is their main operating system and they haven’t picked a good WIFI hardware module for years. Dunno if the new raspberrypi 4 is better, but I’m not paying to find out.

onlinepersona, to linux in Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

Curious if it’ll be opensource and mobile linux distro. If Amazon gets into the mobile linux game, the mobile phone market might change radically.

onlinepersona, to piracy in PSA: Don't torrent over TOR

Depends. It’s definitely smaller than TOR because people don’t know of it. It’s slower, but if you don’t need things on demand, have a seedbox or some way to torrent 24/7, things are quite acceptable.

onlinepersona, to linuxmemes in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

I’m actually curious what BSD provides in comparison to Linux. What does it add, do better, or worse?

The only thing I know is that they introduced some stuff way before linux did, but that’s simply due to the age. BSD jails for example have been around for a long time. Buy beyond that, it was never apparent to me why linux took off and BSD didn’t.

onlinepersona, to piracy in Piracy even when I can get it legally

I concur. Streaming isn’t an option for everybody. Paid services removing the option to download thus force all those people who can’t stream, to pirate. They create the problem and provide no legal solution 🤷
