If we want to avoid giving into age verification we’ll still need to be selective about the Linux. But we have a chart.

I will gladly lose a California market. Users can use a VPN anyway.


This is why I’m going to argue for pure Arch or Artix. Ultimately, what a lot of these distros bring to the table is artwork. But they bite off a lot more than artwork when doing so. And in time they can start to suck at that administration.
It’s not very hard to set up your system with a vanilla DE and adjust it into something good. You don’t need to get fancy. And to the extent someone else’s art work can be good and accelerate getting to a nice system, there are other ways to distribute that.
You should want your distro to be 95% administration and 5% art because in the long run that’s whats going to keep your system stable and avoid future headaches. But some artists are overly ambitious and envision creating an entire version of an operating system, including the parts they aren’t passionate about. And some people buy in on this premise and install these projects. …instead of just releasing dot files.
For it to go well requires that both the leadership and the contributors are passionate about all of the parts and passionate about them forever. Not very likely. If you want a distro that is administered well, get a distro where administration is all they do, and then get your artwork as a separate selection.
Now you can get your art from artists who put 95% of their effort into art. And your package stability by people who put 95% of their effort into package stability.
Everyone has romantic feelings toward a system that is integrated. But what they should realize is that integrated and modular are opposites. And modular is what they should want, with effective roll separation.
If they fork Majaro that is good. If when they fork it they scope down to just distribute a dot file set, and maybe create their own easy installer for Arch that isn’t a seperate whole distro, that is better.


I feel like no one got the hint I was talking about the World Trade Center. What I’m saying is Al Quida basically already did what he is arguing for. I’m calling him an unaware al quida sympathizer. Advocating for terrorism is bad. Worse if you are actually arguing for 9/11. Even worse if you know so little that you don’t even realize that’s what you are doing.


Android apps do solve a lot of UI problems a that are unique to the phone interface. If only Linux could run APKs. Oh wait, it can. Linux can run anything.


Terrorists tend to act across borders and so they are interested mostly in global corporations. If only there was one single building that housed all of them at the same time. Some buildings where they all engaged in trade around the world, centralized.
Then that would make your scheme easy.


What we need is a good linux phone that is affordable, has hardware that isn’t slow, and isn’t over sold to an annual pre-order.
Sadly, if the first two are true, the third one becomes an issue.
What we need is a large company to see that is a sign of huge pent-up demand. Apparently, HP and Dell are both talking about switching to Linux as their default OS for desktops. Once all the desktop manufacturers find themselves in the business of selling hardware with Linux on it, either mobile manufacturers will copy, like Samsung, or the desktop folks decide to make their product smaller.
What everyone has wanted from the beginning was a desktop in their pocket. The amount of time that no one has produced that despite major demand, and the amount of development that has gone into building any other stack, just feels like willful suppression at this point.
Is there some government somewhere telling large-scale manufacturers that they can’t build something as free and open as a desktop that isn’t at least the size of a laptop? Because it actually takes less technology to make something that’s open than something that is closed. And there is just as much appeal for the consumer to not restrict them.
Why can’t people see my relationship with my AI girlfriend as cute? I think it’s cute.


I mean I could plug my shit. https://goatmatrix.net/
It’s not super active on the nsfw front but I’m open to it. You’ve just got to hit “hidden from front” on nsfw content.
Any sub exists. Just submit to any topic.
Hopefully that plug isn’t unwelcome, but you really can use it.


Apparently you didn’t get the sarcasm.


People on Lemmy don’t understand sarcasm because they have brain damage.


Windows is already claiming this.


The text actually required them to not violate anti-discrimination laws.


IBM did. This is one reason why we need separation of business and government.


They are currently trying to oust the some 5 people in Congress that actually spoke up. Thomas Massie has three separate billionaires funding campaigns against him in Kentucky. If they have their way it really will be 100% of congress that does what Israel wants lockstep, up to and including sanctioning genocide.
IDK, the whole situation reminds me of Fallout and VaultTech. We don’t really have representation. If you want to know if someone actually represents you just ask them where they stand on Israel.


You store your credit card in your computer? If browser credit card management isn’t secure enough to avoid that attack you shouldn’t be using it.


They are so short sighted to. Ad blocker help advertizers. It allows sites to fill up sites with ads to the point of being unusable while not losing 100% of traffic. That keeps these site relevant enough that old people who don’t have ad blockers end up there too when they follow links or google ranks a site high because it has traffic.
If they got rid of all ad block somehow they would have to decrease the ads because I wouldn’t use the web. Or online communities would be way more conscious of the ad level of the things they link to.
What was right wing about him?
Then come to a site with almost no moderation that still values mature discourse. https://submatrix.net/
The mistake of most low-moderation sites is to couple themselves with a reckless culture. But we all get to choose our culture. We can all simply choose to be mature people.
Can’t have AI moderation if there isn’t much moderation to begin with. And look, the proof is there. If we simply downvote immature people and upvote mature people, it actually works.
