Every alternative is worse.

Grew up with programming, Windows, and Visual Studio. That was fine, back then. After Microsoft released Windows 8 I knew this was so stupid and would only get stupider, that I said my next computer will have Linux. Never looked back. It’s not as good as Windows 7 unless you have really specific needs. It’s miles better than Windows 11.

I want this too, so I can know which awesome companies should host my stuff.

That sounds like exactly the same thing Reddit does

That’s a separate concern. I will point out it’s the same way we treat alcohol, and that direct messaging with friends apps aren’t banned.

I’m on a lemmy instance dedicated to copyright infringement. Its already been around for years. You have to get quite big to get the government’s intention. Also the site Myrient was just doing endless copyright infringement for years and shut down because it ran out of money, not because the government caught it.

How does Lemmy decide what to display on my front page? I’m not too familiar with that.

It’s not abstinence culture though?

If the only offence was providing social media things wouldn’t have gotten this far. There’s plenty of evidence Meta has intentionally optimized their system to damage mental health to increase profit.

So is the subreddit

he means Russia because that is the country that was banned from the Linux kernel mailing list

the UK, USA, France, Israel and NATO were not banned from the Linux kernel mailing list

the topic of this discussion is people getting banned from the Linux kernel mailing list

hope this helps

There is a compatibility issue too. Every Windows 11 is almost identical, enough for software to run, but Linux encompasses a lot of different systems. Valve makes it work on Ubuntu and then if you’re not using Ubuntu, makes it your problem to go the rest of the way (usually pretty easy) which is a fair tradeoff but also not the plug-and-play you get with Windows. And don’t even mention X11 versus Wayland.

It’s usually not malicious. Hardware is that way by default, and it takes effort to make it not be that way, and then someone still has to write the driver.

Technically all the info you need is inside the Windows driver, it’s just a bit difficult to get at. It’s on us to git gud so we won’t need the cooperation of the hardware companies.

ALSA works better than Pulse Audio. Fite me irl

All the time but then I remember it’s my fault because it’s open source and I am not fixing it either.

Sorry, I couldn’t read this because of the Vercel Security Checkpoint, so I have downvoted it.

They can be, but not peacefully.

If you own it, you can copy it. No other way.

The chips you need are only sold to Nintendo. You would have to make an emulator box.

They think we already know this
