  Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.

  I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.

  Ok, so I get you are still trying to make the analogy work, but this is like getting mad that your coffee shop sucks, deciding to go to the local car dealership for the free coffee instead, and then complaining that they keep trying to sell you cars.

  This analogy is breaking down rapidly, that was my point. lol.

  even though you’re not there for service

  I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?

  I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years that this stuff is malware. I’m not the only one. No one listens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grr Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking love running updates on garuda. Watching the little ASCII pacmans gobbling up the progress bar… And it doesn’t do it unless I tell it to so I never have the windows experience of “I just wanna play a game,oh look, 10 minutes of updates instead. Guess I’ll go make a sandwich…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New mobile features are sh*t these days⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows 10 on day 1 was still ‘calling home’ and recommending candy crush in the start menu as I recall. I had to dig into the registry to gut the windows store from it entirely to get windows 10 to act how i want an OS to act. Windows 7 was the last good windows IMO.

  This one in particular looks like AI crap. Which seems like what we get when we use Windows so maybe that’s genius?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly how we know that they are actively trying to exclude Linux users and it never has been “too much development effort with too little market share”. They won’t tick the check box in EAC to allow use in Linux. They actively aim to exclude the open-source community because they are big corporations and would rather a different big corporation hold some of the power they don’t have yet instead of the “consumer”.

  So are we committing fraud if we turn on Spotify and leave it playing in an empty, sound-proof room??

  That contractual agreement has nothing to do with the user or artist, its between advertisers and the platform. That can’t be what they got this guy for.

  Yes. Unfortunately. “a virus? How did I get that? What’s an anti-virus? You must be wrong, I just do a little bit of web browsing and downloading music.” (this was in the windows xp days that I’m specifically flashing back to)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like they fucked up with the first one because the poster already looked like a sequel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most users are fucking idiots and will continue to raw-dog the internet while visiting the most malicious sites possible.

  “And then you can start imagining what would happen if companies start abusing this, like Microsoft and/or Apple paying to make sure only their OSes load by default.”

  I’m convinced that this is definitely the end goal for Microsoft, especially with the windows 11 TPM requirement. We are in the early stages of their plan to mold the PC ecosystem to be more like mobile. This is the biggest reason I decided to move to Linux - it’s now or never in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Game Studios developers form 'wall to wall' union that includes artists, designers, and programmers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, they probably have that one guy still there from the days creation engine was made that is required to be on staff for any future games to fix whatever archaic code they break. Get him on board with the union and Bethesda is probably held by the short hairs to do whatever they say.

  Not an expert but I’ve been very happy with my synology wifi router, plenty of range for my house. I’ve had good luck in the past with ubiquiti access points for an application that needs to cover more square footage.

  So it’s taking some of the air out of the stream, slowing it down, and putting it back in the stream… How does this not affect the performance?

  Then just use the clip-ons all the time and not pay for mediocre sunglasses? I’m not a fan, I’ve tried them and hated them. Super slow to go back to clear and unreliable. I don’t want my lenses deciding when I need tinted lenses or not when I can just carry around either clip-ons or a complete second pair of prescription sunglasses. IMO Transitions are a bad solution to the problem.

  its usage cannot be denied or restricted

  lol wat? I don’t know of a single local establishment that accepts Monero (or any other crypto) as payment (not saying it doesn’t exist, but it if so they are exceedingly rare). Seems pretty restricted to me. They also don’t seem to accept caps, eddies, gold, or spetims oddly enough.
