Yes, which is exactly why it’s particularly devastating when they receive animosity and hate in exchange.

The mistake people make is thinking there will be a year. It could be “the decade of the Linux desktop”, and by that I mean that Apple and Microsoft have to consider them a legitimate competitor in the space because they have gained sufficient “marketshare” (if you can call it that).

Depends on your personal needs, especially as it pertains to software and peripherals but yeah, absolutely, try a LiveUSB, and make sure it works with yours.

Most of these questions are just way too vague to ever answer properly.

Thank you for proving my point.

I have a Ghost blog for my business. It’ll be in the fedi as soon as they make that available for self-hosters. I’ve also contacted them about posting them to Lemmy, as it seems like a much more fitting platform.

Don’t really want to get too deep into it but its a Facebook community and its relevant to my business and I use the community to promote my business. It’s become a large source of my business. It’s the only reason I can’t delete my Facebook profile.
- Comment on My Thoughts on the Fosstodon Drama | Kev Quirk 1 day ago:
Well I only moderate 1 community and there is a compensation component to it.
But for others, I’m sure they just enjoy having a community. Some of them might also just not care what the naysayers say.

As a moderator myself, it’s a pretty thankless job. It’s a bit like being a politician in that no matter what you do, there are lots of people that are going to hate you.

It’s long past being meaningless at this point.

Linux = Freedom, customizability, usability MacOS = Usability Windows = ???

Sentiment analysis on the conversation you were having?
Among other things, sure. More simply, keyword analysis.
Remember semantically aware models are still fairly new and even they lack the context for a particular field of text.
All of these “models” are useless garbage but it doesn’t stop them from trying to absolutely cram them everywhere they can.
Unnecessary
None of what they do is “necessary”. They could just ask you what your relevant interests are and you could tell them, but they do it anyway. They go to great lengths for any seemingly insignificant amount of data they can get their hands on.

I mean that could be solved as simply as a local transcription service…

It’s a nice thought but even this guy did not continue his Peertube instance. More of a thought experiment.
- Comment on The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube 1 day ago:
That’s weird, I watch it every day and have never had an issue like that.

Like a list of Craigs?

Do you have a list?

If I work from lndia and the server is located in lndia, then neither are bound by EU regulations pertaining to the internet/social media.
That’s precisely my point though. You’re referring to these softwares collectively but they can be deployed by anyone and hosted anywhere, so it’s impossible to answer.

What does “developed and working” even mean? Both are developed using GitHub, which is owned by an American company. Servers are located around the world. Developers are located around the world.
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 3 days ago:
It’s illegal if antitrust action is anticipated
That seems like something that would be difficult to prove.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 3 days ago:
I hardly thing $27.5k could be considered “jacking up the price” but I also don’t appreciate advertising pricing that is dependent on a government incentive that may not even exist when the vehicles are actually delivered.
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 3 days ago:
I’ve always wondered, is this illegal? Like obviously it is if they’ve already been subpoenaed or something.

Not sure what you mean by “centred”. They’re both just software. Some of the developers certainly live there but they’re both open-source projects with contributors from all over the world. And software doesn’t have an originating country.

It’s really not. You can’t account for climate with a single number. That’s why standards exist.

I mean why microfocus on Tesla when this impacts the entire industry?
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 3 days ago:
a little under $27,500
Soooo $27,499?
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 3 days ago:
No, there is no optional touch screen. The one featured in their media is a phone/iPad running the Slate app.

Point me to an electric sedan I can buy for $20k and I will.
