- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 week ago:
hardware compatibility is only one part of the problem. the other is binary compatibility. vendors are not going to ship binaries for a range of linux distributions and versions. vendors are not going to ship source code. and if they do, it’s going to be a pain to get it to compile (e.g. trying to compile epson scan 2 on arch right now and grappling with a boost version that is too new).

not yet. you can develop on windows without paying microsoft. windows is not subscription software.

it’s clear now you’re not interested in a discussion. you see what you want to see and what fits the myth you want so desperately to believe. i see no point in talking to you further.

and then there’s GOG which has thousands of older games, drm free.

thin client machines that you have to lease with a cloud subscription and which are locked down to the intended purpose only. basically the death of generic computing. delevoper machines will be tied down devel kits.

you do not sound like having a lot of knowledge about hamas and its islamist allies stated goals. about two thirds of victims in the attack on 7th october were civilians. striking military targets was evidently not the intent.
crimes do not “cancel each other out” as you suggest. they feed on each other in a spiral of violence.
contrary to your believe that israel is an “extremist state” i presented you evidence that it has a healthy democratic counter culture.
show me a parliamentarian democracy where leftist demonstrations are not targeted by police brutality and i show you a state that does not exist.

the russian administration had a huge influence in syria when assad was still in power. with russian military at it’s doorstep and allowing israel to strike hezbollah without repercussions, there was of course an incentive to be on good terms with russia.
israel is a working democracy that acts as a safe space for jews. before the genocide committed by hamas on 7th oct 2023, there were widespread protests against the right-wing government. it is not an “extremist jewish” state. as in similar cases (9/11 attack on twin towers), civil society closed ranks after the attacks, which severely weakened the protests.

What mrdown wrote, especially in this context, is a thinly veiled threat of murder. That is censorship, not a “consequence”.
- Comment on Anti-Palestinian Billionaires Can Now Control What TikTok Users See 1 week ago:
oh look, censorship, an authoritarian classic. not sure if you’re like that because stalinist, islamist or both, though.

strange stance for ai use. creating placeholders for production use only seems like a dull and tedious job to me that should have been automatized yesterday.

- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
It’s relevant because we’re talking about Framework. Product quality factors into evaluating the company besides their poloitical ties.

most xenophobic nationalists want a strong leader that “cleans up” ASAP with deportations. while technically not the same, it’s IMO pretty damn close.

Omarchy is DHH’s distro. I would say that’s even worse.

I don’t care if they’re selling computers to fascist psychos.
Depends. If “Framework” became a nazi dog whistle like Lonsdale was a while ago, that alone would be a reason for me to not buy any Framework products.

I use KDE on Arch and it’s fast. Never understood the hyprland hype, especially because i work with a dynamic multi monitor setup and the static monitor setup on hyprland sucks ass.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
from what i’ve seen online, the build quality of framework laptops is garbage as well. i’d rather get a (linux) laptop with solid build quality and use it a bit longer instead of having to replace the monitor hinges every year or so.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
whataboutism. just because steam is fucking this up doesn’t mean floss projects should get a free pass. i think it’s even worse if community projects are asleep at the wheel on this, commercial projects like steam at least have an excuse of looking at a loss of sales.

That opens a wizard for me. On the second page, after scrolling all the way down, I can select “No thanks”. That’s what I was referring to. I was wondering if that’s enough.

To keep using walled gardens like Youtube, Reddit or Discord in an effort to share and preserve knowledge is just a losing proposition. The sooner we stop using them, the less of a headache it will be when the companies behind these gardens decide it’s finally time to cash out and start to charge for access.
The knowledge you grow in a walled garden doesn’t belong to you.
