I think it’s safe to say that the Lemmy user base trends a bit more “computer nerd” than the general public. So we generally have more people that already use Linux, and more people that could reasonably benefit from switching.
Plus of course moving off of windows is one of the most effective ways to show your displeasure with Microsoft.
CaNceL cUlTuRe!!
You aren’t supposed to do that, assuming you’re the one pumping gas. Gas stations are a bad place to generate static electricity, lol.
And with steer by wire like in the cybertruck, they could fully disable it.
The “try to convert” thing sounds like the marketing & sales division of the church. People can’t join your church if they don’t even know about it.
And both being annoying, of course.
So what you’re saying is Lemmy needs lobbyists!
“How dare somebody have a reaction to a piece of art”
I thought that too, but then I saw their weapons are literally sticks, lol. There’s a fancy one with a rock tied to the end.
The bald guy looks to have some armor though. But armor (or sword) hammered out by a blacksmith is still quite different than a welded tube frame with all straight lines and right angles.
Something being fiction is no reason to throw expectations and consistency out the window.
It’s not that there is a wheelchair in a fantasy setting. It’s that the setting is typical high fantasy that may have magic but is otherwise very low tech. But then you have this out of place modern wheelchair made from a steel tube frame.
It’s like if the bard and the paladin disagree any some fact, then the paladin put down his shield and mace just to pull out his fucking iPhone to show that he was right all along.
Yep, there were times when I was having a good time rooting and even overclocking my Android phone. Automating stuff with good old Tasker too.
But like I said, the “app launching appliance” life is all food for me now.
Plus I have an Apple Watch and like it, and my entire family uses iPhones. So whatever ecosystem inertia/lock-in could be there, is there.
I wonder if fusion will ever be competitive with photovoltaic at this rate. There will still be decades for solar prices to drop.
They are good products, even if they don’t have the nerdy cool factor. Each day I’m working on old C/C++ code in Linux, so having my phone be a reliable appliance instead of yet another computer to fuck around with is totally fine for me. I liked my past Android phones too though.
No carrier bloatware and very long software support.
You know, I was just thinking that salt water is definitely what my last PC build was missing.
American here, and I am totally OK with a tiny bit of extra latency if people & companies want to move their servers to some place in Europe that actually respects freedom and people.
Though I suspect that if you’re a US company with servers located abroad, they will still make the law apply to you since you control it.
YouTube music will not let you put a “for kids” marked song on a playlist! It kind of sucks for putting my KID’s favorite goofy songs on my KID’s playlist. The kid’s playlist that is composed entirely of content not marked “for kids” because that’s all that is possible.
I’m in a company that uses Microsoft stuff, but I use a lot of fedora and Linux mint in VMs. The latter is based off Ubuntu at least!
It’s actually kind of nice to be able to save the state of my VM since forced restarts are so infrequent.
I think the spirit of the comic remains intact even if the math and assumptions are easily attacked.
I didn’t mean for that to rhyme.
