i mean, car crashes very much also often lead to death

i don’t think speed cameras are a good way to prevent car crashes, but straight up acting like car crashes aren’t a problem worth mitigating is extremely silly

i’m saying this because the nazis were greatly inspired by the usa’s genocide of Indigenous people for the holocaust, that’s why i wrote “partially” (as opposed to the Gaza genocide, where the usa’s responsibility is much more direct)

obviously I’m not denying the agency and responsibility of germany in the holocaust

it’s even (at least partially) responsible for the other two!

have had my phone for close to 5 years now. it could use a battery replacement, but other than that it’s perfectly fine, so im gonna keep it for as long as i can

and if that makes tim cook cry… so be it lol

oh, hello stallman! fancy seeing you here

lemme guess

erhm i’ll let you know that the soviet onion killed six hundred million bajillion stalinnion people so ☝️🤓

toxic working conditions and sexual harassment (this article also mentions them doing sloppy reviewing that led to misleading videos, which is bad but imo nowhere near as bad as the rest, i kinda wish the article didn’t focus so much on it)

i also remember linus saying he’d refuse to let his workers unionize, saying it would “make him feel like a bad boss”

and he’s also said that floatplane (their video streaming app) would let anyone join no matter their politics, up to and including nazis, because “free speech”

i use it to open my apps menu, same as it did in windows, as well as a modifier key for desktop-level stuff… same as it did in windows lol

tho, i added one shortcut with it which i think is just neat: meta+Z to go to sleep. it’s funny, memorable, easy to access yet hard to press accidentally. tbh i think it should become standard

that’s not even a new thing…

my mother had a windows 7 laptop for work, she upgraded it to windows 10 (microsoft did a similar nagging back then) and not only did it become atrociously slow, a bunch of hardware drivers also stopped working, including pretty important stuff like USB

unfortunately linux wouldn’t have been an option cause the software she needed was (and still is) windows only

oh you’re right, it’s gone now. i didn’t even notice

tbh i only remember it working for non-Plasma apps, weirdly enough. stuff like Dolphin or Konsole wouldn’t work with it, but non-Plasma apps (that got decorated with the Plasma titlebar) would support it. maybe that’s why they removed it?

i get your point but wow i do not want to live in a world where the government can explicitly decide who can have kids and who can’t

do you ever stop to think about it sometimes?

how worked up you are because people use an operating system you don’t like. imagine doing that with other things.

“ugh this shirt is kinda itchy” “well that’s your own damn fault for using this bad shirt!!! next time switch to a better shirt you useless fuck!”

anyone who needs microsoft office. or the adobe suite. or visual studio. or autoCAD. or…

there’s a lot of professional creation software that’s not on linux. and yes, we have alternatives, and they’re cool, but they don’t work for everyone.

ok so a couple things for the people in this thread:

1. sometimes, when people complain, they don’t want advice. they just want to vent their frustration. that’s ok. your advice is just gonna come off as annoying, especially
2. if they’ve heard it a billion times already. and trust me, if you’re on the fediverse and complain about windows or macos, you’ve heard “just use linux lol” before.
3. holy shit stop doing victim blaming. this goes for everything btw. like. stop. “lol your fault for using windows” shut up. if you’re already doing victim blaming for trivial stuff, i don’t trust you for when much more serious problems arise.

that’s very cool and good job to anyone who managed this, but they’re all either 10 years old, have a bunch of broken essential features, or both… not exactly an iOS replacement

replying with “use Linux” to complaints about iOS is especially funny to me

me omw to install Linux on my iphone

i just wish OSM was more complete… it’s fine for big cities, but when you live in small rural areas it’s practically useless. my village only has its roads mapped, nothing else.

(and yes i know you can edit the map. and that it’s the entire point of OSM. i know that. but it takes a ton of effort, and it’s an ongoing effort because cities change!)

OSM contributors, you are amazing and cherished and your work does not go unappreciated. i just wish there was more of us…

the machine used to manage schedules at the job i had this summer used windows XP

you can, and you should

english has no authority that regulates the language, it’s up to us to do the spelling reforms
