Marginally better UI means nothing to me if the distro can’t handle basic features like audio through HDMI, therefore I’ll choose pretty much any distro over mint.

From my personal experience, ubuntu has been way easier (more of “it just works”) than linux mint. What’s the reason behind people preferring and recommending mint? Is it only the UI?

Which crayon color has the best flavor?

That’s a lot of space for something extremely situational. Did you go on the trip to play video games or to do some actual stuff in the real world?

The video of two people playing the steam deck with two steam controllers in a fast food joint. Completely natural scenario! Just casually bringing your steam deck and two steam controllers to a fast food joint. Feels like they want to copy the nintendo switch advertisements, but it’s not comparable at all since the switch is smaller and has the joycons which you can use as make-do controllers for e.g. public places.

Worst headline ever, probably intentionally

“I would not trust any open-source code or product which I did not personally review or scan,” he said. “Integrating code into your product without knowing its state of quality or exposure to vulnerabilities is dangerous to say the least.

Does this mean he would never use proprietary software? You cannot scan the code if it’s not available.

What if humans are actually remotely controlled by small alien ants?

Not using a laptop because it can distract you is like shrinking your stomach because you can’t stop eating. Oh, wait…

I would expect tiktokers to be more ignorant about 4chan, but I see an impressing amount of people on Lemmy acting like 4chan is personally maintained and financed by Hitler.

“You have to respect the democratic process, otherwise you’re literally a terrorist!”

So they made an intentionally bad chess agent? That also already exists.

So Windows 10 LTSC isn’t affected by this?

No need for evidence. The idea of anyone being able to claim anything about a person without proof is inherently flawed. Are you saying that the app has some magical feature which forces everyone to tell the truth? No disgruntled ex can make up things about their previous partner? I would love to see you prove that.

Would you believe me if I told you some systems are used for other things than what’s intended?

Arguing that tea was for “telling on predatory dudes” is like saying backdooring encryption is to catch people spreading CP.

Sounds good to me! With no mention of having to limit our internet usage.

You don’t have the power to decarbonize all electricity or to create and enforce laws to reduce the rate of e-waste. Until this changes, you have the power to limit your bandwidth usage, which is something that would result in less e-waste and less energy usage (and inherently less carbon emissions since all electricity isn’t decarbonized). You’re essentially saying “the paper says you can fix the problem in the future so I don’t give a fuck about the problem now”, which is not very bright.

And if reducing bandwidth waste really were that important, it would have go both ways anyway, with the providers optimising their content (probably forced to do so by regulations in some way).

My god. This might be the most naive thing I’ve ever read. This would be like saying “if carbon emissions were really that bad, oil and coal would be illegal”. Guess what? The climate will be (and has already been) irreversibly damaged if we don’t drastically reduce the amount of carbon fuel being used and no regulations have successfully come close to getting the necessary drastic reduction. Turns out everything that’s bad doesn’t magically get solved by regulations, especially when rich companies which rely on e.g. carbon fuel and bandwidth have major influence over politics due to their massive amount of resources.

Saying 4channers suck is very similar to saying Lemmy users suck. Depends on board and instance respectively.

The payment companies which gave way were American.

Truly impressive how little america cares about its citizens.
