This.

I’m really tired of people letting perfect behaviour the enemy of good in every single online discussion.

I’m very well aware that parental controls aren’t a 100% foolproof protection for my daughters, but that certainly doesn’t make them useless.

Based on that mentality we may as well not ban murder, because some people break the law anyway. We may as well not have vaccines, because no vaccine is 100% effective for all people. It’s so brain-dead.

Which is now owned by Hyundai.

That pronunciation took off because Top Gear was going to record a segment about Dacia before they hit the UK market.

Top Gear did reach out to Dacia and ask how it was pronounced, but Dacia took so long replying to the email that by the time they did, Top Gear had already filmed it saying Day-see-er. It was too late.

And because of the enormous reach of Top Gear at the time, that pronunciation became solidified in people’s minds.

Or at least this was the story told by Richard Porter, the ex Top Gear producer, on his podcast.

Hey now, you’ve got to use something to download Firefox a Linux ISO on a brand new windows install.

Lenovo is about as good as you getting for a mainstream brand, and they are ultimately owned by the CCP so meh.

In addition to being owned by the CCP, they purposely installed rootkits on consumer hardware for intense data gathering, and it ended up getting compromised.

I don’t know how you could possibly look at Gnome and think they’re trying to be the same as every other OS.

They’re seemingly the only one with the balls to move away from the WinUX way of doing things.

One dev without any go-ahead from Gnome did.

And let’s not forget System76 employees, as well as System76 themselves, have done the exact same thing.

I’ve been using Wayland for years (2019), and I’ve not had any problems aside from Discord screen sharing, which was fixed a while back.

That’s on AMD hardware, mind.

Whenever I’ve used X11 since, it’s felt janky and not smooth. Random bugs, tearing, issues with multi monitor, issues with trackpads, etc.

Adjusted for inflation some of them did.

Fedora is IBM.

Sure, Fedora has lots of ties to RedHat, but so?

Ubuntu is Canonical.

Between the two, I know which has done more for Linux and open standards, and I know which is more likely to send your data to Amazon and put ads in your start menu…

I don’t like System76’s past actions with regards to Gnome, or their spreading of misinformation about Gnome, but shitting on Cosmic in response seems just as petty.

If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

Yeah I kind of roll my eyes at it, but I get it. People have to earn a living and feed themselves, and they can’t do that without clicks.

And really, pulling a dumb face on a thumbnail is a hell of a lot more ethical in terms of driving engagement than some headlines you see that are so misleading they may as well be outright lies.

I’m resisting my inner Lemmy user desire to shit on this for its thumbnail, but this is a great video, people should know about this. What Honey did is fucked up.

There’s no forced Gnome 3 (and it’s not been called that for a long time either), because you choose to install it, have the freedom to install anything else you want, and can customise it infinitely if you so choose.

Besides, Gnome is great. Maybe you don’t like it, but it seems odd to say that the way Linus Torvalds uses Linux is the “wrong” way to use Linux.

Huh

Maybe it’s different in other countries, but why would there be a different allowance for tethered/hotspot data?

Surely unlimited means unlimited and it makes no difference whether the ones and zeros go to a phone or something connected to it?

I’ve never had any problems

I’m so glad this was made illegal in the UK.

Probably because one uses slaves in the manufacturing process, and the other has the Elon Musk affiliation and is therefore a nazi car.

This bs is essentially just astrology for men lol

The state of the UK is fine?

Free healthcare, relatively low food prices, growing wages, one of the highest minimum wages on Earth, low income taxes, decent workers rights, low levels of violent crime.

There’s some not great things, like house prices, but as I understand it, that’s an issue in most of the developed world.

Your car radio can’t kill people lmao
