Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?
Yes but why now exactly? The only reason I see is GitHub but it's not their competitor at all.
Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It's always been private.
Way to go, Smith!
The "right to preserve fertility" is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I'd say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it's a completely different story.
Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don't have.
I suppose it has to do with the widespread belief that admins of an instance can be prosecuted for illegal text and imagery posted by their users.
I highly disagree with that. Admins of commercial platforms technically have higher risks due to higher attention from the government and sometimes more legal restrictions (e. g. gatekeepers). Also the FOSS community is not necessarily known for compliance but rather the opposite. I believe it's more about the personalities of the admins and the nature of the community itself, especially since many of the social platforms in question are less serious of projects than enormous businesses which leads to the increased feel of freedom and confidence amongst the developers and admins (makes them feel like they can be themselves and do whatever they want).
Everything else seems like points I completely agree with.
I think it's because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.
Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.
I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.
I'm all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

Ok so it's basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.
How is it different to runit or openrc?
It's not really complicated. It's called "pushing not ready software to production".
Well I'm glad you haven't experienced it on the platforms you use. I personally did (and it's not just about Lemmy and Mastodon) and saw others reporting it so that's why my opinion is different. Though I agree it's not always the case and some instances/platforms can be better than others.
No like seriously, I get that the admins work for free but FOSS is supposed to be about freedom and making products that everyone can benefit from yet still the bias is simply hilarious sometimes and concerning usually.
For the record, I'm talking about conflicts of different opinions here, not justifying hate speech or extremism. I know there is a major difference between FOSS and Big Data in terms of treatment of troll behavior (with the latter supporting it because it generates engagement), but it is clearly being misunderstood and abused now.
I even think I'd rather recommend proprietary options to others at this point because of mental health risks. Yes, I know that some major platforms are quite heavily biased politically (with X even being accused in supporting fascism) but it's not as bad as being biased in everything imo.
Can't we finally understand that the modern trends in most cultures praise exclusiveness (often cleverly disguised as distorted inclusiveness which sounds impossible but is actually a case and it hurts people's understanding of the latter) and work against it? Or at least we could do it for the FOSS reputation.
On the positive note though, Mastodon that is probably the biggest FOSS social platform seems to be pretty good (though probably a bit too close to the Big Data in terms of troll treatment). Could it be because of the size?
Check hashes for your files - A GUI tool to generate, compare and verify MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, Blake3, CRC32 & Adler32 hashes. - GeopJr/Collision
I think it's just nice to be able to verify a file with a right click instead of opening the terminal and typing the *sum command. Yes, it is technically bloat, but also good for time saving.
What's the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?
I installed Debian at least 3 times and don't remember ever seeing that message.
How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.
The tests I saw reported significantly higher performance on Intel. I'm really bad at searching stuff ngl. But that means Intel has pretty much 0 benefits nowadays so AMD is simply better for regular users and gamers.
Well I personally think having to read documentation ,manually set up sudoers and add repos is worse for the first impression than installing a distro that mostly just works.

Idk much about emacs but some people love it and probably will find it useful. Also the app seems to require a self-hosted backend so don't check it out if you're poor.
🖼️ Image Toolbox is a powerful app for advanced image manipulation. It offers dozens of features, from basic tools like crop and draw to filters, OCR, and a wide range of image processing options -...
Many features are still incomplete and barebones but I think it's good to have it installed, especially for those who share and post photos all the time.
