You know you're on the wrong side of history when you make it illegal to give to those most in need.

Anon wouldn't have gotten anywhere with that argument anyways. If your goal is to make them stop believing then you have to ask questions without seeming like you're leading him to a certain conclusion in any way.

Google Docs is free because they use your data for advertising and AI training.

Your definition for kid is out of date.

China didn't "conquer" anything. They had an agreement that would keep them independent until a certain date and that date passed. So HK now belongs to China, as was agreed.

I was a little misinformed, it turns out HK has belonged to China since 1997, and the recent protests were just because of some policy changes that make China's influence stronger in regards to their ability to extradite people into mainland China.

Hong Kong only recently became part of China. (This was not correct, it became part of China in 1997). I'm sure the protests are fresh in people's minds still. If anywhere would want private phones it would be HK.

You don't need to write more code. It's just that code compiles to more explicit/numerous machine instructions. A difference in architecture is only really relevant if you're writing assembly or something like it.

I don't care about some nobody's opinion on an operating system they don't use.

Lemmy.ca suddenly gets defederated from Lemmy.ml

Of course they're right to call this out, but Canada should really focus on the beam in our own eye. Running water for reserves is the BARE MINIMUM.

Yes but no. Modern dubstep sounds very little like 90s or 2000s dubstep because Skrillex changed the definition of the genre.

I hope they do. The gig economy is unequivocally horrible for everyone that isn't working as an exec at Uber.

Sure.

I could also shoot off both my testicles with an M1911.

Linux isn't a product. You can't think of it like a product. It is simply a piece of software and doesn't care if you use it or not. It's not "competing" with Windows, it's not even playing the same game.

I don't click on these videos ever. I know all the reasons already. I can't change a mind that's already made up either.

Because that's how normal people have a conversation?

I meant what edition, and I mean what I said. Group policy, registry keys, or scripts/programs that remove it ala shut up 10.

With Linux I have ownership over my computer and control of the software. I couldn't use anything else.

What version of Windows are you using, and is it possible you forgot about configuring OneDrive away? This is the default in most versions of 10 and 11.

It's not really her fault. Microsoft pushes people to use their onedrive and pay for a subscription even when people have no clue what it is or what it does. Microsoft is just insanely anti-consumer.

There is no need to use external programs anymore unless you want some kind of special behaviour (like the plugboard that qjackctl gives you). Pipewire has reimplemented Pulseaudio, ALSA, and JACK, which at one point in time were 3 separate projects.

Pipewire emulates all 3 seamlessly. So when you run a program through JACK, pipewire picks it up pretending to be normal JACK. To the program, it looks like you have a standard JACK server, but on the backend, it's running through Pipewire instead. You should get the same low-latency too.

Do make sure you have pipewire-jack or the equivalent package installed.
