Phew, thankfully everyone follows appropriate procedures and doesn’t just roll out beta updates to production in their systems.

Right?

Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn’t be the first back door that’s live in Linux systems.

Immediately noticed even though the packages have been out for over a month?

Easily could have stolen a ton of information in that month.

Sure. But it’s a two way street. Climate change is important but you don’t realistically solve it by stopping everything coal powered tomorrow. You have to gradually introduce it.

I don’t know if it’s a younger generation thing, but they’re not patient and demand change now when it’s just not realistic. Change is glacially slow. Voting in something that’s not ideal is better than voting in something completely opposite.

The more you allow that left or moderate side to win, the more the axis changes towards it, which is still a win if you’re left/moderate as it moves it away from the right. It’s this last bit some people don’t understand.

Why is the onus on the left to vote left to promote left values? Because that’s how voting works?

I’m not sure how to answer that question. Reword it as “Why is the onus on the right to elect a right-wing candidate?” maybe to see.

So many dumb Americans here not voting. Cutting off your legs so you can hold the moral high ground. Moronic.

Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you’re tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?

Yep exactly this. The user friendliness and likeliness it just works is much higher for Windows.

If it doesn’t work for Linux I’ve found it also will generally take much longer to figure out and fix.

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.

I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

Well the simple reason is you can get stuck in certain world views or ideas which are wrong and hurt others.

In most cases you’re fine, like talking about your favourite TV shows or whatever. But it’s also easy to get stuck in a view like visiting your country’s instance and it turns out it’s a bit radicalised against immigrants, or certain places where you end up blaming everything on women and the “woke movement”.

In a lesser way it can get you stuck in toxic ideas (e.g., PC/Playstation/Windows/Xbox/Linux is better than the other one and you are dumb if you disagree!).

Just depends on the community at end of day, but the more echoey chamber it is, the more likely you’ll end up with those sorts of us VS them world views that are a bit blind and horribly biased.

That’s generally not a good thing…

That means it’s more likely to be an echo chamber or just bots auto posting…

You want a lot of diversity - within specific groups sure, the same names are fine but across groups that’s a bad sign.

You were probably using the wrong version of utorrent.

I think you need something like 1.6. No adware, no malware, just works fast and easy.

Yes, anyone over 30 is super old omg lol. I can’t even imagine how horrible it must be!

Exactly my point though.

If you’re using the default settings for anything you’re not going to have as good a time as spending a few minutes removing the crap.

It’s the same whether it’s Windows, Linux, Apple or whatever - the default is generally crap/annoying and you need to configure it.

If you use Gmail badly this it what happens.

I feel like this is more on the user than on the app. Haven’t ever seen anything like this.

I disagree. You don’t seem to understand piracy at all.

If you’re going to pirate games, you’ll find a way. I have spent hours sometimes figuring out how to do so, and it’s almost part of the fun.

The only reason I’d look at buying a Steam deck in future is to play pirated games. If I absolutely love a game and developer then sure, I’d buy it if I have the cash but otherwise you may as well pirate it.

The only reason I don’t pirate games IS because of locked down hardware like Playstation Etc. Otherwise, I have pretty much never bought a game on PC.

Good on Facebook! Right? That’s what you’re saying no?
