  • China is totally the evil one though!

  • South China Sea? Granted building a military base in another country's waters isn't technically an attack but ... come on.

    Also Tibet. Whether or not it was a legitimate "state" it was definitely an "other nation".

  • Commercializing means sell for profit. If a non-profit were to create a cracked version of Windows 7 with security updates and sell that for $200 an install that'd not count as commercialization. The idea here is that if Netflix took someone else's work and made a bajillion dollars off it they'd need to ask for permission and credit the original author.

    I don't know if something still counts as intellectual property if it can be infringed upon except by for-profit entities.

  • Who wants war with Russia?

    Jump

  • UK and Poland are both European, but the UK has left the European Union and is clearly America's plaything so we can safely exclude them from the category of "Europe", while Poland sent so few troops it became a meme. Most of the European countries who sent troops did so only after a unanimous UN security council resolution, supported by both Russia and China.

    Oh and Norway apparently committed military equipment, so there's that.

    As for opposition, my country's prime minister has been couped for defying American foreign policy, and the leading opposition are deeply-ingrained America-sycophants. Practically speaking it's unlikely that any opposition would succeed and even if it the most it would do is cause a mild inconvenience. The issue of Palestine is even more fraught than Iraq because of Epstein.

  • What is this referring to?

  • Who wants war with Russia?

    Jump

  • Europe didn't even participate in the Iraq war, that's a common misconception. It was just the US, UK, Australia, and Poland. And in Poland's case they contributed just 200 troops. Sure just like with Palestine they didn't actively oppose it meaningfully, but the Iraq war was like 90% American, 9% British, 0.5% Australian, and 0.05% Polish.

    Jump

  • It was Biden that goaded Ukraine into flaunting it's NATO ambitions while making it clear multiple times that America would not come to Ukraine's aid. Europe is really being screwed here from both sides, on principle they support democracy and self-determination but they are entirely dependent on the Americans to stand up for that.

  • Bill Gates is a horrible person.

    Jump

  • I'm on the side of abolishing intellectual property, with the caveats that commercializing someone else's work or taking credit for someone else's work should be illegal.

    If there wasn't a profit motive we'd get much less "slop art" and more challenging art made with passion. The slop would also be far less off-putting because at least the slop would be made with love for slop.

  • installing LineageOS is easy, actually

    Jump

  • Second-hand phones.

    Jump

  • That's kinda what I meant by "Microsoft is both". I branded those as under the "effort of paying" (though I probably shouldn't have).

  • Bill Gates is a horrible person.

    Jump

  • Sometimes it's about the effort of paying than the actual cost.

    Of course, with Microsoft it's both.

  • Which stage are you at?

    Jump
    1. Mint
    2. OpenSUSE
    3. Kubuntu
    4. Kubuntu + CachyOS (two computers)
    5. Fedora or OpenSUSE + CachyOS (Distrohop pending but undecided).

  • What would be a valuable thing to have memorized by heart?

    Jump

  • The dimensions of the doorways in my house.

  • I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers

    Jump

  • Nothing weird about enjoying that. I enjoy it too.

    Although I am Autistic so my opinion means nothing here.

  • My Spending on Donations to FOSS is just 1.3%, too low.

    Jump

  • I'm Australian.

    Jump

  • Yeah, as I said I'm open to that. Just gotta figure out how to do it.

  • RIP Windows: Linux GPU gaming benchmarks on Bazzite (Gamers Nexus)

    Jump

  • I use CachyOS and it's been more or less plug and play. Some next fest demos haven't worked (i.e. B.C Piezophile) but whenever that happened I just moved on to a different game and put it in the "later" folder to see if time will fix it.

    Jump

  • Not really, no.

  • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

    Jump

  • I switched and I often mention that online.

    First I was on a laptop with Linux Mint and ran into innumerable issues. Used that for a few years.

    Then I got a new (used) laptop after my CTRL key stopped working (among other things) and tried to dual-boot the pre-installed Windows 11 "just in case" but ended up accidentally corrupting it so gave up and stayed on all Linux for my laptop. My new laptop mostly "just worked" as opposed to my old laptop that didn't even have working bluetooth.

    Then I moved my Desktop to Linux and transferred Windows 10 to the aforementioned laptop with the broken CTRL key. That laptop has been sititng untouched in my closet since I went full Linux in mid-October.

  • Honestly I use Lemmy but just like with Reddit my life would be better without it. So I probably won't donate.
