Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you're reading this.

  • Yeah cm0002 has some thing where they want to make Lemmy more confusing to newcomers by creating doubt and drama by railing against some instances.

  • delete this

  • Thanks for laying it out Cowbee. I got as far as thinking "The key difference is that the authority in a Socialist state is derived from a robust democracy" before deciding it wasn't worth it lmao

  • generally ended up with fascist leadership.

    Huh? I think you're confusing authoritarianism and fascism, you may not like either - but they are different things.

  • Depends on what kind of leftist.

    I don't think most like USA style gun culture, nor are they against regulated gun ownership.

    In most cases they become more anti-gun in post-revolutionary society but are more pro-gun when faced with the threat of living under fascist rule or wanting to one day organize a revolution.

  • Usually because they include by default some proprietary software. Usually that is firmware for processors or graphics. Or they by default include repositories with non-free software. Also media codecs are a common one too.

    The FSF takes a pretty extremist approach to FOSS. Which isn't necessarily bad.

  • Fuck em. "Oh but it's a free Internet people can participate wherever they want"

    Yeah you have a right to be a total dickwad and scream in people's faces at the grocery store, don't be surprised when everyone thinks you're an ass though. They don't want your input. That. Simple.

  • A segregated internet would be more like if they had a whole version of Lemmy for all topics but only for women, and then didn't also participate in the other one.

    This is just one community calm the hell down they can have their space.

  • Lmao a huge number of people use it for work still

  • Sure, but for say the average laptop buyer nowadays not really.

  • It is - that's just how URLs in non-latin fonts look unfortunately. URLs, (and a ton of tech infrastructure) is hugely English/latin script biased.

    The URL is Japanese.

  • Locked down would probably be a plus for enterprise.

    But honestly I've never got that argument. In what way is macOS more locked down than Windows? In the hardware that it will run on yes. But for the average user it seems fairly similar on the being "locked down" front.

  • I have a Roborock that supposedly has Matter support (over WiFi not Thread, but still) and integrates into my Home assistant fairly well.

    I wonder if it would break without Internet.

  • It'll be fine for most games you'd want to run on lower power stuff like the Frame/Deck.

  • For Linux, you find out if there is a package. If not you go to a website and see if there is an app image or zip file. You then need to know where to place the downloaded file, how to get it running (making it executable), knowing how to chmod and chown (it is better to have to do it like in Linux, but it is an extra step), and how to add it to your desktop (there is no right+click and add to desktop/create shortcut option in Arch based distros like there is on Windows). If there is a service component you may need to go into command line and systemctl to enable it.

    I don't think I've ever followed that workflow to be honest. Except for when doing something niche and way above and beyond something a casual user would do.

    Open the software center, search what you want. Click install. Done. I use the terminal to the same effect but that's by preference. Installing packages as you described is not at all recommended... They won't update with the system.

    The "add to desktop" thing really depends on your Desktop Environment too. GNOME not really, KDE and most others yeah.

  • I don't think the learning curve is any harder than someone who's learning Windows for the first time.

    It's just different. Honestly in some ways simpler IMO. But if you were a life long Mac user and touched Windows for the first time today you'd probably have a rougher time I think.

  • Bypassing the battery?

  • I've seen that on some vintage software.

  • Bruh

  • I had Microsoft Copilot rewrite this in the style of a LinkedIn in post for you:

    Yeah but why would you do that. Nobody wants that.

  • I mean the average dork not cool people like you (if you're being truthful)

    Persons of interest to governments should always be diligent.
