  • Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 days

    Jump

  • As far as I know, it is still reliant on the whims of Google through shenanigans with AOSP, and of course having to use a Pixel.

    Linux offers a more solid and independent foundation, and while it is less polished yet, to me it's the only real way out in the long run.

    Still, GrapheneOS is a big step in the right direction - hope it wouldn't come across as me being against the project.

  • KDE Responds to FUD Over Alleged systemd Mandate

    Jump

  • I contributed money, translations and properly filed bug reports to various open-source projects. But I don't think people who don't shouldn't speak out. Being unhappy with a certain change signals the direction for the devs to make their code better.

    Besides, KDE is no hobby project; it's a nonprofit with full-time workers on a wage. Nonprofits are always kept to a high standard of accountability, and are resilient enough to turn negative feedback into directions for growth. It is in part this feedback that led it to develop the best DE out there.

  • KDE Responds to FUD Over Alleged systemd Mandate

    Jump

  • Not every Linux user casually writes init systems. Not every Linux user is a programmer, even. Even less have competence at promoting their project so that it would be meaningfully adopted.

    "Be the change you want to see" is cool and all, but Linux userbase can have opinions.

  • As someone who relies on systemd, but wants to have alternatives:

    While it is good that other login managers will still be able to start Plasma, making the default new login manager reliant on systemd is bad. It means that non-standard installations of KDE will now require more manual labor to make it work right. And while installing sddm is not big of a hassle, this sets a precedent that can later be expanded, making it a death by a thousand cuts for everything that dares not use systemd in its operation.

  • Hate towards fellow humans is one strategy to divide and conquer us.

    It is counterproductive and plays into the hands of forces that want to exploit us.

    People are way better than you are taught, and it takes some common action to see it.

  • It's one of those "gender war" kind of posts that do nothing to resolve the underlying issues and just stir up drama.

    Lemmy is very reactive to such content, so it's a common instrument to spark wars out of thin air.

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • Not really.

    1. Emission is uncontrollable, which is actually bad as central banks lose control over inflation
    2. Crypto can be easily obscured and moved everywhere, which means bad actors could easily convert their crypto to, say, Monero and move it out without raising alarms
    3. Deflationary crypto heavily disincentivizes any spending, bringing economy to a halt
    4. You can't reverse crypto transactions, which is often necessary

  • What's your opinion on prostitution?

    Jump

  • In my opinion, there are two key could issues with it: societal attitudes and desperation.

    Society clearly discriminates sex workers, especially women, as sex work is associated with promiscuity and little limits. Ex-sexual workers are more likely to be harassed and face unwanted sexualized interactions. They have issues finding a long-term partner and may have to hide their past from everyone.

    Another issue is that many people choose sexual careers not because they want it, but because it's one of the few ways to make money quickly. This experience can be heavily traumatic, not only because of the aforementioned societal attitudes, but because of violation of intimacy and losing agency over own body.

    So, legalization of prostitution is, at best, harm reduction at this stage.

    Important nuance: there absolutely are people who enjoy working in the sex industry. Ideally, healthy incentives and shift in social attitudes would allow them to work in this sphere and others not to. But as things stand, we're very much not there yet.

  • Cows Can Use Tools. Are We Underestimating How Smart They Are?

    Jump

  • I think you should not be allowed to breed someone into existence when you have the date of their murder already in your calendar.

    Well, that's how we differ. All emotionally charged language aside, I'd rather see animals see some life than no life at all.

    Besides, with the way you put it, this looks less and less like a genuine wish to unpack my views and more like an attempt to debate it.

    I believe that we can and should make farming practices better, making a better life for these animals. And I think that, even with the views you have, you will agree it would at least be better than what we currently see.

  • Cows Can Use Tools. Are We Underestimating How Smart They Are?

    Jump

  • Sure!

    First off, it's not that these animals would live otherwise. They can't survive in the wild, the only reason they exist at all at this scale is because there is an economic incentive to keep them - namely, meat, eggs, milk etc. Would you rather have them live a short live or not even be born because their parents died in the wild?

    Second, perfect is the enemy of the good. Most people won't stop eating meat no matter what you tell them, so, regardless of your stance, a push for more ethical farming is beneficial.

  • What we know for certain is that plants don't have centralized decision making place or a nervous system. Their reactions are autonomous on the level of specific tissues.

    They don't feel any pain, either. They can react to damage, but it's just a mechanical automation.

    Plants are not conscious.
