  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

  • Their packages are consistently named differently than their Ubuntu/Debian counterpart

    I agree with all your points, but this one has way more to do with Debian being a bunch of weirdos about how packages are packaged. Its really more of a Debian demerit than anything since sometimes their packaging practices can be somewhat hostile to projects not directly associated with Debian, especially since the Debian community can have a certain "Our way is the only right way" attitude. That said, the Debian packaging standards can make it easier as a developer to experiment with creating a software package to interact with an existing package. Like there's a reason to do it that I can support and I wish Debian packagers would more often say "we package things like this so people can experiment" instead of "Everyone else does packaging wrong and our way is the only way"

  • Its not a good noob distro. Its a test bed development distro. There are going to be things in Fedora that are broken on account of those things being in development. I believe there's a rolling release now which improves the lack of long term releases, but for a long time trying to auto upgrade between point releases was a fast track to the very worst time of your life.

    Then there's the question of whether or not its association with Redhat and IBM makes it a safe choice long term given that they've gone full hostile. I just don't see the benefit to going with Fedora as a noob instead of something designed for noobs like LMDE

  • REMINDER: These market share figures are self reported based on browser user agents. For over a decade now, Firefox requires you to opt into this reporting. Its true that Firefox has been slipping in market share, and that things can be rather gloomy, but they're not as doomed as its widely reported. The big driver of declining market share for Firefox these days is CTOs telling their engineering directors to not check Firefox compatibility because they perceive it as wasted time for 6.6% of people. The easiest way to combat Google Chrome's hegemony is to show friends and family that actually most of the internet works on Firefox despite what you've been told, and that also Firefox isn't somehow outdated

  • That and Disney decided they wanted to break (sorry. Let me use the business terms. "Disrupt") the market by having a vertical integration of streaming platform and production company. The thing is, it did great for the in the short term, but may have harmed them long term. Meanwhile everyone else is now chasing the model that may actually be losing Disney money because short term greed is the only driver in our economy

  • Yuuup. This blog post is the exact sentiment I see from people with postgraduate degrees in the field of machine learning. The current, public facing, machine learning AI implementations are various forms of theft, grift, and exploitation. They exist as the new testaments to violence of the neocolonial era

    What do you think about adults that are still virgin (never had sex) do you see them as losers?

  • So. You don't need fixed. You're fine. You're going through life and you'll figure out what works for you as you go.

    That said, it does kinda seem like you have a misconception about what therapy is. Its not about making you fit in with the rest of the world. Its about helping you accept yourself, appreciate yourself, and love yourself for who you are. I won't tell you to try it since you so specifically said you didn't want people saying that, but I hope someone else reading this finds something to connect with on a journey of self love and self acceptance

  • Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to sat this:

    Peacock Sucks Ass

    NBC / Universal were one of the first movers in streaming with Seeso. Did they learn lessons from Seeso about how to run a good streaming service? No they abandoned it almost immediately basically saying "this whole streaming thing is just a fad, anyway"

    The results? Now its hard to watch those old (genuinely excellent) Seeso shows, and NBC / Universal has managed to make itself late to the streaming party when they were a first actor. And the service itself? Ass. Total cheeks. Major butt. Absolute balloon knot. It always has technical issues AND scanning within an episode is hard because it doesn't do it in chunks, it acts like a slider in constant motion.

    Conclusion: don't look at Peacock as the idiot child of the streaming landscape. View it as the logical conclusion to media companies' corporate greed. They want you to pay money for a service that sucks, that's chock full of ads (oh! That's another thing. Where do you get off showing me three minutes of ads, Peacock, who do you think you are?), and doesn't even work decently right while a lot of these UX problems have been solved for over two decades (DVD scanning is easy and fine).

  • Pornhub to leave five more states over age-verification laws

    Jump

  • PornHub is a monopoly. They own xnxx, redtube, xhamster, and several production companies such as brazzers. Their categorization system has also had some ranging impacts on actresses' ability to get work after they turn 22. I highly recommend listening to The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson.

    ALSO so we're clear, I'm not a fan of this legislation because its dumb as fuck and doesn't help anyone, least of all sex workers. When people lose easy access to porn it usually results in WORSE conditions for sex workers because suddenly there's more demand in places without safety infrastructure.

  • The world's only coal-to-nuclear reactor plant just broke ground in Wyoming

    Jump

  • Wyoming is investing heavily in wind even with the understanding that current turbine designs ultimately cost money to repair and operate as opposed to being a solution that pays for itself. The conversion of a coal plant to nuclear is part of a long term strategy to reduce environmental impact. They're taking a long view approach that solar and wind can't in the short term do what they need it to do but that continued use of coal, at all, even just for the short term, is untenable. Meanwhile, Wyoming is ALSO investing in research on using nuclear byproducts to generate electricity. I have a lot of complaints about Wyoming and how chill they are with the alt-right but I have to commend them that their energy strategy for their state basically reflects what we all need to be doing

  • I view the bigger issue as Meta is hostile towards humanity's privacy and freedom, and Mastodon leadership view Meta joining the Fediverse as an unqualified win. Meanwhile, I don't think Meta is interested in ActivityPub as a protocol to make Instagram Threads more appealing, I think they're overall much more interested in what data the can gain, and sell, analyzing the interactions between their own user pool and the rest of the fediverse that user pool interacts with.
