  • Office workers - Has anyone here convinced their boss to let them install a Linux distro on their work desktop?

    Jump

  • I don't work at an office, but at a bicycle workshop. We just have the one computer at the frontdesk to register sales and new memberships (we're a non-profit association). So the PC doesn't have TPM 2.0 so I convinced the board to install linux on it, since it's a security risk to keep using Windows after it's going to be discontinued. But that wasn't easy ! Especially because one of the board member is an Apple fanboy and keep saying things like: "If it's free, it's probably not very good". :[

  • What 1500W can do to a bike chain

    Jump

  • Only 1000km damn… I know chains don't last as long on e-bikes but still, that broke quite quickly! I remember some advice from a bike shopkeeper: cheeper chains can be more durable since high-end chains are made for pros who look for lightweight parts above all (but these are less durable as a consequence).

  • Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd. And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one's the worst country. Anyway, with how things are going, the US are going to be as bad as Russia in a few years.

  • Anna Politkovskaya (Novaya Gazeta), Stanislav Markelov (Novaya Gazeta), Anastasia Baburova (Novaya Gazeta) and Natalia Estemirova (Memorial) would like to have a word with you… No wait they can't, caused they were all killed.

    My point is democraties like the US are clearly flawed, but not to the point of assassinating their own citizens. But no point in debating with you, you're probably an agent hired by Moscow to spread its propaganda.

    Jump

  • The comparison is a bit hasty, since in the US your not accused of being a "foreign agent" and imprisoned when you reveal war crimes committed by the army (search about Memorial NGO).

  • how is linux for gamers?

  • The only reason I kept Windows on my PC was to play League with a friend occasionally. So at some point I removed Windows completely to free disk space and I told my friend he could install Dota 2 if he wants to keep playing with me :D

    Would wine from back in ancient times and civilizations have been dogshit compared to a basic marketable wine produced by modern viniculture?

    Jump

  • I think I heard once that Romans mixed wine with salted water. So taht could be a bit of an aquired taste. Or a banger alcoholic soy sauce…

  • And yet innumerable Lemmy users are willing to tolerate fascist ghouls like this, because they claim to be 'leftist'

    Jump

  • I wouldn't call anyone defending Stalin and denying Holodomor a leftist. If you look closely, there's nothing socialist about Stalin's regime.

  • Damn must have been the early 2000's when I was a kid. I probably went to flash games websites most of the time.

  • What browser are you using?

    Jump

  • The google as default firefox engine was a shit move from mozilla in terms of etfics and financial independance. Then again, if the google money goes away, their existence is at risk, isn't it?

  • Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis.

    Jump

  • More than 600 car-related injuries in Chicago!? I mean, I'm not as surprised by the shooting victims since I heard gang violence was bad there. But 600 car crashes seems a lot for half a year (don't get me wrong, a lot of work should be done about gun violence too).

  • Proprietary software's inferiorities, such as this control center downgrade, remind me of that one Dhar Mann video where kids enjoy homemade food and insult what the "award winning pastry chef" made.

    Jump

  • Oh I thought Waydroid was a VM. But still, it's a lot more recent than wine. So is it really fully compatible with most apps?

  • A program like Wine, but to run Android apps on a Linux machine would be great. It would use a lot less battery power than a virtual machine.

  • Makes me remember, wasn't there a well respected dev who, out of the blue, decided to add a vulnerability in a linux package last year?
