Of course we should. And so should everybody else.
Unfortunately though, it'll take a huge amount of time. These things always do. Anybody who thinks we can do this within even 10 years are kidding themselves.
It is, of course, still worth doing. Second best time to plant a tree is right now, and all that.
We'd best start funding open source, and exploring domestic/trusted country-of-origin alternatives ASAP.
Lenovo is about as good as you getting for a mainstream brand, and they are ultimately owned by the CCP so meh.
In addition to being owned by the CCP, they purposely installed rootkits on consumer hardware for intense data gathering, and it ended up getting compromised.
I hope that as the integration of the now nationalised rail companies continues, this shit gets cut out. It'll probably be a matter of waiting for contracts to expire, though.
Between the two, I know which has done more for Linux and open standards, and I know which is more likely to send your data to Amazon and put ads in your start menu...
I don't like System76's past actions with regards to Gnome, or their spreading of misinformation about Gnome, but shitting on Cosmic in response seems just as petty.
People shouldn't be seeing crypto as a means to not have to pay towards society.
If Joe Bloggs has to pay capital gains for making £50k profit selling shares, it stands to reason he should also pay it if he profits £50k selling whatever shitcoin is trending at the moment.
Yeah I kind of roll my eyes at it, but I get it. People have to earn a living and feed themselves, and they can't do that without clicks.
And really, pulling a dumb face on a thumbnail is a hell of a lot more ethical in terms of driving engagement than some headlines you see that are so misleading they may as well be outright lies.
I'm resisting my inner Lemmy user desire to shit on this for its thumbnail, but this is a great video, people should know about this. What Honey did is fucked up.
Debian has ancient packages. Frankly, it's not the best suited for gaming, given how late performance optimisations come. Personally I'd like to have driver updates quite promptly.
If you're going to use Debian for gaming, you should probably use the Steam Flatpak.
Similar to Trump's in rhetoric, but without the massive advantage that the US has in that countries trying to separate from them would undergo an economic catastrophe.
Of course we should. And so should everybody else.
