The article is mostly about his impact on climate change efforts. You can certainly ignore it if you want, because there's a lot of anxiety to be had over it.
He most definitely would screw up the little things we are trying to do, but I'm not convinced what we're doing is nearly enough, so I suspect it won't have the impact this article claims.
WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I'm in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.
WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.
The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that's not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough
It isn't censorship if you can just turn it off and see everything. It's a warning for people who want to browse at work but not view content that can get them in trouble
Just turn it off and ignore it if it doesn't apply to you. The rest of us want the tag to be used for its purpose.
Which you can easily turn off if you don't browse Lemmy at work.
Just because you don't use the tag for its intended purpose doesn't mean everyone doesn't. The tag has a clear purpose, denoted by what it stands for. Most people with adult jobs understand its purpose. Don't ruin the tag's purpose for the rest of us by devaluing it
An NSFW tag isn't censorship, it's a warning for people at WORK. if you don't use it for what it's for, that's not working people problems, that's your fault.
The tag is for warning people browsing at work not to click... Using it to prevent someone from clicking on a post that would be unacceptable to read at the workplace is exactly what it's for
It's not like it's censorship, it's just a warning tag.
People at work don't (shouldn't) click on NSFW-tagged content. If it draws your eye even more, then I assume you don't browse from work.
How would it defeat the purpose to tag content that most workplaces would not be okay with? If you don't mind seeing the content, then the tag might entice you. People at work will recognize it and not click
The NSFW tag is part of the mechanism to curate the feed.
I'm not sure why people get offended by people wanting to use social media but not wanting to view content that can get them fired. If the content doesn't bother you, then you shouldn't filter NSFW content. It's not like the NSFW tag is censoring the content and preventing you from seeing it if you click it.
For people with jobs, why not make it easier to filter the things that companies don't like? It doesn't affect you any.
You're arguing opinions and trying to convince someone as if they are facts. There's plenty to criticize about how AI is used, but it is a valuable tool for those that use it.
The amount of value it provides is very subjective, and even if you don't find it useful, many others do. You might as well be trying to argue that you don't like photography because it doesn't provide the same experience of drawings and paintings. You wouldn't be wrong to feel that way, but you would be wrong to tell someone else that they need to feel the way you do.
Reading these comments I feel fortunate to work for a company where this is all uncommon.
There is arguably some drama when layoffs happen or when there are organizational changes, but it's pretty tame.
All I can think of is I work for a large company in a relatively educated field (I'm a senior software developer for a technology company) in a very corporate environment. Most of my peers are just looking to be professional and foster a productive team dynamic, so they can keep a healthy balance between work and their families
The browser solves the problem of not having any open API. Each platform wants to handle things in its own way, and the browser is the perfect way to do that. Each service, including both the open and the proprietary ones, can present the feed in the way that they decide is right. The browser already does handle rudimentary account management via form auto fill, as well as a unified notification system.
But as for a unified feed... I think the best example is the issues with that come from Lemmy/Mastodon integration. Mastodon posts have a different mentality than Lemmy posts do, not to mention with structure of responses. I just don't think it does us any favors to have them share the same feed. Now we have replies that have a clear structure of who they are responding to, but Mastodon users come in adding the user tag into the comment, which is messy at best, and bordering obnoxious at worst.
But I get it, I'm not the audience you're looking to cater to. I don't particularly understand the value of RSS readers at all, because I just go directly to the services I want to see the feeds from. Hell, I don't even use bookmarks. I type in the web address for my services every time
I'm shocked at what an unpopular thought this is. Like... If you go out in public, there's a very real risk that people in public will see you. If that's a concern you have, then you should take steps to not be seen in public. To me, that would mean not making my presence obvious when visiting a bar.
Camera or not, if people are looking for you, they will find ways to look for you in public places. You should always assume you're being watched, because you probably already are.
