I didn’t imply a mass exodus, I’m just telling you that ‘linux has issues’ isn’t a good argument when both W10 and W11 also have issues of the same grade and that it is, in some nerd circles, pushing people into Linux because they’d rather deal with Linux problems than Windows problems.
I’m not reading all that- anyway
I switched to full-time Linux this year. One of my programmer friends, whom I never expected to embrace Linux, switched to full-time Linux and is not going back. Our libraries have switched to Linux on all user-facing computers. 2 of my e-friends have approached me about Linux. Another friend is, despite not being a computer nerd, going to switch because Windows is forcing him to- and that’s my point. It’s not that Linux doesn’t have deep flaws inherent to its development model, it’s that those flaws are now less significant than those of Windows. Nobody likes Windows 11 and it’s pushing people off.
I don’t get it. You think laws will stop existing if we stop paying some fat cats for sitting on some copyrights?
I also don’t care what I’m allowed to do, I don’t believe in copyrights, so you can’t really argue in favor of it to me.
Jeg er ligeglad med hvor meget jeg ikke har råd til at bo i min lejlighed. Pointen er at jeg ikke har råd til at bo i min lejlighed!
That’s semantics. They’re charging it because they’re afraid you’re copying copy-protected materials, which is piracy. It’s a piracy tax.
Hero!
Here’s some of my moss https://p.drkt.eu/2023/IMG_2954.jpg
is not about paying for pirate copies, but it’s a compensation for the loss due to the right to a private copy.
Sounds an awful lot like a piracy tax… We pay this tax on any device which can store bits, it’s not just some storage mediums. If you buy a phone, you’re paying this tax to a “”“non-profit”“” org called CopyDan whose sole job is to make sure a few select fat cat copyright holders get paid. If I don’t break their copyright, I still have to pay as if I did. Therefore, it’s a piracy tax.
Actually it might be blankmedieafgiften, that sounds far more correct. I was having trouble finding the exact term and ChatGPT was very confident (I know…) when I eventually gave up and asked it.
They support him for different reasons, and half of those people are unbelievably dumb.
I don’t have to worry about any of this because I live in Denmark! It is not possible for me to pirate stuff because it implies that I did not pay, which I did as there is a special piracy tax!
We call it ‘blankmedieafgiften’.
we call it ‘kulturarvsafgiften’ and apparently you can’t google it which I’m not gonna imply any conspiracies about but yknow
Denmark, too…
Capitalism is the worst economic system except for all the ones it sabotaged and suppressed.
Where is the moss!? You promised us more moss!
I can’t afford rent
such as TerraMaster
The reputable brand that quietly updated my device in the middle of the night and reset my password to a randomly generated one, locking me out of the device? That brand? The brand that runs their OS off of a USB stick inside the device so it’s always a ticking time bomb that might just stop working randomly? That one?
I’ve turned down many self-hosted options due to the complexity of the setup and maintenance.
Do you agree with this?
Yes. If I have to spend an hour reading your documentation just to find out how to run the damn thing, I’m not going to run it.
I hate docker with a passion because it seems like the people who develop on it forego writing documentation because docker “just works” except when it doesn’t.
I archived one of my github repos the other day because someone requested I add docker support. It’s a project I made specifically to not use docker…
Previously Tuta (I don’t recommend them, they’re going down a path slow enshittification)
Now Disroot, which lets you use a custom domain with a catchall for a one time payment. https://disroot.org/en/perks
Is that something you have experience with or are you just making up scenarios to pose as arguments?
Because I’ve been doing this for years and I don’t have this issue. You could also just preemptively auto-trash anything that goes to those very common emails, but I don’t and it’s not an issue.
I say this as a fellow cyclist so please don’t misunderstand me:
If your bike blinks, I hate you. You’re not more visible, because I have to look away or feel like I’m being attacked by an industrial grade strobe-light. Your lights are too bright, it’s pointed directly into my eyes. The blinking only irritates my eyes further.
If you want to be visible, use an excessive amount of retroreflective tape because that only makes you bright to the source emitter and it makes you far brighter than your 3000 lumen rear LEDs do.
