  • A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen

  • Nonviolent but measures like unions and strikes do very much work. I just say that annectotaly but there is probably some study about it.

    They are probably considered "violent" or maybe only "agggrssive" behaviour by the capitalist class, because it threatens their income/revenue. Thats enough to make them change.

    Completly overthrowing a whole economic system might work but is a big ask. Everyday people can do little things. Like unionizing, standing up to the boss or maybe even stand together with the boss and against the next higher-up.

  • Most important question.

    Also try to transition her slowly from outlook -> Thunderbird and chrome -> firefox and so on. Then after a few weeks at least do the switch to linux mint. Then the shock of all the new things is smaller

  • I think they mean that it not only isnt tied to a specific plattform (PC, Mobile, Laptops,...) but also it isnt tied to a platform (like Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook or Signal). This also means that there are different clients for that protocol

  • Yea, I also thought about tipping points. But I think that the white buildings/streets or even painted surface could never make up for the lost (white) ice surface

  • Its not the stupidest of all proposal, as locally it warms up less (white reflects more, darker colors absorb more of the solar energy). I dont know for certain but it might be a reason that people in hot countries sometimes paint their houses white.

    Globally it wont make a difference of course. It isnt a mitigation/prevention of climate change but rather a adaption. Like stretching a sun-sail over the porch.

    In both cases it makes more sense to choose biological solutions if possible (grass instead of white asphalt, a tree instead of a sun sail).

  • That is fascinating to me as well:

    Movies > Big filesizes > many public trackers and seeders

    Music > smaller and easier to store/play > less public trackers, only slsk is really viable

    Books > even smaller > there are some websites like anna and a lot of small ones

    But then: Sheet music > even smaller files > almost impossible to pirate

    It is fascinating to me that there isnt one clear spectum along filesize.

    I guess it has to do with the target audience and demand.

  • The situation in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 is out of control. A driver killed a one-year-old girl in Calgary. A few hours later, another driver killed a nine-year-old girl near Edmonton.

  • Pickup trucks are not required for tossing stuff in the back. Because Europeans do need to transport stuff, from piles if dirt to wooden kitchens which need to be installed. And all of it most often doesnt happen with a pickup truck.

    Mercedes Sprinter Vans

    Or this kind of car for loading open air ("Pritschenwagen" in german)

    All with normal grill-hight and probably a lower truckbed than pickup trucks

  • Klassiker...

    In Laden, herumschauen, nachfragen, die Grösste anprobieren: zu kurz oder Hosenbund zu gross, Angestellte geht im Lager schauen, "leider in dieser Grösse keine mehr an Lager, wir könnten für sie eine bestellen, dann könnten sie sie nächste Woche abholen" JA DANN KANN ICH SIE MIR AUCH DIREKT SELBER NACH HAUSE BESTELLEN DANKE nächster Laden, ...

  • Ebenfalls lang und dünn hier. Für einen Anlass brauchte ich schöne edle Kleidung und besichtigte mehrere "Grosse Grössen" Geschäfte. Stellte sich heraus, dass die meisten davon "Gross" als Euphemismus für "Dick" verwenden...

    In einem wurde ich fündig. (Dimertrius in Zürich) Sie haben Hosen mit Hosenbeinen, die mir gut 40cm zu lange waren. Für mich ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. Man wählt praktisch den Hosenbund und Röhren-Durchmesser. Die Länge wird bei allen nachgekürzt.

    Alles in allem eher teuer natürlich aber kann ich jedem empfehlen, der sonst Mühe hat, Hosen/Oberteile/Anzüge zu finden.

    Und sonst Jeans einfach online, mit Bund- und Beinlängen geht das ganz gut.

  • [Unpopular Opinion] There are too many distros. The diverse distro-landscape hindering Linux adoption.

    跳过

  • True! And for an enthusiast who wants to spend only a few days on finding a distro and setteling into it, like me, its nice to have only three (big) DEs, which you can test and choose in one day and then are set for the further journey.

    Now "bundle" a distro to each DE and a newbie would have that experience for the whole distro-finding-experience

  • I have to interject: It is not like bread, as it is a bigger commitment (as I dont want to distrohop for longer than a week) and also it is more complex to create an OS than to create a bread (so more manpower is needed). Choice is a good thing. But too much choice can be bad. Imagine someone is directing a "linux curious" person to distrowatch. There the newbie will be overwhelmed. Maybe not and he just clicks on a distro and tries it. Probably a bad idea as the change from his previous (corporate) OS is a big change already, now the newbie uses a distro which probably doesnt fit his needs.

    My case is that, like with the fediverse, the different options hinder the wider adoption, as potential new users have a problem with it during onboarding. Which is a difficult time as is. Even for someone who is switching from Windows to MacOS, two polished and widely adopted OSes, they are gonna have a hard time. Now add the choice from dozens of distros and the very vocal linux community and the switch is impossible for many potential new linux-users.

    I'd like to say that I am not brainwashed, I am currently using Debian+KDE in Dualboot wuth Windows and Linux Mint for the selfhosting server. (Yes I know, this is the wrong distro for a server, it was my first contact with linux so I just picked the most polpular among newbies. Which is kind of the point of the whole thread.)

  • No corporate control, not less options.

    There need to be a handful of distros with less settings, being more "fixed".

    I personally like to being able to set everything how I like it.

    But it just isnt necessary to have THAT many actively developed distros. If devs could drop 1/4 of the distros and redirect their efforts on bigger projects, those would profit massively.

  • Thanks, you condensed my thoughts very well. The point with flatpak is very important. I used discovery by kde but it seemed not as polished as it should be. Not to say that there are better "stores". I hope the inclusion of flatpak/flathub into distros/DEs gets improved significantly and gets adapted wider.
