  • Alexei Navalny: Putin critic dies after 'feeling unwell' and 'losing consciousness'

  • Because he very likely has been. Putin has a long history of people "mysteriously" dying. if it happens once in a blue moon, it's a conspiracy theory. But it happens so damn often that it's practically undeniable.

  • Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

  • This is gonna cause more harm than good. The reason people think it's techy is because it is. I would recommend linux to my grandma and someone who loves tech. The middleground runs into a lot of issues for doing anything beyond basic computer stuff.

    This post gives me the vibe of someone desperately trying to get people to buy the cryptocurrency they're invested in. Particularly the part where only the good is mentioned and the bad is omitted.

    Some linux people are pretty elitist though, and it's not helping the cause. but in the same way, i dont think pretending that it's the greatest thing since sliced tea is much better.

  • TIL about Earl Silverman, a domestic abuse survivor who founded a shelter for men. It was denied funding from the government and he was ridiculed. The shelter went bankrupt and he died by suicide

  • New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

    Jump

  • Yeah, well, linux is great, but people seem to rarely give the full disclaimer. So people end up disappointed, go back to windows and end up thinking you need to be hackerman to be able to use it. Or they do end up learning everything, think they're hackerman and tell everyone in the world how linux is just sooo much better and easier because theyve been using it since 1969 or whatever.

    My view: Your grandma could comfortably work on linux. It's when you need stuff beyond the most basic aoftware that there's a much steeper learning curve than windows. You fuck up, your system implodes. Once you're balls deep into computers, lets say software development, linux becomes easier and more useful again. Its that middle group of average users who have the hardest time.

  • Yeah no, generally you just copypaste the software website's instructions. Many programs can be installed through the app store (or equivalent install commands) but a lot of aoftware you just gotta copypaste the code. Many also just provide an inataller.The meme about linux software being much easier to install is true in some cases, but mostly bullshit. even if its just sudo apt install vlc you generally still want to check the website to make sure its the best way, or you end ip with an out of date version.

    Updating software on linux is better pretty much automatic without annoying popups most of the time though.
