Sure beats literally no protection which is what most laptops have. I have a switch and sometimes forget it's off and my webcam/mic definitely don't work, on any OS.

Open-source hardware to the rescue! So you CAN verify it.

System76 has some machines with hardware camera killswitches too. Big fan of Framework's open-source hardware and ~~firmware~~ microcontroller firmware though.

I've had the same experience too. Last I checked, Kdenlive doesn't have GPU rendering either. DaVinci resolve slaps though. And you can get a paid copy. Get outta here with that subscription nonsense, Adobe.

To be fair Windows had something like one bug per line of code in the mid 2010s. But there isn't the transparency of a public bugtracker. And good luck shouting into the void if you ever find one.

Idk, I've been using LibreOffice for the better part of a decade personally and I use M$ office all the time at work. I haven't had any problems.

You're giving me VBA flashbacks. The worst language I've ever programmed in.

KDE connect is pretty great right now. I use it as a remote all the time and even wirelessly transfer files between devicss.

Libertarian is the opposite of authoritarian on the political compass. It's a shame that it's had a phase shift in meaning and most people assume it's right-wing libtertarianism, i.e. turbo capitalism with no rules/regulations.

I think they're referring to right-wing libertarians specifically.

YSK: lemmy.ml is managed by tankies, and lead lemmy developer is a tankie

𝗧𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 *𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑢𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 @slrpnk.net 2y ago

That's a good question. To be honest with you, I've come across critiques of tankies on .ml as well as tankie nonsense. I've also come across some progressive discussion as well as USA apologism on .world.

So in my personal experience (may differ from others based on what communities we frequent) I haven't experienced so much tankie or American apologist content that I've felt the need to leave either community.

I agree with your sentiment that .world is left of reddit - as is Lemmy in general.

What I have been seeing is some users on .world coming across any tankies and wanting to defederate while seeing some amounts of pro-US imperialism on .world but ignoring it since (imo) we're desensitised to it especially coming from reddit.

I do not find that tankies define the communities I frequent on .ml any more than pro-US imperialism defines .world.

You can be left-leaning while also not a fan of neoliberalism. :)

Not OP, but you're saying they're authoritatian when it's patently a decentralized, anti-authoritarian and leaderless movement. This shows a fundamental lack of understanding about what anti-fascists are.

No offence, but it sounds like your views are largely shaped by more right-leaning media's depictions of antifa.

I take issue with both the authoritarian left and authoritarian right: being an apologist for Soviet Russia as well as being an apologist for the USA is not OK in my opinion.

I find it futile to take a position on which is worse because that just gives space to be an apologist for one that's "less bad". I see this happening in this thread right now.
