It’s a hard call at end of day. If you want it to all be privacy respecting and open source and decentralised then you’re almost guaranteeing you won’t make money from it.

The alternative is ad based software that’s free which is also garbage.

Hard to find the balance between the two, can’t think of many examples if any that actually work besides just making a paid product that’s very good and hope it’s better enough than the rest to be successful. But even then you likely will have to cross lines because you’re just relying on viral luck at that stage.

Phew, thankfully everyone follows appropriate procedures and doesn’t just roll out beta updates to production in their systems.

Right?

Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn’t be the first back door that’s live in Linux systems.

Immediately noticed even though the packages have been out for over a month?

Easily could have stolen a ton of information in that month.

Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you’re tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?

Yep exactly this. The user friendliness and likeliness it just works is much higher for Windows.

If it doesn’t work for Linux I’ve found it also will generally take much longer to figure out and fix.

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.

I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

Yeah the rest made sense but that bit. Games can be extremely challenging much more so than any other mental activity you’ll end up doing.

I just checked the store and there’s a bunch of pdf editors you can DL for Android? What is the issue?

You have a variety of options usually. Different brands, and then ones that have no milk, ones that are milky etc.

You also usually have the choice of having things cold or hot as well.

Well the simple reason is you can get stuck in certain world views or ideas which are wrong and hurt others.

In most cases you’re fine, like talking about your favourite TV shows or whatever. But it’s also easy to get stuck in a view like visiting your country’s instance and it turns out it’s a bit radicalised against immigrants, or certain places where you end up blaming everything on women and the “woke movement”.

In a lesser way it can get you stuck in toxic ideas (e.g., PC/Playstation/Windows/Xbox/Linux is better than the other one and you are dumb if you disagree!).

Just depends on the community at end of day, but the more echoey chamber it is, the more likely you’ll end up with those sorts of us VS them world views that are a bit blind and horribly biased.

Australia here, nothing similar here.

But this is like basically every street has a set of these vending machines. They’re everywhere.

Can’t believe noone has mentioned the hot beverage vending machines.

Its so fucking nice to spend $1-$1.50 and just get some hot tea or coffee right there without issue. And they’re everywhere so you can pretty much rely on them.

So much more convenient than having to go to a coffee shop so you can pay $5 for the same thing, and the vending machine version still tastes great.

That’s generally not a good thing…

That means it’s more likely to be an echo chamber or just bots auto posting…

You want a lot of diversity - within specific groups sure, the same names are fine but across groups that’s a bad sign.

Whether you are happy or not depends very much on the gender of the anaesthetist here.

Uhh. I’m not sure I understand the meme… I’m not trying to create a war here, but Windows has very clearly won has it not? It makes way more money, has much higher user share, has much higher recognition Etc. … I’m not sure this meme makes much sense.

Yes, but I wouldn’t say lemmy has quality at the moment.

If I look at the most popular posts for today a lot of them are just dumb memes…

Jesus lol.

This is probably true for big games, but I wouldn’t get angry at any small developer for not supporting Linux. It’s just not worth it/still such a small base.
