It would be nice if it was possible to simply go to a website, check off on the stuff you want and then get a full package.
I liked the idea of AV Linux, because it comes in a bundle of stuff that I need, but it also comes with a lot stuff that I don’t need, and I’m not sure the desktop is my choice. It also didn’t really work at the time I tried it.(Some years ago).
So… if I, a stupid user, could simply go to a website, check mark at the desktop, check off which office package, music apps, browser, etc.etc. and then get a download of that in one go where it’s all set-up and works, it would be a lot easier than having to go through the process of installing the OS and then installing/removing apps, and then making it work…
Like, let’s say I want a PC just for music creation, I should be able to download the the OS with the DAW of my choice, all the VSTis and potentially also the most common free sound banks. In one file.
If I wanted an office PC, I should be able to get the OS, the office suite of choice and all the misc. PDF tools, email client and whatnot of choice. All in one go.
Windows and macOS sort of came with everything before, but these days they’re just as annoying to set up as any Linux distribution. Linux as a whole could take advantage of that situation by offering a prepackaged but custom installation.
Of course it would also help if someone made a Linux installer for windows, so users didn’t have to use windows to create a bootable USB. I think this is the step that normal users hesitate on. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it ought to be possible from software to partion the disc and install dual boot or something.
An odd one to start with. The first nine are free, look for Cube Escape collection. There’s a narrative that runs through and will make the other entries make more sense.
This is wrong, silencing is not right. We live in a free society, and if they are shiti organic like the rest of us, then they should be entitled to express their opinion... they start doing genocide apologizing which where that convo ends every single time.
I’m not saying they should be immediately silenced, but they should be reported. The moderators can then look at their post history and decide whether to ban based on instance/community rules.
Hopefully, we pick decent enough admins and mods that we’ll generally do the latter. But the former can be really annoying as well when it involves denying other facts.
I can't tell if ml tankies are a foreign threat actors tbh
They seem to engage but it is pretty easy to test limits of what they will discuss. They will revert back to copy pasting some poorly sourced bullshit about USSR great 🤡
They don't spam it, so I am assuming real people sitting in a weird ideological box.
If they take Russian money to do thisz they'd hould be banned
We recently had a thread about some alt right clown taking russian money for their "work"
Other than the political misinformation, dangerous comments must be silenced, like ones recommending we drink bleach to heal ourselves… just an example. Free speech is not an open invitation to lie, misinform, incite wanton violence etc… The limit to free speech is that line beyond which we cause harm.
Lol. My TV is overrun with zionist propaganda. Politicians are completely bought and sold by the zionist cult. Our “public” radio and television completely supports an ongoing genocide.
And they’re going to tell me that some “guerrilla media campaign” is the problem?!? I haven’t seen it at all. The phone call is coming from inside the house, y’all.
This point specifically is getting ignored. I feel like this kind of blatant ignorance is starting to make Lemmy a lost cause, because its gotten worse the past few weeks. I’m starting to think Tildes may be more my speed.
Also interesting how much they count on white grievances and making white people feel attacked. It’s almost like these things make you easier to manipulate.
There have been many sightings and footprints found of Bigfoot, too. I live in the Bigfoot sighting capital of the world and new sightings are routinely reported. If the “Portland” in your name is in reference to the one in Oregon, you do too.
The last widely accepted sighting of a wild thylacine was in 1933, nearly a hundred years ago. Even if any tiny, isolated pockets had managed to escape extermination (which is unlikely on an island without much mountainous terrain or dense forest, especially when everyone and their grandma was out hunting them for the bounty the government put on their tails), they’d be in big trouble owing to genetic drift by now. You always hear people say “I know what I saw,” but do they really? It makes me circle back to the Bigfoot thing. At least some of the people who claim to have seen Bigfoot genuinely believe they really saw him.
IIRC there was also a manipulated photo of a thylacine with a chicken that contributed to the perceprion that they were killing all the livestock, leading the government to put a bounty on them.
The story of their extinction is so sad. They were beautiful animals.
Sister you might want to sit down for this surprising info: Bigfoot isn’t real. The thylacine is. And extinct animals are rediscovered regularly. Like the Galapagos tortoise that was officially extinct for 113 years and the Voeltzkows Chameleon was extinct for 107. The University of Queensland considers it “highly probable” that the thylacine was still alive at least until the 90s based on video and photograph evidence, which again- Bigfoot isn’t real. The thylacine is. So it’s apples and oranges to try and make that comparison between them. Even the ivory billed woodpecker has just last year been likely photographed again. Like am I crazy here? Thylacine isn’t a cryptid. It just hasn’t been seen in a long time. Have you heard of the coelacanth? We only knew about it from fossil evidence until a fisherman found one living!
Nah, son. Thylacines have, in a way, become cryptids since their extinction, complete with cheesy travel shows where some bogan tells you all about how they totally saw one time and they’re 100% sure it was a thylacine they barely saw from a distance running away through the tall grass after sunset. I’ve seen similar shows about Bigfoot, Nessie, Mothman, and others. They don’t exist anymore, making your chances of seeing one alive no more likely than seeing Bigfoot, which is the point I was making. Animals thought to be extinct being officially rediscovered is a pretty rare occurrence; I assure you it doesn’t happen “regularly”. It’s a big deal when it happens because it’s quite rare. Yes, I’m familiar with the stories of all the other extinct species you mentioned as well. The ivory-billed woodpecker is still considered by most ornithologists to be extinct, and the last widely accepted sighting of any individual was in 1987, despite some supposed (but not universally accepted or entirely conclusive) sightings every once in a while. In 2020, a guy working for Fish and Wildlife claimed to have ID’d one in video footage, but it must not have been very compelling because the very next year Fish and Wildlife proposed declaring it officially extinct. People claim to have sighted the ivory-billed woodpecker not infrequently, much like the thylacine. What is infrequent is any compelling evidence whatsoever, however.
Well I have hope. It might be unlikely but that doesn’t make it impossible. And if it ever happens that one is officially captured or whatever I want you to remember me.
In colonial india, the british put a bounty on cobras. Indian villagers who would have usually just killed the cobras and went on with their day now tried to catch them alive so they could then farm them for multiple bounties. This ballooned the snake populations to ridiculous levels, and then the british found out about the scheme. They then cancelled the bounty program, and the snake rearers released their animals on places they thought were far from people.
Why peope saw he mansplaining beside sarcasm? I mean, I didn’t even notice about it before it was a thing. I just always ignore annoying people, that’s all.
I haven’t tried everything out there, but so far nothing I’ve tried is true perfection. The controller I use as daily driver for my PC is an Xbox 360 controller, which I find extremely nice - except for the D-pad. It also lacks the fancy tricks of the PS5 controller - a controller I Iike less for ergonomics but love for stuff like haptic feedback.
I’m on lemmy a lot, but have not seen your site yet. But I’m hesitant to register for a site to find out where to register.
Also, you seem to have a list of servers, where I was able to suggest one country. feddit.org serves the german-speaking fediverse, and that is at least four countries (if you count Liechtenstein).
The site is meant to be a crowdsourced database. You can go to fediverser.network/instances/feddit.org and add the countries. You can do one suggestion at a time. Once it is accepted, you can make new ones.
I’m not that much of an expert but I know display protocols, init system and audio protocol (there are 2 but the new standard supports stuff made for the older one) are standardized.
Been using Renovate a few months now. On large repos it can take a while to run (the git api is slow for certain pages when comparing commits), but it does seem to work well! It’s even got CVE notifications
Everything is already decentralized if you think about. There is no central Earth government.
We may be thinking about what size we want communities to be. My answer is that it depends on the community. Climate change council? Probably needs to be a global community. Street cleaning? City level community. And so on.
