Linux.

Honestly, not even joking. It’s just not something you have to care about when you run Linux.

One of the advantages of using a platform with like 3% userbase. But it’s a great platform.

No it would infect wine, not Linux.

Anyway I can see your point, but just in case the OP wants to try a different operating system where you don’t have these problems, it’s good to know about Linux.

There are virus scanners for it, sure, but they are hardly used outside of enterprise environments and there is almost no virus writers targeting Linux. It’s a different world.

Once you try it, you don’t want to go back to Windows.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Of course it’s not a container but wine is a windows emulator running in Linux. So wine will be infected, which means your windows apps may be infected also.

Thanks, that’s the correct word.

I like the idea of showerthoughts but I don’t want to moderate it on Lemmy.world. I don’t believe in having all communities on one big instance called Lemmy.world.

Are you open to people from other instances moving it over there?

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Im sorry but its funny… :)

And well deserved by Blizzard.

I started using it when the new theme came. I really like it and I started organizing my email again with rules and folders. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I’m really sorry to hear this. If someone wants to target an instance and create enough work so it becomes impossible to maintain it, they can.

This is why we need to spread out on many different instances. Maybe you have noticed that every time Lemmy.world is attacked, there’s almost no content anymore. We can change that by spreading out and posting from different instances.

If a few of them are attacked, then it doesn’t affect the entire fediverse.

There is something entertaining reading bad reviews, specially when it comes from shitty companies.

Bots that post articles, sure.

Fastmail is great and has very fast user interface and lots of nice features, such as email address aliases you can create with a button click or integrate it with Bitwarden etc.

It costs money though, just so you know if you want “free” (nothing is really free).

Ubuntu desktop version, it’s slow and buggy and the devs push ads and snaps and other crap.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Really? It’s even in the apt update command when you update your system.

Stuff like this: askubuntu.com/…/how-to-get-rid-of-ubuntu-pro-adve…

It’s better at blocking ads even. :)

So create more technology communities on different instances? We have the technology for it now.

!technology

I created this one today because we need more, and we need to spread out. If you don’t want to join lemmy.today, start a community on your own instance. But spread out.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I understand. Well we will se how it goes :)

It really is unfortunate that almost all their users are asleep at the wheel and don’t care.

I use it at work but gladly tell the boss… It’s only pluses if we can do more trivial work faster. More time to relax. They don’t watch what I do during the day. The boss relaxes also. All good.

Very cute girls on that show, and funny. Really liked scrubs.

Just an amazing human being and actor. If you haven’t seen The Whale, it’s highly recommended.

It made me cry though. It’s really sad.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah I’ve seen them all many times. They are sad and funny at the same time, its brilliant directing and acting.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah… Because it shows how cruel people can be to eachother. Thats why you got angry? Without spoiling…

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

Happy to say I don’t watch YouTube much anymore, except when someone recommends some random video… And then I use Newpipe to watch it.

I’m just so over big tech. You know that feeling when you get so tired of a person that even seeing them from a distance fills you with anger? That’s big tech for me now.

You really should pick PopOS, it’s the best one with excellent desktop experience.

I say no personally and have been turning down jobs where I despise the company.

Trump is running? :)

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

They can’t say it because their instance is down :)

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Because people here are tired of being exploited by corps I would assume.

Also it’s a teenage thing. No money but wants to play all the latest games. :)

Always exceptions, some people like you stay cool their entire life :)

At this point I view it as a iq test.

Just kidding… But you know what I mean.

1984 OP ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Appearently so, yes.

We should have something like federated communities

Communities on different instances about the same topic should have the option to essentially federate so a post on one appears on all of them and opening any of them shows you the comments from all of them. This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the...

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Good idea but this will lead to even more centralization if it’s decided by the instances who their communities federates with.

The top ones will federate and leave the small instances out of the loop. Or put demands on other instances they have to fulfill to be part of the community federation.

It all ends up similar to Reddit in the end. Maybe it’s unavoidable and we cant have properly decentralized now when it’s centralized.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Cool, call me when you arrive… :)

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

When Lemmy.world was ddos’ed, other instances didn’t feel any of the effects, despite being on the same hosting provider. So it really matters - spread out :)

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Firefox is probably the best alternative but I agree about people looking for flaws. We are all flawed to same degree. It’s unrealistic to expect everyone to have the same opinions about things as yourself.

But that being said, if you find those opinions to be extreamly offensive, don’t use their products. I’m off Google almost completely for that reason. I despise them and am actively telling people to stop using them.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Depends on the search engine I think? I was getting lots of nice results on “Lemmy neovim” on Kagi.

But yeah, fully aware that almost all people use Google and that the current results may not be as good as reddit.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

And no big tech!!
