denast , to linux in What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?

One thing I always talk about is how DE is much more important for new user than a distro. New users will only use GUI anyway so their choice of DE has to be the most comfortable.

Took me years personally to switch to Linux, trying stuff like Ubuntu or PopOS, and I couldn’t understand why it doesn’t “click” for me until I understood that I simply personally dislike Gnome (being an ex Windows user). Tried a KDE distro and it clicked immediately, never looked back. Now I don’t even use KDE but it helped me to get through initial frustration period.

denast , to technology in Russia Is Trying to Leave the Internet and Build Its Own

Russian here. This is a super old claim from our government and is a common source of jokes, it’s even called “Cheburnet” (from Cheburashka) colloquially, nobody really treats such claims seriously. Last time Russian government tried to influence internet was when they struggled to ban telegram for several years, and ended up giving up, endorsing it, and moving their official resources to it.

denast , to technology in Telegram has become a window into war

All of these are strictly Ukrainian though. Following some Russian sources as well would make sense to get fuller picture.

(I’m not providing examples though as I don’t really follow either. Several months into the war I gave up trying to sort propaganda from something substantial)

denast , to nostupidquestions in Is Mr Beast a good person?

He seems pretty genuine, but I can’t watch his content because I personally find the cult of money… repelling?

I mean, obviously under capitalism money will have cult following, duh. But this stereotypical handing over tons of cash to someone and someone loosing all their shit makes me feel very uneasy.

denast , to youshouldknow in YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

If you ask me, I’d make upvotes/downvotes public overall. Always hated how on reddit some miserable people downvote lots of innocent stuff, hiding behind their anonymity.

Lemmy & Reddit are public discussion platforms, everything you do here should be public, it’s not like you use them to store private information.
