I think it’s also about cult mindsets. If a scientist says the earth is billions of years old that also means there’s no heaven and the alienated existence under capitalism is all you get. There’s a phrase I heard from religious-types: “would you rather this be the closest you get to heaven or hell?” They really see earth as hell and are only here to recruit and die.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
I feel like there’s a layer I’m missing here
Yeah it’d be nice if people would start uploading to peertube…
Personally I just like being close to upstream so that contributing if I find bugs is easier.
As others have said I also recommend it for tech-competent gamers.
Reddit is just completely impossible to use these days. Even just trying to find answers to stuff in there you just get “you’ve been blocked by network security” 90% of the time. Shit’s dead to me.
I’m talking about like your mom if she started using Linux, and just needs it to be able to open a web browser and check Facebook or her email or something.
Nothing. Just set up Elementary or Mint or something with a shortcut to Firefox and there’s nothing else to do. Any apps they might need would come from an app store, so point that out.
A student that just needs a laptop to do homework and take notes
So how to open a text editor? Recommending an easy-to-use and standard one like Kate would be good, but a polished distro will have one preinstalled.
someone that just wants to play games on Steam and chat on discord.
They need concepts like filesystems (e.g. the concept of a root directory, mounting, and device files), software repositories (since steam comes from a non-default repo in many distros), an awareness of the whole graphics driver situation, and hardware both appropriate to their needs and to running Linux.
Death to AI, death to capitalism
Insofar as “left” and “right” are really a thing they’re just about whether or not you support monarchy or authoritarianism (right-wing) or democracy (left-wing). What you’ve said are cultural things that don’t really map to that very well.
I love how completely unaware of the stupid drama on bsky everyone here seems to be.
It’s called GrapheneOS
I didn’t get that from the meme at all. This is a shit post.
It’s also that any 3rd party apps violate the TOS and if they discover that you’re using it they’ll boot you from the service
That was indeed what I meant
Wait…signal has a linux-native standalone app that doesn’t depend on android or iPhone? Since when??
Edit: looks like no
And Signal gets on board
Yeah I knew someone who lived in Anchorage for a while. Said it was pretty normal.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion
Does that mean if the executive branch just does it it’s OK?
When I needed this I reached for whatever generic rtmp cameras were well rated. Blocked them from external access (including outgoing!) at the firewall level and used Zoneminder and some custom scripts to monitor.
