be more vocal about how shitty this kind of behavior is and show support to those who are vocal about it.

If small loud minority can have effect on things, loud majority has big effect. It could for example lead to having protections against this because politicans would start to feel like their position is threatened if they dont, and if enough people care then they actually might be.

Just showing that you care about anything will have an effect even if people dont show it, because others will see that you care and if even one of those people also gets inspired by it you have done well. This is why its important to attend rallies too imo, even if you think it doesnt change anything. This is also why authorities want to suppress even peaceful rallies.

What does it even cost to you to be vocal about something that is wrong? People do it all the time about stupid things too, so why not do it for things that might benefit you?

And i dont mean be vocal just about this particular tv brand pushing ads all the time. i think its obvious but i have noticed it apparently isnt often.

i wish people were less tolerating about this shit. most likely users of those tvs will grumble a little at first and then just accept and eventually disparage anyone for speaking against it.

people should get way more angry about this publicly.

just think about how things used to be 50 or 100 years ago. Having a huge scandal could actually end someones career or put down a company. Now there is nothing shitty people and companies can’t do because everyone is so apathetic they wouldnt care if they themselves are the victim.

being asshole towards less technically adept people about linux should become something that gets you seriously shamed and even ostracized if it continues. that kind of behavior hurts ALL of us by reducing popularity of linux and this reducing developer interest in supporting linux, which also means less drivers for critical components which in turn might mean your pc just cant utilize linux.

Personally, i have issue of internet getting randomly cut off due to too old drivers for my network adapter/chipset/not sure. The motherboard i use is one of the latest there is.

This issue has apparently persisted for years now, according to forum posts about it. So i’m directly suffering from linux not being popular enough.

-> Someone else would just return to windows because this is quite insuffreable even for me. But personally i’m happier with malfunctioning linux system than correctly working windows.

all they do is demonstrate why no game should use licensed music ever. cant stream of make videos of those games either without having to worry about this shit.

people just shouldnt work for ea at all. Even if you do good job you still lose your job.

pour superglue on them so everything stays put, pour solvent when you want to take them off

Most likely if you wanted to generate qr code that looks like swastika, you would have to input very specific letter nonesense to do it. Its very specific scenario and just pointless waste of manhours to prevent it, when someone who would want to generate such qr code would just do something else if prevented.

can’t logic someone out of somewhere they didnt logic themselves in.

So first try to understand how your friend feels and what is really going on with them.

i wonder which would be worse idea, letting llm to have full access to your critical systems and data, or letting random people from internet freely connect to them and expect them to help.

it seems if game hasnt been specificially made in such way it will not work on linux or uses some intrusive “anti cheat”, it will work much better than on windows ever. For me, not a single game i have wanted to play has failed to work on linux. I even got star citizen to work by installing it according to guide and using windows emulator. On steam, even some really old game, longest journey (from 2000) worked flawlessly when i tested how it will run.

nah, its the companies that are coming after the minds. llm are just their instrument for it.

oh boy, so you can be prevented from freely modding your pc games too?

Way I see it, death is something that is in between different states, something ends and something else begins.

without death there is no end and without end there is no real beginning either since the word doesnt even have meaning at that point. And without end there is also no change, because changing enough would be also kind of an ending and also “dying” as one version of you stops and another begins. Could such being even be sentient enough to understand you? Would it want to be?

at some point the failure of justice system will lead to vigilantism because people truely lose their faith in it.

i want it banned even if it doesnt

the thing is, alternatives need to be able to cater also the tech illiterate. Otherwise we will have growing number of people that will just accept all this bullshit and eventually start to view more free systems with suspicion(after some propaganda from corporations), which might lead to pressure to limit/restrict those free systems in personal usage.

We really need a distro that we can recommend to some grandma who can barely open their pc by themselves and which they can use easily and safely. Since most people use pc for mostly browsing and maybe printing,text editing, i think it shouldnt be too hard to make something that is easy to use since you can leave majority of functions off and mostly have to think of ease of use/automation.

removing downvotes is same as giving upvotes to trolls and assholes by default. not even toxic positivity imo, just plain toxicity

Though when you do encounter problems in windows, they will likely be something that just cant be solved or its unnecessarily big hassle. Or bad stuff will happen that was mostly out of your hands in the first place, like what happened with the article.

But yeah, there should be a distro that is specificially aimed for tech illiterate people that is nice and easy to use and also safe. But then again, if majority started using linux it might also draw more attention from malicious parties like criminals and corporations. Its just that for me, once you have linux set up and automated, you dont need to do anything complicated with it if you dont want to. At least i havent had to on mint. I understand that basic users can’t do that on their own, but I bet there are tons of people who have skills to do so and could do it for a reasonable pay or even as a favor to friend. People are willing to pay more for less, so why not.

yeah, bazzite is still somewhat confusing to me because its so different from other distros i have used. But whenever i dont know or understand something i just search for guides and explanations or if nothing else works or i feel lazy i might even cave in to ask llm for info. Idea of not looking up information when needed is just something that doesnt even occur to me, its like refusing to be autonomous.
