I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.

She needs to be a sex symbol of course, like in an action film. Then Disney can package this turd neatly, like they always do, and sell it to kids.

Why would you panic more from #3 than #1?

I understand that this is a meme, but dismissing one of the best distro family because snaps are included is dumb. It is easy to uninstall snap entirely.

The only serious bummer is that the Firefox deb-package is now fake and only installs the snap version of Firefox. Go get Librewolf, which is basically a hardened Firefox, and use their repository.

It is fun to meme around when it is with people that are familiar with Linux. But some Windows/MacOS users who are interested in Linux might take you seriously. Ubuntu and Ubuntu-like distros are really good in terms of ease of use, support and compatibility. My first recommendation for a new Linux user is Ubuntu or variations thereof.

If you don’t get in line Musk, I’ll feed you to the peasant rats!

The peasant rats:

racist cars

Lmao. What the actual fuck?

Regardless if you like Elon Musk or not, we should be careful not to become a vehicle (no pun intended) for some elites’ political, ideological or religious agendas.

I think you’ve got it backwards. If we can’t acknowledge that both are bad before talking about banning them, then what justification do we have for banning them?

That could help. But then we need:

1. More instances.
2. A more uniform distribution of users. (as opposed to people flocking to just one or a couple of instances)

There are issues that simply cannot be resolved without switching away from Windows. For example inefficient drivers, old hardware, telemetry and privacy issues in general. I’ve several times seen how Linux can bring new life to old computers, make the PC cooler, and the fans spin less or not at all under low workloads.

The primary instances where wouldn’t recommend Linux is when the person is:

• Using DRM-heavy games that (on purpose) refuse to run on Wine/Proton.
• Using Windows-only proprietary software or drivers.
• Isn’t ready to learn a new system (e.g. an older or disabled person).

If these issues don’t exist, I think Linux can bring benefit to a Windows user. If they are not ready to do a complete switch, they can dual-boot and try it out.

The dangerous part is that he can start bribing admins of large instances to federate Threads. I’m not sure how one would practically defend against something like this. The only way I can think of would be for an admin to be so ideologically opposed to Meta that they would refuse even $1m to federate. But such people are rare.

Mass media are at their core propaganda tools. Their mission is to further the agendas of whoever finances them, they are not driven by the pursuit of truth, justice or anything related such as the defense of privacy.

They can just pin Reddit users against reality. That will do the trick.

Can’t we just say that both are bad?

Remember that Reddit also started off small, then grew, then got bought, then turned into shit (*). However, I think that Lemmy has a greater chance of surviving as long as people keep everything truly decentralized. We shouldn’t all flock to “lemmy.world” or any other one Lemmy instance. Because if we do, that specific Lemmy instance will also be sold (along with the userbase) and turned into a corporate money-making machine.

(*) Some would argue that Reddit has always been shit, but that’s besides the point…

A man who is unable to set very fundamental boundaries in a relationship is not a real man. If you enter a relationship with the intention of having a monogamous marriage, then get cucked, then accept it, it means you have no spine. Any “boundaries” that you loosely claim to have, really don’t exist. How are you supposed to be a father? Children need a man as a father, not a spineless cuck.

I can respect a man more who just has casual sex/one-night-stands. Because there is a possibility that he can set boundaries once he actually enters a relationship, whereas with you, it’s a certainty that you cannot.
