yeah i was hype about it until MS basically big timed everyone and was like “everyone will switch when they see how good the OS is, and then people will HAVE to make apps for it”
all while charging a fee

Linux@lemmy.ml•Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batchesEnglish
93·2 months agoi dislike how those of us who aren’t okay with this are just supposed to get on board because “big tent.” nazis operate by getting their foot in the door and acting respectable. then after a little bit, suddenly they’ve taken the whole place over. it’s what they do with bars, it’s what they do with music scenes, it’s what they’ve done with past open source projects, it’s what they did with the Reform Party in the united states. i need people to stop making room for nazis as long as they behave themselves

World News@lemmy.ml•How to recognise senile dementiaEnglish
21·5 months agoi think bicameralism has a place IF we actually learn from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy instead of just half ass copy their homework like we did last time. we gotta do it right and actually build anti-authoritarian systems into our ways of being. our founding fathers were a bunch of oligarchs who were still pretty sure an enlightened autocrat might be the way

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today.English
14·6 months agogo open youtube in a private tab and see how long it takes for an innocuous video to get a recommended video from the manosphere, rightwingtube, or magaworld. youtube pushes nazi shit hard. if they’re not pushing it on you, it usually means their mathematical model for determining who right wing propaganda works best on indicates you’re not a good target, in which case they’ll mostly push meaningless drivel.
youtube and youtube culture have been dying a right wing nazi death for a decade now. all the best things people were doing are on patreon and nebula now

Technology@beehaw.org•Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came inEnglish
14·8 months agoi’ll have to find it, but there’s a fascinating journalistic podcast about how pornhub’s position as the tech giant of the porn industry happened effectively the same as every tech giant: not as a labor of love to advance something, but as a cold blooded disruption of a market to establish a new oligarchic overlord of a market sector. pornhub’s position as an invasive species in the sex work ecosystem has made sex work far less humane than it was before. moreover, sex workers, given their complete lack of societal protection given our legal criminalization of their profession, are more vulnerable to the whims of a modern robber baron

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use?English
11·1 year agoThis is a scenario where a single node VPN would reduce, not increase OP’s security stance. You do have to worry about NK hackers breaching your services because they’re all exposed through the single node VPN server. Same attack surface, less knowledge needed to hit the target with the payload.

83·1 year agoman that’s so sad. how far the amazonians who scared the romans shitless have fallen when even eastern european women are trad-wifin’ it. and what’s sad is that the way she gave up her dignity is she was convinced since birth by people who were convinced since birth that she had no dignity in the first place. it’s possible to cherish your children and to take joy in home tasks without treating it like its your only value

some people are more comfortable doing all of their computer actions from the keyboard without reaching for the mouse. tiling WMs tend to make that easier to do at the cost of requiring some learning
