  • I think most people in Europe nowadays hate Israel, at least the younger ones.

    y’all aren’t as free from State thought control as you think

    Yes this should be obvious for anyone with even a slight political awareness, I honestly don’t know why Europe still has such a good rep for its “democratic” and “free” values when it’s trying really hard to remind us that’s not the case. Probably through the sheer force of propaganda, and the remainders of socialist concessions that haven’t yet been taken away like free healthcare etc.











  • Depends what your threat model is, if you absolutely want no data about you whatsoever possibly leaving the device because it endangers you then Tails OS is probably the most private distro out there as others have mentioned, but it’s use case is specifically to be used for very private stuff and working through a live USB stick so that nothing remains on the device.

    For the average person any distro is a huge improvement privacy wise over Windows, though Ubuntu does have ties to Amazon since it’s owned by Canonical, so if there’s any Linux distro you should avoid for privacy reasons it’s Ubuntu. It’s still incomparably private relative to Windows, but you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by choosing other alternatives, Mint is just as easy and user friendly as Ubuntu without most of the bloat and Amazon crap.



  • GTA was never an RPG, it’s an action game with shooting and driving things.

    It really can’t be compared to Cyberpunk which is really focused in the RPG elements, making choices in every single sidequest out there, making your own character build with skill trees, items, body mods etc.

    They’re completely different genres, which is also why so many people got infuriated when Cyberpunk came out because it was not the Next GTA™ game they were expecting, even though Cyberpunk never really marketed to be like that.



  • Only that the compiler works in a defined algorithmic way that can always be expected to work, at worst it uses more cpu registers than needed or something. AI on the other hand just spews garbage in a fundamentally statistical way and despite the enormous efforts to create tools that manipulate it into working more predictably, it still sucks so much of the time.

    Another difference is that you are critically thinking when “instructing” a compiler via the code, but you only convince yourself that you think critically when you’re instructing an AI, it’s not the same and it actively makes you a worse engineer every time you decide to use it instead of thinking.










  • Then why did they lock the fucking thread as controversial if it was such an innocent change?

    It’s paving the wave to implement a Californian law that can very easily end up meaning ID verification for everything.

    They could just not have done this at zero cost but decide to go to multiple projects, at this specific time which obviously isn’t coincidental, and actively work to start implementing this on Linux. I guess “Contributed to systemd” on their CV was more valuable than resisting the USA taking control of the whole internet and ending all sense of privacy.


  • Wow that’s an insane level of bootlicking, it was completely free for them to do absolutely nothing about this nonsense law and give the middle finger if asked by the US

    I didn’t care before but it turns out the systemd haters were on to something for a long time, fuck these owners for even considering this and even locking the PR to avoid valid criticism, I hope all the contributors create a fork, jump ship and never let the previous owners commit a single line of code to it
