  • Wow… Is there any org that doesn’t protect its pedos

    One that have people outside their walls that check-up on them.

    Public schools often do what they can to prevent/remove sex criminals. Being alone with a child in an area out of view may get you in trouble.
    Law firms, and least in Canada, remove people very quickly. The Law societies will get you.

    And once again, I have heard of police and military trying to protect pedos/rapists in their ranks, but not firefighters.

  • If you're not having a good time, stop. Life is too short.

    If you're still interested in using linux, LinuxMint or PopOs! are what most people would recommend to a new user, not Arch.

    Arch can be perfect for users with the time, knowledge, and effort to perfectly tailor things to suit their needs. They can make it perfectly efficient, without any excess.
    I just want to use my computer whenever I want it to work. I am fine with it having a few extra packages/applications that I might never use. I've being using linux as main (or only) operating system on/off for about 20 years, and I currently use Mint.

  • Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

    Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn't just marketing on computers.

  • You can only change it for yourself by changing it to subscribed, or changing it to all. https://lemmy.ca/settings

    Compared to other social media sites, lemmy doesn't curate/manipulate in the "feed". This is both good and bad. Because .ca isn't just Canadians, but every instance we are linked to, whatever communities from here that get a little traction globally will poison the feed.

    It order to fix that, .ca would need to limit what kinds of communities can be made on this instance. They do this with the no porn/bigotry rule, but that's still not very specific. There is also the issue of a small number of people on the platform creating 50+ communities, not doing anything with them, not even making a single post. This poisons looking for new communities.
    They could decide to change the rules and remove a bunch of communities, but I assume the admins discussed this, coming to the conclusion that it would drive a large amount of people away.

  • The problems may start with the laws in the country. Being gay is a crime punishable with the death penalty in some places, and helping "criminals" hide their crimes (or even just not reporting it) is often a crime as well.

  • It's the correct move. I know a few Phd pro Ph who went this route in their 30s.

    Instead of just listening to U1 students with the same bad takes/logic, they now help people with actual tangible problems in the real world.
    They also went from "maybe I can afford name brand beans" to "maybe I shouldn't eat out every day this week".

  • It is illegal, but kids get most content online now. So, although many countries have laws on the books against ads targeting children, it doesn't mean that they don't.

    Juul got in trouble for doing this, using ads that were definitely not specifically targeting tweens/teens on websites for Seventeen magazine, cartoon network, and Nick jr.

    Edit: correction on the websites
