Freaky to read your account. I switched to ubuntu desktop like 3 weeks ago, bought a gpu, installed steam (ok, I had to reinstall from apr since snap didn’t work well), 2 days ago I installed cyberpunk and it runs at 80 fps mostly high-ultra settings without one crash so far, no special boot parameters. (I had to edit the exe today so it wouldn’t force controller config though)

It’s insane how far linux has come in the last 5 yrs. I hope it goes on like this. In opposition to amd, linux actually is our friend. :)

Someone once told me „you can agree with the observation but disagree with the conclusions drawn from them“.

I have the impression that you didn’t get what I‘m talking about. So let me explain:

The meme this person made is saying „everything is political“. Wether the meme is funny or not, it is not conveying a particular political leaning imo.

But you had to bash „the left“ without any reason, hinting that you are on the opposite side.

Taking your unprovoked bashing back to you, I accused you of being anti immigration (also without any evidence).

And now you know how it feels getting bashed for no reason. Instead of being a good sport about it or taking the joke further (like, idk „go cry to stalin.“) you decided to play the victim.

This is the reason why the actual joke „the right cant meme“ is so funny. Because right wing jokes are very easy to grasp and „on the nose“ because right-wing ideology historically appeals to the uneducated with easy answers and strong leadership figures.

Granted, the joke in question here is not really complex either.

You literally started so don’t even try.

Haven’t thought of that. Thanks :)

Go blame immigrants

Makes sense I guess. Thanks for elaborating.

Thank you. I am only a hobby dev but I‘m also considering contributing to the projects I use for my home lab. It’s quite intimidating as I‘m not proficient in any language but I‘ll give it a go at some point.

The reason the stick is so long is so you can’t actually get to the carrot. You just need to think you can.

Good reason for a dev to start contributing to godot. Be the change you want to see. In open source it is even actually possible.

Thats what I did already. I might just leave it at that then. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

Are there any tech co-ops or 100% employee owned companies? Could be a system forward.

I bought minecraft when it was 10$ I believe. Pretty sure it was still played in the browser then.

I‘m down for this type of indie game. :)

We all have these people in our jobs, don’t we? I‘m practicing to engage them with a therapist rn. Have been through abuse when I was young and they love to dump on me. My new goal is to pin a notice on my wall that I get for telling the next bully where to stick it (in public). Lets see how that goes.

I really enjoyed reading this. Do you have a blog or something? Have a good one.

As a mod on reddit (who only reacts to pings these days) I would like to post an undramatic message „here‘s what happened, if you‘re interested to join our lemmy mirror, here‘s the link.“

Anyone got something I could use which will not set off reddit stans or get me replaced and the message deleted?

I‘m just getting really triggered when anyone tries to convert people to the apple ecosystem.

They‘re the worst. Microsoft is half as bad.

I‘m sitting at home with a 500€ ipad which still works wonderfully but apple killed support and made installing something else impossible. Even jailbreaking doesn’t really work well. The device can literally not even open a website anymore because apple needs to sell.

Fuck apple.

Disclaimer

Let me phrase this in a non toxic way:

I believe that this is your opinion based on experience and accounts of people you know. Feel free to offer further insight if you wish.

Also, I don’t know much about apple computers, except they are a lot more expensive than the hardware they’re made of. Which I happen to know a little bit about.

Apple hardware

Although, after watching a lot of apple macbooks being disassembled and repaired (or attempted) by louis rossman, I believe him that apple is doing all they can in making their products unrepairable and don’t care about their customers enough to make louis‘ job obsolete.

They have been sued and paid millions in damages for anti consumer and anti competitive measures, btw.

If you could provide me with contrary evidence, I‘d be happy to believe you instead since this is part of „support“ imo.

What I do know a bit about are apple handhelds. Iphones, ipads and ipods.

And no, my ipad is not still useful. It is a massive pain in the ass to even start up and a constant security risk while apple makes it near impossible to even jailbreak the stupid thing although it would run insanely good with a small linux installation. The same goes for iphones btw.

Apple software

I do agree that linux is a lot tougher to understand than apple OSs. Even ubuntu which I‘m currently using is a lot of work if you‘re doing a complex setup while apple is mostly plug and play.

But there lies a more philosophical question. Do we need an OS that is so polished and perfect because it and the hardware is so locked down that apple can make it e waste with the push of a button?

Also, the support window of windows is comparable to apple. Windows 10 still receives updates until 2025 and works on machines as early as mid 2000s. That is 20 years of machines and 8 yrs of lifetime (2015 released).

So I‘d say both windows and linux are the better choice, while linux is the most consumer friendly (no ads, privacy friendly, free, open source, highly configurable) but a little more complicated than windows and a lot more complicated than mac os.

And yes, if you need the newest and best (statistically, you dont), dont care about cost or the environment and want it for your grandma to use, apple is your choice. Everyone else just does it for image reasons imo.

Btw. getting support for my iphone while still new has been a lot harder than getting support for ubuntu. And please dont forget that apple was sued to give support on their batteries. They are not our friends.

Better alternatives at the moment seem to be: Fairphone for phones and Framework for Laptops. They are environmentally friendly, fairphone is also fairly traded and both are highly repairable.

Very much so. But dumping on people who are not well is easy. So much so that it seems like an international competition. Glad to see some people still have empathy.

I didnt say that. But as someone else pointed out: I did make a mistake saying that windows in general does. But the other two do which still proves my point especially since unix is the base for mac os. Linux is the absolute craziest of the bunch since it pretty much rund on anything.
