From the headline, I was ready to read about shooting civilians and bombing waterworks, schools and fucking hospitals. What a yawnfest bull-shit pile of a story.

... and yet, North Koreans did this work, and I addressed the money issue from the regime-level down.

Stealing Identities to get work does not imply the ruined the credit of those people. Getting worked up over this is NOT all that far off from getting worked up over immigrant laborers stealing identities so they can work and feed their families, or recieve food stamps or medical care. At least those last two kinda-sorta have victims, and yet I still prefer immigrants be able to eat.

Sorry, you're not going to be able to get me to buy into the fear-mongering hysteria-machine by apeing thier narratives. I'm not saying your arguments are invalid, just addressing them from the same surface-level reading you gave mine.

I upvoted that comment, but I'm right there with you in wanting it spelled out by that particular user. Personally, I see AI as the beginnings of a future generation of person, and I despise Copyright profiteering by middle-men.

Doesn't mean I'm okay with all of the resources getting wasted on it, the damage to the environment, or those people going un-paid for their existing body of work, nor those who will be unable to make a living through creative works in the future, because of AI.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the enforced anonymity of up-votes and down-votes(and the seeming concensus that "this is a good thing"). Whether I can articulate all of my opinions or not, I definitely don't care to take the time to do so with all of them, particularly when they've already been spelled out by others(yay up-votes). A stupid number is easier to ignore than a well-thought-out(or otherwise) wall-of-text, that spaws others.

Personally, I have no qualms about blocking someone over their up-votes and down-votes, and anonymizing, or disabling, either, just seems to make it easier for trash that can keep quiet to hide. Personally, I identify with Marjory, so I guess it evens out.

TL;DR: I'm all for giving (biggotted)trash the lowest-effort-possible ways to out themselves, provided the rest of us can act upon it.

... but y'all seem to have figured it out within the constraints of the Lemmy system, while I'm still reeling at the notion that this seems to be the best thing out there with any traction among the masses.

Oh no! People making money by ... checks notes ... working for it!!

No, I don't care that they are doing it for a communist regime bent on developing nuclear weapons. The only consistent result of depriving rogue states of money and trade is the starvation of their people. Its a little hard to overthrow or reform a government on an empty stomach.

More like "Rico was right to choose Dizzy over Carmen".

... in Carmen's defense, too few people have the integrity to end one relationship before starting another.

The Hannibal Directive lays the single largest claim on that death tally, but do go on.

I was talking maturity-level, experience, education, etc. ...and character, in particular.

One of the only things that would have made me vaguely proud of my service ... except the entire time I was in was covered by Don't Ask Don't Tell, and my best friend in uniform Told rather than deploy with our unit. The part that makes me sad was he wasn't comfortable enough with our peers, and he was absolutely right to be scared of them.

Only issue I had with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7, OS wise, was that I had to use their app in Windows to remove the legally-required volume limitting (Tow-boat I was on was constantly LOUD) ... but in my book, its a plus it had that ability, and I only had to do it the once. Never touched their app again.

Sadly, this is until security checks your ID, and the last University I went to had Hostile Architecture anywhere and everywhere the administration(or some student project... 🤮) could come up with the slightest(or no) excuse, indoors or out.

Hospital shares as much of the blame as Google, Discord or Reddit. Amazing how Nintendo is engaging in these shenanigans on the verge of a new console release, when they almost certainly could have fixed these issues with a low-effort hardware refresh years ago.

Because its their fault there are un-patchable vunerabilities in the Switch's hardware, yessiree. 🙄

I had the opposite problem. I wanted to link a friend to the community on lemmy.world ...

I won't be joining this one myself, as my tolerance for such things is low ... or excessive, depending on who you ask. Firmly nestled Among other things for which I should avoid any excuse, or enablers, tbh.

On-line surveys have always had this problem with bots and people with agendas. Its sad and comical they are pretending this is something new.

Where does this imply that I downvoted anything for the reasons you mentioned? There were maybe five or six comments prior to my own, and I downvoted all of them besides OPs(which I did upvote, tyvm - funny how that didn't work out to you noticing).

Less spammy than "trying to set the record straight" by correcting them all, nevermind that, as I stated, I don't have a better solution anyways, but again, yes, I also up-voted the one-or-two comments that had anything to do with OPs problem, both clarifications by OP themselves.

I've also up-voted other comments since, but there have been none talking about Ribbons and Tabs since, at least. Almost like what visibility my own comment got served its purpose.

Things don't have to be positive to work. Sometimes Loud Garbage can slow the buildup of even-more-useless-if-well-meaning garbage. Well-intentioned, useless, basically-un-true-in-context things only pass one of Socrates criteria, btw.

A noob, or anyone who spends too much time on /UnixDesktops without realizing that /rainmeter is also a thing.

Just answering your question. Debian here

No. Windows has these "issues" if you use a diverse-enough set of apps, and there are quite-a-few things it won't let you tweak without paid or uNtRuSteD apps that Linux will. The difference is that Linux includes more diverse apps by default, and doesn't hide them away very well.

Personally, I love a bit of inconsistency, and Windows resides on my laptop because I'm more concerned with getting Linux onto my phone these days.
