A fellow leaks enjoyer, hi there! It's also the only community on Reddit I still check as well. Excited for Fontaine?

I can put some faith in SUSE, they've done good work throughout the years.

Unlike fucking Oracle.

First, Elon wanted to get touchy and hit on Zuck

Now, he wants to see his dick duck

Idk, I think love's in the air.

WE CAN'T LET THEM PROCREATE

We all know she was put in the CEO position to take the fall, she has no way to save or fix anything.

I didn't know about it, but it looks really neat. Gonna give it a spin to help me summarize documentation.

Edit: I meant to reply to the article, sorry 😅

If Meta starts throwing their weight around the W3C to approve changes to ActivityPub that will benefit them, they can very well try to implement tracking.

Digital literacy not being taught to the common people is by design: the less you know about how something works, the more vulnerable you are to being exploited. Big tech corporations thrive on this by guiding the folks to their walled gardens.

Federation isn't a hard concept to teach at all, I've taught it to my kid in less than 2 minutes:

• you pick a server like you choose the address where you wanna live (has the kinds of things you'd like to interact with, be it communities or people), you'll be closer to some stuff, like this market or that bookstore, but can still freely visit places further away (other servers) and meet to the people and stuff over there.

"And how do I know which to choose?"

• There's this list here, just click the links and you can read this space here on the right side (in Lemmy's case). It's like you reading the description for which Roblox game you wanna play, for example.

Geeky people need to be able to teach at least just a little bit, I've done so for my family and it's been paying off. Lots of us complain a lot about people being "tech dumb" but make little effort to solve the issue.

Google is already doing shitty work to android though: they're removing some basic apps (dialer and contacts) from the open-sourced part of it.

Same here, long time KDE user and got nothing on this

Just be aware of distrowatch rankings, they're sorted by visits to the site, impressions and etc, and don't necessarily reflect how much a distro is really widely used.

As others have said, if your device doesn't have a Nvidia card, go with Linux Mint. If you do have a Nvidia card Fedora (maybe not the default GNOME version, as GNOME's workflow required some time to get used to) or openSUSE might be better options.

If you're okay with a distro installer asking a few more questions than the basic ones, and you don't need super updated stuff, you can also try Debian.

Thanks for the hard work! Gonna download it right now ✨

Edit: just updated, everything's doing fine and smooth over here!

And then people don't like to hear that at this point Europe are just a bunch of vassal estates to the USA. They could have fought against it and become more independent, but didn't and now it's too late.

The trend of one shitty corporation attempting some PR bullshit and market-taking after the previous shitty corporation makes a really idiotic move doesn't stop with Meta going for Twitter's throat, doesn't it?

Oracle trying to spin up some moral high ground over RedHat is hysterically bad. They'd do better staying quiet.

For me, it depends heavily on how they do it.

• Will it be FOSS?
• Will of adhere to the ActivePub standard and play nice in not trying to push it around to suit their needs alone?
• Will it be honest about how much and which data they collect, and give users control on how much they want to share?
• Are they good about not forcing their users on an unknowable algorithm?

There's too many factors to decide on a whim. Not all companies are wholly evil like Meta, Microsoft and Elon's enterprises, but they're all for-profit, and we must always be wary. I'm willing to give Tumblr's owner the benefit of the doubt for now.

No thanks, I'll keep my Tutanota email (unless someone shares some worrying thing about them).

Billionaires can spend and burn their whole net worth for all I care. Datasets should be either:

• Paid for to the provider platform, and each original content creator gets a share (eg. The platform keeps 10% of the sold price for hosting costs, the 90% remaining are distributed to content creators according to size and quality of the data provided)
• Consciously donated by the content creators (eg: an OPT-IN term in the platform about donating agreed upon data for non-profit research), but the dataset must never be sold for or used for profit. Publicly available research purposes only.
• Dataset is "rented" by the users and platform in an OPT-IN manner, and they receive royalties/payments for each purchase/usage of the dataset.

The current manner things are done only favours venture capitalists (wage thieves), shareholders (also wage thieves) and billionaire C-suits (wage thieves as well).

Fully agreed. That's why I said "at most" because that's the worst I'd tolerate, but I still think upvoting is already enough.

Also works fine and is better than inlining it all. I'm just more used to ending the lines with the symbols - instead of starting the next line with them like your example - because it's the same parttern I use for other stuff, like (curly) brackets.

VC backed AI makers and billionaire-ran corporations should definitely pay for the data they use to train their models. The common user should definitely check the licences of the data they use as well.
