I think the post is not quite about that.

Anti-semitism exists, absolutely yes. But condemning the state of Israel of war crimes is not example of one, no matter how Israeli government tries to twist it.

If you support the action of Israel against the civilians of Palestine, it doesn't matter if you're a Jew or not - you deserve the scorn you get.

If you're a Jew and you do not support this hell, I'm very sorry if you get any hostility directed to you, you're a victim too. You deserve love and safety. Condemnation of the actions of Israel is in no way directed at you.

But Israeli military generals and government should face international trial for what they've done. It is crazy somebody in their right mind dares to support them in the 21st century.

My brother is a Linux first-timer, and he specifically asked me to install Debian after I explained that it's stability-focused, but as such sacrifices functional updates and is only globally updated once every two years.

Some people need latest and greatest (i.e. here's your Arch), some need stability over everything (i.e. here's your Debian), some don't need extremes and strike a balance somewhere in between (i.e. everything else).

I use Manjaro (Arch-based) on main PC and Debian on a work laptop. Main PC should better enjoy all the benefits of all things new (while standing a week or two behind bleeding-edge to not cut itself, which is Manjaro's selling point) while work laptop is mission critical and can work perfectly fine with what Debian has to offer, so, Debian it is.

Arch is easy to install; it's a headache to manage.

If you want a stable Arch, you need to check the updates and take very granular control over packages and versioning.

While some nerds may like tinkering with their system in all those ways, for regular user Arch is simply too much effort to maintain.

The difference is that with permissive licenses everyone can take any amount of code, add literally whatever and make it all proprietary. This way, things like MacOS, as well as gaming console firmware for example, were made.

Licenses like GPL don't allow you to do that - if you borrow anything GPL, you have to make your creation open-source, or else a juicy lawsuit awaits you, technically on copyright basis. For example, Android as a base OS is open-source simply because it uses code from Linux kernel, and the latter is licensed under GPLv2.

The latter is superior since it propagates the open-source code by forcing everyone who used the free code to share their code as well. This proved to be very useful with even corporations having their hands tied into showing the code, ensuring transparency and security for everyone.

I see, makes practical sense. I've heard some good things about BSD from home server operators

Permissive open-source licenses suck, and so does BSD.

Copyleft and GPL are the only sane choices.

BSD is indeed a cuck license.

At that point they'll adapt.

They are scared of technology, but when forced to interact with it by themselves, when nobody's there to help, they learn very quick.

It just requires some short stress and bare minimum effort.

This. Despite majority of Linux distributions now having Calamares or similar installer (which your grandma can effortlessly navigate and successfully install Linux, should you be around and tell her she's doing amazing), the mere fear of going on step to the side and "destroying computer forever" is paralyzing for them.

They are scared of anything that can make any change in the system, they feel a mere mortal can't understand it, and they don't bother.

Which is why preinstalled is the only option.

As per usage, the common scenarios already don't require any terminal. Your family member who needs to just surf the Web, edit documents, watch media and play some games will NEVER face Linux terminal.

I believe people somehow did it through federation with Mastodon.

Don't remember in details. I'm not aware for Lemmy having such bots, but ActivityPub in general should have some.

Truly daemonic of you

Unfortunately, it very much doesn't work like that.

The goal of any company, Amazon included, is to pay you as little as possible while extracting as much work from you as possible.

Without a union, they will pay you absolute minimum they can to have you stay at that job, regardless of other expenses - in fact, corporations keep renewing records in profits without workers getting anything from it.

With a union, strikes and legal actions increase your power over the company and allow you to get a bigger slice of the pie (and poor poor Bezos will have to give out a little of his for that).

And that's how you introduce family to Linux

The Christian edition seems like not 100% joke

Funny that only in full Chinese (or Japanese, since 令和 represents a new emperor era in Japan?) I noticed the month is December.

It's 22nd of November, folks

DD/YY/MM is the devil incarnate

You might've been misunderstood as asking why Edge is not okay

The meme is about state of the Internet and how sites turn to serve Chromium-based browsers first, further deteriorating user freedoms.

Check the grouping :)

Golden words.

Escape.

In abusive relationships you may sometimes feel that living without them is even worse - either due to attachment or financial issues or anything else.

No, it isn't. Any problem can and will be solved - transition will hurt, but, as just about 100% of people who escaped such relationships will tell you - it is worth it.

Your safety, dignity and mental health are worth way more than what you get in any abusive relationship.

Also, bonus points for owning up to your past mistakes. You're doing great!

Nothing wrong with that, it's just that cheating came to my mind first, but it's obviously not the case :)
