Probably he is serious, you can get shadow-banned on TikTok/Instagram/Facebook by posting swear/obscene words on images. Obviously that thing doesn't happen here, this is not China.
It’s really bad because that sort of self censoring spills into other mediums like Teams chats at work. I had a coworker message me and say “I feel like an !di0t right now”
I can't blame people given how many parts of the Internet now engage in automated or semi-automated intransparent censorship. Can't have the general public communicating freely with each other, they might coordinate a revolution or something. So far I trust the fediverse to be relatively immune from that though.
I got auto-banned after commenting on a reddit post because the bot searched my entire post history and found I had commented on NSFW threads in the past! The extra fun part was that I really hadn’t. The NSFW threads were from subs that had turned that flag on for all posts out of protest for Reddit’s closed API debacle. In short, exactly as you describe. Intending to quash the revolution.
People have censorship ingrained in them so thoroughly that they carry it with them at all times, even when it is blatantly unnecessary. Buncha cunts if you ask me!
It's security through small market share. There's just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.
You do know that almost the entire Internet runs on linux? Even Microsoft isn't running very many windows servers. In my humble opinion, if you are running a server on Windows, you are batshit crazy.
I run a winServer, but only to test if our device we develop works with LDAP(S) hosted on winServer->ActiveDirectory/entraID, as well as WinServer->RADIUS->eap-tls
There's more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It's an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.
Much of the security that comes with most linux distros is due to how software is installed. On windows, you typically install random .exe files online and have to put your trust in whoever provided you with the installer. On linux, it's much more common to use a package manager to install packages, which means you are putting your trust in the package repositories instead, which can be policed by the maintainers who can decline to add suspicious packages.
Why do people bother censoring them to begin with? I was regularly saying fuck by the sixth grade. I would have been saying it sooner if I wasn't scared of my parents.
Is it? I wouldn't know, never checked it out. Then I gave the wrong example. I'm still reading quite regularly that some platforms have general profanity filters - maybe even Reddit nowadays?
On the desktop, Windows is the majority. This means that many people around us who we care about (friends, family) are going to be using Windows and receiving the problems associated with it. That's why we (linux users) care when Windows goes to shit.
I've been told if you see a censored meme it's probably because someone took it from facebook.
I dunno what's going on with the moderation over there as I deleted my account nearly a decade ago, back when getting full gore popping up in your feed wasn't uncommon...
It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems "legit" to me.
The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there's a guide on how to verify they're genuine if you don't trust them.
i'm the pirate of the biggest seas but even i wouldn't pirate my os. if im gonna dual-boot, i will buy win10 2019 ltsc. it is survivable, key resellérs have ok deals
Honestly, the way Massgrave works seems less sketchy than random keys from resellers. Massgrave is able to trick Microsoft into giving you a legit license key.
btw if windows 10 dies, windows 11 will be forced on windows users, which is like 10000x times worse (personal experience). This is why i want to switch to linux when i get a decent computer (no, that linux distro i choose can't be further from the "linux will run on everything" quote)
win11 is a major improvement tbh.
process scheduling doesnt suck as much as it used to and bluetooth has AAC support (win10 only has sbc which sounds bad)
defender is much harder to get rid of though (but you can still get rid of almost all online features and telemetry including ms accounts using group policies as long as you have Enterprise or a LTS version)
privacy is even more nonexistent, everything is cluttered and the gui is very inconsistent. And for me, bluetooth usually doesn't work at all after updating for win11
bt is not as good on linux (takes like 10 seconds to pick up my earbuds after i take them out vs up to 2 seconds on linux) but its still a major improvement. the new tiling seems pretty cool but eh didnt end up using it. virtual desktops and dual monitors work a lot better although switching desktops can break taskbar icons (and that bug still hasnt been fixed since release)
For me, preinstalled windows 11 cannot connect to my android phone through bluetooth. Was afraid its hardware incompatibility but it just works in linux
I've used windows 11 once on a mini PC just because that is what was preinstalled and I needed to make sure everything worked. My first impressions of the core UI was actually kinda good except it's windows, so you know literally none of the apps are going to follow the same design, so it really does not matter. I promptly put OPNsense on the miniPC as soon as I saw the 2 NICs show up in device manager.
Exactly my point. Some of it looks nice like KDE, but the rest is just a mashup of different design languages and philosophies that do not mesh together. The disk utility comes to mind as one that is pretty horrible for how important it is.
You wouldn't? It shipped with The KDE-Dragonized version or whatever it's called. I assumed you used that version because it's the most popular version. I was asking if the Garuda devs still ship latte dock with the KDE edition.
Chipping in, I have no idea what Garuda is, but I also hated working with Fedora, probably because I started off on Debian-based systems and couldn't wrap my head around Fedora.
Bazzite, being an immutable distro, is intended where you shouldn't need to use the Fedora package manager, so you instead install applications sandboxed like AppImages, flatpaks, etc. I've been fine with this for my gaming PC, but currently I still use and prefer Debian (LMDE) for my study laptop because I have easier control over it.
Overall it comes down to what you want out of your computer and what works best for you, that's the beauty with Linux, but I thought I'd chip in and mention not to write off Bazzite for being Fedora based, as someone who couldn't get behind Fedora.
I might consider that actually, I was trying to use secureblue instead of LMDE for the better security, and this was part of why I gave up on it. Cheers!
It's awesome. The packages don't matter because you use distro box if there's not a flatpak that works already. I have an Ubuntu distro box for tools for things that don't work on fedora.
It uses ublueos for an immutable which is rock solid. Idk how to explain it well, but it's the only distro I want anymore.
If u do end up trying it and find a package that doesn't work, ping me and I'll get you a command you can run to do it
The root filesystem is immutable, not the entire filesystem. So when you do upgrades and things it's super easy to roll back and you never need to rebuild your entire OS if a package is messed up or something.
Tbh I'm not great at explaining it, I'd just look up a YouTube video for it.
I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally
What's a "FOCK"?
No its fsck
Chicken talk! Fock-fock-fock-fock-AAHF
No, not FOCK, I said FACK.
Its F-word. Just censored "U" letter.
Did you know that you’re allowed to write all the letters in the word F-U-C-K on the internet?
I thought mods could mark this post as NSFW and remove it
Nope, no rule against that. Cuss the fuck away.
FOCK FOCK FOCK!
FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKEDY FUCKED FUCKER
Like that?
Cannot understand if you're serious or trolling.

Y censor harmless words. Aagggggggghhh.
Admittedly that sort of censoring has been used online since forever. Stuff like "pr0n", etc.
oh no, I wont be able to swear on the shit platforms.
How the fock not

You’re berating them for their opinion and can’t understand why they’d self censor?
You should replace the image with the fixed one ;).
Bro it's fucked up that's you think we can't say fuck on here which we abso-fucking-loutely can
People have censorship ingrained in them so thoroughly that they carry it with them at all times, even when it is blatantly unnecessary. Buncha cunts if you ask me!
I have been a Linux user since 1995. Anyone that thinks that Linux is invulnerable is just silly.
And has bad memory, regreSSHion wasn’t even half a year ago
That's the one that avoided any enterprise SSHd, right?
Only people running bleeding edge were affected.
nothing is invulrenable. but good luck finding a vulrenability on openSUSE for example. Almost impossible. But just almost
It's security through small market share. There's just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.
There is an entire Linux server segment - exploiting Linux can be insanely profitable
Can be, but less likely given how ubiquitous Windows is on major systems across all industries.
You do know that almost the entire Internet runs on linux? Even Microsoft isn't running very many windows servers. In my humble opinion, if you are running a server on Windows, you are batshit crazy.
I run a winServer, but only to test if our device we develop works with LDAP(S) hosted on winServer->ActiveDirectory/entraID, as well as WinServer->RADIUS->eap-tls

Why do people bother censoring them to begin with? I was regularly saying fuck by the sixth grade. I would have been saying it sooner if I wasn't scared of my parents.
Probably due to cross-posting to censoring shit-platforms like TikTok.
It's an image. I thought tiktok was just video?
Is it? I wouldn't know, never checked it out. Then I gave the wrong example. I'm still reading quite regularly that some platforms have general profanity filters - maybe even Reddit nowadays?
Garbage platforms then.
Good story, but I don't give a fuck
This post shows, how much you "don't care".
All Linux people on Lemmy seem to talk about is Windows. It's exhausting.
Probably because most of us suffered for ten years or more with windows and we're traumatized by it
Or/and are forced to use it at work
Exactly

This is a linux meme. Clearly it says fsck.
Confirmed

That's the sound a tennis ball makes.
For anyone who really can't leave Windows, you may find the less-bloated LTSC and activation here: https://massgrave.dev/
Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?
Is there any good guide?
It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems "legit" to me.

Yeah I could use ltsc if I rlly needed windows for something, but it doesn't have Microsoft store and stuff but it's fine tho.
That is not a drawback.
True, but some apps are distrubuted via msix
You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.
Oh yeah I seen scripts that re-enable it

the ui is very inconsistent on windows. You can have a time travel when browsing through the settings
Exactly my point. Some of it looks nice like KDE, but the rest is just a mashup of different design languages and philosophies that do not mesh together. The disk utility comes to mind as one that is pretty horrible for how important it is.
Use bazzite when you do. It's awesome
better than Garuda? Bazzite is based on Fedora. I used fedora, and hated it. Basically no selection between packages, it only has a very few amount
Does Garuda still use latte dock? I recall that project being dead.
since when it is dead... It is still an active project with thousands of users, the forum is also active. what is latte dock btw?
I meant latte dock is dead. It's a Mac OS-like dock.
why would i need that
You wouldn't? It shipped with The KDE-Dragonized version or whatever it's called. I assumed you used that version because it's the most popular version. I was asking if the Garuda devs still ship latte dock with the KDE edition.

Garuda is an Arch-based, gaming-focused distro which tries to simplify Arch to a beginner's level
Just use distrobox with Ubuntu or Debian for your tools and such. It tightly integrates with your OS and doesn't sacrifice the immutability
I might consider that actually, I was trying to use secureblue instead of LMDE for the better security, and this was part of why I gave up on it. Cheers!

immutable? does it have an immutable file system? that's a perfect way to fill up and corrupt any storage

https://youtu.be/5w7gG0bMIeI?si=k1XGQDPbHxcborXe
Bazzite uses silverblue with other gaming related features
is it better than Garuda's zstd backups?
I've never used Garuda so I can't comment on that. It just behaves like the steam deck but uses fedora
I just use snapback on btrfs with endeavourOS 🤔 works just as well, I recon, or what is the difference?
I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally
The linux kernel contains more profanity than this meme…
This is true on one hand, but on the other hand, the businesses still using Ubuntu 10.04 with its original kernel would like a word.
You care so little that you made a meme about it, and have now reposted a slightly edited version of it roughly a day later.
fsck
fixed release distros also have a lot of vulrenabilities
I run NT, btw.
Lucky bastard. Try running Windows CE 2.11 and you'll truly know how it feels to be caged.
I'm not one to kink shame, but DAMN!
Ooh, I do care! I'll get one more ext4 drive in my system!
Billions got damaged, huh? That sounds serious.
Fuck
I got caught in the cupspocalypse 3 weeks ago, because there is an unannounced dns vulnerability, do I get to bad mouth the penguin?
Is it because the linux users are clueless plebs just throwing out fancy words they dont understand?
Like ombudsman? That can't be a real position!
