TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
Isn't it a benevolent dictatorship with Linus at the head?

[@fediverse](https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) Fediverse user growth jumped to \~50'000'000 users. What happened ?
Reply in thread
Someone was testing a program they made that links Lemmy / Mastadon (ActivityPub) to other services, think threads or Reddit.
When they ran the program it created all the dummy accounts and published it to the Fediverse making it look like a lot of new users joined.

Healthcare solved rule
Reply in thread
TBH it was hard for me to wrap my head around Europe's healthcare, I've was always told that it was similar to where I'm from (Scotland) but I would read about insurance and employer healthcare and be really confused, since up here everything (prescriptions, glasses, teeth) is free and there's no insurance.
There's been stories of tourists asking where to pay / show their insurance card and the receptionist at the hospital would shrug and say that they don't know what to do.

That sort of rhetoric always feels sexist to me. The implication is that trans women shouldn't compete since those with XY chromosomes have some sort of superpower that means they'll beat those with XX.
The quote "Trans women can compete in sports as long as they don't win." always stood out to me.

Ye, let's ignore climate change and kill millions of people so that small businesses can stay open.
Which is already not a definite fact, but even if it was the same regulations can be written in such a way that grants exceptions to small businesses and funding to alleviate retooling / development costs.
If your so worried about small businesses closing down because of regulations, a better way of dealing with it isn't to stop all regulation.

It's an initiative to stop game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc) from being able to decide if you can play a video game that you've bought. The example used is for the video game "The Crew" which was an online-only racing game. After the servers were shutdown by Ubisoft, the game that many people bought became unplayable.
What StopKillingGames wants, is that any company that publishes / develop games provide a way for people who own the game to continue playing it indefinitely. This would most likely come in the form of a game server that could be run by any owner of the game, and shouldn't be a requirement that publishers / developers run the servers forever as that would be unsustainable.

Macron Ready to Send Troops to Ukraine if Russia Approaches Kyiv or Odesa
Reply in thread
Complete speculation but I'd bet that the UK government is so fickle that if France sent in troops then the UK would 'have' to send in its own, and by that point the US MiC would be complaining that the US hadn't sent them in.

If you look at every interaction with a Redhat developer in the context of them having KPIs / set work to do. The responses to non critical issues / MRs makes a lot more sense.
Not saying that it makes it any better tho.

I really like their local translation models. Simply saying "no AI!" feels very luddite to me for such a broad category.

Let's not be xenophobic. Humans can be shitty, no need to marginalise entire countries. Heads of states and ruling parties are the ones to criticise.
