It's facinating to see Lemmy go wild, kind of sad how many seem to support dictators with concentration camps and similar shit but also cool how many downvote them!

It's a image format with extremely good compression that's tiny doesn't look bad. As someone who had shitty internet for years I definitely welcome them but as usual with Googles inventions they push it on to everyone and let other browsers catch up.

Oh man, that's a huge potential for trolling right there!

I don't know if it's actually real but I feel like since Corona and the Lockdowns many people are even nastier than before.

Dear climate change, please just kill every single one of us humans!

This might be a little controvercial in american politics community (not so much under europeans but even here it kind of is) but there is no right way to be proud of the place you are born in! You can be proud of partular parts of your system, your society or similar but not the location, that's always fucking stupid!

That's actually very missleading, like most involved companies they tried everything to hide it till the shitstorm got too big and the damage to their image was smaller that way so we shouldn't give them any credit for that whatsoever!!!

The domain bs is a interesting case of scummy practices in general, .tv was missused in a similar way with awful contracts, essentially scamming a already increadably poor country!

I wonder if "upcomming apps" means Fediverse!

Not sure if this is a good idea but as a european I found this American debate to be one of the most ideological and shocking from both sides. Of course guns alone don't cause that, Swizerland and Finnland have tons of them in private hands but they have some kind of social system. It's all of your insanity, from the mental health over total poverty to fucking easy access to really fucking dangerous guns, there is no easy answer because none of this is good and all of it causes violance!

I guess Lemmy users probably also have high sympathies for digital piracy, opposing copyright is very wide spread within the open source community but there are a lot of factors at play here and I'm glad that's the case because I only started to really use it on Lemmy! :)

I can highly recommend Brave search, they have their own index and don't "comply" with the DMCA because it's not actually required for a search engine but sadly also not forbidden. I love it every time piratebay.org shows up when it obviously should and not some scummy fake sites!

Looks like someone just discovered Linux after his Windows install fucked up and had to write about it...

Check out Piped, Invidious, Newpipe and Libretube! ;)

Please don't, they have DMCA issues for ages because people try that but they are legally required to take that content down if they receive a request!

Considering BMW is one of the worse profiteers from WW2 it probably classifies as satire or something else art related!

It's probably unlikely to happwn soon but in that case the only right answer is piracy once they found a way around this shit again!

Yea, they managed to get it back at some point but it was under external control with close to no benefit for them for a long time!

Expensive, fragile and rather useless unless you plan to replace your computer and in that case you just made a bad decition. I think it's a very desperate attempt to hype yet another generation of smartphones no one needs with a gimmick becuase sales go down.

If you want something that "just works" any Arch base won't be a good idea in my opinion. I love Arch but there will be certain things to figure out from time to time and for someone with little experience they can be tough! For you usecase I would recommend Fedora, that's a lot more up to date but not a rolling realease and tends to just work for me.
