Yes. One is also a doctor. She got vaccinated earlier than most of us. Same with boosters.

I'm in Asia. I can't speak for everyone but the people I know distrust the CCP much more than the US government. Sure, the US is far from blameless, but at least over here the CCP has a much worse reputation. I guess that's one factor.

Another is more than a few people seem to think Meta is strictly a private company while tiktok is somehow being used/controlled by the Chinese government.

Not to mention long COVID. Personally know at least 2 people who got it (myocarditis or something? Can't remember).

In puberty? Hannah Montana Linux.

Kim Jong Un is god? Red Star OS. There's a Linux distro for everyone.

EndeavourOS is more like an opinionated Arch install

Fellow EOS user and this is a hilarious yet accurate description. Still have vanilla arch but EOS on my laptop now since I tend to mess with it often.

This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn't choose that community name. Lol.

Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.

“It is simply impossible to solve the issue of inflation in conditions ... when the military-industrial complex receives unlimited funding, when everything they ask for is given to them, when the share of this military-industrial complex in the economy grows at a very rapid pace,”

Fuck Putin and his stupid war. It's always the masses that suffer.

Still waiting for LinusXI Pro Max.

Yep. During my very short (6 mos) stint as a tech support rep for Dell, I've learned to assume your customer is an idiot. Even when they're using techie terms or jargon (and at times more so). Never assume other things besides that or you'll probably regret it.

You have to be very clear and precise. A single misunderstanding can take a simple problem a lot of time to get fixed.

Hamas and other Gaza-based militants launched a massive cross-border attack on southern Israel last weekend, killing more than 1,300 Israeli soldiers and civilians.

I mean, I'm not siding with either Hamas or Israel (they're both aholes from all I've read), but wtf did they expect?

If it's true that the majority supported Hamas and their actions then they truly fucked around and found out. Won't be surprised if we find out Israel has just been waiting for a good excuse to do this.

Honestly, if I didn't need chat apps like Slack for my job I'd be pretty content with one of these. They'd still be good as secondary phones, but unless they can support chat apps (without other online apps like FB, IG, and even browsers - so good luck with that) they can't be my only/main device.

Why? First, because this editorial board doesn’t like getting yelled at. Second, there are going to be way fewer people with way less power mad at us.

I love this article lmao

GD ftw. I read somewhere there's going to be ankther expansion. Is it true? And when?

14 is the new 6. Ngl, he looks young af.

Okay, I'm dumb. I've never used this. It seems it's a script. How safe is it? How exactly does it work? (i want to try it out lol)

This honestly makes a lot of sense. 🤔

I think it's DDG. I forget exactly, but i think I've read somewhere DGG has ties to Bing. Idk the specifics.

As for Brave, yeah. I agree. It's good to be wary. Unfortunately, not a lot of chromium-based alternatives. Linux has ungoogled chromium but security isn't that great either. It sucks, tbh.

One risk of the fediverse is that data is cached locally from federated servers. That could put server owners in legal jeopardy for hosting illegal content.

This 100%. And not just piracy-related stuff.

Tbh, there have been some decisions by lemmy.world admins that i didn't really support, but this one is understandable imo.

I wonder if the lemmy devs are aware of this and what steps can be taken to protect the instance owners from stuff in other instances that can get them in trouble.

Yup same. I was with Qobuz until it started having issues (kept buffering even if there's no problem with my connection). Apple music is buggy on Win 10 and sounded worse than Qobuz so i skipped it. I'm now on Tidal (fuck MQA still) but still looking for goodbetter music streaming services. Netflix can rot.
