in response to Windows 11 users getting mad about a pride icon appearing on their task bar.

I didn't hear about it, but the usual thing is that people get annoyed if you add unsolicited useless icons in the taskbar, especially if you do it with motivations related to politics or ideology.

If anyone is naive enough to think this is going to support us in any way, I encourage you to just do something like change the wallpaper, and never run random executables, ever. Or, you know, you can also do something that has SOME impact.

First community rule in the sidebar:

Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology

Aha, that's what I meant by vilifying. Just bullshit, ad hominems and straw men. Pathetic.

Do you consider literally anything under an open source license to be relevant to open source ideology? I'm sure that if I make a folk replacing the flag with nyancat, davel@lemmy.ml won't come to tell me that I should change the license and make warnings to those who report it, but to delete worthless nonsense.

This is the same thing, and only holds up because lgtb related things generate controversy, either by X-phobes, people like the OP who use us as virtue signaling with low effort content, and of course those who are afraid to point out nonsense for fear of being vilified as X-phobes.

So, you got banned from lemmy.world for transphobia, and you come here to do the same thing, whine and insult?

as we’ve worked extensively to optimize performance and deliver the best possible experience on these devices.

Hard to believe.

"Mounds of wastepaper and filth will soon be scattered over the border areas and the interior of the ROK and it will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them," North Korea's vice-minister of defence Kim Kang Il said

They are truly diabolical. It is an unprecedented escalation, I think they are one step away from total war.

Dual boot, although I usually prefer to drop it rather than go to the trouble.

I wouldn't recommend virtualization, not only do you lose performance when you need it most, but (depending on the devices and system) setting everything up properly can be very tedious.

No, that is a hoax. International law revolves around proportionality and civilian security, explicitly protecting civilian medical facilities and their medical personnel. They are not invalidated according to the crimes of the other side.

In fact, this would still be a war crime even if there was a nuclear silo under the hospital. You might wish it was, but that’s not what the law says.

You gave an example where it is possible to install linux and only basic functionality is required, but what do you think happens with almost all mobile devices?

When it is not possible to change OS/ROM, or they are old, there is no alternative... apart from being stuck with an obsolete OS and apps full of known bugs. Or are you "competent" enough to develop everything yourself?

There was another noteworthy case with Stanislav Petrov.

Secure boot is still problematic, but it has also become much easier thanks to sbctl; in the best case you only have to delete the keys in the bios and run 3 or 4 generic commands.

Isn't it obvious? There is a certain probability, which may or may not be equal to zero, that there was a terrorist there. Therefore, the children who might be nearby are accomplices of terrorism, therefore terrorists, therefore valid targets. They are just killing terrorists, so why are people complaining?

I really hope it is not necessary but, just in case: /s

“Everyone” who wants to be informed, but linux is also for the unconcerned or for newcomers.

Not to mention the monopoly that nvidia has on laptops.

Sorry if I'm being rude, but in a context where threats of destruction and announcements of new missiles are the norm, suddenly throwing garbage bags into your neighbor's yard and saying “will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them” strikes me as too funny! Like a parody of a B-series villain.

Flathub maintainers do not upload anything, they just write a manifest pointing to the official source and flathub does the rest. They also cannot modify it freely, approval is required.

Archinstall is not at all newbie friendly, especially compared to calamares and endeavourOS setup. Also, having a usblive is very convenient in case of problems.

If you don't have advanced knowledge nor want to customize it very thoroughly, I don't see any reason to use arch over endeavourOS. I mean, other than the fun of experimenting with the innards of linux, testing your frustration tolerance, and ending up being able to say "I use arch BTW".

Thanks, too bad :-(

On the other hand another one I came across is on the whitelist, freegogpcgames; although the OP won't like it since it uses torrent.

I noticed that while using phind and perplexity. Its context is vitiated with results from sites that rig SEO, which are almost copy/paste with the same garbage, so instead of answering the question it makes a useless summary of them. Even asking chatgpt usually gives more correct answers.

"Losing protection" refers to the total overprotection granted by the above article, do not pretend that this grants carte blanche. The rest of international humanitarian law and other laws still apply, including the rest of the geneva convention.

That same article establishes clear limits of proportionality which they did not comply with, and even if they had complied they have violated so many others (have you read the news?). This attack is flagrantly illegal, and is one of the most moderate they have had against hospitals.

They could also perform some additional iterations with other models on the result to verify it, or even to enrich it; but we come back to the issue of costs.

Don't wait for it, usage data is valuable to them.

Bah, a bad copy that pretends to impersonate a product, in order to sell personal data.

gogunlocked seems to match those requirements, but I came across it recently. Has anyone verified the site or its reputation?

So, the same thing that rangers (mostly men) have always done?
