An interesting material it is.

So like, when was the last time someone said they needed to handle the "enemy within"?

Oh wait

A famous image of Joseph Goebbels, nazi propaganda minister

I remember this from history class!

They decreased it?? People always complain about max file sizes being too small.

Also, how is telegram able to offer 2 GB per file and 4 GB on premium? In comparison, that seems astronomical!

I think that maybe losing his job at fox news phased him more than he let on

Trans people should start their own religion and then claim bigots are violating their right to freedom of religion or whatever

Wow, a normal person on the internet. Thank you for existing.

Totally unexpectable!!!

OOH

So that church that I heard was using its non-profit status to create an untaxable 32 billion dollar investment portfolio that got exposed for using 13 shell companies to hide the holdings from the public was a Mormon one! Who could have guessed!

I use an rss reader and open anything I want to interact with in the browser. Lemmy allows you to get your subscribed communities feed as an rss feed! None of the hacky workarounds you have to use on Reddit

  1. Idiot proofing
  2. Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
  3. Idiot proofing
  4. Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
  5. Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people

I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.

Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I'm sure everyone knows by now.

Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That's for a reason.

I sure don't, let the mods see it for their communities but not for everyone

Not the username I normally use, but I like it

Cookie jar... I will use that term from now on

Alleged and mostly bullshit from the Telegram founder it seems.

cough cough I... I was there cough during the beans

Telegrams billionaire founder claims that he is bankrolling the thing with his personal wealth. I'm pretty sure he also claimed at one point that the average user cost them $6 per year, or something along those lines.

Use an rss feed reader, it prevents duplicates, but it might be annoying to use if you interact with post a lot

RIP Cohost

If your name and depictions of you still remain in existence then the concept of you does as well. As long as the concept of you remains that means you can still influence the world with said influence having your "signature", so to say.

Most people like to have the ability to influence the world.

An arbitration committee you say? This is giving me Wikipedia vibes.

Windows update would always start doing stuff whenever I turned on my PC and would slow it down to a laggy crawl until it finished. This increased the pressing the power button to doing what I need to do time to 15 minutes.

I knew that Linux updates worked differently so I tried it out. And I was right. Oh so right

Wow, the emerald mine heir that wants to go to mars is getting support from the ex-KGB agent with a penchant for poisoning. I honestly don't know why I expected anything different

Wasn't there some controversy about Signal's creation being supported by the US government to provide private communications for anti-us-enemy organisation or something? I'm sure I remember it correctly...

Good

Scientific consensus is still a thing. You can find out what a majority of well accepted studies say, whether something is controversial or not. Sure, some all new discovery in nuclear physics might not have consensus yet but whether you can feed cats a plant only diet should. If it doesn't thats probably because everyone assumed that was a dumb thing to research that wouldn't provide any unexpected results.

Some believe that competition is finally ramping up.

We have color and okayish refresh rates now!

Ooookkay,
