Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•So, has age verification really become the new normal?English
7·4 months agoNope not yet, we can still fight it. We can help others figtht it like the Linux and other people in libre/free and opensource communities are. And the best way to fight it is to boycott using any platform or product that requires it and use good alternatives that resist it.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Fedora KDE Spin will be upgraded to Edition statusEnglish
4·2 years agoYeah they are more visible/promoted and offered for downloads on the same equal level as other editions. Otherwise spins and labs can be quite hidden from peopel who do not know they exist.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite matrix client?English
3·2 years agoMy favourite Matrix client is NeoChat.
Agree and hope it brings even better GNU/Linux gaming support, as it is the OS that is in this democratic users/people owned operating system, just as other free as in freedom and opensource collaborative software. In this regard Valve does quite a very good job of improving and sponsoring GNU/Linux, Mesa drivers KDE and other opensource projects. What all other gaming companies fail terribly at. What comes after Valve must be even better at it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily usersEnglish
3·2 years agoWell and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.

Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezesEnglish
181·2 years agoCrashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows RecallEnglish
35·2 years agoThese GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•The most promising Disco Elysium successor studio says workers must unite to topple Valve's 'digital fiefdom' of Steam
79·2 years agoI agree and hope that what comes after it is even better at supporting gaming on GNU/Linux and contributing to various libre and opensource projects like KDE and Proton and Mesa and such.
It takes one to know one. Not much difference, if any, between Microsoft nad Google, and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech.

84·2 years agoBetter to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.
I hope not. Had very bad experience with these and toxicity they enabled on Xitter and one of the main reasons why I left it for mastodon quite early. I would much more like to see if they focused on making it possible to also migrate posts when you change an instance/server.

Oh how I wish those TV manufacturers would get rid of HDMI and replace it with DisplyPort. HDMI mafia does not allow opensource implementations of HDMI specification and so not all latest features of it can be supported by graphics card drivers on GNU/Linux. Death to HDMI!
