Because it shows that a sizable amount of people are at least anti-nazi enough to move platform.

Yes, it would be nicer if they moved to mastodon, but nobody even knows what that is, nobody is there (classic chicken and egg problem), and people get confused by the whole “choose an instance/server” thing.

Is it not ok to have a small celebration of people moving to a better, more positive platform, even if it is far from perfect?

No shit? It’s run by ex-Twitter people, and Musk has brought a flamethrower to TwitterX.

Ok that’s actually pretty funny

I’m usually a defender of opt-out telemetry in Linux, what with it usually being trivial to untick in the installer, the telemetry not being invasive, the telemetry being private and not being able to identify people, it being used to actually benefit Linux rather than make money, and because opt-in telemetry is useless (as repeatedly stated by multiple Linux projects that I trust, such as KDE and Gnome)…

That said, holy shit this telemetry collects stuff it really should not be collecting. This is not what Linux telemetry should be. Doubly so from a distro with a troubled past in terms of management and security. This is a red flag.

Whoopsié

Surely a yard (3ft, ~90cm) is the most equivelant to a metre, not a foot

No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

People didn’t just mass-destroy CRTs in 1999…

I bought an LCD TV in 2006 (a Sony Bravia that is still going strong) and that was earlier than most people I know switched

Having to regularly plug your phone into a PC to back up 100GB+ of photos and videos over a USB 2 connection is not even remotely the same as automatic backups to iCloud that you can then access instantly, at any time, anywhere.

There should be the mandatory inclusion of a set of open APIs that pass info like:

• display and audio signal (duh)

• microphone audio (to pass voice commands)

• whether the headlights are on (to offer auto dark mode switching on the display)

• whether the handbrake is engaged (so things like video playback can be a parked-only feature)

• crash sensor activation (so that a phone could, if the user desires, automatically alert emergency services)

• For EVs, battery SoC (so that navigation software can include charging stops seamlessly)

• whether the car is left-hand-drive or right-hand-drive (so on-screen buttons can always be close to the driver, not on the wrong side)

From there on, there can be actual competition in the space. You’re not just limited to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Any app would be able to use this API data.

I know they aren’t equivelant. Yet you treat them like they are.

I’m not.

Yikes.

Thank fuck you don’t have kids.

Oh look, a tankie.

Sorry, I don’t subscribe to your misguided arsekissing of China – a genocidal dictatorship that openly wants to invade Taiwan.

Same goes for Russia who you also seem to be fond of.

I hate this saying because a large amount of the time it really is malice.

Heroic Games Launcher has been improving a lot, now having install scripts like Lutris, more platforms available, and a lot less janky than it used to be.

Bottles I don’t have much experience with for games, but it’s a really good program a lot of people use, and if you like Libadwaita apps it’s pretty amazing.

If you only need Lutris as a game launcher (rather than the install scripts, WINE/Proton-GE, and such), Cartridge is a nice little GTK4/Libadwaita launcher too. But it is just that - a launcher, nothing more.

Whoa settle down there, Charles Benedict Davenport

You can compare equatable things…

Now I know you’re trolling. But that’s better than someone who genuinely does think child rape is fine, so that’s good.

You did equate them.

I hope you are never around children.

Honestly, this is a no-brainer from Taiwan’s POV. The second our economies can get by without Taiwan is the second various governments start questioning whether it’s worth it to ally with them, especially with China trying to undermine Taiwan and anybody who supports them all they can.

In a bizarre way, semiconductor manufacturing for Taiwan has become like nuclear weapons are for other countries.

They’ve made themselves effectively uninvadable because doing so would be an absolute catastrophe for everyone else, including the aggressor.

It’s shocking how much it lines up with MAD doctrine, yet in a completely non-lethal way.

I want advanced semiconductor manufacturing to be less centralised, but Taiwan would be foolish to give up this leverage and security.

You’ve done it every comment where you compared them, as if they’re equal.

You’re either a troll or someone I would not be comfortable having my kids around.

“on the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.”

It takes a bit of mental gymnastics to assert that on the second day of Christmas he did not send two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

If I said yesterday I gave my friend a pork pie and today I gave my friend some spaghetti and a pork pie, you would not come to the conclusion that my friend did not receive a second pork pie.
