I’m quite surprised they actually allowed to stick unknown USB into computer they will be selling to their customers 😮

I think boss was just lazy to think about it in this case and you gave him no other choice thou 😅

It doesn’t seem to be the case with distros like Mint. I even know folks who have Mint but they have no clue about tech or computers at all. As users they can hardly tell difference. And It’s actually easier on them because it doesn’t get all messy as Windows does for non tech folks, so there is almost no maintenance needed. I very much recommended it for granparents and such, so you don’t have to go fixing their Windows PC each visit because they downloaded tons of random danger ware by not understanding what they do.

This picture is wrong. Whole world is shaped like Murica . nothing else is known to man or so they say.

Right, not to mention they also giving back to community by proposing game friendly changes on kernel AFAIK.

If just most games wold run on Linux out of box at least same as on Windows, i can imagine there would be shift in market share.
One of the reason is needless bloat of Windows so even my for-noobs-distro idles around 0% CPU and less the 1gb memory without doing almost any tweaking but Win10/11 constantly sends calls home and idles on 4-6GB of rams. Other thing is how lightning fast linux can be.

Simply high visit rate is not enough. Every site that wants increase organic traffic has to do SEO at some point.

As for second point yeah, exactly fragmentation is frustrating .

I moved to Lemmy over from reddit not because of content or better UI but because people behind reddit seems like jerks to me and i came to realization I’d rather use open source.
What i lack here is information e.g. programming communities in Lemmy are, well, dead. If left on Lemmy things that are “recommended” to me it’s sensational “news” that are aimed to spark woke vs others battle in discussion.

So what to make better ?

• to build what reddit has, I’d call it a content library and i don’t care if it’s done by bots or humans. For me the facts + discussion to ask question is super important.
• if searching for a topic outside of Lemmy> Lemmy doesn’t show up in search engine but reddit does. Some optimization needs to be done to get better score at search engines.
• let users to block instances and thus make de-federation to user’s decision.
• i think there needs to some kind of cross instance community, i don’t think having same kind of community in multiple instances with different content is good solution.

Yep so many people who could have come up with many innovations were deprived of the chance under communism. Nothing against factory workers btw.

Definetly, but not under the regime that built those used as reference.

Nah it’s not, taking away people believe they can built something made most people dull factory workers and those who were extra regime supportive were put in the post to build something but they often didn’t have the abilities . It’s hard to put it into words but you couldn’t have just make startup with nee awesome idea because people in the posts would not let you unless it meant increasing quota.

This is indeed correct but it had dark side, like taking away people’s business or limited freedom of speech.

Not just snoring 😅 👌

I’d say that I’m rather anti communistic but one thing that has never happened in used-to-be communist country i have experience with is starvation.
Actually they solved starvation, built fcking appartments for everyone to live in and gave them to people for free. They also made sure every forgotten village had drinakble water, electricity , gas, shop, train station and bus stop.

Reason why people overthrown them was humans rights repression like taking away people’s businesses to make them state companies. It was not poor the living conditions (for the time).

Isn’t like half of MS ecosystem online only, even MS Office and Teams work via browser. Everything else works out of the box on my Linux Mint ( recommended for Windows to Linux switching users with super frindly forum ) And you can always dual boot.

For me this works best regardless of the field

1. Learn basics
2. then do this for rest of your carrier

                             
     ,.-> Learn more .,      
   .`                  `'    
  '                      \   
 |                        |  
  .                      /   
   ',                  ,-    
     `'' Practise   -'`     

Basically learn bit more -> use it immediately in any project - > rinse and repeat.

I agree with pyramid. Teaching someone else or doing it was indeed the best practice indeed anytime i wanted to learn something better.

Well at one point i lead bunch of those “workers” on real project and oh boy, in some cases, i would much rather have robots do it.

And new circle between adBlocks and antiAdDlocks begins.

I’ve solved it by not buying good PC in adulthood.

Not exactly an answer but you can block communities you don’t want to see.
