Lol. Do you really think that Trump became president because the Left critizized Clinton too much?
I thought the Unreal Engine was running native on linux, last time I checked... 17 years ago...
Can someone explain what the chad is referencing?
That's what Samsung tried with Dex. You could even run an honest to god (emulated) Linux on it. Unfortunately, it didn't work out and no one knows about it today.
Isn't that the same thought process that could lead you to mass murder a bunch of folk? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Looks like religious conservative "pro-life" propaganda to me. ಠ_ಠ
Cool that you weren't scared away by all the Toxicity in he other comments.
We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

The other comments are quite sarcastic and I want to give you a bit of a less antagonizing response why Steven Pinker is kind of a hack.
He more or less "cooked the books" when it comes to explaining how much good capitalism helped the people around the world by doing very selective data analysis. In the end he really advocates for being complacent with the status quo and basically argues for the argument of Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan (which has been disproven a lot by anthropologists.
These videos are quite long but go into more detail:
And if you prefer to read: I'd recommend The Dawn of everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow.
I sawa video on MessageEase and thought it was neat. Also, I hate legacy problems like QWERTY... And things like qwerty on phone screens.
Should've thought. 😅

Why are you mad that I call your stuff about "competition" and "inefficiencies" a "liberal narrative"? That's what the liberal market economids are supposed to be. How did you interpret it exactly?
I agree that it doesn't achieve anything... But jeez, let people have their fun. It's not like anybody confuses this shit with actual activism.
Hi! There's no Surface on Linux Lemmy community (yet), but I didn't feel like asking on reddit, so I thought that this community is my best bet.
I was thinking about getting a surface go, since I really like the form factor and have fond memories of my old Surface Pro 3 in Uni.
Now, there's a deal going on, where they're selling the tablet for under 300€, but it's the low-spec one with 4GB RAM and the weakest processor. I was wondering if I would be doing myself a favor by getting a tablet with these low-end specs.
My usecases would be: Note taking with rnote/xournalpp, surfing, reading, youtube and maybe some light coding.
A FOSS system with encrypted home directory is essential for me, which is why I'm not even considering Android/Apple tablets.
I think I'd give Fedora Silverblue a shot, because Gnome is supposedly great for tablets and it seems more stable to fuck-ups. But maybe the meager storage space (64GB) makes this infeasible
Do any of you have any experiences with these low specs? Or even with a Surface Go 2 in 2023 daily use?
Hi there! I like to listen to the "Slightly something else" podcast. Although it is gaming-related, they have these ad-segments that have some kind of targetting, as it is always in the language from where I've downloaded the episone.
Yesterday I was really surprised that the ad seemed very well targeted, because it has been referencing a very specific topic concerning my flatmates and me that doesn't have anything to do with gaming.
My first theory was that my IP was correlated with search terms my partner googled in my home IP (I search with searxng). But then I realized that I've subscribed to another podcast related to the advertised topic. (also: the episode with the advertisements was downloaded via mobile network)
So... Apparently, spotify (where slightly something else is hosted via anchor.fm) analyzes the podcasts I subscribe to via rss feed. Is there any way how I can avoid being profiled? Is this the reason why I'd start using a commercial VPN?
Edit: I'd like to reply to your comments, but my lemmy instance won't display them correctly. So I'll try to answer here: I'm already using Antennapod with rss feeds for download. That's why I was so suprised and pissed that the ad was so obviously targeted.
Tito Puente famously created a song commemorating that Monty Burns is an evil old man.
That's the only Tito Puente Song I know.
Hi! I want to try out fedora workstation in the near future (once 39 is out) and was wondering if systemd-homed is ready for everyday use yet.
I'm a bit paranoid and really need my private data encrypted. However, I don't think that full disk encryption is practical for my daily use. Therefore I was really looking forward to the encryption possibilities of systemd-homed.
However, after reading up on it, I was a bit discouraged. AFAIK, there's no option to setup systemd-homed at installation (of fedora). I was an Arch then Manjaro, then Endeavour user for years but don't have the time/patience anymore to configure major parrts of my system anymore. Also, the documentation doesn't seem too noob-friendly to me, which also plays into the time/patience argument.
Is it ready? Can anyone seriously recommend it for a lazy ex-Arch user who doesn't want to break another linux installation?
Thank you in advance. :)
Hi!
I'm about to upgrade my homelab from a RAID1 with two 8TB drives to a new one with two additional dives. I mostly use my homelab for Nextcloud (Documents, photos, audiobooks, ...), media storage, jellyfin and whatever docker container I think would be cool to self host.
Since data availability is less of an issue for me and Backup Space is limited, I'm thinking of ditching the RAID in favour of btrfs and for additional safety: use one of my 8TB drives as a Snapraid parity drive. At least for the personal nextcloud data - I can get the media files from elsewhere in case of data loss.
However, tutorials of btrfs with Snapraid are a bt thin on the ground and with this being my first time using btrfs, I'm a bit hesitant. Some people suggest MergerFS with btrfs + snapraid, but I fail to see the advantage of MergerFS with btrfs.
So... is this actually a good Idea? It seems to me that this would be a good tradeoff and I could wait a bit before the next time I need to buy a storage upgrade.
Thanks in advance. :)
