The Dislike to Ubuntu
  • I only joke about Arch being the superior distro because, well, I use it and because it’s apparently a thing.

    I actually don’t have any strong feelings about Ubuntu. It’s a distro. It works. I only use Arch because of the AUR (I’m lazy, okay?). I don’t have strong feelings about it either. Linux is configurable to basically exactly what you want. Once (or if) you get into customization you just pick the distro that allows you to get to what you want faster.

    I do have strong feelings about Windows though.

  • Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be blacklisted, cite OSHA, setting medics for failure
  • Yeah, there was a point in my life where I liked Mr. Beast. Then I came upon a video where they were trying to imitate gangsters and thugs and I got a racist vibe from him. Since then, I’ve been really hesitant to support him.

  • Elon Musk’s popularity plummets to 6% among Democrats, poll finds
  • It was news when he bought the platform. It was news when advertisers boycotted his platform. It was news when it first became a far right cesspool. It’s news when X finally capitulated to the Brazilian government.

    His approval rating doesn’t matter and isn’t news. His continual support of far right figures isn’t news unless he is supporting someone new.

    Do we report about Steve Ballmer or Tim Cook’s approval ratings? No. Because it doesn’t matter. It’s not news. Stop giving Musk attention he doesn’t deserve. We shouldn’t be talking about him. He craves the spotlight. Don’t give it to hin

  • Alternative to VMWare

    Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it's now owned by oracle

    I like cars but…

    I can’t help but think that cars (EV included) just aren’t the answer. I feel like bikes aren’t the answer either. I feel like the metro and high speed rail are.

    Most people don’t drive because they like driving (US), most people drive because they have to. And that sucks. You shouldn’t feel like you’re forced to drive. Because that’s auto insurance and auto registration that you have to pay.

    You can’t eliminate roads altogether. You need at least one or two lanes for fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc. but you can create pockets of no car zones.

    People like me who like cars, should be able to have places we store our cars. We should have places where we can explore the limits of our cars instead of driving through traffic. But that should be a strictly extracurricular activity.

    In the no car pockets, you should be able to walk to a grocery store, hardware store, that has what you need. You should be able to have mixed zoning. Single family units shouldn’t be the norm. If I own a car but it’s not my dedicated form of transportation, I can buy a cooler car and I don’t need a garage next to where I live to store it. I can store it outside no car pockets so that I can take public transport to my car and then take my car to the track.

    Yes, it’ll take awhile to get there but why aren’t we doing more to that end? Am I too idealistic?

    Why do so many lemmy instances have non-traditional TLDs?

    I’ve seen:

    • .ml
    • .social
    • .world
    • .cuz

    Is it due to cheaper registration and/or renewal fees? Or are there simply more availability on those TLDs?
