https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, social democrats, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.[5][4]

How is censorship a popular opinion on lemmy?? What does lemmy censor??

Other two i agree with.

no socks, but not as sensory issue

socks just aren’t practical or useful. they make walking on some floors annoying, and since I go outside in sandals/slippers (this is my sensory issue, normal shoes are never comfortable) I’d have to take them off and on frequently. I don’t need the warmth where I live.

Pro-tip: don’t install Windows, don’t use any “debloaters”, just install Linux Mint

You’ll enjoy a long and happy OS life.

I don’t want over 60fps anywhere, ever, at any time. Rendering 120 or 144 frames per second is over twice as much to process, with no noticeable improvement.

I got this email from Microsoft a month ago

I have never had a Windows PC, I use Mac (I want to use Linux but I’m still waiting for Asahi Linux to have a driver for DisplayPort over USB-C), my photos are backed up and synced on iCloud already.

I don’t use any Xbox thing, I don’t have an Xbox; My Microsoft account only exists for one purpose and reason: Minecraft made me migrate my account.

Also isnt not having an unsubscribe button illegal?

Finder is ass, no feature to get filepath, no feature to open location in terminal, no way to go to parent folder (the button that looks like it does this actually is a “back” button that takes you to previous location).

Also you can’t quit Finder for some reason. On my Debian VM I can quit Dolphin. Finder is probably embedded to show files on the desktop. (I’ve never understood having the desktop be a directory, seems like bloat to me.)

Overall the DE is a lot worse than Plasma:

• Why isn’t the Dock (taskbar that eats 300 to 1200 MB of ram) a screen edge for moving windows
• Why won’t you let me customize stuff
• Why are app actions in the DE top bar rather than the window name bar

It’s also a walled garden that intentionally makes compiling apps for it hard for small devs (you need to be verified by apple to have your app not be flagged as “probably a virus”)

The only good thing about MacOS is that it is a very stable OS that rarely needs fixing.

I’m installing Asahi Linux as soon as it supports DisplayPort over USB-C.

KDE Plasma

moist and keybread

Didnt want to name specifics because they might not exist for certain browsers, but you can search “archive” and there will be many

i read this as a tone marker

Proton is not a linux distribution it is a compatibility layer for Windows apps to run on Linux.

For a linux beginner I’d recommend Linux Mint definitely.

Your “Games are the only software that it is acceptable to pay for” take is based

VPNs are not a good option. Use Tor. The problem with VPNs is that you can’t prove that logs aren’t kept, companies are not trustworthy. A “VPN” is a “Virtual Private Network” and the system is intended for accessing a private network, not for accessing the internet. “VPN” companies’s products are not VPNs they are encrypted proxies.

You can access YT content via Invidious

https://invidious.io/ is the project page

https://inv.nadeko.net/ is my preferred instance

You said you fixed it with a script did you remember to disable the script

You should remember to send all YT videos that you watch to archive.org

There are browser extensions to do this conveniently

Oh i see

it is a parody seemingly, according to @gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de’s comment

It seems to be a meme/parody instance

Probably a meme instance / parody

Then people move to Linux
