Phew, thankfully everyone follows appropriate procedures and doesn’t just roll out beta updates to production in their systems.

Right?

Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn’t be the first back door that’s live in Linux systems.

Immediately noticed even though the packages have been out for over a month?

Easily could have stolen a ton of information in that month.

He was very much the Elon Musk of his times, and it’s very possible he would have gone down the same route of extremist views and decisions that completely failed because of his egoism.

Cheers.

Sync didn’t use ro have ads (or maybe I was blocking them successfully) but now it does. So will try something else as fuck ads.

I’m curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?

Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.

Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you’re tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.

I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.

I’m in the same boat as you. It’s a waste of time for me, but others seem to need it.

It’s worth noting I have autism though. So social interactions don’t do much for me.

Yeah, there’s some heavy hopium in this discussion. “What if Linux has exponential growth forever, 40% every quarter?” type garbage.

A lot of it is political at end of day.

Taylor Swift is looking to be a supporter of the Democratic Party in US, so the Republicans are running targeted attacks on her to reduce credibility as the election is coming up.

It’s nothing new but just be aware that people posting these memes may just be bots/paid marketers essentially.

Lol they’re so kooky omg! We just have to go inside for a coffee!!

Yep… Turns the post from somewhat interesting/meaningful to preachy and judgemental.

There are more words this didn’t work for than words this does work for…

Well the simple reason is you can get stuck in certain world views or ideas which are wrong and hurt others.

In most cases you’re fine, like talking about your favourite TV shows or whatever. But it’s also easy to get stuck in a view like visiting your country’s instance and it turns out it’s a bit radicalised against immigrants, or certain places where you end up blaming everything on women and the “woke movement”.

In a lesser way it can get you stuck in toxic ideas (e.g., PC/Playstation/Windows/Xbox/Linux is better than the other one and you are dumb if you disagree!).

Just depends on the community at end of day, but the more echoey chamber it is, the more likely you’ll end up with those sorts of us VS them world views that are a bit blind and horribly biased.

That’s generally not a good thing…

That means it’s more likely to be an echo chamber or just bots auto posting…

You want a lot of diversity - within specific groups sure, the same names are fine but across groups that’s a bad sign.
