Haha yeah. Well I'm an arch user for at least a decade, and i saw manjaro come.. It was very popular in the beginning. Then they started making strange decisions, but I think many people are still happy with it. Otherwise I think endevourOS is doing good. :)

I haven't seen Linux users fights over distros... Ever. We just have lots of choices, and most of them are awesome.

I don't use Google anymore except for Google maps in my car. :) I guess they can spy on where I'm driving. But no search history.

I mean yeah, all these big tech companies are trying to make their products feel faster, because that's the only space they can compete. When it comes to privacy, they all lose.

Well, Google has been caught trying to make their sites slower / malfunctioning on Firefox. Usually they get away with it by saying it's a mistake.

Still the best browser, even though the majority left it for the speed they think chrome has.

Yes. Many people are not trans.

Apple likes to control the entire ecosystem, and wanted to make their own processors to make them more efficient and produce less heat. They succeeded too, the M2 and M3 chips are incredible.

So I think they would have ditched anyone, but Intel probably also made it easier by being so bad. :)

The point is to see the value of the stock go up, so when you sell, you make a profit. Some people buy and sell daily, some do it yearly or only when they need the money.

Money needs to be working for you somewhere to make up for inflation, at the very least.

How can they know if an email is disposable or aliased? I use those all the time with fastmail. Works fine with github.

But fastmail is not exactly private since it's hosted in Australia, part of the five eyes pact. Maybe that's why they are ok with it.

I'm sure conservatives have the same views on the other side, something negative, based in fear. If you think about it, all of politics is fear of change in a direction we don't want, but others do.

In a family when this happens, family members talk about it and try to understand eachother. At least in a good family. In a dysfunctional one, family members go to war with eachother. And that's what I see in politics. There is no feeling of being humans on a ball together at all.

 

Users of lemmy.today are reporting that outgoing federation of posts and comments stopped to work after the update to 0.19.1 about 19 hours ago.

A restart of lemmy software seems to have made it work again for now, but not sure for how long.

In this version its also common with CPU spikes on a regular basis. I assume its the new federation queue that takes more cpu in exchange for being more reliable. But I see a lot of Postgres UPDATE queries that did not occur in previous version. Also sometimes i see ROLLBACK, which I assume should not be happening.

Anyone else has similar issus with 0.19.1?

We need a health checker for this health checker, ok?

Can someone rewrite this in Rust? :P

 

In the land of Big Brother, where they watch every move, They promise you freedom, but they've got something to prove, You're thinking you're free, but it's a digital ruse, With every click, every like, every view, they abuse.

They say it's all free, just sign up, no cost, But they're dealing in data, your privacy lost. Yeah, your likes, your dreams, your soul's the cost, In this world of 1984, we're all just exhaust.

(Chorus) If it's free, you're the product, in the corporate play, You're just a pawn in the game they play, If it's subscription, you're still the prey, Either way, you're a product, every night and day.

(Verse 2) Telescreens blaring, thought police on patrol, They're mining our minds, control is their goal. Newspeak is the language, they're on a roll, In this dystopian dream, they've got us in a stranglehold.

No matter the price, no matter the fee, In this world, my friend, nothing is free. We're all commodities in their decree, In this world of 1984, that's the decree.

(Chorus) If it's free, you're the product, in their wicked game, Just a cog in their machine, it's such a shame, Subscription or not, it's all the same, In the eyes of the corporation, you're just a name.

(Bridge) They sell us convenience, they sell us lies, In this digital age, freedom's the prize. We're trading our souls, for their disguise, In this Orwellian nightmare, we've got to rise.

(Chorus) If it's free, you're the product, it's their master plan, Wake up now and take a stand. Subscription or not, they've got the upper hand, It's time to break free from this corporate land.

(Outro) In the heart of 1984, we find the truth, We're not products, we're the living proof. With every heartbeat, every word, every uncensored thought, We're breaking free from the chains they've wrought.

 

I thought this was kind of a fun way to show discontent with Chromiums added Web Integration - someone made a pull request to simply remove it.

Its already been approved by a lot of us, why not add your approval as well? Click the Approve button and add your name to the list of people supporting the removal.

Google will of course not care but I thought it was a fun gesture.

 

I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

The awesome Taylor Lorenz reports this on Mastadon. Highly recommend to follow her if you like these updates about what's going on.

 

Just sharing this on Lemmy as well for all you amazing neovim users. :)

It's really nice to see this desktop come along. A third proper Linux desktop environment like Plasma and Gnome written in Rust. From system76.

Just loving this project. I think it will become real popular real quick when it ships with PopOS.
