I did not know that. It’s not that I don’t appreciate his enthusiasm, but articles like this do more harm than whatever good he thinks he’s doing.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Google's Youtube now has ads for tobacco products even though it is against the terms of google's service
12·3 days agoJust add it to the “Google doesn’t give a shit” pile. For example, they don’t allow “mass-produced” or “inauthentic” content on the platform and to be fair, they do seem to be cracking down on some, but there’s still a sea of monetized AI slop they have to wade through before we can call this particular policy enforced.
In StatCounter’s latest US numbers, which cover through October, Linux shows up as only 3.49%. But if you look closer, “unknown” accounts for 4.21%. Allow me to make an educated guess here: I suspect those unknown desktops are actually running Linux. What else could it be? FreeBSD? Unix? OS/2? Unlikely.
This is where I stopped reading. “Educated guess”, my ass. Let’s call it what it actually is: wild speculation. ZDnet lets just anyone write articles, I guess.
Man, I hate that phrase. Being a part of one family is already a handful, why would I need another one?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?
4·9 days agoThis already exists, sort of. It’s called Trinity Desktop. However, it’s a fork of an older version of KDE, specifically 3.5.
I did say Xthings is the second laziest name I ever heard.
Xthings is the second laziest, most unimaginitive name for a company I have ever heard.
Well, Salix is based on Slackware, so yes, kinda!

Memes@lemmy.ml•Everyone and everything that doesn't confirm my bias is a Rooski
1011·19 days agoWho are these “lemmy libs”? What are these opinions that seem to incense them? I haven’t seen any posts that would fit this meme’s description and it feels like I’m losing my mind.
I can’t stand it. Consumerism whipped up to a frenzy, certain people preaching about giving to the needy, then not hearing a peep from the same people after January 1st, same Xmas songs over and over and over again… It all just feels fake and I want it to be over.
Can’t comment on either, but I do hate that piano-falling-down-the-stairs background music.

Are desktop shortcuts still a no-no with this distro?
100% agree. I don’t like the smell to begin with, but what’s worse is that the aroma is so powerful, it completely eclipses the taste of whatever food items it’s mixed with.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•People with nothing to hide need not be bothered about surveillance, Supreme Court says
10·27 days agoUgh, so tired of this old argument. Nothing to hide doesn’t mean everything to show. There, now let’s get on with our lives.

I would love to have an analogue of Cecil Harvey IRL. Unfortunately, I see no indication of rebellion from any of Trump’s lackeys.
