Right? If this isn’t a sign that Facebook and Meta is going to shit, I don’t know what is.

Oh hey, I have question for you then. Are you using any braille system with your computer? Or is it a kind of voice reader thing you have going on? What do you use for reading posts and comments on Lemmy?

No it’s not going to be like that. I think they’re going to exchange patents and things like that to catch up to the EV markets. The Japanese are very conservative when it comes to technology, believe it or not. Because of the older people being higher in hierarchy. They don’t like change and disruption. Meanwhile in Korea and China, things have been moving fast and following the trends.

Ubuntu is ok. I don’t think new users would care much about whether their apps are snaps or not.

Debian is ok only if someone wants to put in the time to learn.

If you want to switch to Linux, you will have to learn how to use the command line. That’s basically mandatory. But you can still use a Linux desktop with minimal terminal usage.

My best recommendations for newbies is:

1- Linux Mint

2- Ubuntu (Or preferably Kubuntu in my opinion as it’s more Windows-like)

3- Debian Stable which is the distribution upon which the two previous ones are built upon, but it’s a bit rough around the edges and lack some quality of life tools to make it a bit easier to use, like a tool to detect your hardware and download and install relevant drivers and also installing proprietary codecs for multimedia. Whereas Ubuntu variants and Mint have this out of the box. But, the reward in the long term is a solid, no-bullshit, no-bloat, stable Linux OS with minimal problems. It’s worth the extra work in my opinion.

So, sociopaths? I met a few with whom I had very bad encounters and this is the exact tactic they all used.

That’s right! Some do have that service.

Yeah they have both. Depends on what people donate.

Yeah I know. 😓

Oh sweet!!!

Did you guys know that your local public Library has DVDs?

He can San Fransuck on deez nuts!

I’m now recommending family members and relatives to switch to Macs if they’re not willing to install Linux on their PC.

I’m trying really hard to educate them about how intrusive Windows 11 is. But in the end, it’s like Facebook or whatever. They just don’t care about their online privacy and how their personal information is handled. Sometimes I don’t even know why I try.

I use Firefox with ublock on my phone and I get no ads. Or I watch them in Newpipe.

Yeah I know. ☹️

Yeah but I haven’t found any information saying they provided any services or anything to them so …

Fedora is RedHat. RedHat is IBM.

IBM is supporting Israel and the IDF in their genocide.

Use OpenSUSE.

This will never not be sci fi to me lol

The retro futurism of the 80’s was the best
