  • At 3:27: “Linux still isn’t for everybody.”

    Please stop saying this! Linux is for everybody. It’s Windoze that isn’t because that’s where the exceptions lie. E.g., it’s only some people that need 3ds Max or some other niche proprietary software that isn’t supported on Linux. Conversely, the majority of the population simply uses the browser for email, videos, simple administrative tasks, et cetera, for which Linux is perfect and better than anything M$.

    Hypothetically, let’s say Linux Mint came preinstalled on every computer instead of Windoze. People would lose their shit if through an update the UX suddenly became like Windoze.

    Honestly I think ID verification on the Web isn’t a bad thing. I know a professional (highly paid) propagandist in real life which made me fear trolling and masquerading as someone else is way more prevalent than assumed, because trolling on the Web is part of what he does. I’d love to see a forum where I didn’t have to second guess whether users are bots/trolls and there are no people using tens if not hundreds of accounts to skew votes.

    Obviously it shouldn’t be for-profit unethical corporations that handle this, but well-run governments.

    People see what they want to see? I’ve seen content I don’t agree with on several instances but the main reason I’ve got my main on lemmy.ml over Beehaw is because it annoys me greatly that there’s so often posts I don’t see that are relevant to me or just communities that seem accessible but inactive but are actually blocked without the interface saying so. This spuriously makes it seems as if a community is dead.

    To avoid ambiguity: Trump is a sentient lump of metastatic cancer and many right leaning people are limp-dick insecure ignorant assholes.
