I’m good with people feeling how they feel. But the moment someone starts saying they identify as opposite from their birthed biological chromosomes you’ve lost me. I’ll never understand it and I don’t think I ever will. The ones who say “calling me a man when I identify as a woman is an act of war” seem so far out there to me I genuinely can’t continue a conversation with them, and I consider myself a very social outgoing person generally speaking. You want to be a man in a dress or a woman with a beard? Cool! Just don’t expect me to understand.
I love it! I’d move there in a heartbeat!

I don’t think we’ll see a “year of Linux” per say, I think we’re not likely to see either a decade or generational shift to Linux.
I’ve been using Windows and Android all my life, so it’s what I got used to. I’m in my 30’s now and over the last year or so I’ve slowly been introducing myself to Mint Linux on my laptop for basic web browsing and Ubuntu Linux 24.04 on my home server for hosting my own data. In some ways it’s actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, but I’m still learning a new language.
On the one hand I considered myself pretty technically savvy, until I dove head first into Linux and quickly discovered how much I really didn’t know. On the other hand, I am learning as I go given enough repetition.
Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world
Definitely an unpopular and confusing opinion. Lemmy as a whole isn’t sensoring or creating rules for the entire platform. Mods make the rules for their page.

That’s all most of us noobs ever actually ask for, and it’s usually after we’ve gone through all the troubleshooting steps we know to do.

I’ve found LLM’s to be useful as well. I wouldn’t have Jellyfin running on my home server now if it wasn’t for an LLM, and it was the first service I learned how to run. But an LLM has also sent me into a loop of testing out the same few prompts over and over again and expecting different results.

I considered going to a No Kings protest with a sign that reads ‘China is not my king’ and see how many people get it vs get pissed with me.
All joking aside, the only effective protest is one where you change your habits. I’ve deleted my Facebook, cancelled YouTube Premium, when my debit cards update I take audit of what I really want to start subbed to, I’ve replaced Google Photos with Immich, and I’m about to go to farmers markets instead of the big box stores for my grocery shopping.
Some of these are big pivots, others are simply mind over matter. Like, I plan on keeping Reddit until it asks for my ID, so I default to it before I scroll through here. I have Peertube installed but I still get onto YouTube until they ask for my ID. I’m as ready for not being able to access certain platforms as I can be, and I plan on keeping going as long as my ability to stay as anonymous as I want to is threatened.

Because it’s easier and cheaper than actually protecting people.
Data BreachesI can’t imagine going from paying for porn to paying to be humiliated for enjoying porn and thinking I’m doing good.

Exactly!

That’s a fair point.

Hello Linux community.
Because it’s easier and cheaper than actually protecting people.
I can’t imagine going from paying for porn to paying to be humiliated for enjoying porn and thinking I’m doing good.
