The guys username.

You may enjoy the Perfect Bath.

This isn’t one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

Be respectful of others.

Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

Gonna ignore you now since you don’t have an answer to my question.

1. I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn’t mean I haven’t answered.
2. That’s your right as much as it’s my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

It seems you don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.

Freedom of speech means the government can’t get you in trouble for what you say.

Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want–they’re private entities who’s own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you’re an acceptable entity to keep around.

If you think you’re an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.

Sure it is.

And even if it weren’t that doesn’t make your comment about you getting butt hurt from someone telling you to be better for seeking out where you can be a bigot any less ironic.

Perhaps you should rephrase your post then to indicate you’re actually interested in bigotry affirming instances instead of instances that refrain from being a government entity that controls expression.

They are different.

Pretty much any Lemmy instances I suspect supports freedom of speech. There’s not really any evidence that admins are colluding with the feds to control what you say.

What may be happening is admins deciding of their own volition to not platform certain types of comments. Notably that doesn’t stop you or anyone else from saying whatever; it just means you gotta do it somewhere else, like your own instance.

This is the most ironic comment ever.

As ferret mentioned it was in the past, but they were prominent:

I’m sure there are as many reasons as there are people who dislike Ubuntu, but here’s a few:

• They injected internet ads into search
• To many outside of the community if they have any familiarity with Linux on a desktop, it’s with Ubuntu which kinda places it in a position to newcomers as being Linux itself rather than one particular flavor
• It is very opinionated about look and feel and usability: i.e. their custom launcher and Snaps
• It’s popular
• It has a reasonably large user base so there’s more opportunity for people to find things to nitpick over.

Overall it’s fine. I’ve used Ubuntu, Mint, Puppy, DSL, Arch (btw), Fedora, and Debian. I can do pretty much anything I need to on any of them. I’ve got my preferences about the correct balance between useability, upgrade schedule, and customizability.

Fedora

GNOME looks like it is touch friendly, but try to run it on a tablet and it’s really fucking not. I had to DL a bunch of tweaks tools to make it useable at all and now the tablet breaks whenever there’s a Gnome update that the tweaks weren’t designed for.

Did you accidentally replace your path rather than append to it? You might need to get a recovery drive, chroot in, and reset the path. Not sure what the actual value should be though.

Different operating systems have their own interfaces to allow user level programs (like games) to communicate with hardware. This is a great-over-simplification, but one OS may understand something like “drawTriangle(x, y, z)” while another may expect “drawPolygon([x, y, z])”.

There are software projects to attempt to translate commands meant for one OS for a different OS (such as “Wine” or Valve’s “Proton”) and those work fairly well in cases that: 1) there’s an analogous command, 2) the analogous commands have been accurately mapped, and 3) the analogous commands operate in user space.

That last point is the primary reason why, despite the best efforts of developers, some games still cannot work across OSs. Operating systems are built on top of different levels with the lowest being the “kernel” (of “kernel level anti-cheat” notoriety) and the highest being the user space (where you interact). Both Windows and Linux have these, but the boundaries around them, what they can and cannot do, and how to interact across those boundaries differs between each system.

So when a Windows game installs a driver to monitor everything that your computer does that driver (kernel level anti-cheat) is tailored very specifically to the extremely powerful, low level, and unique Windows kernel. Linux cannot run that natively. If the game pretends that spying on you is an essential component to launch then the game will not launch. If, however, a game is perfectly happy to just stay in user space where it belongs then it will probably work fine with the available translation layers.

There are VoIP options, sure, but not the actual phone bands.

Except the actual phone part.

Very simply:

• A function defines a curve.
• A derivative reveals the slope of that curve at a very specific point.
• An integral reveals the area “under” the curve (the space bounded by the curve and the horizontal axis).

Currently, OpenAl has safeguards in place that prevent this from happening

Clearly not.

Everyone is helped by raising the minimum wage. Increases mean more money for people to spend which leads to more activity in the broader economy and ultimately more confidence and stability.

I’m honestly kind of surprised there aren’t “torrent torrents.” Just distributing a collection of torrents that might be of interest within a given category, say “top 100 movies of 2024.” Once you have the list of torrents locally you are less reliant upon some website hosting them for you.
