Same! Thought of some kind of SMD chip!

Not plausible. You are either lying or lack the skill and experience for handling your system, the latter of which would be okay if you were to admit it.

I think that your priorities are horrible. If the things you listed are enough to get you to abandon GNU/Linux, then FOSS might really not be for you. Also, you describe yourself as tech savvy, but I find that doubtful judging from the experiences you recounted and the non-technical way in which you write.

More powerful decompilers would definitely be a very useful application of AI!

I think that there is more than enough justification for the Arab League to launch a retaliation at this point. I for my part would support it.

Probably because the computational hardware is not powerful enough to implement a (proto) web browser

The problem is that such open hardware projects can mostly only work with the components on the market, and eInk displays (or advanced displays in general) are principally only sold by their manufacturers to the OEMs they have contracts with. We are lucky to have any eInk display available to us at all for these kinds of endeavours!

I don’t get why some people just refuse to use ad-blockers. They work absolutely flawlessly and I have not encountered an experience such as this in almost a decade.

I am not certain whether I can safely upvote or the last part is too weird.

What a stupid line of argumentation. You will obviously always lose if you don’t push back

What do you mean by “extremists”? Not all issues, maybe even close to none, can actually have a reasonable moderate position. An example: If there are people who are in favour of abortion and people who want to outlaw abortion, a moderate position must necessarily not support full abortion rights and therefore is immoral. I think that we actually need more (good) extremism, because in many cases, a compromise is simply unacceptable.

Who says that Meta is not already harvesting our data? Lemmy really is about moving control out of corporate hands and decentralisation advantages, but profiling is insanely easy on the Fediverse, and it really cannot be different because of its inherent interconnectedness. It makes no sense to migrate from conventional social media to Fediverse equivalents if all one cares about is privacy.

It is not rude to advocate for computing freedom and privacy, no, in fact, I think it’s everyone’s duty to carry GNU/Linux into their families and campaign for its adoption.

lol

The problem is not Android. It is as open as any other Linux distribution. The problem is that manufacturers make the drivers for their hardware proprietary.

Not really bad, but as many others have pointed out, the previous logo was better and more recognisable, I see no real reason behind this change

Yep, I think Debian is getting too little love from the Lemmy Linux community

Oh okay. For me, the hassle of coiling the wires and resolving knots was infinitely greater than keeping track of the limited battery life of my earbuds

No. Docker is proprietary

Never identified with something more
