  • I appreciate your write up, but I think you replied to a different comment from some person in Estonia who might or might not have lived under that regime. Either way, Marxism-Leninism had been drilled into me for decades.

  • Dude, you don't know the first thing about communism. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." It means you don't take more than you need. "Rich communist" is an oxymoron.

  • Please explain communism for those who don't understand. I lived in a communist country so it's not for my benefit, but others might be curious.

  • Well, there are Libertarians and libertarians. From your username I gather you're a Libertarian and not just a GOP moron libertarian who might hate corporations but will defend their "right" not to be regulated, while receiving government subsidies.

  • Do you work for Elon Musk? If so get a different job. Are you making a shitload of money? Is not, get a different job. If yes, spare us your crying about delivery fees. Are you Elon Musk? If yes, fuck you. If no, get a different job. I mean you sound miserable and have no life. I'd rather be homeless than live like that.

  • I remember being sick, when swallowing and even talking caused an extreme pain, and fantasising about drowning, I'd shower the inside of my mouth just to wash away the foul feeling of dryness.

  • Scientists? Didn't every critically thinking person know?

  • Microsoft’s big Windows 11 update drops on September 26 with Copilot AI baked in

    Jump

  • I was like you until windows 10. I opted out of that. It just felt like losing control over my computer. Windows 11 even more so.

    Jump

  • I swapped about a month ago. I'm running Ubuntu on desktop and openSuse Tumbleweed on laptop; both with KDE Plasma desktop environment, which makes the transition from windows easier. It's a little bit of a learning curve as the names of software packages are unfamiliar to me, but I'm liking it.

    My partner who never even contemplated anything else but windows did some work on my computer and I expected questions and frustration from her, but alas she did what she needed to do and I doubt she even noticed.

    Mind you, I don't really do gaming.

  • Amazon to introduce ads on Prime Video in 2024

  • Time to ditch Prime.

    TBH, it was a long ago, but this is the last straw.

  • 'Online Safety Bill', the UK parliament undermined the privacy, security, and freedom of all internet users

    Jump

  • I see your point and agree. I use online banking and I trust that my bank doesn't want to compromise my account by adding some back-door. Having said that I have no doubt that should and government agency request access to my financial data, they would do it in a blink of an eye.

    Yes, the law is a bad one and people should voice their protests, but I'm afraid that nothing will ultimately change and we'll have more bad laws in the future.

  • 'Online Safety Bill', the UK parliament undermined the privacy, security, and freedom of all internet users

    Jump

  • I didn't say they're banning encryption, I was just referring to the back-door requirement. An encryption with a back-door is no encryption at all.

    Signal as far as I know isn't based in the UK and hence not subject to these laws.

  • 'Online Safety Bill', the UK parliament undermined the privacy, security, and freedom of all internet users

    Jump

  • It's fairly simple: encrypted software developers will leave the UK, because no one would trust the security of their SW. I'm not sure if there is an exception for online banking, but perhaps this bill will stimulate the mattress industry and encourage return to the old ways of storing money.

  • older laptop distro recommendarion

    Jump

  • I've tried a few distos, but as for you, opensuse is the way to go for me. I got a new ssd to replace my old hdd and it's super fast. The new OS is like a shiny new toy that will keep me entertained for awhile. In the end, I'm just a normal person and won't need most of the features, but it's nice to have them.

  • older laptop distro recommendarion

    Jump

  • To be honest, I don't really care that much. Once upon a time I got excited about updates and new features, now I just want things to work. I enjoy exploring Linux and how it's different, I like seeing the updates come in and it makes me feel safer, but at the end of the day, I'm just a normal user who needs much less than the OS offers.

    Jump

  • The ssd made a world of difference! I don't think the old hdd is dying, the system still worked well with the original win7, but now everything is blazing fast.

  • older laptop distro recommendarion

    Jump

  • I'll keep the desktop with ubuntu and kde plasma and I've installed openSuse tumbleweed on the laptop. The ssd made a huge difference. I've made it dual boot with win7, which I've reinstalled on the laptop and they're both blazing fast. It's a steep learning curve, but I like the freedom of Linux versus the big brother approach of Windows.

  • Germany blocks full Chinese takeover of satellite startup on national security grounds

    Jump

  • Am I the only one around here who thinks that it's a bad idea to let anyone launch thousands of satellites into space and control them privately?

    I think it's time for international satellite treaty regulating use of this technology and the amount of them in space to the benefit of everyone. Either those satellites serve everyone or no one.
