well alright, maybe just a little bit moreso. But Windows has been doing shitty shenanigans and prompting a number people to switch for many years, W11 isn’t unique in this regard. Microsoft have long-demonstrated they could reach out the computer monitor and slap every user around a bit with a large trout, and still keep 95% of their user base.
This is how people start believing the free market makes it moral for poor people to just die instead
I don’t listen to anything said by the others, but does Hasan actually support that position? I’m not convinced.
In my personal experience, it absolutely does. Only time I’ve ever had seriously painful dry skin on my hands was when I was out of hand soap for a week. But I do wash my hands frequently.
My last car was 30 years old when I ditched it, the underside was rusted to a point of no longer being safe. Plus the exhaust kept falling off.
A car for more than like 5k. A terrifying stat is that 90% of people in my country buy their car for on finance for >10k, yet you can buy a reasonable used one for no more than 5k anywhere
There are niche circumstances where a pricey car could be worthwhile, lots of long haul journeys, need for fuel efficiency, etc, but 90% of people don’t need or benefit much from that.
I bought my current one for 1k just last year. It’s 20 years old, but it’s in perfect condition and the efficiency is not that much different from modern cars, certainly not enough to be nearly worth the extra money.
That’s very true. Maybe their real use is to change other peoples’ perception. But that’s very… sad to need a diagnosis to do.
I can sympathise with that experience, I guess I can sort of see why you found it helpful. But aye, it certainly doesn’t reflect my own, at all.
Thanks for the understanding and open response <3
As an absolutely autistic person whose parents didn’t bother to get it diagnosed, I really do disagree. Diagnoses are basically just descriptive labels that can help identify potentially useful treatments, that’s it; they’re not some magical blame receptacle.
I think my greatest issue with this post is it implies that if you DON’T have a diagnosable mental condition, but still struggle, then it must inherently mean that you’re stupid, weak annoying, unloveable etc.
But I also think a child will conclude that they’re stupid … unloveable etc, if that’s how they’re taught to feel, with or without a diagnosis. I had many struggles, but my parents never ‘expected’ me to be “normal”, they just supported me and we worked out shit as it happened - my struggles were a result of a variety of behaviours specific to me, my personality, my flavour of autism, etc.
But this is the same for every human being to ever live. A diagnosis might’ve described some of those behaviours, but what would that have changed? I’ll be honest - I’m glad my parents didn’t get me diagnosed, they feared that would just place a wholly new unhelpful expectation on me, and I think they were right.
Obviously a lot of people absolutely benefit from diagnosis, not knocking it, but I also don’t think they’re automatically helpful in all circumstances.
(4/100) * 75 = (75/100) * 4
I actually think the mutability of expressions is an under-taught part of maths until you reach like, constructing high-level proofs. Rearranging numbers into already-understood ones is a very useful skill.
Sure is
Boom, installed, cool addon
A blocklist for malware would be safeguarding. But you can’t claim this is “safeguarding” against… completely safe software?
And it’s not exactly easily overridden, otherwise this post wouldn’t exist.
Sadly, there a few annoying things in Firefox which absolutely are not overridable at all. Firefox is heckin’ awesome, but this just ain’t true.
Almost, but vim can’t display images, doi!
That’s what catimg is for.
As a European, it’s been a long time coming. I would say tide turned in favour of it and both Ukraine and Israel-Gaza have been important factors - Most countries suddenly decided they didn’t have enough sway over public support for Western imperialism. And the big part of that has been the internet.
Sadly all those search engines directly or indirectly censor piracy results. I use DDG daily but they sadly do a lot of censoring results of various kinds, even just political.
Android is already thoroughly Linux-based ;) You just called all android users nerds! 
I’m told my cute’n’calm Hexbear instance means there’s a lot of drama here I can’t see. So apologies if my tone comes off badly in the ol’ .ml context.
Rest assured I was just out for fun conversation to learn about atomic stuff :) Hope the rest of this thread ain’t too stressful.
These are very subjective arguments, and even the objective points are completely subjective depending on your distro.
I mean one of his arguments is that C++ is just inherently insecure. He just takes Microsoft’s claims at face-value that all their pointless shit is the magical security wall that it claims to be. He buys into the same lie that ACE on a Windows, Mac or Android is somehow much much safer than on Linux. Most of his claims that other OSes are more secure are rooted in “well yeah they do exactly the same but at least they knooow they do”.
I’m not even acknowledging ChromeOS - it is Linux, except it only runs a browser.
99% of this stuff also applies to Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS, except moreso and far more universally. And 90% of this stuff is only relevant if you’re being targeted by some state-funded intelligence like the CIA (cold reading your RAM?? minimum 16-character password?? Keystroke fingerprinting???)
So whatever, I think the hardening guide looks fairly accurate, but unless you’re being spied on by world powers, I wouldn’t consider it worth peoples’ time to read, never mind implement. 90% of people are still going to be more secure by cluelessly using Linux instead of cluelessly using the others.
