That’s fair. I appreciate that every instance host has the right to moderate their community any way they want however moderation rules should be clear and consistent. Banning people for posting respectful criticism of communism is inconsistent with the rules of lemmy.ml

I’m not defending these people. I’m saying illinformed hot-takes are common on the Internet. However they are an useful opportunity to understand an opposing perspective even if they’re based in factual inaccuracies.

In my experience, most people are great. If a stranger has a wildly opposing opinion to myself, it’s rarely because of differing values and more likely because of differing experiences.

Everyone that has been on the Internet for more than a few days has an illinformed hot-take floating around. You can learn something for a perspective even if it’s not based in fact. Read with compassion and you don’t have to believe everything you read.

My daily driver used to be a MacBook Air running Linux. Apple hardware is amazing, I don’t give a shit about the logo on my laptop. I only switched to MacOS for a daily driver when I started working for a company that gave me a MacBook pro so I sold my Air which was just gathering dust.

I use Ubuntu on most of my servers and dual boot my gaming rig with Ubuntu Desktop mainly to host LLMs. I’ve been a Linux user for 25 years, I remember playing around with Red Hat pre 2000. Right now though, I want a solid distro that supports lots of hardware (my network consists of x86, ARM, Oracle Cloud, SBCs, etc), has a large community for support, and isn’t likely to get abandoned. Ubuntu solves that

The neck beards that judge someone’s distro choice without knowing their use cases don’t represent the Linux community. Just use the best tool for the job

Your voice is great

I find I have much less Internet fights in the fediverse than I used to on commercial “social” media. Reddit and Facebook would bring out the worst of my pettiness 😅 I have had many lovely conversations on here.

That data is available is the ActivityPub but as far as I know, you don’t have access to the vote data as a Lemmy user. You would have access to this data if you were running your own Lemmy server.

But honestly, let it go. Someone stole fake Internet points from you. It costs you nothing but it cost them 5 minutes of their lives. You’re having a fight with some stranger that doesn’t value their own time. Value your time and stop feeding these kinds of energy vampires. You deserve better! Have a wonderful day my friend :)

Did someone get in a petty Internet fight?

I used to get shin splints so now I only jog on jello

This thread is a rollercoaster 🎢

What’s the deal with name calling in a headline? Can we stop normalizing this behavior?

No. I reverted back to Windows 10 Pro for my gaming machine after Windows 11 Pro prompted me that it was “international bubble tea day”. Don’t get me wrong, I love bubble tea, I just don’t care for these distractions when I’m trying to use my PC.

B for sure. Consider a long pole (stationary relative to the track) entering the portal at the front of the trolley, it would leave the portal at the speed the trolley is moving.

To be fair, fire is dehumidifying

This smells like burnout. I would suggest taking a break. Can you take a semester off? Maybe go travel? Working holiday somewhere?

Yeah, I’ve lost all faith in Google and the direction they’re taking Android and the Internet

After over a decade on Android I’m going to switch to an iPhone for my next phone (once they go USB c). I have always bought flag ship Android phones and I haven’t been impressed lately. Awful customer service from Google with my latest Pixel 6 was the last straw. I don’t mind playing extra to make sure I have a working phone

Isn’t CPU % is per thread?
