Europe@feddit.org•How Chinese media rhetoric on Ukraine has changed in two yearsEnglish
12·27 days agoThe undeniable fact remains that Russia is the one who attacked Ukraine and is occupying Ukraine’s territory, not the other way around. Do people really not understand that makes Russia the aggressor and Ukraine the defender? Are they just flat-out stupid?
I do not understand how the propaganda is as effective as it apparently is.
That one isn’t funny.
What the h311 is wrong with you? Us millennials invented 1337!

Technology@lemmy.world•Why Are New Appliances So Bad? [41:02]English
31·2 months agoEnshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.
This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”

science@lemmy.world•Volcanic eruption led to the Black Death, new research suggestsEnglish
161·2 months agoNice try, article. The headline clearly says the volcano released magic super-germs from deep inside the Earth.
It’s proprietary shit. If it’s being left behind, blame the megacorp that makes it, not Linux devs.
The point is, nobody gives a shit about Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. anymore and your argument is stupid.
Every Unix or Unix-like OS that matters in 2025 is either switching from X11 to Wayland or never used X11 to begin with.
“Most Unices” haven’t been relevant for a decade or more. At this point it’s really just Linux, OS X, Android (to the extent it counts as a Unix), and BSD as an also-ran. Obviously OS X and Android don’t care about Wayland or X11 to begin with, so all you’re really saying is that BSD is getting left behind.
Those work fine in Wayland for me.
Meanwhile, my OS switched to Wayland while updating at some point and I didn’t even notice.
It’s a work computer. Talk to your IT department.
Frankly, you have no business setting it up yourself at all, unless you have a good reason to need it, explicit permission from your boss, etc. Or if you’re a software engineer or IT admin type employee yourself (but if that were the case you probably wouldn’t be asking this question).
Also, my experience is that if you as an employee need multiple operating systems (e.g. developing an app that supported Windows and OS X, as I did in a previous job), you should be furnished with a second machine instead of being expected to dual-boot. For a company, the hardware cost is trivial compared to the labor cost of your lost productivity screwing around with dual-booting.
I understand everybody’s got to start somewhere and I’m sorry if this comes across as harsh, but outside of a very limited set of circumstances (e.g. being the sole IT guy at a small company trying to self-teach), this is literally Not Your Job.
Obviously, your next print is a replacement tension adjustment pulley thing, as is tradition.

4·3 months agoonly in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.
I think that’s a point that deserves more attention. Considering the “long tail” of niche communities and that the propaganda surely isn’t evenly distributed, it’s very possible that the big default and political subs are mostly propaganda and other shilling at this point.

Space@mander.xyz•One NASA science mission saved from Trump’s cuts, but others still in limbo
3·3 months agoThe petro-fascists are Hell-bent on destroying satellites (and ground-based observatories) measuring climate change, and the article should’ve been more explicit pointing that out.








Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?
