Ask Lemmy

Linux will never be a home operating system for most people. It will not even come close to windows or Mac. It is not user friendly, it is not supported by the VAST majority of home use software and it has too many distros. No one wants to get with an OS when the first question is which version. The learning curve is too steep and when stuff goes wrong it is way harder to find and solve.

It's nice that yall like it but the amount of forceful shoving of Linux on lemmy is hysterical knowing how no one listens.

Considering a lot of us are here from the Rexodus and have cake days coming up (or recently passed): Happy cake day.

If you've ever said "cowabunga dude" unironically, it's high time to schedule that prostate check.

the main lemmy developers are evil people, and they also admin the lemmy.ml instance. Stay away. other lemmy instances are admired well enough, but look for a mbin instance just to give the lemmy devs less power.

Gutenberg was a grifter. He stole money from people, sometime his own family, and ran up debts that he couldn't pay.

The only reason that he started printing bibles and became religious was because he was going to be thrown in prison for swindling people out of money, and it's a bad look to throw someone in prison who prints the word of God. In fact, most of what we know about Gutenberg comes from his court documents.

Also movable type and the printing press were already known in Europe and had already been invented in East Asia several hundred years earlier than Gutenberg. (the first printed texts date back to 700 CE and movable type prints around 1000 CE, both in modern China). It was nothing new.

Stop with the echo chamber. Dissenting views aren't trolls by default.

I really like you guys ❤️

I'm learning rust and going to contribute one day.

The weather outside is nice, go enjoy it

Two things:

1. I have taken over !eldenring@lemmy.world from the squatter who had created it because I anticipate some action once the DLC comes out and the only other ER community is on .ML.

2. When I made and deleted a post after just a few seconds to add my primary account as a moderator (since you can only do that with users who have posted in the community) it got down voted twice in less than a minute, which makes it feel like someone is following me just to downvote me. Just wanted to say hi to my stalker.

Never take laxatives and sleeping pills at the same time.

I know the world is rough but they to have a good day.

Math is truth.

Meth isn't.

Please, make more cat-related community!

Nuclear power plants won't help solve the climate crisis.

They take too long to build.
While the risk of a catastrophic failure is very low, its effects are so bad they can't be included in any sensible risk assessment.
They prolong the dependence on energy companies that are too big to fail and can therefore blackmail the government.
They depend on enormous amounts of water for cooling, at a time when rivers frequently get too warm for that due to climate change.
They run on a non-renewable fuel source that is imported from politically instable countries.
And when you include the cost of building them, insuring them, dismantling them and dealing with their waste, they're simply not economical.
The only way to run them is with massive subsidies and unconditional securities from the state. I.e. tax money being funnelled to big corporations.

It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop.

Fuck you for some reason. That is all.
