I guess each country might have its own laws about this. Many countries have agreements (I forgot the term for this) where they would send each other’s wanted criminals back so they can be tried where they committed the crime.

Just yesterday I joined a Discord server and one of the rules is:

II. There Will Be No Tolerance For Intolerance

SKG enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards hate speech or discriminatory behavior based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic. Any use of slurs or language intended to demean or dehumanize an individual or group is prohibited. Violation of this rule may result in immediate removal from the server.

I thought “no tolerance for intolerance” is kinda funny, especially when phrased that way, but obviously I think the policy is good. Just an amusing little oxymoron.

Sorry for going 100% off topic but since it came up, please everyone in the European Union go and sign the Stop Killing Games initiative: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ the deadline is coming up and the goal is to reach at least 1,500,000 signatures! It’s looking like it’s doable, every signature counts!

I think smartphones definitely win when it comes to convenience, accessibility, and ease of use. Even at home I use my phone a whole dang lot for general chill purposes, even though I have bigger and better screens to use.

I can’t comment on porn because I genuinely never watch porn of any sort (yes, I’m serious), but I have watched and enjoyed YouTube and Netflix et al on my phone, even at home. I usually prefer a bigger screen but sometimes the portability wins out.

That’s true for a lot of people, but I truly believe a very significant number of people are being exposed to Linux this way and will stick with it long-term. It will be a while until we see that reflected in the desktop and laptop statistics.

I haven’t used SteamOS (or even seen many videos of it), but from what I’ve heard it’s not shy about being a desktop operating system. Even the Steam Deck, which is marketed as a console like you said, lets you use it in desktop mode and run any Linux software without having to jump through any hoops. This isn’t like Android which is technically Linux deep under the hood but effectively completely detached from the Linux ecosystem. SteamOS is part of the Linux desktop ecosystem, and it’s proud of it.

Me neither. But I also never watched porn on desktop. I watch porn exclusively on Nintendo 2DS. Isn’t that what everybody does?

I really don’t see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.

To add to what others have said, I think Steam OS is making huge waves and that’s a really strong force.

Linux Mint is exactly as easy to use as Windows, if not easier. In Windows you also needed to google every day basic functions, but I guess for you personally that was so long ago that you don’t remember. On Windows you also need to use the terminal for some things, like removing some of their bloatware (xbox bullshit, for example).

There are some specific points I kind of agree with you about, but I don’t agree with your general sentiment. Linux is easier to use than ever.

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)

What do you mean? It’s a massive mainstream operating system used by the majority of phones in the world.

Not if it’s measured with a fractional part.

I wonder if the rate is high enough and the distances large enough that relativity could make it so people on opposite ends of the world disagree on which baby was born first. Then again, birth takes a lot longer than a second and it’s not really possible to pinpoint an exact timestamp when the baby is born and wasn’t previously.

whatever Android has a healthy update life guarantee and easily unlockable bootloader.

The Fairphone is really looking sweet. I’m fairly sure my next phone will be a fairphone if it’s at all feasible for me, but I expect my current phone to last at least a few more years.

You’re right (and upvoted accordingly), but if said evil company is as much of a clusterfuck as OP said, I wouldn’t bet on them having competent security measures in place.

Regarding “No Stupid Questions”, I submit for your consideration the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyiNW33MpAo

Pretty much lol, well put!

From my understanding, Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons yet. What they destroyed is essentially a factory that creates one of the key ingredients required for making nuclear weapons. It’s not a weapon yet, and it’s not explosive yet. Iran’s still a ways away from making that.

I super highly recommend William Spaniel on YouTube. He hasn’t covered this bombing yet (I’m sure he will within a few hours tomorrow), but a few days ago he did briefly go over the process of making nuclear bombs, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/XA1CQp_oJ90?t=480

Either way it’s an amazing channel for understanding world affairs, I really can’t recommend it enough. Go watch any of his recent videos, they’re short and well worth it.

There’s a line somewhere between “computers that teach you not to do that” and computers that prevent dire consequences when you make a human mistake. The “just don’t do that” policy is never enough. If there are no safeguards, at one point the mistake will be made.

Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren’t designed to annoy you, they’re designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.

But I can see why you’d want the power button to be a “stronger signal” than clicking Shut Down in some menu.

Neither. Internal politics in Israel threatened to break up the government, and starting a war with Iran was the easiest way to stop that. Can’t break up the government now, we’re in a state of emergency!

Bibi would sooner burn down all of Israel than step down from power.

Honestly, I think it’s premature - Organic Maps isn’t down the drain yet. But I’m also not 100% up to date. You can see most of the context here and in the open letter linked within: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/organic-maps-open-letter/128851
