I call bullshit. Debian stable just works, Ubuntu LTS releases use netplan instead of ifconfig, send your searches to Amazon, show advertising in the shell and push snaps down my throat. I used Ubuntu from 6.06 up until 10.04. Debian is just better with less corporate profit bogaloo

Solid points, but one point you didn’t mention I feel is important. Stop lobbyism! Corpartes shouldn’t have any direct influence in political decisions.

Thanks for the insight. Lemmy starts to feel like reddit in the past were some specialist or the author of the paper chimed in on the discussion.

The fediverse doesn’t have a person in charge. It’s more or less a bunch of technologies on top of activity pub protocol

Thanks, very nice of you to send me these links. The thing is for me, I refuse to see my ADHD tendencies (never officially diagnosed, but pretty sure) as any kind of illness or shortcoming at all. It’s just the way I am. Fortunately I have the luck to live a life where it doesn’t affect me negatively, so I don’t see a reason to question it.

The links talk about cocaine having a calming affect instead of a stimulating one. That’s funny, because I’m not even sure if it has an effect at all, I’m to dense to really notice any effect. To each his own.

By the way, i just came home from a nights out and I’m on amphetamine, which definitely has an effect I notice. It cures my anxiety and lets me feel at ease. I’d never write these posts without it. Drugs are strange…

I wish you the best my friend!

Most people don’t care about any of that. Firefox with AdBlock to surfe YouTube without ads? Nah, they want the app, which is basically the same, but at least they can’t block ads. I stopped trying to understand

Also, on xitter are all these assholes I don’t care about. I can’t leave that platform. Pathetic!

People will never understand intricacies like that. On the other hand, the big tech corps do. We are doomed

MDMA doesn’t work for me, nor does cocaine. What does that say about me? I don’t care to be honest… but the pro is, I will never get addicted to either of those, which is nice, I suppose. Anyway, what were we taking about?

That’s the way you to go

Self hosting on a rolling release platform? No way. Give me Debian, 4 hours work every 2 1/2 years. Arch is crazy and only doable if you only have a few single server

The problem is, and I’m pretty sure that’s the reason nothing will change, the problem is that people act like corporations have some kind of obligation to act morally. Then they are angry at apple, Microsoft, Monsanto and co.

Corporations are a fucking tool, that try to maximize profit not more, not less.

What everyone has forgotten is, that there should be people setting the rules and optimizing this tool for the best of the people. Instead we all accepted these neo liberal bullshit, where we allow corporations to influence the law. And, oh wonder, who would have thought, these fucking tools use their money and influence to maximize profit even though everyone but the stakeholder suffers from it.

Renewable energy is an example, how in the world can someone prefer burning coal or oil instead of letting the wind turn a fan? But because big oil companies have a way to big part in creating those laws, we fuck the planet until it’s too late and when it’s too late, everyone will blame the tool for it. Which won’t change a fucking thing.

You should never pay a blackmailer, because that incentives blackmailing. Still, everyone pays, because that causes the least pain

Same with this, they can bluff all they want; in the end, they won’t not sell their devices in Europe, because that would mean lost profit and the least pain is complying.

Go die in a dirty back alley apple, you deserve it

Not my experience. I’m managing 6 different clients and around 200 servers with debian 11-13. Update problems are most of the times caused by incompatible packages / repos. Other then that and a few times some changes in configuration files with new options I hardly ever have problems.

I don’t think you have to reinstall your system every two years, you just need to be careful to not create a frankendebian by adding repos villy vanilly and you are good to go.

Nice analogy. I used this one in the past: “you can’t fix a full disk by deleting word documents”, but I like yours more

Sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

Change my mind

Capitalism is a tool to maximize profit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let capitalism have influence on laws so that they can maximize its profit was a big fool.

What do you expect? Capitalism, a tool, has by definition no morale. Let it decide politics to increase profit and you end up with that kind of shit society we have today.

Don’t blame the hammer, when you hit your thumb. Also, don’t let the hammer decide where to make the biggest dent.

Can we please start again focusing on the people? Without people there is no society, and there is no market to increase profits.

Start using capitalism and free markets like a tool. Want more renewable and clean energy? Make rules and see the magic of capitalism in making the best out of it.

Instead we let capitalism decide what should be done next and suffer the consequences. It’s as easy as that.

Unfortunately capitalism not only create the rules, they also decide what is news and influence societies views. And that’s why OPs picture is as it is.

Fuck socialism, am I right guys?!

SCNR if they were able to make good decisions, they would never have switched to chrome anyway. /s

tbh, i don’t get all the mozilla/firefox hate. even “the linux project” missed the mark by a mile with his firefox critique.

whatever mozilla does, it’s not even half as evil as google
