That statement that people who know that Ubuntu sucks don’t know that it is a Debian derivative is incredibly unlikely

What’s your least interesting story?

No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn’t allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users

This does not mean that any performance issue that arise will be fixable (unless you’re one of those guys)

But yes, this is how I ended up using Linux. I spent weeks trying to fix a major visual glitch on Windows, and Debian got it right the first time. The app store sucked (even more than now), but installing things in cli was far easier than using Windows

Do you actually feel your computer slow down? I would guess your 20 unused tabs would get swapped out and the rest should run relatively fine

I think it’s meant to be interpreted as “catching your breath when talking while laughing” pauses?

It’s a feeling

Kevlar doesn’t stop feelings 🥹

fyi, both of your exemples would fall under wp:fringe

He is discussing a page’s content, not “being in charge” of the page. I actually think it would be a good thing if board members spent more time as “normal” editors, maybe they would be less disconnected from the community

The one time I noticed I got downvoted on Lemmy was because I was stupid, and somehow that makes it much more tolerable. Like, I’m happy less people read that shit

It’s not that loanwords are a thing in all languages, it’s that they are everything. A non-loanword would be a word without a historical etymology. There are some in physics, and everyone is laughing at them “quarks”

Some languages or populations may be stricter with their grammars, but I guarantee you they stole that grammar. A few things changed over time of course, but it’s going to be very similar to how they talked before, mixed with how other people around them talked. You can’t just make up new grammar and hope people will understand it (see attached Lojban)

Yes, Debian stable and testing are two very different things. Testing is essentially a slower rolling release that only takes packages that have been tested in Debian unstable, which is a very fast rolling release. Similar thing with RHEL, Fedora is a quasi-rolling distro that takes packages after testing in Fedora rawhide.

The old bugs will not send your ssh keys to an unknown network address. If they did, they would get patched or not published. These bugs are known in advance, they are not risks, they are issues. You can make a decision to use them or not, and then you’re set for 5 years. Like, they are both bugs, but they work out very differently if you want to rely on your system.

The thing is that Fedora or Debian testing (and derivatives) bring the latest version fast-enough for the vast majority of people. They don’t make bugs last longer like Debian stable does. When an app is bugged for two weeks, you encounter the bug one month after Arch users, then you get the fix two weeks later. The total bugged time stays the same, but the risks of something really bad happening is much lower. The downside is being one or two month late, and most people don’t care about this kind of delay. (obviously when bugs are found, it can be much more than one or two months)

What language doesn’t match this description? People keep saying this like english is more built out of other languages than the others and, like, how do you think other languages are made? Do you expect someone to just suddenly come up with “anireslurp” for “table” and everyone in the country just uses it?

I mean, they distributed the xz attack, and then rolled it back when a debian sid user signaled it. This is just not a viable way to do things, especially if the number of users increases. You need a stronger testing policy before the update hits the users, you shouldn’t just assume everything can be fixed by further updates. Debian stable is a bit on the extreme side of that, but Debian testing or Fedora feel much more reasonable long term to me

I don’t think you can really “lack supporting data” for this, it’s more an arbitrary categorisation than a causal link. The important question is more “is this an effective way to categorise things for a given objective”. Is it an easy diagnostic that leads to solutions that are likely to work for the diagnosed population, or a good predicator of other behaviors, or something. I don’t think you can estimate how good is a categorisation without an objective, all combinations would be as good as each others.

Now, about the article. It is annoying. This is one neuro-psychiatrist vibing, writing something that sounds cool based on his 50-years-ago childhood and how his patients match his highly-modified and motivated memories. This is the famous method that led to psychoanalysis, with psychiatrists running around saying autism was caused by mothers not really wanting the childrens. It doesn’t disqualify the concept (see above) but it is annoying to see this again and again

I didn’t even know they could have a usb hub, none of mine ever had. Huh.
