I wish I watched this before the one time I had to do this. Did not end well for me.
Can you post something besides partisan ragebait
Lemmy’s been a lot better than reddit for this in my experience. On reddit you couldn’t even get a sentence out.
You added some LOTR keywords, am I wrong? Also love the dual McDonald’s-Burger-King on the left.
Well, there’s having to put an unconstitutional demand violating the 1st/4th amendments on paper and sending it out to a company, and then there’s just being able to log in as the admin and look for the information directly. Anyway, when I say “public good”, I mean in a pretty loose sense, I prefer to see actual maintenance/management done by something like a non-profit rather than a gov agency.
I was about to write something in my comment to the effect of, “but let’s not even talk about the government running it”. Could end up like PBS, could just as easily end up like USSR/North Korean/Chinese media. Imagine Reddit but, instead of spez, it’s Joseph McCarthy, or Donald Trump, with the power to identify and criminally sanction users.
Fast food chains aren’t your friend
The only really long term viable model is a donation model. Ad tracking is abusive and the legality is waning, and subscription models for what’s basically a public good are fucked.
You can put it on, but at that point you’re with reinstalling the system or moving packages over on a thumb drive. Huge pain.
I guess you could use the same argument to say you’re buying less when you buy your laptop. It’s just arbitrary data I/O through USB with the software level interpreting it. They don’t have to ship a DAC or wifi radio (if they actually omitted that) or… whatever you call the component that’s part of a GPU that converts to HDMI - instead they offload that to the dongle or peripheral. In effect your device is just slowly being whittled down to a processor to USB bridge.
The headphone and USB ones are the ones I hate the most. My “flagship” phone doesn’t work with any of my ~15 pairs of headphones (mostly earbuds but a few actually nice ones) without an adapter. Booting up a laptop into a nix OS that doesn’t have wpa_supplicant etc. installed, no ethernet dongle or ethernet port, that’s about to be annoying.
This is more about laptops/phones than desktops btw. Normal sized desktops usually still ship with every port, plus one or two USB-C’s these days.
Oh like minority scapegoats. In that case disregard what I said.
Many of the weak and vulnerable are responsible for putting the rich and powerful into power though. Power is entirely a social construct. Bit of a paradox but that’s the way it is.
What is the “‘well actually’ thing”? Claiming to correct something that’s wrong? Is that not allowed?
Well, because the U.S. is a police state, with a military stranglehold on the planet, and the invasions were predicated on an event with uh, let’s say, suspicious circumstances, that was engraved into the national psyche as the worst crime of a generation.
Haven’t used Sync but I bet they carried a lot of the UI stuff over from reddit and didn’t update that. Default web UI for lemmy shows the up and down.
That’s a way taller order than you might think. Docker has loads of kernel level integration that FreeBSD isn’t interested in supporting, also there are separate techs for similar purposes, like jails.
