Ubuntu & Linux Mint have a Live-USB-Setup. So you can install it on a USB stick, boot from that and then linux is running on your computer. Use it to check if your hardware works and check out the system. If you like it, you can install it from there afterward

Yeah, but on the other hand it is really annoying for us linux folks. Those games can run on linux as most games do with Proton. Some gaming companies are actively fighting against linux users and are even banning them. And then in every discussion about linux someone is showing up and shouting "I can't use linux, my games don't work, linux sucks".

If you're not selling access, why should you care? You are providing a service to your users and if they want to stream from you, they will figure out how to do this

I have been using this font on my eBook Reader for years. It's great. Highly recommended - it might look a little bit goofy at the first glance, but it really is more readable.

There is an international court that is responsible for prosecuting individuals for crimes like genocide oder crimes agains humanity. It's sensible to collect all evidence and put Zuckerberg & Co on trial to see how deep their involvement goes

English is not the author's native language. So maybe give him some slack?

Let's be honest: We knew that Elon was an asshole and totally batshit insane after the thailand caving incident. That was in 2018. Everybody who bought a Tesla after that didn't pay attention

You don't need a kill switch. If you're flying F35 and the US decides to cut you off, you won't get replacement parts. Some repairs are only available in the US, so your fancy bird won't fly much longer

There is an oversupply and China is reducing imports to protect their own industry:

It's also a great way to mess with Trump (and other conservative governments worldwide) as farmers are some of their most loyal supporters. And since the Trump gov won't do much against H5N1, it's also a great way to protect yourself.

Reddit is calculating its MAU differently. They seem to be counting even not-logged-in users coming from search engines - without that numbers like "1 billion monthly active users" really don't make any sense and even that is a crazy metric, if you think about it. There is no way that 1/8 of humanity is browsing on Reddit in a month. Lemmy seems to count only users who are doing something (submitting, commenting, upvoting)

The problem is that many companies can't do that as they can't give you their custom server code. The only solution here would be to change design from the beginning so that devices can work without servers and are also so secure that they don't need security updates

There is a difference between me reading a book and learning from it and one of the biggest companies in the world pirating millions of books for their business. And it really gets bad when normal users are getting sued for tenthousands of dollars when they download a book or a MP3 and Meta is getting defended for doing the same thing, but in a much larger scale.

Yes, we know that copyright is broken. But if it is broken, it has to be broken for all
