.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy’s technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.
I’ve been liking .zip so far.
I’m not saying they won’t try, just that it doesn’t matter. They have no power here
When they actually do have far right beliefs sure. But I think they were referring to people using the “right wing extremist” tag as a bludgeon for any views right of their own, or things that may not even be right at all.
Looks like it was to give independence to the French African states.
That could very easily be all websites. It would never be feasible to stop.
Eh, it’s unenforceable. Just theater from a bunch of politicians that don’t understand the technology. I wouldn’t worry about it.
I haven’t touched my Ubisoft account since 2013 before today. It’s still there with all my purchases intact.
According to one person, that likely made it up for fake internet points.
I am almost certain they are not actually doing this and it’s just some ploy to get people to login to their long dormant accounts. I haven’t logged into my account in around a decade, but I just did today and all the games I bought are still there (a whopping 2).
I use timeshift for local backups, then duplicati for backing up to Amazon glacier monthly.
Don’t forget that a local backup is as bad as no backup at all in the case of a fire or other disaster. Not trusting the cloud is fine (though strong encryption can make this very safe), but looking into some kind of off site backup is important. Could be as simple as a second hard drive that you swap out weekly stored in a safe deposit, or a nas at a trusted friends house.
I honestly wish more programs did the app by app theming thing like steam and discord. I don’t need my desktop theme applied to every program I open. I would much rather the program to have a consistent design language that works, rather than slapping themed buttons all over the place that don’t fit with other aspects of the program.
Originally, because I was a poor middle school student with a bunch of dumpster hardware. I could not afford a windows license (this was the XP days). I immediately liked Ubuntu (gnome 2 at the time) more than windows, everything felt faster and more customizable. It really screamed on my pentium 3. I used Linux of various flavors all the way through school and continue to use it as my OS of choice to this day. I remember my teachers always being mad that I didn’t use “times new Roman” font when I turned in papers, explaining that I used Linux and TNR was not an available font didn’t do much for me. I would switch to windows for AAA games back in the day, but that is quickly becoming less necessary.
The biggest benefit I have seen over the years is that it is so much easier to keep old hardware alive (and still secure) with Linux. If your old matching is starting to bog down you can always find a lighter weight distro to load it up with. And when you are ready to upgrade hardware the old stuff can easily be turned into a server, game console, or PC for grandma. Anything to keep it out of a landfill is pretty easy to do. It used to be that you never had to worry about paying for an upgrade either, but now that windows is essentially free for upgrades that is no longer a huge benefit.
This was happening to me for awhile. Reinstalling jerboa fixed it. Are you using the store version or pulling straight from GitHub with obtanium? I was doing the latter.
Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.
