How has your experience been so far?

The Linux memes today are 🔥

(But not as much as Windoze machines with CrowdStrike are today)

I can’t wait until more YouTube creators move to Peertube + donation platforms like Liberapay!

I’ve actually noticed more GPL-licensed projects give attribution to not only the original author but all contributors.

Whereas I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worked on proprietary software where the company didn’t give attribution for MIT-licensed code. Unlike GPL’d code, the author has no way of knowing that they weren’t attributed since the code is proprietary.

I believe GPL does have an attribution requirement btw:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it;

Thank you for clarifying, I edited my comment. I was referring to coreboot but did not know that it was not yet widely supported in Framework laptops.

and it has flames on it

Sure beats literally no protection which is what most laptops have. I have a switch and sometimes forget it’s off and my webcam/mic definitely don’t work, on any OS.

Open-source hardware to the rescue! So you CAN verify it.

System76 has some machines with hardware camera killswitches too. Big fan of Framework’s open-source hardware and firmware microcontroller firmware though.

I’ve had the same experience too. Last I checked, Kdenlive doesn’t have GPU rendering either. DaVinci resolve slaps though. And you can get a paid copy. Get outta here with that subscription nonsense, Adobe.

To be fair Windows had something like one bug per line of code in the mid 2010s. But there isn’t the transparency of a public bugtracker. And good luck shouting into the void if you ever find one.

Idk, I’ve been using LibreOffice for the better part of a decade personally and I use M$ office all the time at work. I haven’t had any problems.

You’re giving me VBA flashbacks. The worst language I’ve ever programmed in.

KDE connect is pretty great right now. I use it as a remote all the time and even wirelessly transfer files between devicss.

That’s a good question. To be honest with you, I’ve come across critiques of tankies on .ml as well as tankie nonsense. I’ve also come across some progressive discussion as well as USA apologism on .world.

So in my personal experience (may differ from others based on what communities we frequent) I haven’t experienced so much tankie or American apologist content that I’ve felt the need to leave either community.

I agree with your sentiment that .world is left of reddit - as is Lemmy in general.

What I have been seeing is some users on .world coming across any tankies and wanting to defederate while seeing some amounts of pro-US imperialism on .world but ignoring it since (imo) we’re desensitised to it especially coming from reddit.

I do not find that tankies define the communities I frequent on .ml any more than pro-US imperialism defines .world.

You can be left-leaning while also not a fan of neoliberalism. :)

I take issue with both the authoritarian left and authoritarian right: being an apologist for Soviet Russia as well as being an apologist for the USA is not OK in my opinion.

I find it futile to take a position on which is worse because that just gives space to be an apologist for one that’s “less bad”. I see this happening in this thread right now.

Should I defederate from both lemmy.world and lemmy.ml? Of course not. In fact, I find both to be more tolerable and cooperative than reddit today.

That’s why leftists are prone to like it.

This has not been my experience speaking to leftists at all.

Thank goodness nobody is locked into any one instance. The beauty of the fediverse.

Maybe not the best suggestion for this community then.
