The part where they say that using Linux instead of Windows is like leaving the US for Canada when Trump gets elected, and apparently it's bad because it means you don't help improve things for Windows (lol).

I know it sounds just like a joke, but it isn't. Tim Sweeney is really such a moron. Source: https://twitter.com/timsweeneyepic/status/964284402741149698

Blasphemy and racism are two very different things.

Blasphemy is a human right.

Besides, there are already laws against hate speech.

You don't. Seriously. The point of an ergonomic keyboard is to touch-type. You won't learn to do that if you look at your keyboard.

Print your keyboard layout on a sheet of paper, and hang it next to your monitor. Now when you want to type a character, look it up on your sheet, and without looking at your fingers, type it. Try to remember the position like "left index finger, two lines above the rest line".

If you're basically recreating Linux Mint from scratch, yes.

Linux can be heavily modified, and removing Snap from Ubuntu is no exception. But it's an involved process.

Try this:

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf groupupdate core
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video

You should also add the hardware accelerated codecs, by following the appropriate section depending on your hardware:

Make sure to reboot.

If this still does not work, install Celluloid and enjoy the superiority of mpv.

That's an Estonia thing, not a Europe thing. Estonia is notorious for being the land of IT. In the rest of Europe, IT is heavily male-dominated. I just finished an IT tech/sysadmin training in France: out of 15 people, 3 were women, and it was probably one of the best ratio they've ever had. It seems there are a bit more women in the programming courses recently, though, but they're still a minority.

At my current job, out of a little over 100 people in various IT teams, 10 are women.

No you don't.

rm -fr / requires the flag, but rm -fr /* does not.

Did you update your filters?

I had the pop-up today, updated my filters then reloaded the page, and the warning was gone.

No, you don't understand, it's easy:

  • if the government punishes you for what you said, it's an attack on Free Speech™
  • if woke Twitter cancels you for what you said, it's an attack on Free Speech™
  • if a far-right/Republican shoots you down for what you said, it's just the consequences of your Free Speech™
  • if you're writing a book about sexual education, it's not Free Speech™ anymore, and you should be censored

Easy, huh? /s

That's for NSFW communities. Since the protests, quite a lot of communities are still marked as NSFW, even if they're not, in reality.

The US Army would disagree, and I'm certain they know better than you. They literally use CoD in their recruitment campaigns.

It was always a tankie den. The Lemmy developers are very openly tankies.
They held their heads relatively low during the whole Reddit exodus, but that's about it.

Here are some examples: https://raddle.me/f/lobby/159606/is-lemmy-still-a-tankie-platform-or-are-there-actual
