  • non technical people are doing pretty well, because they don’t try to install photoshop or nvidia drivers downloaded from the nvidia drivers page.

    The “windows power user” are the hardest demographic, because they expect to know what they are doing but the don’t if they are new to linux.

    What did LTT write in the terminal again: “i know that this opperation will delete my gui and i am sure that i want that”, presses enter and wonders why his gui is gone. go figure

    It’s not about understanding. It’s about sorting,

    Everybody understand both notations, but if you use it for filenames sorting is important. Natural sorting order is an important feature that should be considered.

    day month year is just stupid in that regard. Not only does the of the month depend on the language, but also if sorted you get the first of every month grouped together.


  • Sorry mate, english is not my first language. I just wrote a response anyway but lemmy bugged when i tried to post it. :(

    I think everyone can act like a monster if he thinks the other person deserves it. unfortunately all the negativity in the media and from influential people enforces this worldview.

    I try to abstain from and to not discuss shit like that. Life is too short to be angry about things i can’t change. What i can do is act as good as i can in my personal life and that’s about it.

    Have a nice day and don’t let the negativity get the best of you


  • Then explain human history and literally everything else we know

    For what? This would change nothing. The only thing you can change are your own actions at this very moment.

    It is only denial, optimistic bias, self delusion, and other mediating psychological effects that allow us to see ourselves as anything better

    “Everyone is an asshole, so it’s okay for me to be an asshole too”?!

    You do you! I strongly believe most people don’t enjoy seeing other people suffering. I’m no saint either but I try my best. I think that’s a way better starting point than your take.


  • I’m with you on that. Most people all to thankfully give up their responsibility and do what they are told. The less they see the outcome of their actions the better (drone Pilots for example).

    Anyway, i think the stanford prision experiment is a bad example for that though, because it also incorprates peer pressure and concludes that nobody will think twice doing harm to others, as long as they are told to do so by authority. Humanity isn’t that bad I hope




  • I find it rather amusing that big servers are optimized to never fail with redundant pdus and fans and the like but as soon as you have to restart such a device, prepare for 10-20 minute downtime.

    My take is: before we had ssds so that a shitty configured windows pc could take up to 5-10 mins to boot, that really was a problem. Nowadays, especially were many devices use suspend instead of shutdown and are much faster, not any more.

    On the other hand, my fucking smart tv takes 2 minutes to boot and i hate it.


  • There is a big difference. If a platform belongs to a single entity, you can pressure that entity especially if its profit driven. If there are thousands interconnected platforms that only share an open protocol the most you can do is shutdown a single instance. That’s why an open protocol creating decentralized instances is so much different than a centralized platform. It’s like trying to ban email or censor speak: not that has never been tried, but that is a whole different cup of tea.
