lol, that’s a boomer classic

Funniest thing is they have a page for alternatives to their own site

Yeah singing is terrible for driving… It’s much better to be bored to sleep

You mean a PATA SSD? Core 2 duos came with SATA

I think you’re looking for a different type of community then, like an image board.

If I vote something I’m expressing my opinion just like I would with comment, and those are not anonymous.
I get that people are worried about griefers and psychos, but anonymity is just a (poor) cure for the symptoms, not for the disease; users who don’t behave should be banned, and if their instance turns out to be a detriment to the community, they should be defederated.

The anonymity we should ensure is the one of the person behind the username, to avoid doxxing and cyber-bullying.

The computer actually came with an SSD, they swapped it because they appreciate the time to think between one operation and the next

That gives you decent performance on a one cylinder moped

Then I weep for this poor soul. A spinning disk in 2023, that’s cruel and unusual punishment.

TIL I grew up during the great depression

And I’m sorry you don’t understand sovereignty

Yeah all right, conversation over.

And why most Linux users would rather not play these games than allow that garbage on our PCs.

Well, you know, I actually went there, a few months before the war, and had the chance to talk to people, so maybe check your own propaganda bias.

Proves nothing. Russia itself at one point pretended to want to join NATO, it’s all politicking. And it’s still pointless, a sovereign country is free to do what it wants, if it isn’t, then it’s not free and it has all the reason to fight for its freedom.
The US is practically never the good guy, but Russia is even worse, in this instance they’re absolutely indefensible.

You’re actually confirming their point about culture though. The fact that you couldn’t stop them doesn’t mean that it also happened to everybody else: some management may have listened. Linux users abhor adding weird shit to their OS, Windows users do it all the time.

Ukraine wasn’t entering NATO, it was seeking close ties to the EU.

And anyway it’s a sovereign country, it can do whatever the hell it wants, they’re not slaves to Russia.

Change your government then, I’m already overseas, relative to you (unless you’re posting from Moscow).
Nobody forced Russia to invade. You’re saying NATO expansion forced their hand, why? Just because they’d lose their vassal and they didn’t want to. Life in Ukraine SUCKED, that’s why Euromaidan happened; was it pushed by US agencies as well? Maybe, but still it wouldn’t have happened if not for the massive corruption there, much of which was upheld by Russia, see their support for Yanukovych.

There will be no consequences for those who made this choice because going with the biggest suppliers is never wrong: they in theory have the highest reliability, and even if they don’t, then it’s not just your problem but everyone else’s too, can’t blame those responsible when the outage is akin to an “act of God”

I don’t see how it’s necessary to explain what is there for everyone to see: they got Ukrainians fighting for them (well, and themselves as well), then if that’s not enough, the closest NATO countries will probably get into it.
