Seeing a very popular and powerful $5 OS next to $100 Windows cards at the store would be pretty compelling. I guess their advantage would still be that all you need is a code to install Windows on many machines while you need to boot into an external drive to install Ubuntu (and any other OS).

Wouldn’t happen

While that all is true, I’m pretty sure it is pasta as well fyi

How’d you end up in that career?

Same. Reddit is my only source of baseball news and content and there just isn’t a scene for that here on Lemmy…

Maybe I should post…

That first one is pretty good. If you had asked me what 550/2 is, I’d have said 275. But since you showed me 225 before I thought about it, it confused me.

Thank you for actually doing this.

I guess that can also be extended to things that can accidentally be suspicious. Imagine if Colonel Mustard, who “doesn’t have anything to hide”, let the police search their trunk and found a broken candle stick. Even though he wasn’t being searched for that in particular, now he’s a suspect in Mrs. Peacock’s murder at the gazebo (Clue reference).

I’m not a security expert by any means, though I would imagine this type of attack can more be more easily made harder to execute if all accounts have to go through one server first. Lemmy seems to be as strong as the weakest link in this regard, but a centralized model is just a single link. I imagine that any effective strategy that works for Lemmy is much easier on a centralized platforms, even though the reverse statement isn’t true.

That said, I’m optimistic that this gets figured out. Centralized platforms have had decades to solve this problem and we’re just getting started.

I think the point is that the Fediverse is severely limited by this vulnerability. It’s not supposed to solve that specific problem, but that problem might need to be addressed if we want the Fediverse to be able to do what we want it to do (put the power back in the hands of the users)

Pay off the debt of everyone in my family

I agree with you, but I don’t think I could explicitly state what’s wrong with that mentality. Can you humor me and state it?

Edit: can someone else take a shot at it? Tge parent comment is essentially saying “people will counter with X, but everyone knows that doesn’t make sense”. It’s clear that something is wrong with that mentality, but it obviously would have a very real benefit of stating it’s flaws since the whole premise of this is that some people don’t know what’s wrong with that mentality.

Darn, I’ve been boycotting the Pixel ever since Google broke my 4 XL and tried to get me to pay to have them repair it.

What? How large is you laptop?? When you say “two graphics cards”, do you mean two GPUs or two full boards?

That literally couldn’t be further from the truth /s
