LMAO right??? I can’t agree more

This was one of the reasons I went to kinoite. Part of leaving Windows was to get away from all their slop… The other part was to get away all the forced updates. I don’t wanna be forced to update if I don’t want too

Edit: to illustrate your point look at the stories of people who can’t use virilization anymore because they took out virt-manager and QEMU but did a horrible job of telling people and then stuff updated.

Now they rebase to -dx, layer the packages or go someplace else.

Seems like a council that is trying to say yes but also make sure the other side feels heard and protected… unless this is a town of 10 in the middle of no where it seems reasonable to me… I wish this was my council at times

You do know in a significant number of languages in this world when gender is unknown the masculine form is used… Some languages, for example Spanish, would even use a masculine form for when the gender is known and a group includes both boys and girls. For example Tengo tres ninos… That sentence could mean I have three boys but it also could mean I have three kids of which some might be female.

So stop trying to be provocative… You’re bad at it

wasn’t that his exact point lol

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your response… It all makes sense now! I understand the excitement about these now

I have KDE on two of my computers but don’t really understand what you’re talking about. I keep reading though about the awesome paneling KDE has.

Can you explain more what you mean or give a link that explains? Maybe my use case is too basic but I don’t use anything beyond what I ever used in windows and I feel happy. However people talk about this all the time so I really want to learn

Same… Banned my account of nearly 20 years. Still to this day no reason or email why. Then every account I made was banned presumably because I used alias emails on a VPN.

So I find myself here.

I used Israel as an example else where in this thread. Definitely a polarizing situation and easy to understand not everyone there agrees with their government.

I thought I blocked you… Guess I’ll try again LMAO

Nailed it LOL

haha some of the responses here being proof of that

Agree… and this is the path I’m following.

For many people once they leave their home country it becomes very obvious they don’t belong. For example, I left my home country almost 2 years ago and where I’m at now I stick out like a sore thumb. I left my country because it wasn’t someplace that represented who I was. So now that I’m in a new country everyone is aware of my existence.

What do you suggest?

If only history was that simple… I get what you’re saying and generally don’t give a shit about what people say but there are a few countries you could list right now where people would be in grave danger else where in the world. For example if I was Russian and found myself in the Ukraine… if I was Israely and I found myself in Iran…based on most comments in Lemmy… if I was from the US and stepped out my front door haha… but hopefully you understand what I’m saying… life isn’t that simple.

My account of like 20 years got banned and I never received any reason why… still to this day have no idea. no messages or anything. I tried making a few more accounts but was using alias emails and VPNs and such and they all got banned. After that I figured why do I try to hard if they don’t want me so I jumped ship…

never looked back

as an electrical engineer who consults for utilities and worked directly for them for about 10 years I can tell you this isn’t directly the case… meaning they didn’t raise rates to force you to use cloud services.

Now what might have happened realistically is the data center is using so much electricity, the utility doesn’t have that kind of capacity available so they have to raise rates to mitigate the difference in energy usage and to also raise revenue to build more infrastructure.

I just thought about this… They made it so hard for me to make an anonymous account I moved here. The AI accounts have more tools at their disposal to get around this and have more incentive to so they stick around. They’re little going to fill their site with bots while getting rid of a good portion of their human uses because of their shit practices.

Further when you sell out to using you data to build AI models what do you expect to show up after?
