You can sue for anything in the USA. But it is pretty much impossible to successfully sue for “ripping off someone’s style”. Where do you even begin to define a writing style?

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

You’ll never look at a music docu-drama the same.

Open AI kind of is a nonprofit. It’s a nonprofit entity owned by a for profit entity, which is fucky and defeats the purpose, but that’s an argument you’ll see people make.

Join me on Vivaldi browser!

Garuda is arch-based, so “early adoption of partially completed software” is more of a feature than a bug to some users.

If you’re on lemmy then there’s nothing that new and different about matrix. It’s the same idea for chat apps: you can join an existing server, or host your own. Matrix doesn’t federate, so you just need to add whatever new servers you want to join.

Element is one of the bigger client apps. Matrix.org is the biggest server. Those will get you started.

TempleOS is legit super impressive, it’s a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that’s probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

Ok, good.

The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their “walled garden” strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.

It’s technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren’t doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)

The thing with Debian distros (like Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS) is that they’re extremely stable releases. This does not necessarily mean everything “just works”, but rather that they will not experience major code changes that could disrupt a working system. This means that if some apps don’t work out of the box, that state is going to be pretty much the same in any distro based on the same Debian version.

A more “agile” distro might be less stable, but as a result could see some updates to apps that Debian is still lagging behind on. Fedora is probably the “next step” in this direction: it’s still reliable but gets updates more frequently than Debian (it’s sort of a “proving ground” for code before it gets pulled into Red Hat, which is a distro focused on long-term stability).

As for desktop environments: I’ve always thought GNOME was the most Mac-like DE, but KDE has enough configuration options that you can kind of turn it into anything you want. Since this is on a very old laptop, you might consider LXDE, which isn’t the prettiest DE, but it’s super lightweight and might let you squeeze out a bit more performance if you’re wasting a lot of compute power just rendering the desktop.

I’ve checked in on it for the last several months and only picked up like 3 games that sounded interesting. And those only because they were free/included in my prime subscription.

Valve is Augustus Caesar. A benevolent dictator that did much to improve the quality of life of his citizens, but still a dictator. They’ve centralized control over the PC gaming sphere and brought tons of legitimate improvements to the hobby. Now they have no legitimate competitors. Epic Games is a mosquito bite, Prime Gaming is nothing, GOG is the closest thing and even they’re miles behind.

It only took a couple of generations to go from Augustus to Nero. I do not anticipate good things once Gaben retires/dies.

I expect nothing less from Satan’s maggoty cum fart.

(Beside the point, but Mussolini totally did not run an efficient train network, it was a cluster fuck like everything else he did)

This is going to hurt me, and I did as hell didn’t vote for him

The Lizardman Constant is about 4%. So that leaves 11% unaccounted for.

Even wearing super cyclical goggles, it doesn’t make sense for reddit to intervene here. Twitter is a competitor, why would they want to encourage people to link to a competitor?

Decent privacy focused messaging app isn’t difficult. Signal and Telegram are the biggest ones.

Convincing people to join it is the hard part. There’s no shortcut there.

Those weren’t the original lyrics, though. Axl changed them before the song was recorded (good move, though)

Comment section tries not to blame Biden for actions taken by the judicial branch, with judges appointed by Bush and Trump. Difficulty: Impossible.
