Wow... That's quite a reach... I don't understand why you would think that is what I am implying. I am just saying that there needs to be a way to deal with abusive content. Every platform has it, even 4chan and 8chan and other degenerate places on the internet.

I'm all about free speech and the right to privacy but that does not equal free reign to post whatever the fuck you want without consequences. I am not saying we need to persecute or track people but there has to be a way to remove stuff that is inappropriate or illegal.

Do you really want a social media platform where someone could spam CSAM and it would stay on there forever?

How are you planning to deal with the removal illegal content?

I like the idea of a decentralized web but when I tried ZeroNet I saw some despicable stuff on there.

If you do nothing about such content then your platform lost likely will end up as a pedofile haven.

A global episode of heat-related coral bleaching has grown to the largest on record, US authorities said Friday, sparking worry for the health of key marine ecosystems.

Oh, so now they are worried? Scientist and hippies have been warning about this for as long as I can remember and it will only get worse the longer we wait.

I truly hope they take it seriously this time but I am not going to hold my breath over it.

My stepmoms aunt had a super slow laptop with Windows that I took and installed Linux Mint on and she is super happy with it. It's like a brand new computer for her!

She only uses her computer to pay bills and check Facebook and she haven't called me once to complain. She only tells me that it's working great.

I plan to install Linux Mint for my mom too in the future. I don't think my dad would be able to handle it tho. He barley know his way around the computer but he knows enough to do his work and I don't want to mess up his workflow.

If your distro is packaging older versions then you shouldn't be surprised that things break. Tumbleweed is a rolling release distro

This is not my experience on an Arch system. KDE has never crashed on me

[–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I am not sure if it required a blob or not but I use an ASUS USB-BT500 on my Arch system and I only installed the bluez package for it to work (and bluedevil for the GUI on KDE).

Staying on an old and unsecure OS sure is a solution, but it's incredibly fucking stupid.

At least you could install Linux and use an old Windows version inside a VM instead of running a vulnerable system on bare metal. That way you can still use Windows when you need to.

Linux works fine on older machines and can give them new life.

I recently had to use a smart phone that is over 10 years old (Samsung Galaxy S5 mini) and believe it or not, YouTube and Facebook Messenger still worked. It was slow a hell but it still worked fine.

My experience with Arch and BTRFS has been nothing but great. If my system break I can just roll back a snapshot.

I avoid Debian, Ubuntu or other distros that hold back package versions because that's where the problem starts in my opinion. I shouldn't have to use workarounds to install the packages I want. Arch with the AUR just work so far.

But if you can't run Windows 11 then you're on your own once the support for 10 stops...

What's the point of staying with Windows 10? You're just pushing the problem further ahead in time. You might as well start leaning Linux now, instead of waiting til you have no other choice.
