they rolled back the Wayland support 😑

of course they are. they aid genocide abroad, why wouldn’t they do it at home too?

“largely unaffected”? these coups are how the US steals resources from south america!

you benefit from these coups every time you buy a banana or chocolate.

our education system is in ruins, our healthcare system is even worse, people can’t pay for housing and groceries, and despite tons of budget cuts everywhere the provincial debt has never been worse.

…but thankfully, the CAQ is here to fight the real issues: those darn Muslims doing childcare!!!

oh no the public prayer ban thing is 100%, wholly just Islamophobia. the people who want the ban have already said they’re fine with catholic public praying.

i’ll note that Muslims doing prayers in public in quebec started pretty recently, and most of it is grieving during pro-Palestine protests.

that’s what quebec wants to ban: people grieving for Palestine. it’s sickening

lmao catholic private schools receive public funds in quebec too

why do actual secularism when you could just attack Muslim people 🙃

do you ever stop to think about it sometimes?

how worked up you are because people use an operating system you don’t like. imagine doing that with other things.

“ugh this shirt is kinda itchy” “well that’s your own damn fault for using this bad shirt!!! next time switch to a better shirt you useless fuck!”

anyone who needs microsoft office. or the adobe suite. or visual studio. or autoCAD. or…

there’s a lot of professional creation software that’s not on linux. and yes, we have alternatives, and they’re cool, but they don’t work for everyone.

ok so a couple things for the people in this thread:

1. sometimes, when people complain, they don’t want advice. they just want to vent their frustration. that’s ok. your advice is just gonna come off as annoying, especially
2. if they’ve heard it a billion times already. and trust me, if you’re on the fediverse and complain about windows or macos, you’ve heard “just use linux lol” before.
3. holy shit stop doing victim blaming. this goes for everything btw. like. stop. “lol your fault for using windows” shut up. if you’re already doing victim blaming for trivial stuff, i don’t trust you for when much more serious problems arise.

that’s very cool and good job to anyone who managed this, but they’re all either 10 years old, have a bunch of broken essential features, or both… not exactly an iOS replacement

replying with “use Linux” to complaints about iOS is especially funny to me

me omw to install Linux on my iphone

i just wish OSM was more complete… it’s fine for big cities, but when you live in small rural areas it’s practically useless. my village only has its roads mapped, nothing else.

(and yes i know you can edit the map. and that it’s the entire point of OSM. i know that. but it takes a ton of effort, and it’s an ongoing effort because cities change!)

OSM contributors, you are amazing and cherished and your work does not go unappreciated. i just wish there was more of us…

the machine used to manage schedules at the job i had this summer used windows XP

you can, and you should

english has no authority that regulates the language, it’s up to us to do the spelling reforms

i spell it wensday :3

i like what they do but giving donations to a for-profit company that already sells stuff seems a bit silly to me

at most 13 years old, it has the windows 8/10 logo

he’s openly a white supremacist

sure, but you have to think about accessibility (like screen readers)

the iOS screen reader just read your last line as “sesides, it’s fun toe fuck around a ring little bit”

tbh you should do the same if you have adults

honestly for most people i feel like AI has already a solidified use, “the magic thing that answers all your questions and generates pretty pictures*”

compare that to NFTs which had strictly no use for the average person. i think what we’re seeing with AI is quite different

will the hype maintain itself when the AI bubble bursts, the VC money dries up, free options get removed and paid options significantly ramp up in price? that remains to be seen

*(the fact that the answers and pictures are often garbage is irrelevant. as long as they’re good enough often enough, it has value to many people)
