I’m quite surprised they actually allowed to stick unknown USB into computer they will be selling to their customers 😮

I think boss was just lazy to think about it in this case and you gave him no other choice thou 😅

Simply high visit rate is not enough. Every site that wants increase organic traffic has to do SEO at some point.

As for second point yeah, exactly fragmentation is frustrating .

I moved to Lemmy over from reddit not because of content or better UI but because people behind reddit seems like jerks to me and i came to realization I’d rather use open source.
What i lack here is information e.g. programming communities in Lemmy are, well, dead. If left on Lemmy things that are “recommended” to me it’s sensational “news” that are aimed to spark woke vs others battle in discussion.

So what to make better ?

• to build what reddit has, I’d call it a content library and i don’t care if it’s done by bots or humans. For me the facts + discussion to ask question is super important.
• if searching for a topic outside of Lemmy> Lemmy doesn’t show up in search engine but reddit does. Some optimization needs to be done to get better score at search engines.
• let users to block instances and thus make de-federation to user’s decision.
• i think there needs to some kind of cross instance community, i don’t think having same kind of community in multiple instances with different content is good solution.

Yep so many people who could have come up with many innovations were deprived of the chance under communism. Nothing against factory workers btw.

Definetly, but not under the regime that built those used as reference.

Nah it’s not, taking away people believe they can built something made most people dull factory workers and those who were extra regime supportive were put in the post to build something but they often didn’t have the abilities . It’s hard to put it into words but you couldn’t have just make startup with nee awesome idea because people in the posts would not let you unless it meant increasing quota.

Nope, I can run it on old potato with 3GB of RAM and i doubt i could run Ubuntu’s full snaps flotila . They also remove the telemetry of Ubuntu. But AFAIK you can turn on snaps. The way i understand it Mint has these main goals : get rid of questionable Ubuntu things, keep it super stable, be welcoming to newcommers (like my none tech parents who never seen Linux could just use Mint outbox the box)

This is indeed correct but it had dark side, like taking away people’s business or limited freedom of speech.

Not just snoring 😅 👌

I’d say that I’m rather anti communistic but one thing that has never happened in used-to-be communist country i have experience with is starvation.
Actually they solved starvation, built fcking appartments for everyone to live in and gave them to people for free. They also made sure every forgotten village had drinakble water, electricity , gas, shop, train station and bus stop.

Reason why people overthrown them was humans rights repression like taking away people’s businesses to make them state companies. It was not poor the living conditions (for the time).

Isn’t Mint kinda better Ubuntu these days? Could be worth the check if you are into Ubuntu.

Isn’t like half of MS ecosystem online only, even MS Office and Teams work via browser. Everything else works out of the box on my Linux Mint ( recommended for Windows to Linux switching users with super frindly forum ) And you can always dual boot.

It is, in the analogy you are saying if you want to talk to them get an appartment in their part of the city.

It’s like building the wall around neighborhood you dislike for their opinions. So yeah its silencing them in sense of preventing them to speak with your part of the city but of course they can talk to themselves.
Point is they get to be isolated in their bubble, so will you . Instead we should learn to think for ourselves and they would be helped back into reality by information outside their bubble.

Well at one point i lead bunch of those “workers” on real project and oh boy, in some cases, i would much rather have robots do it.

And new circle between adBlocks and antiAdDlocks begins.

I’ve solved it by not buying good PC in adulthood.

Not exactly an answer but you can block communities you don’t want to see.

I’ve said in the past and will say it again. Despite someone talking nonsense, being rude, having wrong opinions, silencing them is not ideal. If nothing else it’s exactly the behaviour of Totalitarian regime that this action is aimed at.

So again de federation is IMHO not best aproach.
