It's something some schools do. It's not mandated by the government.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn't on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I'm likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

They're protesting by threatening to do what they are already doing.

This is what I'm going to have to do as well since my computer isn't compatible with Win11. The only thing I'm worried about is gaming.

From what I've read previously, I'm not sure that's enough.

I still feel like it should be illegal for the button to say "Buy" or "Purchase" when you're actually leasing the item.

There should be a nice, big, summarized disclaimer right above the button explaining what exactly you are purchasing. I'm sure the 100 page EULA explains but nobody has time to read through the whole thing every time they make a digital purchase.

The judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

Because stealing and releasing tax documents is the same thing as attempting to violently overthrow the government.

This question pops up every now and then on social media and it always blows my mind that there are people who wipe standing up. I just don't understand the logistics of it and it seems like it would make things more difficult.

I'm really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn't infinitely produce.

Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools

I saw a comment on another post by a European explaining American politics to another European.

"Their left is our right, their right is our far right, and their far right are literal flag waving Nazis."

There's also a lot of "what idiot wrote this code" only to check git and find out it was you.

Reading all these comments it's clear that a lot of people have unrealistic ideas regarding what Lemmy and the Fediverse are supposed to be (or maybe it's me with weird ideas).

The Fediverse is just a bunch of apps that can all communicate with each other through a shared protocol. There is no requirement for them to be free speech platforms or host everything. The whole purpose of defederation supports the idea that instances are free to associate or disassociate with whichever instances they want. Furthermore, nearly every guide I read on joining Lemmy state that you should choose instances to join based on shared ideals/beliefs.

For everyone saying "I'm leaving lemmy.world" I say "Good. That's what you're supposed to do." When the instance you join no longer aligns with what you want, you go to another instance and then you'll be back to viewing all the communities you want to see. That is what the Fediverse is all about and how it's designed.
