This is the kind of dark pattern that trains Windows users trying to switch to Linux to do dumb things like blowing straight through a

If you pay attention, you start noticing that a lot of DIY/maker Youtubers are former software developers.

I mean, you could get a 70s-80s model American tractor, too.

I can't think of a single piece of software that's "done." Even TEX is only at version 3.141592653, not π.

...after which every non-Apple device attempted...

Well, also except for any other microcomputer that wasn't trying to run DOS. (Surely there were some -- Amiga, maybe? IDK.)

Galaxy brain: "PC" means it runs CP/M or DOS, not Windows.

This is Lemmy; we can put that slightly more extreme version right here!

90s: corporations make everything plastic and disposable while people are told to recycle

It's worse than that: the plastics industry tells us to recycle -- even going so far as to plagiarize the recycling symbol into the resin identification codes -- despite knowing from the beginning that recycling plastic was mostly never going to be a viable thing. They did this purely to shift blame to consumers because the only way their business model worked was to not be held accountable for their waste.

"Russia doesn’t care": Sweden sounds alarm over environmental catastrophe in Baltic Sea, accusing Moscow of using unseaworthy vessels ( www.theguardian.com ) Englisch

Russia appears prepared to create “environmental havoc” by sailing unseaworthy oil tankers through the Baltic Sea in breach of all maritime rules, the Swedish foreign minister has said....

Too bad that torpedoing them would be counterproductive. I guess maybe it could work if you did it on their return voyage, when they're empty.

I use Linux because I like to know that if my computer doesn't do what I want, it's my own damn fault (and not some corporation trying to screw me over).

Repression of environmental activists who use peaceful civil disobedience in Europe a "major threat to democracy and human rights," UN report says ( unece.org ) Englisch

"The environmental emergency that we are collectively facing, and that scientists have been documenting for decades, cannot be addressed if those raising the alarm and demanding action are criminalized for it," says Michel Forst, UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders under the Aarhus Convention....

because in the times that actually happened there was no other way.

And there still isn't.

We do need copyright reform, but also fuck "AI." I couldn't care less about them infringing on proprietary works, but they're also infringing on copyleft works and for that they deserve to be shut the fuck down.

Either that, or all the output of their "AI" needs to be copyleft.

grue ,

It already is.

If you mean that the output of AI is already copyleft, then sure, I completely agree! What I meant to write that we "need" is legal acknowledgement of that factual reality.

The companies running these services certainly don't seem to think so, however, so they need to be disabused of their misconception.

I apologize if that was unclear. (Not sure the vitriol was necessary, but whatever.)
