  You either die from it or find the strength to overcome the addiction? Staying clean from heroin does require a lot of it

  Eh, it’s a decent client. I’ve moved my self hosted instance from the upstream docker image to a build from source with the blocklist and other “Acceptable Use Policy” removed. Life uh, forks a way.

  But yeah, if you’re using an instance with the upstream image you are unknowingly missing out on a whole part of Lemmy beyond what your instance admins have decided

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The familiarity of users is not really an argument for an OS being good though, is it? Neither is how deep you’re into the ecosystem. Of course if you say to a windows admin that runs an AD forest with 10k users “you should just switch to Linux because it’s better bro lol” you can’t be taken seriously, but that is not because windows is “better”.

  Hell, Windows user, system, and software deployment management was mature before Linux even existed.

  Sorry what? I would barely call the mess of AD/AAD/Entra/Intune/whatever “mature” today, the registry is a shitshow, same with GPOs, and you’re saying it was actually good in 1990, on Windows 3.0, 9 years before the first release of AD? Also, what software deployment?

  Each has their strengths - Linux is a better choice for general servers, which is why every virtualization platform runs on it, and also why massive file servers, web servers, etc, run Linux. Or for purpose-built solutions.

  And which are Windows’? Whenever someone says that “windows has its strengths”, it always seems to boil down to either a) users know how to use it or b) some software I need is not available on Linux. Both are legitimate points and I don’t fault anyone for running windows in those situations, but neither is a point for the OS per se. You listed several for Linux, I’m curious if you can name some for windows that are not the above.

  Also, a hacker recently got caught because he was using Windows, so…

  So, what? Are you happy a “dangerous criminal” was stopped using undocumented intrusive telemetry or that it demonstrates that skids who use windows exist?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux was built by engineers and professors based on idealistic values like progress and collaboration. Windows was also built by talented nerds, but at the direction of suits with the goal of making money.

  I think the rotated pins on British sockets is reserved for high-current appliances? similarly to how type L has an identical but larger 16A variant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He was no friend to the middle class⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Is brain death death” and “is a brain-dead person a corpse” are two different questions. The answer to the first is yes, the second is no. You can be dead, but until your body starts decomposing it’s not a corpse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where did the conspiracy theory that America was behind 9/11? Was there any evidence to back up these claims (real evidence)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it is known (or at least it should be) that a false flag attack on civilian targets to rally the population against an enemy is not beyond the US government. Not saying 9/11 was, just that there is reason for suspicion imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good offer! Which one should I pick?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like OP is on a 24 month plan that I assume is expiring.

  That’s why it’s annoying, OP is most likely on a plain monthly plan, and to get the same price they need to pay for 2 years upfront. That’s 120€. And this amount is not written even in small print.

  Also I looked it up and it’s 70% off for me, at “2.99€” (72€ for the first 24 months then 84€/12mo). So dynamic pricing bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good offer! Which one should I pick?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m mad because it used to be great years ago. You could pick a specific tier for each service, so you could get the top mail tier and the middle VPN one for example, plus some features were optional add-ons independent of the plan. It was really modular and transparent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do tires have the width and diameter they do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A low center of gravity is more stable than a high one.

  Gyroscopic effects do exist on bikes but they are not the main source of stability - it’s the fork geometry, which tends to straighten the handlebar
