If you don’t add the power I have no context that you’re talking about power rangers
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 1 week ago:
That doesn’t feel like the case for RHEL anymore. See my post here: lemmy.ca/post/47329016/17562982

You took a joking jab at red hat and suse a bit too seriously. But let me address at least the red hat portion of it.
IBM changed took away the Debian equivalent of RedHat: CentOS. They now have CentOS stream which is not what CentOS was – the free and open RHEL byte for byte compatible operating system. Arguably at the time, yes, I would agree with you – they were just selling enterprise services. But that’s not what it is anymore. They took away the stability of CentOS and had everyone migrate to RHEL or away. There were talks at the time that they were violating the linux license at the time. However, it was argued that they weren’t. Because they provide the source code for enterprise license customers, they did not violate the license. HOWEVER, they were cancelling enterprise licenses of people who were taking the source code to make RockyLinux and all the the other distros that came up to replace what CentOS was.
While yes, you have the freedom to do with the source code as you’d like when you have access to it, IBM is violating the spirit of what that means by throwing access to it behind an enterprise license.

I would be very interested in what you think about LMMS. It reminded me somewhat of FL Studio, but like I said I wasn’t really good at it so there may be features you’re lacking.
I have to say, the audio situation used to be a bit of a mess but it has gotten somewhat better.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 1 week ago:
Does LMMS still exist? There were a few other tools I used back in the day (wasn’t good at it so don’t ask for tips!)

Is it even Linux if you’re not running four terminal emulators via tmux in single user mode on a 1280x960 screen?
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 1 week ago:
Linux is free? I think you need to have a talk with the folks over at IBM about RHEL or the folks over at EQT about SLES

Actual question: is this just bagged bales of hay? If so, why do they bag them?
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 1 week ago:
This depends entirely on your prescribed system of ethics.
Duty-based ethical systems would say yes, because you have a duty to speak out.
Point utilitarianism would say no, because the good outweighs the bad for that scenario.
The other utilitarianism of which I can’t remember the umbrella term would say yes, because it’s better for everyone if people speak out.
My understanding of Kant is that the unethical act is being performed by the government and that it is not morally wrong to keep a low profile.
TLDR: If you’re asking, the answer is no. If you’re being pedantic, the answer is “it depends”

Does this differ from emulators with which you have to supply a rom? I thought they sued for that too

That’s wild. I would have retained the copyright too, but for the purpose of suing the fuck out of people who misuse it

This here boggles my mind. Why would you discriminate against others when you yourself know what discrimination feels like?

I guess I would like to schedule a meting with the project manager and/or customer to discuss the flag specification…

I’m not advocating for removing the rainbow. You could literally “cut” a big rectangle in the middle and just have a different color background with extra things, paying homage to the original rainbow flag and having center balance. The only good thing I have to say about the chevrons are that it establishes vertical and horizontal orientation.
I’ll have to mull over your statement about being more effective that something planned from the beginning.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 3 weeks ago:
Here’s the thing though, I know this is an ally flag, but it’s like they never considered symbols:
Ignore the really bad black and white background for a second.
Imagine the left side of the shape is an homage to the original pride flag and the right side is WHATEVER YOU WANT TO PUT IN IT. Uniform clean design with representation. Easy to draw for the layman (fill both sides in with rainbow if you want), and easy to add specific representation

You should ask Best Buy why a signature was not required

I’m pretty sure I had something similar. But I had to sign for it. They literally would not give me my phone without signing for it first.
- Comment on Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die 3 weeks ago:
I mean you can get dice weighted differently so you almost always get a 6 and a 1 for example.
There’s no point in weighing one die. The odds are the same as not weighing any die
- Comment on Driver stops in the middle of a cross ride, and starts using her phone. 4 weeks ago:
Shit happens. I’m not saying this person is right to do what they did, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that this was a mistake.
You need to run awareness campaigns when you put in new traffic signals and enforce them so people know how they work.
There are so many steps before going “fuck this guy” just on one interaction:
-
Enforcement: make sure they know there’s a consequence
-
Public transport: Give people who can’t drive worth a shit an alternative
-
Engineered check: Raise a physical barrier to prevent cars from taking this position or prevent cars from using the intersection altogether. Or, grade separate cars and other modes of transportation
The goal is safety and not just to shit on someone. It really could just be a mistake. We all make them. Nobody died this time. Make people aware so people don’t die next time.

- Comment on Driver stops in the middle of a cross ride, and starts using her phone. 4 weeks ago:
Seriously? Maybe they were from out of town and cross rides aren’t a thing where they are from. At least in the US, you are not required to take a written test to drive in another state.
Also, new traffic patterns are being introduced all the time. Perhaps cross rides weren’t a thing when they took their written or driving test.
In a world where you need to continually prove your knowledge of a given area to drive there, I would agree with you. But this is not that world.
- Comment on Driver stops in the middle of a cross ride, and starts using her phone. 4 weeks ago:
This is why as much as I like to drive my car fast, we need to reduce speed limits, get rid of left on red/right on red situations, and reduce the number of lanes to force alternatives. Not everyone wants to drive or is able to drive safely. Don’t force them to drive. Give them public transport
