What’s unexpected is that they didn’t plan the collaboration years in advance.

Your local county extension office and nearby universities with agricultural programs.

This situation you describe is legitimately one of my greatest fears as a parent. I have little useful advice to give; all I can really say is “good luck” and to research terms like “elsagate,” “gamergate” and “PewDiePipeline” to see what advice actual experts (psychologists etc.) have about deprogramming kids from them.

I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential.

I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because my computer-illiterate parents had absolutely no clue what the Internet was capable of exposing me to. Frankly, it was only dumb luck on their part that I happened to have the right personality and skills not to succumb to inceldom, the Alt-Right, or some other kind of radicalization.

(Even more frankly, maybe I did succumb to radicalization: I am, after all, an urbanist leftist Linux user (among other weird things) who likes to hang out on Lemmy, LOL!)

I don’t recall the reasons for the addition but /media is newer than /mnt.

Something to do with hard-coded mounts in /etc/fstab vs. dynamically-mounted removable media (USB drives etc.), I think.

it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!

Some suburbs are nice, too.

It’s precisely the streetcar suburbs that are nice, and they are nice precisely because they are not car-dependent.

No, because a kibbutz (planned intentional community) would be the “cathedral” in that analogy, and the city (incrementally developed community) would be the bazaar.

Linux is the communal kibbutz, Windows is the corporate city.

I was 100% with you until you decided to go and diss cities.

Cities are great and neighborhoods within them can have plenty of sense of community; it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!

The only trouble is that, at this point, Microsoft leaked code is so inferior nobody wants it anyway.

Similarly, affluent white suburbs of Atlanta are included, but Fulton County itself (where most of the actual city is) and the poor black suburb of Clayton County are missing. I wonder what the difference could be?

And liberal big cities, like Atlanta.

Apply for a refund (regardless of how many hours played you have).

That’s exactly why consoles are exploitative anti-consumer trash that ought to be cracked down on by the FTC, though.

Damn who imagined that gaming would be the topic that made the FOSS OSes relevant.

Frankly, that’s been obvious for a pretty long time now. I’ve been hearing “but I need Windows for gaming” as people’s primary excuse for not switching since literally two decades ago.

No, in the sense that violating people’s privacy should be disallowed entirely and not be a matter of “consent.” If a website requires payment then it should be a payment from all users in order to receive access, not just from privacy-conscious users in order to receive privacy.

Have you considered eco-terrorism? \s

Depends on the citizenship rules of the particular countries involved (jus sanguinis vs. jus soli and details thereof).

If a mother from a jus sanguinis country gives birth in a jus soli country the kid might have dual citizenship. In the opposite situation, the kid might theoretically be born stateless, although I’m pretty sure actual nationality laws make exceptions to prevent that in practice.

i think what we’re seeing is the 35+ y.o. people gradually cutting back because the doctor’s telling them to stop beating the shit out of their liver

No, that’s not how the graph works. It isn’t following one generational cohort as they age; it’s measuring the behavior of a certain age group and switching to new people as they age out.

It’s only measuring the second part of what you wrote.

IMO, you should comment about your own opinion, not one you think others might have.

Also IMO, removing comments should rarely be done (i.e. only in extreme cases), to maintain the integrity of the discussion. This is one of the things I still miss about Slashdot: comments were immutable.

Are you kidding me? That was a masterpiece the first time I watched it and it continues to be one every time I rewatch it.
