If I look or go outside, I'll notice the blizzard, and adapt accordingly (get a scarf, umbrella...). If there's a blizzard but I don't even look outside to notice it, that means I don't have to adapt to it, and thus not even be informed of its existence.
I wonder how much of Lemmy would be left to view if you added Linux.
Star Trek. Star Trek everywhere.
Ok I’m not a nerd. Grew up in the 90s and started on windows 95… switched to a Mac in 2007 as I went into design work. I always wanted to try Linux and I was gonna install it on an old windows based laptop during covid for fun but couldn’t find the charger for it.
What’s the big fuss about Linux? Is it just an alternative to the big two or is there something special about it that the other two can’t do?
Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).
Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.
A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It's powerfully but that's a double edge sword. It's easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.
Because it's completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that's true of windows and macos.
It's vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.
It's popular with nerds because it's free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it's all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.

So it’s safer from tracking? I have Adblock and anti tracker stuff on all my browsers on my Mac but idk if it really works
It is yes. There's no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.
That's NOT the same as ad blocking.
Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.
That a good move I dodn't think of. I usually try to not read much to not see the world ad shitty.
This is honestly the move
"Spider, Spiders, Trump" was one of the least successful children's books of all time.
Take that spider republicans
Arachno-capitalist?
Not unless you do musk as well.
Musk, Tesla, and cybertruck were my most recent additions. I do not have the bandwidth to care about one auto company who is bad at making cars.
I work as a valet driver and omg do I hate teslas. Even if Tesla was run by Bernie sanders himself I’d hate the fucking things.
Take a bunch of nerds who’ve never driven a car before and ask them to design one and poof a Tesla pops out. Horrendous. The fact that visually the cyber truck looks like a four year olds drawing turned into real life is just the icing on the cake.
The fuck did DQ ever do to you?
Activision-Blizzard maybe?
He lost his mom to an Oreo Blizzard, I can't blame him. She was eating one, got lost and never came home.
Arachnids
What's wrong with spiders?
Don't like em
So you love mosquitos and flies. Got it.
They lost the election
Them too?
That's how elections work: one wins, everyone else loses
We are all election loosers on this blessed day
Is it just star trek and linux left?
Nah, they've got head and sand as well.
don't forget about 196

doesn't spider cover spiders? Does it look for whole words?
Noooooo, straight literal string I believe, I learned that the hard way
One solution to the Scunthorpe problem
But then wouldn’t you want to put democrats and conservatives and kamalas?
I mean I usually don't bother adding it until it comes up
