I’m having a hard time understanding the criticism on them working with companies, or developing tech towards it, though. I thought it would be a good thing if a Linux company introduced systems for general use, same with Edubuntu. Having Ubuntu on school PCs is definitely better than Windows for example.
Edit: The rest makes sense!
How would they lose Chromium when it’s only about Chrome?
Who cares about chrome? Of all the things Chrome is the easiest to replace. Android is the real deal.
I keep reading this, but why?

Kinda homeless? The victim is the largest french gaming streamer and definitely not homeless. There’s indications of mental health problems but it’s only visible on camera. There are no documents verifying it unfortunately (though it seems evident). The two killers are people he’s known and hung out with for years.
Edit: The apartment was rented specifically for this stream.
I am not dismissing the connection, I just wonder what it’s based upon. Sure, you could assume as such, but starting to talk about the bible will be a conversation that turns in on itself. The largest church i. e., the Catholic church, emphasizes its own existence before the Bible itself, highlighting the church over the scripture in religious matters. And there definitely are several denominations that fully integrate homosexuality (see some Old Catholic churches for example), albeit still in minority but growing. Not that I’m defending anything else about it. I’m not a Christian. But to fully illustrate my point it doesn’t take a long google search to find out that homosexuality can also be blamed as an European import. However, Europeans historically definitely did have a more binary world-view on gender, and there is evidence it impacted colonized countries (British more so than others).
However, does any of this really matter? I am saying that I believe simply blaming today’s homophobia on historical exploitation, which definitely had an socio-economic impact, is not gonna fix what is definitely a problem nowadays. Actually, blaming European colonization for crimes committed by people in Nigeria is taking away from their own responsiblity and agency to improve the issue. Whether religious or not, both LGTBQ+ right nor religious freedom should infringe on one another.
But there are many crimes colonizing countries should pay for until this day. Hope you don’t feel like I’m trying to argue against you, I just wanna have a interesting conversation!
How is this the fault of Europeans? Not saying colonialism didn’t cause an endless list of problems, but the same European countries are in the global minority of having legalized same-sex marriage nowadays lol. None of this is meant to diminish the persecution of homosexuals that happened in the European past. It very much existed, but there’s plenty of evidence of it existing outside of Europe as well.
It’s not at all about the religion.
Same here, but I’m a border generation (born in the late 90s)
You’re out of arguments my man
While this is true, the majority of the wikis are not at all low quality. Some are the only ones existing for a topic. The wikis are community-based, after all.
But its easy to vandalize and is highly profit-driven. The fandom wikis are filled with ads that absolutely destroy navigation. Infamous is the video ad that scrolls you up automatically in the middle of reading once it finishes. You have to pause it to read the article with no interruption.

Actually, the macOS software license specifically mentions to install macOS only on hardware built by Apple itself. The line is not imaginary lol
Technically not. MacOS wouldn’t be what it is today if apple didn’t get any money out of it. They get that money from selling the hardware the software is exclusively on among other things. Let’s say i. e. Ubuntu: When it first got released then it relied on its owners personal revenue for a long time. None of the hardware sold financed Ubuntu, because Ubuntu didn’t earn money through hardware. It’s obvious that the money earned by apple through its sales also go back into macOS, because if the hardware didn’t make any money, macOS ceases to be developed as well.
With OPs logic, every software is technically free. But no, you pay for macOS with the hardware you purchase. You purchase the hardware because of the OS, not because of the hardware. Technically, you could spin the argument and say that you pay for the OS, and for it to be run a certain way and the hardware that comes with it is free. If that sounds like bogus it’s because it is bogus.
Sure, and if you got modern hardware with Windows 7 on it in 2009 then you had up-to-date free Windows since 16 years.
Bruh what? Did you really just say that not having to buy software exclusive to a certain hardware makes the software free?
That’s like saying the OS on a PlayStation is free because you only had to pay for the PlayStation.
Nah man, you purchased the OS with the hardware. That’s why it’s exclusive.
Linux is free open source mate.
Classic recommendations are Linux Mint and Ubuntu, I think Zorin as well, but there are many others. For starters which one you use won’t matter too much, because more likely than not you’re gonna switch again.
I started with Ubuntu because it’s easy to use and I was new. One can argue over the pros and cons. I’m looking at Manjaro at the minute, an easy to install and beginner friendly Arch distro. Really, you can just try most of them out online though. Check out DistroSea and you can actually emulate the OSs with several desktop environments right in your browser.
This goes for life as well. Education? RTFM, studying is a skill and it can be done well as well as ineffectively. There’s many methods nowadays on how to study efficiently, as opposed to cramming knowledge into your short term memory through brute forced memorization (not that all knowledge from school is necessary to be kept).
What’s the issue with snaps? I’m still on Ubuntu ans abkut to switch to Debian, but for me its pretty chill atm because I don’t have to worry about updates or security. I know about the terminal aliases, which could be disclosed better, but it’s not that big of a deal to me. I thought it’s pretty cool to have a “store” that’s curated so I don’t have to worry about security, since I use Linux casually.
