Please. For the love of god, NEVER use a proprietary app to use a piece of FOSS software. I think it's kind of sad that we have this amazing FOSS social network and people use fucking proprietary software to use it.

This looks like the final layer of hell. Your coworker writes their scripts in another language and now you have to decipher what the hell they mean. Who has a problem woth English for development tools, etc.? It's really not a monumental task to learn it, and I'm not even a native speaker.

Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don't give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.

Machines and human workers can coexist. They don't have to replace them.

Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.

The real problem here is the fact that the car has GPS and the owners can't even control it. Welcome to the 21st century!

On the internet, even if it's a very nice open source platform, always operate under the assumption that nothing you say or do is anonymous. This is Internet usage 101, however, people seem to always ignore this. Do with this as you will :)

For all the people saying that privacy-oriented Youtube channels are a contradiction.

The point of these channels is to make more people privacy conscious. And where do you find people that aren't very privacy conscious? That's right, YouTube. I actually think what these creators are doing is a great sacrifice in terms of their own, personal privacy, but making people aware.

If I was a JS programmer, I'd just write a bash script to download it every week for fun.

WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get

  • Used for software such as Microsoft Word, where formatting the text actually changes what you see on the screen

While I do agree that most things in life are somehow connected to politics and that it needs to be discussed, when I come somewhere, in real life or online, and I want to chill out, I really don't want to hear about it. Political communities exist, even here on Lemmy. Let's keep politics out of cooking, meme, and other not politically oriented communities please :)

In any eastern European country, I simply look the driver dead in the eye and pass, if they're far enough to actually stop. However, whenever I visit Greece, especially Athens, not even the green light can save you. There is a running joke among Greeks and it goes along the lines of "stronger car wins". Basically, if you have a fast car, you have priority on any intersections and pedestrian crossings, and the police do jack shit about it.

Man, I love Greece, beautiful country, amazing people, but with disfunctioning police and government in general.

What did they automate? I'm trying to get some ideas for my Neov... uhhhh... Emacs with evil-mode setup.

If the US can do it, so can China. But, of course, both suck (iPhone and Huawei).

Many people have asked me this (I'm the certified neighborhood tech guy :P), I always recommend Linux Mint, with the Cinnamon desktop environment, or KDE. Ubuntu used to be the best one and it's still very good, but pretty heavy on hardware and they keep adding frustrating features nobody asked for.

Please please please, at the start, stay away from Arch and it's derivatives. I daily Gentoo, but you need a decent knowledge of Linux to use both. If you need help, post to the Linux community or DM me :)

Because the giant media streaming corporations definitely don't. Even though you pay them. Right?
