Maybe you were just unlucky in your specific hardware combination? I did literally dozens of Ubuntu installations on very different hardware over the years. Most of the time it was a matter of minutes, and without any glitches or need for troubleshooting.
People like to complain that Linux is complicated to setup and use. In recent years, it’s increasingly the opposite. Basic windows settings locations are shuffled around and hidden and you have to use the Windows Commandline/Powershell to get things done. And installing Linux is also much faster and most of all doesn’t ask you a hundred questions how to best steal your data.
I’m not happy with Honor and I will not buy another one. So much bloat, crap that connects to chinese servers and can’t be uninstalled or even disabled.
Maybe vassals is too strong-worded to describe the phenomenon. But living in western Europe I have firsthand experience in the relationship between the US and my country in the past decades. The US offered protection to the “free world”, but of course this comes at a price. The US had to be regarded as a role model in many ways, and everything that came out of the US, was copied and implemented verbatim. Which made the US the de facto puppet master and they really liked that role. This relationship was carefully orchestrated and nurtured by the US from the end of WW2 onwards, and the effect was that European countries embraced this strategy and viewed the US in a positive light, no obvious power play or bullying necessary. But the fact is, there always was a strong dependency on the US, and this was by US design.
Trump doesn’t realize that there was good reason for choosing such a “soft” strategy, he can’t because bullying is his only available tactic. He will soon find out that his perceived european vassal states don’t respond as well to hostility and blackmail as he might have expected.
They already want to declare people criticizing Trump as mentally ill in order to silence them. That speed run is in full effect.
I thought it was funny then suddenly remembered i’m over 50 :(
Even if that is the case, we still have laws and worker’s rights. These rules are pretty strict. If those workers have a doctor’s attest there is absolutely nothing Tesla can do about it (apart from intimidation attempts, and this is what they do) With the help of unions those workers will eventually be compensated, regardless of what any politicians might want.
Insert “Always has been” meme here
Also every movement starts small. It might not matter much on an individual level but you gotta start somewhere.
In addition to what others have said, ESP32 is often used by hobbyists, like a more powerful Arduino. These devices are extremely versatile and cheap. I have several of these in my home automation and this is very bad news :(
Is there any way to liberate existing ebooks now that Amazon has pulled the plug on downloading? An unfortunate friend of mine has “bought" Books from Amazon for thousands of euros and he just now finds out that he doesn’t seem to own them. I’d help him free his books if there is a possibility.
It could be that the Nazis recruited some black people abroad, like you said in legions, as mercenaries or in colonies to do the dirty work for them, but they never ever would have given them high ranking titles due to their fucked up race ideology.
No, there were none. Where do you get your history knowledge? From anime?
I think the most important part to understand with lemmy is that the choice of server doesn’t matter that much because you can read and post on all the other servers as well. Unless you choose hexbear or whatever it is called these days. :)
But it really is a problem when people can’t be bothered to choose from more than exactly one. I mean if you can make a selection from several different brands of toilet paper in a supermarket then why is it so hard to choose a server?
Even the part about Google Search only highlights the AI crap and skips over the real problem of increasingly worse search results. The whole article is more of a rant from a user’s perspective and there aren’t any real insights.
To put this into perspective, there were 207640 new cars registered in January, of which 1277 were Teslas. That’s a measly 0.62 percent of total new car registrations.
Thing is, young people don’t get to tell me what I have to do. I don’t give a shit what younger people deem appropriate for my age. If I want to wear a hoodie at 50 then I’ll wear a hoodie. Now get off my lawn.
Yeah, I know. Especially the MS Office dominance is still a problem in business scenarios. For private use though there are office solutions which are “good enough” (Office 365 and Google Docs, Spreadsheets etc in a Browser, Libreoffice to name a few)
