@ClaraListensprechen4 What do you mean?
Sorry no, but now that ive quit my israel job ill have a lot of free time. I plan to invest some of that in qoto these coming weeks. Ill look into this.
@freemo signing up just to compare is okay, but I'm not signing up to #threads
because the entire point of federation is so that you don't need a separate account everywhere. (Once they actually enable federation)
As for the commotion it seems weird and a lack of understanding what federation means.
Like what does it matter if you are using a small/your own email server if Gmail joins the email system.
They aren't going to start sending you spam (that would get them blocked).
But it does mean you can now send messages to and from people you know on that system, with no down sides.
Having the #Freedom for each person to choose if they want an ad free small server, or a big player that might have a slicker interface/search (but has adverts), while still being able to communicate with each other is a good thing.
@sgryphon agreed here
Ahh in that case we agree, half r looks nicer here.
@norapink @gamesbymanuel @Illuminatus
Yea its a fairly hyperbolic analogy, but then again so is the idea thst it isnt stealing.
@customdesigned Ok so its not an oxymoron at all, people should just be ok challenging the majority.
I would agree, you should. But when your opinions contradict the majority on almost everything then you are likely the one in the wrong.
No they are.. when you run on a VM it is indistinguishable to the software from running on the OS itself... the only thing a VM cant do is if it needs access to the GPU, so its not a solution for games of things with GPU acceleration, outside of that 100% of apps are garunteed to work because it looks identical to the app to windows.
What they mean when they say it isnt compatible is that it wont run on linux directly.
By that logic piracy isnt stealing, its more like forced slavery since your stealing peoples time rather than a physical object.
@john yea ive used macs.. its a nice little feature.
@trinsec I just increased the size of my mouse slightly and it usually works for me as long as im at my home computer... in sunlight on my laptop is another story though
@trinsec mac and linux have similar features to show the mouse if you want it.
