@asahi95 I used to use I started with Debian, then Ubuntu non-LTS, then LTS, now Pop!_OS.

@hasmis yeah :D

@freemo @SypherNight yeah, you are a bigger target than me. Here I'm just a guy talking about games.

@gamingonlinux OH BOY! this looks good.

@SypherNight @freemo there are many variables. One thing I didn't consider is that I've been mega-block-happy here :( maybe due to bird site trauma, but I blocked at the first sniff of trouble.

@freemo it took me a long time to choose a server! I eventually gravitated to qoto because I liked the description of it, it sounded like a place that respected free speech and was populated by people who largely wanted to do good and discuss their academic work.

Seems like I made a good choice!

@freemo maybe my perspective is skewed because I've only ever existed in qoto.

I’ve noticed that a common default mode for communication on social networks like #Twitter, #Facebook, #Discord, etc. is to be aggressive towards others. It doesn’t matter how innocent or positive a post is; it could always be met by immediate and relentless aggression from some users. For instance, if someone posts “I really love this game” on one of these platforms, they might get responses that accuse them of having deep character flaws because no normal person could like that game. This kind of behavior is very discouraging and stressful for anyone who wants to share their opinions or interests online. This doesn’t tend to happen on most #Mastodon servers, where the communication is more civil and respectful. If people disagree with something on Mastodon, they either go away quietly or simply point it out politely without insulting or harassing the other person. The world should be more like Mastodon and less like other social networks where aggression is the norm. #socialmedia

I dont have much to opine but this is both a tragic and hugely interesting topic to follow. Schools don’t want the inspections and school have started to actively avoid talking or writing about Ofsted ratings. I’ve always taken the ratings with a massive pinch of salt, but will others do the same now when schools are actively calling for their cancellation as well as seemingly ignoring Ofsted outcomes? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-65055779

@trinsec I need to go over the regulation. I will.

@mlohbihler @therobburgessshow I can only imagine what an AI language model trained on Twitter would be like. Goodness. The absolute worst of humanity packed in an artificial brain… we need a movie script for this.

This article says the Right to Repair law would make it a requirement for computer hardware and to be reparable for 10 years. Does a #Chromebook with out of support #ChromeOS mean it is broken? Will Google have to increase the support window to 10 years for Euro Chromebooks? https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/22/new_eu_right_to_repair/?td=rt-3a
