Liberal is a term for a real ideology, Tankie is not.

I started with Arch too! Thinking in drop it only if is for Artix or ParabolaOS

There have been Linux distros that cover 100% of Windows functionality without the need to use CLI (and even add more functionality) for years. I think the only possible way to have problems is with Wayland and NVIDIA. Usability has never been the problem: the problem is that Windows is the industry standard, so most applications and games are developed for it, most workplaces use it, all computers come with it pre-installed…

Yes, btw, you know that any site can do this right?

In my opinion, the only proprietary brownser (and remember that it is partially proprietary) worth even though it is proprietary is Vivaldi

The Jetsons still lived in a world with class exploitation, George works on a bulshit job btw.

And that’s how Unreal become a monopoly in 3d game development

When we no longer have an irrational need to increase profits, it becomes much easier to change production lines to emit less and less carbon.

China, by the way, is the leader in clean energy, despite being the country with the most emissions, which is simply explained by the fact that it was until recently also the country with the largest population in the world.

That could be done better without the private companies at all.

Even if it’s just the OS keeping apps on memory for faster launches. If you do need heavy RAM for a task your OS is clever enough to reshuffle things.

The problem is that when it is relocated, processor consumption increases. And as matter of fact, my operating system doesn’t cache anything and still opens applications very quickly, even faster than Windows.

Used RAM does use more electricity but that is so neglible it’s a non-issue and no argument.

Maybe isn’t a issue to you but for anyone with a laptop it is and it’s pretty visible.

Also, please, don’t fall for the Reddit (and now Lemmy) bizarre habit of showing a screenshot of Windows using 4 GBs of RAM and claiming “iT’s AlL tHe bLoaT” because that’s not how Windows’ RAM allocation has worked for the past two decades.

RAM usage is RAM usage, and besides the allocation still being awful and you probably having less RAM available in a heavy task, this means substantial power consumption, that costs money.

You can think that it’s normal to do a bunch of things that threaten the system stability to get an OS that barely pretends it’s not spying on you anymore. I do not think it’s. I don’t think it’s normal to have to disable advertising on a paid system, but to each their own “¯_(ツ)_/¯”.

It won’t even run with less than 8 gb

hahahahahahahaha

Didn’t you read the post? They are probably doing a remaster or remake and don’t want people to buy the old version…

The Lorax

Perhaps to make people pay for the new one.

What is the conclusion of this statement?

First: nothing you buy will ever be free from exploitation under this system.

Second: buying one product over another will make no difference in society and the world.

Actually, this second conclusion is also a derivation of another statement: individuals do not change a society, collectives do. Boycotts, which are another attempt at conscious consumption, sometimes manage to shut down companies, but they never manage to end the harmful production pattern that these companies were applying in the first place.

And that doesn’t mean we should stop consuming everything, because it’s impossible to live without consuming.

In the end, conscious consumption only serves to feel good (falsely) about yourself. What is an honest reason to do something.
