Because its basis was an FOSS package manager, which in typical Microsoft fashion got EEE’d.

From an colleague of mine, who bought an M1 Macbook Pro when they were new; he told me that there was a Wine fork (don’t know the name sadly) for Apple silicon which kinda worked with most (older) Steam games, not as nice as Proton on x86-64 Linux, but good enough for his game tastes. Don’t know if it’s still maintained or not…

Yes, I understand that GNOME (3+) has a place in Linux/*nix world and that, from a common user’s perspective, it might be enough or even more intuitive than Windows and MacOS ever were. Blind hating never helped anyone, especially in FOSS.

For me, as someone outside the common user’s realm, the weird aftertaste of internal dev drama and their decisions which features are “needed” and which are not needed (server-side decorations, tray-items, etc.) deter me from using GNOME more than the annual one-month tryout (“Maybe it isn’t that limiting to me as I thought?”).

Okay, I’ll bite:

Why GNOME? I personally find it very limiting, especially when attempting a Vanilla GNOME config.

“Rules for thee, not for me.”

It’s just standard LaTeX beamer, used by many math and CS professors (and sometimes even by undergrads, due to formatting requirements).

From what I could witness, most likely the “first abuser” is most likely a close family member, either the (step-)father or some uncle or grandfather - people who themselves believe in such values they call “traditional”.

Just hope Microsoft doesn’t move their German headquarters to Kiel for “unrelated reasons”…

Again and again, I am very grateful that you keep this instance alive! <3

While I agree with the message, that the people should leave all centralized Social Media services, the big mistake here is concentrating a massive user-base on one instance (.ml) of one specific service (Lemmy) instead of spreading the influx towards many smaller, but still solid instances and federated services (PieFed, Mastodon, MBin).

Even disregarding .ml’s reputation, if this post does reach a substantial user-base, the only thing happening then is .ml receiving a HoD and people losing faith in the Fediverse as a whole (e: spelling) due to this, sadly. :c

Oh thank you! Had it on my phone without any notifications or anything else to tell me that!

Am an EU resident, so that’s very worrisome to say the least.

Thanks for context!

I hope that as soon as the US will act more iffy, these countermeasures will kick in, as even the US should know then that they aren’t all mighty.

I don’t know if you have more info, but are these measures reversible or absolute?
