The DESA anthem goes hard.

The following is just my own assumptions, take with a grain of salt.

Phones are often taken out to perform a quick task, then stashed back in a pocket/bag many times a day. As such, being able to unlock a phone quickly is a rather useful feature.

On the other hand, laptops are usually taken out to be used for larger tasks, and as such, do not need to be unlocked as often.

Fingerprint scanners add less value to a laptop than they do a phone.

My dad got me a Linux laptop as a kid (I was 10 I think?), and I am so grateful that he did.

To be fair, I already had a huge passion for computing, and it meant that I would constantly toy around with Linux, breaking things and learning how to fix them.

I have been a Linux user ever since, and I feel have learnt so much about computing because of it.

(I started on Ubuntu 12.04, with the glorious Unity desktop)

Freeloaders, like large corporations taking open source and then not giving back, is yet another symptom of a system that rewards extraction and self interest.

FOSS exists despite capitalism. The fact that people are willing to work on something out of their own passion, or sense of community, directly contradicts the fundamental assertion of capitalism.

Humans are not inherently greedy.

Explain open source, free software, linux community, lemmy / the fediverse, and many many other things not formed around profit, largely maintained by people in their free time motivated by community over profit.

People aren’t inherently greedy. People are born into a system that rewards greed, and punishes altruism. There have been many different societies with many different political and economic systems, and capitalism is a fairly new one all things considered.

Rational self interest is irrational. If only a few can succeed, chances are you fail. If everyone only looks out for themselves, then everyone fails. Humanity’s biggest strength — what set us apart from many other animals — is our ability to work together and look out for each other.

Capitalism doesn’t work, and is destroying the Earth.

Unrealistic. Gameboys never die.

It’s actually when they mention the Lemmy community. Mastodon users seem to get confused which accounts are Lemmy accounts vs which accounts are Mastodon.

The name being the same causes the confusion, but is not the reason for the post coming to Lemmy.

what da trout doin?

seems this dojo teaches the ancient art of destroying your self first lmao

Your guess is as good as mine.

Pretty sure it’s a weird “National Pharmacies” ad campaign, from Australia. I guess the fact I know this means it’s worked somewhat.

Edit: Here’s another version of the ad.

i love cooking in a europan

adhd prolly idk

tbh i dont think i’ve ever needed w3schools, mdn has always been plenty for me.

Using Rice/Ricing is perfectly fine. Words change meaning and evolve with different communities. In a Linux minded community such as this, you’ll be hard pressed to find people that will confuse Ricing for anything other than a fancy DE/WM.

Most people will understand Rice by the r/unixporn definition: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/wiki/themeing/dictionary/#wiki_rice
