But you need to add one more stat, for paywalled or not, including if they count how many articles you’ve read before they put up the ‘must subscribe’ paywall.

Kyiv’s allies “fear” Russia’s loss in the war against Ukraine because it would involve “unpredictable geopolitics,” according to Zelensky.
Is “unpredictable geopolitics” a euphemism for ‘nuclear war’?
Never said there wasn’t.
Never said that you said.
Just pointing out that it’s not just solely the politics that prevents the change from happening (though that’s a part of it).
There’s a lot of inertia to overcome. It’s not just those with interests protecting those interests.
We already have the technology to replace all fossil fuel energy production and almost all types of fossil fuel burning transport.
Does your above response include this point …
that works as efficiently as oil does
–
Only thing we’re missing is for greedy politicians to get out of the pockets of the fossil fuel industries so that the transition can happen in earnest.
Not saying that you’re wrong at all, but there’s also the issue of completely replacing our infrastructure to support the new technologies, and the costs involved in doing that.
Not an easy task, though a worthy one.
Mr. Biden’s willingness to grant a mutual defense treaty and other benefits to Prince Mohammed is a sharp departure from his vow during the 2020 presidential campaign to ensure the country remains a “pariah” because of human rights violations.
We compromise our morals/ethics again and again in the name of obtaining oil.
We really should come up with a different fuel source for our nation, that works as efficiently as oil does, and leave that region to solve its own political problems.
91·4 months agoand the kernel folks just went “it is the kernel, everything is critical”
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate “go fuck yourself” towards shady ‘security’ companies.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
Try Fedora’s KDE spin (which uses Wayland).
I always thought it has the best hardware support.
I run a dual monitor setup, with no issues, and game often.
However, it’s also not very common that you have a candidate and ex-leader being in court.
I’m not saying don’t cover it at all. Its historical, for sure.
I’m just saying don’t cover JUST THAT and nothing else.
Wish the major News networks would cover this more, instead of just Trump court cases 24/7.
Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.
From the article…
On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.
Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?
Edit: TY to all who responded.
What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!
I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.
Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they’re still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.
And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn’t brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.
If you’re the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.
22·4 months agoI’m sorry if I made you feel that way.
I appreciate that, thank you for saying that. And no, it wasn’t you, its just been a ‘busy’ week for me here on Lemmy is all.
And TY for the education on join-lemmy.org.
I feel like you’re missing the point. Maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, Lemmy World does use it, however it’s a feature of Lemmy itself, not just of Lemmy World. Lemmy World is just one instance of Lemmy and they all use the same markup.
My point is calling it the Lemmy.World markup is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Lemmy is more than just Lemmy.World.
I understand, but also, I was speaking directly to the link that exists in the Lemmy.World’s web-based editor, I have no access to any other web-based or otherwise editors from other servers.
If the Lemmy.World web-based editor is maintained by the Lemmy devs themselves, then it is a Lemmy editor, agreed.
I’m not aware either way though if it is/not, and I’ve been arguing with people that take any slight ambiguity from me as ammo to attack me with, so I was being very specific, based on my own personal use-case and the specific server URL of the link I was speaking of.
Right, so it’s a Lemmy thing, not a Lemmy world thing,
It’s a Lemmy World web client editor thing.
It’s a help page that shows how to format your comments.
That’s not a lemmy.world link
When you hit reply to a comment from the web client, there are several editor buttons you can press, like ‘B’ for bold font, ‘I’ for italic, etc. The farthest to the right is a circle with a ‘?’ mark in it. The link I supplied is the same as pressing that button.
So if you don’t trust the link I gave you, go to https://lemmy.world/ in your web browser, and hit the reply button for any comment, and then press the circle with a ‘?’ inside of the circle button, and you’ll be taken to the same page as “https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html”.
The disclaimer at the end of your comment doesn’t render properly. At least, on Thunder
Yep, it’s an issue with your client.
You’ll need to bug the Thunder client devs to support superscript and subscript fonts, per these Lemmy.World instructions.
The built-in search function works quite well I would say
The UX is a bit funky, but the results are good.
41·4 months agoWhat that comic tells me is that everyone loves standards, as long as they’re the ones controlling the standard.
Personally I suggest Fedora with KDE.
It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.
That’ll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn’t like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.
Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It’s a single checkbox that you click.
