Aha, that’s what I meant by vilifying. Just bullshit, ad hominems and straw men. Pathetic.

Do you consider literally anything under an open source license to be relevant to open source ideology? I’m sure that if I make a folk replacing the flag with nyancat, davel@lemmy.ml won’t come to tell me that I should change the license and make warnings to those who report it, but to delete worthless nonsense.

This is the same thing, and only holds up because lgtb related things generate controversy, either by X-phobes, people like the OP who use us as virtue signaling with low effort content, and of course those who are afraid to point out nonsense for fear of being vilified as X-phobes.

First community rule in the sidebar:

Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology

in response to Windows 11 users getting mad about a pride icon appearing on their task bar.

I didn’t hear about it, but the usual thing is that people get annoyed if you add unsolicited useless icons in the taskbar, especially if you do it with motivations related to politics or ideology.

If anyone is naive enough to think this is going to support us in any way, I encourage you to just do something like change the wallpaper, and never run random executables, ever. Or, you know, you can also do something that has SOME impact.

Why?

Dual boot, although I usually prefer to drop it rather than go to the trouble.

I wouldn’t recommend virtualization, not only do you lose performance when you need it most, but (depending on the devices and system) setting everything up properly can be very tedious.

Secure boot is still problematic, but it has also become much easier thanks to sbctl; in the best case you only have to delete the keys in the bios and run 3 or 4 generic commands.

Any other contract in everyday life would be invalid under these terms; consent must be affirmative and informed. “I have read and accept the terms” is a crude lie that should be illegal but is tolerated for convenience, and which allows to justify all kinds of abuses.

The mozilla case is even worse, because they’ve even bragged about how they respect affirmative consent by asking their users if they allow telemetry (they’ve never really fully complied), and about being respectful of privacy in general. They deserve to be criticized for it, and that’s what people are doing here, but your responses of “if you don’t like it go away, the competition is worse” only legitimizes bad behavior.

Lawyers love that trick.

“You most likely would have agreed, so why bother asking for your consent?”

as we’ve worked extensively to optimize performance and deliver the best possible experience on these devices.

Hard to believe.

“Everyone” who wants to be informed, but linux is also for the unconcerned or for newcomers.

Not to mention the monopoly that nvidia has on laptops.

Gnome devs being gnome devs.

Archinstall is not at all newbie friendly, especially compared to calamares and endeavourOS setup. Also, having a usblive is very convenient in case of problems.

If you don’t have advanced knowledge nor want to customize it very thoroughly, I don’t see any reason to use arch over endeavourOS. I mean, other than the fun of experimenting with the innards of linux, testing your frustration tolerance, and ending up being able to say “I use arch BTW”.

Cool! Although I’m surprised at such overwhelming support, isn’t this a pretty conservative and authoritarian country?

Good for those who are non-volunteers and have managed to evade/survive it. Forced conscription is slavery and should be outrageous in societies that supposedly respect human rights.

So, you got banned from lemmy.world for transphobia, and you come here to do the same thing, whine and insult?

Flathub maintainers do not upload anything, they just write a manifest pointing to the official source and flathub does the rest. They also cannot modify it freely, approval is required.
