Same in Sweden. Tesla even tried to bypass Swedish laws here and failed badly.
Looking for an alternative to reddit

I think the larger problem is that we are now trying to be non-controversal to avoid downvotes.
Who thinks it’s a good idea to self censor on social media? Because that’s what you are doing, because of the downvote system.
I will never agree downvotes are a net positive. They create censorship and allows the ignorant mob or bots to push down things they don’t like reading.
Bots make it worse of course, since they can just downvote whatever they are programmed to downvote, and upvote things that they want to be visible. Basically it’s like having an army of minions to manipulate entire platforms.
All because of downvotes and upvotes. Of course there should be a way to express that you agree or disagree but should that affect visibility directly? I don’t think so.
Enjoy your time before robots, implants, and constant camera survellience.
As long as their goals suite the company, sure. The endgame of Google is very clear and it doesn’t include a free and open web.
I’m typing this on an android which has Linux inside, so… Yeah. It’s pretty awesome.
What happened to microsoft’s phones? Couldn’t really compete I guess.
These labels are pointless anyway. Use tech that respects you as a user. Microsoft is not it.
You think people choose Microsoft Windows because of free choice? You know it’s pre-installed on every computer right?
New users don’t make an active choice. Windows is default. Alternatives are better than windows, but must be recommended to users so they know about it.
Users being passionate about a free product because they love it… Is that marketing? There is no agenda here besides wanting to help other computer users not be exploited.
The behavior of big tech is unacceptable and users would not choose to be treated like that if they had an alternative. They just need to find out about that alternative. Linux users are really passionate about this because we know it’s an amazing operating system.
Yeah the idea is nice but not with Microsoft seeing the data.
That’s nice but Microsoft is a professional goal post mover.
They even have users arguing for that the operating system must make money somehow since it’s free now. :)
Plasma needs a decent graphics card so that’s probably why. You can disable a lot of the effects in the control panel though but it may not help.
I guess the fastest desktop is xfce otherwise, it’s so fast that apps launches instantaneously. Reminds me of how fast computers can actually be without eye candy.
You can easily install and try it on arch to see if you like it. Good instructions in arch wiki as usual.
There are more users now, some are tired of the Linux recommendations in every thread.
They are wrong of course and should just switch. :)
Good work getting through arch installer, it can be tricky too. I’ve been on arch for like 10 years and still don’t think anything else is better.
We do, but nerds don’t find girlfriends easily … :)

Yeah I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for many years now, but sure, a few games don’t work. I’m OK with that since almost all actually do work.
Yeah this is all my company cared about. They trust that it will be disabled…
Mac is a lot easier to get started with, so absolutely. The downside is that people get pulled into the ecosystem of apple, with specific chargers, keyboards, adapters… Many of my friends use macs and they also start to buy iPhones and other apple gear.
Doesn’t it say more about the users than Microsoft? Seems to me that people who don’t care about computers will accept anything coming from big tech…
Yeah but I think most of us have already… We are not many enough to matter though. Microsoft and Google will continue to do what they want with 99% of users.
It’s even stranger that employees choose to work in these conditions. I understand that people who work at the packaging floor at Amazon may not have better options, but surely if you are starting to doubt your sanity when going to work, you would find another one?
I guess I’ve never been that desperate myself for a specific job so I don’t get it.
