they don’t sell your data. advertisers just pick out the target audience and meta places the ads for them. This is the way google and meta have been doing ads for a while. Actually selling your data is illegal.

They still use your data to push ads so it’s a violation of privacy. Just wanna get the facts straight.

Unless there’s been some leak recently I’m unaware of?

don’t have netflix, hoping there’s a torrent or something :D

the graphs are separate, not superimposed. I agree it’s confusing

I’m something of a gopher myself you know

what is the rust one again. It looks so familiar but eludes me

edit: it’s nodejs

ah, I think you meant “than”. Fair enough, my recent experience has been super smooth

Plasma and Cinnamon are two different Desktops, one can’t be in the other :) Did you mean Plasma on Mint?

That’s a good point!

Hm thanks for sharing your experience, it’s very different from mine though. Have you used Plasma recently (Version 6+) ? And have you used it on a distro where it came pre-packaged? In my (limited) experience any DE installed on Arch is janky out of the box.

Which Desktop did you settle on as a favorite?

• Plasma is more similar to Windows
• Plasma is more customizable
• Plasma is just as beginner-friendly
• Plasma has more features
• Plasma is more actively developed
• Plasma looks better

Don’t get me wrong, Cinnamon is fine, but it gets recommended religiously to beginners for some reason. It just doesn’t make sense, so I will keep repeating this, not least to keep alive the ancient linux tradition of Desktop wars.

Still, any Windows to Linux transition is a step forward and I support this, upvoted.

TIL go is an interpreted language and runs straight from source code!

just me being pessimistc and building off my experience with Germans in general

OpenSUSE is a German company which makes the probability of them supporting Israel very high.

I thought we all agreed that “immutable” is a confusing term and that we should call it “atomic”

edit: I was wrong

bcrypt… with how many iterations? seems like an important detail

gulag for everybody who thinks this is news. The guy is literally a fascist and we are supposed to be angry about how his humanoid robots look kinda human? who tf cares

Good for Nix! Horrible article though lmao

The ad revenue part is true but what do you mean by not harvesting data? Mastodon definitely stores your boosts and likes, it just doesn’t use that data to recommend more content. And the big difference is of course that it is stored on your instance’s server, not a centralized location.
