More things used to be free on internet 10-20 years ago.

Also the rich used to be less rich, and the poor less poor.

So clearly paying overpriced services for everything is not making anything better.

If buying is not owning, pirating is not stealing.

Is there any mod you know for making the world larger/infinite?

I was a big fan of just traveling in Minecraft and finding new areas along the way. But minetest space constrains seems not to fit that playstyle unless there’s a mod I don’t know of.

I’m Spanish. And really, that judge is just in the pocket of the spanish media corporations. Telegram is used by 8 million spanish users daily for lots of different things.

Recently the UE forced WhatsApp to open a protocol so it can be compatible precisely with Telegram to avoid a monopoly.

If telegram elevates to the european court due to abuse of the spanish authorities they should win.

Everytime I want a distro that just works I just roll with Linux Mint.

Being one of the most popular distro if something goes wrong is really easy to find how to fix it .

I’ve usually run linux until I got sick of having problems with it and then install windows… until I got sick of having problems with it and then switch to linux again.

There is no OS without issues. In my experience, that may not be the same as others, linux problems tend to be more frequent, smaller and easier to fix. While windows problems tend to be less frequent but more problematic and harder to fix (I’m looking at you windows update which destroyed all my OS).

But if you are going to use linux you are going to need to tweak some things. The tinkering to make it all work is easy as the community forums have all the answers (btw windows support forums are the WORST, 99% of proposed solutions are useless).

For the sake of lemmy civility and prosperity I just didn’t want to start an argument.

Let’s just say I did read the whole article before posting and shouldn’t be assumed otherwise unless there was something incorrect being said, which was imposible due the nature of the comment itself.

Renaming the files wont change the filetype.

Also the images won’t loose quality for looking at them, opening or moving them. Only if you reapply the jpg compressing algorithm over them.

Four handed counter hacking on the same keyboard was peak TV.

I dont think I’ve ever click on an ad on purpose. I’ve clicked for mistake I closed right away. Never ever bought anything from an ad.

Here in spain conservative parents take their children to religious schools which already have mandatory school uniform. So it’s not in their agenda to push it to non-religious schools.

It should be notes that these religious schools are public founded. Which is another topic by itself, but you should know that we already have public funded schools with mandatory uniform.

I know some schools in my country use their own linux distribution on pair with windows. And my organization has also their own linux distribution but it is barely used really. I dont know anyone who uses it, but I do know it exists.

There’s anothee way to keep having access to software no matter what companies do.

I have the generic steam crack well saved in my computer in case the decide to pull the plug.

I use thunderbird, though it really feels like it has terrible performance for me. Feels like a really heavy program for just an email client.

Still better than having ads on your client.

Don’t kink shame. It’s their kink and we have to respect it. They like it rough.

Sometimes they are more convenient, than cd ls mv cp everything, when you don’t have access to a file explorer.

Specially if you are working with a server via ssh, or some machine without any Desktop Environment installed.

Same here.

Still on liftoff. Works good enough for now though it’s true ghat updates are scarce right now.

I genuinely tried to look for a legit way to make it an option for paying in a small online store without having to depend on paypal or a bank gateway.

Well transaction fees for any big coin are like many dollars per transaction. It’s ridiculous. For smaller transaction fees you have to go to smaller coins that can disappear or lose half their value one day to the next.

And still, if we forget thar people wouls need to pay like a 14€ fee for 1€ transaction. They still have to go to a exange to change their money, and then I have to change it back, because very little things can be bought with crypto, less with cryptos that doesn’t have ridiculous transaction fees.

Did I mention than transaction are not instantaneous either? Unless you pay big transaction fee or use some obscure coin that no one uses.

At the end, I ended up with paypal. I really wanted a way to be “independent” of big companies for transaction. But crypto is completely ruined (if it was ever functional that I doubt it). It’s not a coin, they are just speculation and bets. With cybercrime and drug dealing being the only “real” uses it has.
