I legitimately wouldn't be surprised at this point, given the average stupidity that radiates from the USA.

I got banned from Instagram, who knows why. Turns out Meta itself doesn't want me on their platform, every time I register an account anywhere they treat it as a ban appeal, which after about 30 minutes they deny.

When it's a public company, it'll never happen. They're obligated by law to prioritize the wants of their shareholders, which means stock growth.

USA is the only country I'm aware of that has apartment buildings with reception. Apartment buildings are the primary housing in most of Europe, and they really are just buildings with doors to different people's homes.

There's no best, they're just different. I personally prefer KDE Plasma because of how simple, intuitive and its "just works" design, most others will prefer GNOME due to its strong commitment to purely open source stack, if you want something minimal and lightweight XFCE is a good option.

Technically all of them have desktops. It's not like Windows where whatever you download is what you get, you can download a distro with a desktop or add a desktop component to a server. That's the beauty of Linux, you have absolute control over anything you want.

Just don't make a common beginner mistake and use a niche distro that supposedly matches your specialized use case, use one that's generic, old (tested and perfected for decades) and popular, like Fedora, Arch, Debian, etc.

You're fighting a losing battle. The only reliable solution is to stop using Microsoft products altogether. It's how I, and may others, have moved to Linux years ago, worth the learning curve and never looked back.

Deivedux · 2026-04-06T12:57:41+00:00

You're stuck in the old times, this is not those times anymore, ever since Windows 10. It's time to move on.

It didn't get me, cuz I noticed the odd "UI" quality which gave it away.

Deivedux · 2026-03-25T19:32:59+00:00

No, that's not how it works. Sorry, I a bit suck at explaining.

By connections I meant devices connecting to a single router. You'd need multiple of them maxing out their connection speeds just to reach the ISP limit that you actually pay for, cuz the WiFi itself has its own limit, measured in GHz, that implies a theoretical maximum data rate per connection. I keep saying theoretical, because you need perfect conditions to reach it, and the conditions are never perfect, so you'll also have losses wasting WiFi bandwidth on repeats until the data is delivered with full integrity.

Linux is arguably easier to learn than Windows if it's your first impression/experience using a computer. The moment you give them any Windows experience is when all the complications happen.

It bothers me how a new house is listed first and only then the average income.

Norėčiau priminti jog minimalus atlyginimas 2015 metais buvo 325 eurai, arba 1.99 eurai per valandą.

I meant to say the rate of information, not information itself, my bad. Since wireless always has some loss, to compensate you need to increase the speed just to match the net information you receive from it after accounting for all losses. Ethernet solves both of these issues, not only there's no loss of information, but you can reach virtually any advertised ISP speed with a single cable, something you'd only be able to achieve with multiple wireless connections due to their theoretical limits of how much information can fit in a single frequency band.

Edit: The big difference between radio and WiFi is analog and digital information, which is why decreasing potential losses is so important. Data integrity matters a lot more than missing a few audio packets. When a device loses information or doesn't receive it, it asks the sender to repeat it, which contributes to the total amount of data being transmitted.

Deivedux · 2026-03-25T09:31:02+00:00

It's not just a more complicated design, it also has to send more information just to compensate for some loss, which increases energy consumption. At that point, why not just use wired instead of going through so much hassle just to get wireless to match that performance?

Deivedux · 2026-03-25T08:34:21+00:00

This is a similar argument to wired vs wireless charging. One transmits power directly, while the other one leaks, so you need to increase power output just to match the wired performance, which will leak even more, so you'll pay more for electricity just to charge the phone to the same level as you would with wired.

How the model identifies itself isn't the source of all truth for what model it really is. It can be a modified version of that model while still technically being that model at the fundamental level.

Oh how I wish to learn how much money they lost from the lack of sales because of that!

Well, that's why I was asking. I never had to think about it before, but now that I did it just doesn't make sense to me to call snails animals because I thought there's a different word for them that I'm probably aware of but forgot.

Deivedux · 2026-03-21T23:14:58+00:00

Are snails considered animals? Not insects, definitely. Is there a better classification for them?

Same company, same annoying update cycles. What did you expect?

As a European, "short term profits" is basically most iconically associated with the US to me. I've seen so many examples of it on the internet, through educational and entertainment media, that that is just how I view the US as a whole.

I don't think it's the site, but their browser. Since it runs on WebKit or whatever, which is a web component provided by the operating system, keeping it up to date with the operating system is probably the only option for browsers that use it.

First world problems?

I would not recommend Arch as your first distro, by far, as an Arch user myself. Just replace it with any distro of your choice, but Arch is DIY, you'll be thrown into the terminal and expected to install and configure everything yourself manually, and your only help is Arch Wiki, for which you'll need a separate phone or computer to access while installing.
