People on Lemmy are really good at seeing past capitalist propaganda, except when it comes to China. At that point it's just straight up US state department talking points.

Word. Unfortunately I cannot like Ubuntu for all of canonicals decisions, but there's no doubt they have designed the most iconic Linux DE there is.
So much so that if someone who doesn't use Linux thinks of Linux, they imagine Ubuntu.
Cool. Is anything gonna happen? No? Then who cares. Just smoke and mirrors.
It will take way longer for them to shut down all individual servers than it takes them to ask 1 company to shut down all posts.
Not to mention the dissent that arrises from one server being asked to shut down, how many others would suddenly start hosting anti-turkey regime stuff.
Its like piracy: you can't really shut it down. Even if Turkey would make accessing the fediverse illegal, people would still use VPNs.
Had me in the first half xD
It's opt-in in the same way the Co-pilot that one day just appeared installed on your computer was opt-in. /s
Its not like there isn't a backlash against Android either. There's a reason why projects like GrapheneOS exist.
No worries, I also started test driving Linux a month ago in preparation for when Windows 10 stops being officially supported.
Same on lemmy... Yet, here we are? I'd call that a win.
I'd rather have a bunch of smaller dudes hosting servers than yet another US multinational that will use their money to destroy democracies around the world.
You're right. The effort of writing 2 sentences to promote a platform some people may not have checked out in some time, if at all, was definitely wasted. I'll remember that next time.
Its good to know this will be optional in Europe. But at this point, do I even care?
2025 will be the year that Linux will see an influx of users, and it will all be due to Microsoft's anti-consumer practices.
Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that buddy.
I'm sure you also used that cope when Harvard university (that well-known Chinese university) found 95.5% of Chinese people are happy with their government, compared to only 38% of USians.
