I just realized I have never said this word out loud, but in my mind it sounds like “shown”

Yeha but you know Republicans will just look the other way when confronted with such arguments.

Do they have the non-commercial/no-derivative clause?

That’s exactly what Canonical is trying to do. They are trying to create a system with all the batteries included so people don’t need to worry about installing extra stuff, which means that of course they’ll have a bunch of bloat if you don’t use everything they offer, which is probably the case.

Their end goal is to be able to push this to the masses and maybe one day be able to get compensation for their effort.

I wouldn’t mind if Ubuntu becomes a Microsoft Windows-like product. If that’s what it takes to steal people from the claws of Microsoft, I’m OK with that. That would mean that hardware manufacturers will start developing specialized drivers for their hardware in Linux. To this day, in freaking 2024, I need to have a Windows image in order to configure my headset and mouse because developing the interfaces for Linux is pointless for these companies.

We still have like 50 other distros we can use. Let Ubuntu be that bridge to bring more users to Linux.

I honestly just want to enjoy Linux. If I’m concerned about what happens in every update, I won’t enjoy it.

So I leave the worrying to other people. If something really bad happens that I need to know about, I’ll probably hear about it on these communities.

“Ubuntu did this crazy thing!!!”

Google -> how to disable this crazy thing?

disables the crazy thing

So far I haven’t been hacked (almost 7 years using it) or murdered by the phantom of the bloat. Everything works fine. The only issues I’ve had are Nvidia related. Fuck Nvidia.

Ubuntu literally delivers the promise of a user friendly experience, which is what I want. I don’t want to obsess about the libraries or Init system my distro uses. I just want it to work. I’ll let other amazing minds to worry about the philosophy and technical aspects while I just cruise.

I know I can relax thanks to other people who really worry and want everything to be perfect. I’m really grateful with them, I just don’t want to be them.

Yeha, mistakes have been made but I guess those are understandable for the biggest distro. But that’s the past. We can always switch between distros when needed. Atm Ubuntu is fine.

I get the feelings, but once they added the content in SO, it was no longer their content.

What if I use Ubuntu but I’d rather talk about the kernel than distros?

No, I’m just trying to make everyone feel safe. I know some women wouldn’t feel safe in such a vulnerable space with men moving around.

yeha, piracy isn’t about buying things. You keep bringing up that ultra specific scenario, again using a specific scenario to defend something more general. Do you think piracy is about buying things and then sharing with friends? No. It is about buying something once and distributing it massively to millions of people you don’t even know, who can probably afford the content. For some peiple it is about just downloading content for free.

How much people have a home server that costs thousands of dollars with tens of terabytes to download all the movies they want and then sell a subscription to their NAS, or just share that for free to people who can totally afford paying for a streaming service.

How much people in developing countries pay for illegal streaming boxes that have a return of investment of around 4 years in order to avoid paying for streaming services?

How much people could totally afford one month of a streaming service to watch a series, but instead pirate it?

If you think piracy is about sharing movies with friends, you live in a fairytale.

I pirate movies, I know why I do it and it isn’t ethical at all. I do it because I don’t want to give my money to streaming services. But I don’t lie to myself about what I’m doing. Am I helping someone who really can’t afford the movie? Sure, but I’m mostlikely sharing it with someone like me.

This dog has more style than me.

Yeha, agreed, I wasn’t trying to imply that most men do this, I was trying to say that this is mostly done by men.

So it is a sensitive matter for women, because when it comes to comparing the numbers, they are mostly victims.

I wouldn’t mix them just to find out that rapes did increase because of it. I feel there’s an unnecessary risk in that.

Do you think women aren’t getting raped in their own women-only restroom already? Even women in India and Japan get groped by men in their women only train carriage. The point is that mixing them is just going to increase the number of victims.

I mean, sure, in an office that would be fine. Just the professional context would prevent people from getting caught by coworkers. Plus, people know each other… Like, if Carl rapes Sharon from accounting, Sharon will likely say something about it… It’s the same as in the family. People have no problems sharing the same bathroom for obvious reasons. But bathrooms in public places are different.

In the 3 bathroom scenario, I wouldn’t restrict trans people to the neutral bathroom. Everyone can go to the neutral gender bathroom, or they can go to one that matches their gender identity.

Personally, I’d go to the neutral to pee and to male only to the a shit.

Yes rapists are opportunistic. What I meant to say is that males are known for being the main cause of rape, maybe the wording wasn’t right because I’m not a native English speaker and I’m doing my best at communicating here. It’s obvious that most males aren’t rapists.

I honestly don’t understand your logic. I never said all males are rapists or that it was a high percentage.

I literally said whatever percentage it is, it is enough to be a problem. 70k lives ruined in a year seems like a problem to me.

How many ruined lives for this to be a concern to you?

The point is that changing this might increase the number of rapes. Marginally? Maybe, but why take that unnecessary risk? What’s the point?

Yeha, I think having a third gender neutral bathroom would be nice. But don’t remove the sense of security some women get from women-only bathrooms.

I think most people feel comfortable with the division. I wouldn’t mind going into the gender neutral to pee, but if I had to take a shit, I wouldn’t want to do that next to women.

Yes.

Enough to be considered a problem.
