Ah yes, greenwashing. Thanks Microsoft.

Europe asked Google to do this so they can monitor what kind of influence Google has.

Americans taking some inspiration from WeChat.

All, yes. And I have blocked most of the communities that call themselves “News” or similar, but almost only post US politics as news. Yet it still trickles down into other communities.

I tried not opening Lemmy the last few weeks because of the flood of American politics. I’m sure many people felt the same.

We don’t care about upvotes on Lemmy

Support the drug dealers!

Yeah I’m not into that kind of Shitredditorssay bullshittery.

Wow, lots of cope from your part here.

It actually is easier. Especially the last few years. Almost every wifi driver and whatever you want just works out of the box. It has stores that are actually worth using, like the Gnome store. It has everything you want for a modern OS.

You should really try Linux again. Something like Ubuntu or Mint is so noob friendly you can do whatever you want without even opening the terminal.

My point still stands. I said that it’s objectively easier to use. Somebody with more Windows experience will have less trouble with Windows. But people that aren’t versed in computers will find a noob friendly distro much less confusing and easier to use than the turd that is Windows 11.

I have used Windows 95, 97, ME, XP, Vista, 8, 10, 11 and a few Server ones. I have used Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, and many others, with Desktop Environments and headless as well. I have also used a few Macbooks, albeit very limited. And as I said, objectively, Ubuntu and Mint are just much simpler to use than the newer versions of Windows or Mac.

No. It’s easier to use than Windows. Just because you have experience in Windows doesn’t make it objectively easier to use.

You don’t need any knowledge. And the small amount you may need when you run into issues is easier to learn than other OS’s.

I’m not American. I’m European and in my country we have federal laws and federal police.

Close to all scientists

So every police officer can go and answer every call?

Over here we have police zones, and police officers patrol their own zone and handle the issues of their own zone (as long as no outside backup is required). Then we have the federal police that handle national issues and stuff like murders.

“just use linux” is great advice. Not everybody has the money for PC upgrades. And the amount of people that require specific Windows programs and can not switch to an alternative that works on Linux is extremely small.

Interesting. What about federal police?

I meant as in country laws instead of local laws from municipalities and regions.

We have federal laws and local laws where I live, but I don’t live in a federation either.

I think Sweden has federal laws too.

Mastadon and Lemmy use the same protocol.

You can even see accounts and posts from Mastodon on Lemmy, and the other way around too.

But yes, email is great.

There have been more people removed than just the ones with .ru.

The commit also reads this:

Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements. They can come
back in the future if sufficient documentation is provided.

And now some Russians get mad a the corrupt Putinlord because his actions have consequences and they have to go trough all kinds of hoops to get it.

Sometimes the annoyance is important too.
