yes because having assigned reading material directly and specifically relevant to the subject of the class is exactly the same as registering for a website full of shitposts and propaganda bots. remember when you got all that spam from opening your textbook, and there was an entire chapter calling you out for being a little bitch?
that’s the stupidest comparison i’ve ever heard.
“hey there’s this thing called lemmy, check it out some time” <- leading a horse to water
“ok you have to register an account on lemmy, it’s part of your grade” <- shoving a hose down the horse’s throat and cranking the spigot
requiring my students to create Lemmy accounts
No. Nobody likes registering accounts for random services because an authority figure told them they had to, I feel like if it were me I would do the bare minimum of interacting that I was required to and never look at the service again out of resentment.
right now mine has manjaro+cinnamon. i booted my wife’s Win11 laptop to it so she could test drive it and within ten minutes she was asking how to get to the installer. i hope to repeat this process with others as well.
i find that people who cry about this-or-that is destroying humor or whatever, are pretty much universally bad at being funny. maybe up your game and stop blaming punctuation.
oh look another troll dragging geopolitical culture war bullshit into everything
or, as i like to call it, gnu plus linux
basically everything beyond launching itunes/safari/whatever is tucked away in weird non-obvious places. i literally had to have someone show me how to get the list of all apps (it’s called something absolutely baffling that i’ve since forgotten) after clicking on and combing through things for like half an hour. the longest it’s taken me to suss out the same, to get a list of applications, on literally any other OS has been seconds, maybe a minute at longest.
so yeah, my example is the single most basic thing a user should be able to do in order to use the computer, is so unintuitive on mac that a grown ass adult who is a chronic distro-hopper needed help figuring it out. and god forbid you want to change a setting beyond the wifi, screen brightness, and audio volume.
it went over my head, sorry for the mistake. have a lovely day.
you know VMs are a thing, right?
how is reactos these days? is it a drop-in replacement for windblows yet?
hello, are you me? i love my kobo clara but hot damn i miss that sony ebook.
As a Linux user whose first distro was Arch, I heartily endorse this advice. Arch is a terrible place to start.
this is news to all of us greymuzzles with multiple decades invested in the fandom
it sounds like you’re not only deeply insecure but unwilling to better yourself out of a misguided sense of spite
i think SHS just straight up looks like a bridge troll in drag
“criming on people for being minorities should not be a crime in itself because muh freeze peach” lmao what an idiotic take
most people out here commenting without reading the article, this madlad not even reading the link first
i can’t decide if it’s sadder that you’re this triggered or that you’re trying to hide it behind photos of tourism sites and vague concerns about a culture you clearly didn’t have time to appreciate yourself.
It’s all too common when anti-phrenology people don’t understand phreno101.
