I feel like I would need to see their accounting books to fully believe that narrative.

The lack of accounting transparency makes all a tale of “trust me I need this money to make this work”.

Genuine question.

How is been running for almost 20 years, most of them with very few ads?

I doubt they had been just sinking money for the kind of their hearts.

I do not know how much it cost to run a service like YouTube. Or how much money they make by ads or other ways. But they have been running for long enough to be a successful business.

And it’s just the latest few years when they are pushing these aggressive techniques.

More things used to be free on internet 10-20 years ago.

Also the rich used to be less rich, and the poor less poor.

So clearly paying overpriced services for everything is not making anything better.

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

NMS development is the best redemption arc story in a long time.

Is there any mod you know for making the world larger/infinite?

I was a big fan of just traveling in Minecraft and finding new areas along the way. But minetest space constrains seems not to fit that playstyle unless there’s a mod I don’t know of.

I’m Spanish. And really, that judge is just in the pocket of the spanish media corporations. Telegram is used by 8 million spanish users daily for lots of different things.

Recently the UE forced WhatsApp to open a protocol so it can be compatible precisely with Telegram to avoid a monopoly.

If telegram elevates to the european court due to abuse of the spanish authorities they should win.

Everytime I want a distro that just works I just roll with Linux Mint.

Being one of the most popular distro if something goes wrong is really easy to find how to fix it .

I’ve usually run linux until I got sick of having problems with it and then install windows… until I got sick of having problems with it and then switch to linux again.

There is no OS without issues. In my experience, that may not be the same as others, linux problems tend to be more frequent, smaller and easier to fix. While windows problems tend to be less frequent but more problematic and harder to fix (I’m looking at you windows update which destroyed all my OS).

But if you are going to use linux you are going to need to tweak some things. The tinkering to make it all work is easy as the community forums have all the answers (btw windows support forums are the WORST, 99% of proposed solutions are useless).

For the sake of lemmy civility and prosperity I just didn’t want to start an argument.

Let’s just say I did read the whole article before posting and shouldn’t be assumed otherwise unless there was something incorrect being said, which was imposible due the nature of the comment itself.

Renaming the files wont change the filetype.

Also the images won’t loose quality for looking at them, opening or moving them. Only if you reapply the jpg compressing algorithm over them.

Wait until you hear that sometimes we can use both pronoums with some words but not others.

We can say “el mar” the(male) sea, or “la mar” the(female) sea. But you would never say “la oceano” it’s only “el oceano” the(male) ocean.

Debian.

Stable, well documented, easy to install. I do not need anything else right now.

I use Spanish QWERTY layout and it’s… weird for coding.

I’m used to it from my whole life so that’s what I use but sometimes brackets or special symbols are weird.

I’ve always wanted to change to use US-International layout. So I can keep ñ and áéíóú, and also have easy access to coding symbols. But I have never got around it.

Anyhow I still think that whoever designed ISO layouts messed up. We should use US international layout. That’s my two cents.

Jokes on you. I don’t know how to properly pronounce english so it sound like nosense for me.

I dont think I’ve ever click on an ad on purpose. I’ve clicked for mistake I closed right away. Never ever bought anything from an ad.

Here in spain conservative parents take their children to religious schools which already have mandatory school uniform. So it’s not in their agenda to push it to non-religious schools.

It should be notes that these religious schools are public founded. Which is another topic by itself, but you should know that we already have public funded schools with mandatory uniform.

I know some schools in my country use their own linux distribution on pair with windows. And my organization has also their own linux distribution but it is barely used really. I dont know anyone who uses it, but I do know it exists.
