I’m so intrigued by how often people complain about foss and Linux on lemmy. Everything about Lemmy appeals to people who are really into both and as someone else pointed out those leanings and the other main complaint, leftist politics, are all insanely tied together and all should be very much expected on Lemmy.

It sounds like the real complaint is that it’s different.

Because yeah it’s certainly not more toxic. That’s laughable. My interactions here have been overwhelmingly better than on reddit.

And the other complaints boil down to “it’s small and new, yuck”… Yeah that’s a good thing usually. There have been terrible attacks with CSAM but people are handling it and luckily I’ve never seen a single image like that. On reddit it was not uncommon to see mutilated humans without wanting to even though there was far more time and resources available to prevent that

Your friend was right

Ironically this is the inverse of op’s complaint

99% of musicals completely obliterate my suspension of disbelief. Like why? Why did you have to force songs into every single conversation? It’s weird and unnatural

That’s interesting. Learn something new every day. Thanks

Ah, yeah I normally would only need to do that in the context of signing a contract, which I do using Gimp or Photoshop.

Have you tried these? https://www.lifewire.com/best-free-pdf-editors-4147622

Depends on the platform I’m on. There are so many options. SumatraPDF on windows, whatever default app pop os has, preview on Mac, builtin android PDF viewer. I assume you’re on windows because you mentioned acrobat. There are several options beside sumatra. I think many are decent.

Png is not always lossless. It also supports compression. But your point stands, it’s not the best compression

Why would you use acrobat? I haven’t used it in many years and use PDFs all the time

Giggity

That was my reaction too. People do but I’m not sure I understand. One thing, you could be much more easily on the hook for any copyright issue even if accidental. Also you’re paying for a new service. I’d rather just occasionally do some local maintenance and pay the $2 a month extra to keep my machine running which I’d likely do anyhow.

I tried jellyfin before I decided to buy the Plex lifetime pass and it just flat out would not boot. The docker container kept failing and I tried various things to troubleshoot. Made me sad but I felt like it was time to finally commit to Plex after using it for like 8 years…

Yeah and it was banned for being heavily used by awful criminals. Probably not a big deal to switch hosts even if you didn’t self host for some reason

Yeah too bad that I was on a host heavily associated with CSAM /s

Then to be even more like reddit, we have a confidently incorrect asshole spreading easily googleable misinformation who is somehow now – plot twist – the fucking victim. Because yeah that’s how this shit works. We should all just spread lies because anyone who corrects us is the real asshole! Make sure you never fact check yourself people! It’s just too burdensome. Just say shit and get mad later if you’re corrected

Which company is giving out BJs? I probably want to invest promptly

I always refuse based on principle. You’re really going to guilt me in public into giving a few cents even though you’re a corporation who could easily afford millions or billions? Fuck you.

Doesn’t matter to you that this is false and is just something you repeat every chance you get I assume

Obviously
