    Yes, you have iptables and nftables, but it’s not always enabled. So, when I said installed, I really meant enabled. I 100% agree with what you are saying though.

    Unfortunately a lot of places just have shitty IT and people go rogue because of it. Some people are just impatient though as it sounds like in this case.

    You also have things like apparmor and selinux. If those are enabled, you might be chasing your tail trying to figure out why something is not working. You would need to know where to look and how to fix it.


  • This story has nothing to do with why Linux would be any better than Windows. Sure, if you lie to people, then anything can be convincing. What if I had a firewall installed in Linux, wouldn’t you have had the same issues?

    This is sort of the problem I have with a lot of Linux enthusiasts, when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

    Compared to Windows and MacOS as a client desktop, Linux still severely falls behind, but it is getting better. For a server, Linux is just far superior.




  • This has less to do with Elon and more to do with twitter itself. Why were other platforms created in the first place like Lemmy? Could it be to decentralize these platforms so that no one entity can control them, including the government? This whole shit show with Brazil shows us exactly why these platforms should exist. The oppression of the people need to stop.

    Instead of complaining about others and offering no contributions to this platform, I’d love to hear your take on this and start an open discussion. It seems like you have something on your mind, so why not speak it?



  • Had issues downloading for offline. Recommendations are meh. Sometimes I can’t search. Sometimes the app won’t load when on cell data.

    I never had issues like those before and then all of the sudden, it’s not even usable. I get having bad cell coverage somewhere, but I would have a strong signal and it will still do it. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app multiple times for it to work.

    Tidal is now cheaper and it has everything I would listen to. Before they were missing some bands and deezer had them. Doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.





  • There are places where this is just not possible. I live in very hot climate and people would be dying all the time due to heat exhaustion and dehydration if this was the case. I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but you can’t simply say, fuck cars. It doesn’t work this way everywhere. I would say that public transportation needs to be greatly improved upon and invested in though.

    I’ve lived in places where I don’t need a car and it’s great and shitty. I’ve lived in places where you do need a car and it’s great and shitty. I’ve lived in places that have great transportation and it’s hot, but again, it’s great and shitty. There are trade-offs with whatever you go with. I do agree that we should focus more on better zoning and better public transportation.
