Thanks for clearing that up haha. It’s hard not to be a pessimist on the internet.

Oh I understood that, but thanks for making it explicit. Very few larger media outlets have covered Palestine fairly unfortunately.

I didn’t get the impression that the other commenter was laughing about BBC’s use of the term.

I assumed they were doubting the health ministry’s reliability/accuracy, but maybe I’ve just become jaded after dealing with so many Zionazis online.

Your comment did not make clear what you found funny, but having come across so many similar comments before I assumed it was that the data was not reliable due to it being the “Hamas-run health ministry”.

If you found the continued use of that term by the BBC funny, then my previous comment is irrelevant.

Literally the first paragraph:

The UN’s Human Rights Office has condemned the high number of civilians killed in the war in Gaza, saying its analysis shows close to 70% of verified victims over a six-month period were women and children.

Also see the only other comment when you posted this: https://lemmy.world/comment/15951331

Tbf (and you seem to already be aware of this) that’s not really an issue with Linux. Lots of software devs don’t care about supporting Linux sadly.

Yeah I did see that after looking into it. It’s definitely on my growing list of distros to check out now, so thanks for putting it on my radar.

I guess that info not having been explained earlier maybe? I’d never even heard of Bazzite, and I’ve recently been looking up what new distro options are out there.

My assumption for the downvotes is that it’s a pretty new (~1 year) and niche (gaming-oriented) distro, and largely irrelevant to your issue.

A jack of all trades is something that does a lot of things reasonably well. I’d argue that Linux is exactly that.

Your only issue seems to be with certain types of games not working. That’s not the fault of Linux (as others have explained), but it seems like a fairly niche situation, so I don’t think it applies to your “jack off all trades” argument.

Would you say that MacOS is not a “jack off all trades”? It does a much poorer job with games than Linux…

In summary, it claims that Google falsely told publishers that adopting AMP would enhance load times, even though the company’s employees knew that it only improved the “median of performance” and actually loaded slower than some speed optimization techniques publishers had been using. It alleges that AMP pages brought 40% less revenue to publishers. The complaint states that AMP’s speed benefits “were also at least partly a result of Google’s throttling. Google throttles the load time of non-AMP ads by giving them artificial one-second delays in order to give Google AMP a ‘nice comparative boost.‘”

The main reason so many news sites adopted AMP is because it was a requirement from Google for articles to qualify for their Top Stories. As soon as that requirement was removed the number of non-AMP links spiked and has been rising ever since.

Fuck Google.

I think it’s just a matter of explaining instances in a clear and concise way. This isn’t a Lemmy-specific issue though - it’s a problem for all of the fediverse.

https://join-lemmy.org/instances says “You can access all content in the lemmyverse from any server, so it doesn’t matter which one you choose.”, but that still leaves some things unanswered.

It seems to have done a decent job of helping new users find a suitable server with a few simple questions though.

Of course, but your chances overall are better today regardless of class/status etc.

Even being the child of royalty had no guarantees. For example Henry VIII had 13 legitimate children. Only 3 lived past infancy, and 1 of those died age 15.

In 1900, the average life expectancy of a newborn was 32 years. By 2021 this had more than doubled to 71 years.

in 1800, no region had a life expectancy higher than 40 years.

What? I’m saying that if I was the kid being born I would rather be born today than in the 1500s.

Edgy…

Despite having no desire to have kids, I’d much rather be born today than pretty much any time before the last few generations.

You can easily create a new account on a different instance. The only thing you lose is your post/comment history, but many apps allow multiple accounts in case you still want access to that.

Ah I didn’t realise that, thanks. The overview page made it seem like the DRM was required for any of that to work.

It looks like they miss out on the Steamworks features “(e.g. online multiplayer, achievements, leaderboards, trading cards, etc.)” if they opt not to use their DRM, so I can understand why the vast majority of devs would want to use it.
