Didn't even know 'legacy admissions' were a thing.

Higher education is truly a scam.

The thing is, Israel is seen as 'strategic' to Western (mostly US) interests in the region.

Having a haven for Jews doesn't make sense when they're surrounded by enemies. If people really cared about the safety of Jews, they would have pushed to establish communities in the US.

How much of it does he have to make in order for it to 'count' in your mind?

everyone whose data this was trained on should be included as authors if its not just public domain

Weird how we make this rule only apply to computers.

I doubt any human artist would make the exact same works as they have if they were not influenced by the art that they were.

Copyright and patent laws should die altogether.

Is it because they disagree with you? I've found way more intelligent conversations and fewer memes on Lemmy compared to reddit.

It's really up to you. Are you cool with it? If not, then don't marry her. If so, then do.

I think Ubuntu made sense back in the day when Debian wasn't as user-friendly.

Now that Debian is, it looks like Ubuntu is trying really hard to just be as commercialized as possible.

I still don't understand the logic behind their paying for updates for certain programs when Debian doesn't require it.

I don't want to be notified everytime I get a reply to one of my posts. Is there a way to turn this off?

Only because it would hurt their bottom line.

Funny how we can only win when it's corporations fighting each other.

I want to install Debian directly onto my USB drive. Is there an easy way to do this directly without having to reboot to run the installer?

Seeing all these videos of soldiers dying and getting injured, it makes me wonder if the field medics carry morphine to ease their suffering.

The controller I'm using shuts off after about 5 minutes of idle time. I tried adjusting the value in Steam, but it doesn't have any effect.

Does anyone know where this value may be stored or how I can change it to be much longer?

I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

Isn't it enough to just enter your password once to login, then receive a warning whenever you're about to do something potentially dangerous?

If it's such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

What the fuck?

Fuck zionists and their disproportionate amount of control over the world.

I don't understand.

It's okay to discriminate against men but not transgender women?
