Does anyone onow if there is a NOYB equivalent in North America?

REAPER rules. I started on ProTools in 2010. Ditched it for Reaper in 2012 and never looked back. Best $60 I ever spent. I’ve gladly bought multiple licenses for my devices over the years.

Nobara or Bazzite are your best Linux options for gaming. I’ve been on Nobara for over a year with nothing but good things to say about the distro and its community.

Why do you have a bunch of dog walkers added to your feed? Just remove them and be more conscious of who you are adding in the future.

I can’t say I share your experience at all on Strava. I find it to be minimal with the ads. They’re not intrusive at all IMO.

They “trust” me.

Dumb fucks.

You down vote me for saying the truth.

If you think installing Linux is hard you’ve either never done it and let other people dictate your opinions, you’re incompetent with computers or you can’t follow a simple step-by-step guide.

If you or someone you know sucks with computers, that’s fine. I get not moving someone from Win to Linux if they can’t understand the digital equivalent of tying their shoes. Just get a Chromebook if that’s the case.

Barring cases of disability, using Windows at a basic level is not hard. Most home users use it to browse the dust on the upper crust of the internet, write a doc, print shit and nothing more. I bet if you swapped Win for Linux on most people’s computers and riced it to look like Win 11 many of them would be none the wiser.

Also, if you’re a Lemmy user and you have a basic understanding of how this platform works I guarantee you have the basic capacity to successfully install Linux on an old computer.

That’s not a Linux problem, that’s a PEBKAC or hardware problem.

If installing something like Linux Mint is not intuitive enough for someone, they probably don’t even know what they’re doing on Windows either.

Not for the capitalists running these companies.

A bit harsh. I was left thinking deeper about the subject matter by the end. If that’s not the goal of this kind of writing then I don’t know what is. I enjoyed this read.

Good point. I’ve never seen it framed this way before. Poignant.

Welcome!

I can appreciate your viewpoint here, but there are a lot of good people in this world that are married to absolute scumbags.

Dude, thank you for this context. I was already aware of these considerations but just wanted to thank you for sharing this with everyone. Its participation like this that makes the internet a better place. 🍻

What is the point? All this serves is to make any community you loose this on objectively worse.

This kind of “project” directly contributes to the degeneration of the internet. Please don’t do that.

I have to say that I absolutely love all of the nordic accents in English. Also, I find that nordic English speakers are the most comprehensible of all non-native speakers. Often y’all speak a cleaner and more beautiful sounding English than anything you’ll find in North America, especially in terms of vocabulary. It’s just so nice and flowery. Any time I hear a nordic accent the speaker immediately has my full attention. Lol

I lived in France for eight months a couple years back and yeah, it can be hard to understand when they speak English, but sometimes it can be captivating too. It really depends on the speaker.

I totally agree with you. I can’t read the article because it requires an account. What I’m concerned about is the highly likely anglo-centric nature of this tool; as in it likely only alters the Indian accent for the convenience of the english speaking customer and likely does nothing to facilitate the work for the employee whose first language is likely not english.

Also, white North Americans are already culturally sheltered enough as it is, last thing I think we need is automation that neutralizes manifestations of culture for the sake of convenient communication.

I think your though process is on the right track but it seems like you think you’re done evaluating things way too quickly.

Musk may not explicitly have the power to do anything, but as we know Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the rules and Musk is his right hand man.

I’d argue that Musk does indeed have the power by proxy to do whatever he wants. Billionaires are licking Trump’s boots the world over right now… Maybe keep that in mind moving forward.

I mean you’re not wrong about any of this, but I think the not so subtle racism in this AI tool is reprehensible.
