OnlyOffice crashed for me repeatedly on Debian, LibreOffice did not.

But otherwise yes, I prefer OnlyOffice as well for a much friendlier interface.

LibreOffice just commonly puts mundane parameters God knows where.

Not only that, but it also affects the decision making. For example, quite recently Russian maintainers were removed from the Linux kernel, citing “compliance”.

It’s easy to imagine same thing happening to Chinese maintainers, for example. And then from other countries. This, too, can strongly affect not just Linux, but FOSS landscape as a whole.

Thanks for bringing up the European foundation, I’ll look into it!

The Linux Foundation itself is in the US jurisdiction - just sayin’.

Which is why I repeatedly called for the Foundation to move into Europe, potentially into Finland, back to its roots.

To me it’s about how invasive and all-encompassing Google tries to be, while giving little to no respect to our privacy.

I never explicitly and clearly agreed for a random company to follow me everywhere on the Internet, track me on millions of sites even outside Google itself, and be as reckless with the data as a kid, selling it left and right to whoever might concern. Neither do I think regular people would give such consent if consequences would be clearly explained, and not buried deep into ToS.

No, I do not have much to hide. But even if you don’t do anything bad, you don’t want a random stranger to constantly look into your windows when you’re at home, do you? It’s creepy at least. For me, Google is that stranger. And Meta. And Microsoft. And Apple etc.

So, making as little room for them in my life as humanly possible is my goal.

One point thirty two

Haha, fair, didn’t recognize the irony

Still, if you think about it, it’s weird no manned flight of several people had been conducted without men, but plenty without women.

Female cosmonauts/astronauts were always paired with men.

She ended up as a shitty politician

Not sure if it’s available in Lemmy. Devs and admins can probably say more

Not only is it gross, it’s also enough to jail you since you technically store and distribute these materials.

Laws didn’t really update for the Fediverse.

With general respect to what is written, I don’t like the “it’s encrypted so it’s a non-issue” approach. Sure, data has to be exchanged for many operations - including crypto transactions - but the best model of privacy is when the unnecessary data does not get sent anywhere in the first place.

Encryption can and eventually will be broken, it can also be implemented wrongly, the devices themselves can be hacked or taken by somebody etc.

Not sending the data always beats sending the encrypted one as far as privacy is concerned.

I totally agree with you that gender wars are artificial and meant to distract people from the core issues. Divide and conquer kinda thing.

But that sits exactly at the core of my initial argument. Blaming wide groups of people, among other things, provides completely unnecessary wars out of thin air.

This doesn’t deny the fact that people of each gender may face issues that are gender-specific to some degree. Men are more likely to be socially isolated, women are more likely to become victims of sexual abuse, etc. etc. This doesn’t mean we should measure who has it worse, but it has to be taken into consideration if we want to correct the course and make everyone actually equal. In this case, we need to address specific sources of male loneliness, as there are some factors unique to men that lead to this.

People acting on gender issues together, not as two divided groups, is a great exercise in civil power and unity, which is helpful for any revolutionary activity.

Absolutely! Everyone gets lonelier as we are getting divided; it’s just that it’s even harder on men specifically, as there are additional factors at play. But it doesn’t mean women don’t experience similar things.

That’s how you know she should be your wife :)

But really, this should be more normalized. I’ve heard the opinion that many men see compliments as a way to show sympathy when that wasn’t intended, but I think this is exactly because it’s so rare.

My girlfriend also takes time to compliment me, and I appreciate it.

Valid perspective; but I think it’s quite clearly implied given the scale of the issue. The male loneliness is real, and shouldn’t be written off as shit misogynists say, even if it was popularized by them. This kind of discarding might hurt men who have nothing to do with misogynistic talking points, opinions, or actions.

Ah, the classic generalization of men and women as singular groups where everyone acts as one.

There are certain shitty men who objectify women and play alphas. There is the general category of men who get shitted at because of it, whether they belong to the former or not.

Sure, being afraid of the shitty folks is a valid reason to be cautious around everyone, as you can’t easily tell one from the other. But saying that all men just made this stuff up while being total asses wouldn’t be fair or helpful.

To be clear: there is a male loneliness epidemic driven by ever increasing caution about men overall. Men are often unfairly denied attention they need because they are seen as potential dangers by women and might be ridiculed for speaking out about their feelings by men (which, in turn, do it to protect themselves from the same treatment in an unhealthy patriarchal culture).

This is not healthy; moreover, being in that state of loneliness and frustration is prone to radicalizing people, making sayings about dangerous men a self-fulfilling prophecy in one case, and just causing a lot of misery in the other.

If you’re a woman, I’d suggest giving a bit of attention to the men around you. There is a million of untold stories there, and making someone open up to you for the first time is a great and rewarding experience. Or just…be there, and that will be appreciated.

It’s often tempting to say “this X is screwed, let’s start all over again”. But deep relationships are not formed that way.

Between any people, there will be points of tension, and if this calls you to quit, you risk never to get to the point of stable long-lasting relationships.

May it be that they need to break up? Yes. Does it have to be? No.

Interestingly, often times it was the old users who were the most toxic as a result of this, aggressively citing Eternal September and going elitist.

So, we can do a lot to prepare on our end.

Firefox is bad, Brave is evil. Why did they decide switching is a good idea?

Good, I also think the “some money” part in the end can be removed. It’s obvious and at the same time makes it sound a bit more rough than it needs to be.
