    Ubuntu's trust problem in 4 concrete issues - verified facts, no FUD

  • I think you've taken my comment in the opposite direction of what I've intended and being a little grumpy as a result.

  • https://www.google.com/search?q=why+shouldn%27t+you+use+apt+on+fedora&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&safe=active

    It's a really bad idea to have two package managers overlap (this is also why more "cross-system" package managers like nix and brew are okay: they consciously install to separate paths to avoid overlapping)

    Fedora does not offer APT repositories, so if you somehow don't overlap and pretty much exclusively use APT, you're pretty much just converting your distro to Debian (or whatever's providing your repos). In the forums we call this a Frankenstein; support is seldom given for raising the dead.

  • Ubuntu Universe does not have licensing issues. Ubuntu's nonfree repository is Multiverse. Universe is just the community- as opposed to project-maintained one

  • i'm not sure what that has to do with the argument

    (curious, though: does the Fedora project even have an equivalent to universe? I also thought that OBS didn't have security updates just like the AUR doesn't.)

  • Client-side data collection is opt-in and open-source: https://www.zdnet.com/article/canonicals-ubuntu-telemetry/ If you're talking server-side collection we don't know about, I'd call for burden of proof since neither Ubuntu nor Debian have relevant history of collection and that would probably violate the Privacy Policy.

  • Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up to five machines.

    Also note that Universe is the community-maintained repository, sort of like the AUR but the community also reviews package creations. The Main repository is maintained by the Ubuntu Project and has always had free security updates.

  • If you want a beginner-friendly Arch distro I would recommend endeavourOS (though note that it doesn't include package manager GUI by default and I like how terminal-centric it is)

  • well that's the proportion that thinks it's wrong, not the proportion that thinks it should be criminalized. one reason is what you've pointed out in your first paragraph.

    and even this statistic comes with a caveat. according to https://thebetterindia.com/134673/survey-nfhs-marital-rape-india/, it's 42%, which places only 58% of men as against marital rape. that is a majority but it's not what i'd call a "vast" majority at all. it seems plausible that at least 50% could be against criminalization if 42% don't even think it's morally wrong. (interestingly, 52% of women don't think it's morally wrong either.)

  • the point is that a lot of these examples of similar severity that happen to women would get rallying and protests from time to time, yet the MRA movement doesn't say a word when these examples of patriarchy hurt men

    school bullying and blue-collar work forcing definitely discriminate against men. there's similar issues that also affect women, one prominent one being (generally white-collar) workplace discrimination

  • for context, the full sentence is "Throttling efforts led to “brownouts” via 429 errors, but patterns mutated, forcing a "Whack-a-Mole" game, especially since most consumption is headless and unnoticed." so they tried to use brownouts to control it but it couldn' t stop them

  • U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material

    Jump

  • on that note:

    The Copyright Office has separately rejected bids by artists for copyrights on images generated by the AI system Midjourney. Those artists argued that ⁠they were entitled to copyrights for images they created with AI assistance - unlike Thaler, who said his system created “A ‌Recent Entrance to Paradise” independently.
