My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

@Lojcs @d3Xt3r I only use linux mint because the laptop is 6 years old but, it was a stop gap computer with 2GB ram and a 64GB emmc. The latest windows 10 brings it to it's knees.

The counter-protestors at #UCLA included a large number of bona fide antisemites. Their only care for Jewish safety is how to exploit it for political gain.

What I witnessed that Tuesday night chilled me to the bone - one of the men named in this article screamed at me and my colleague that white supremacy will rule and white violence will come. We were standing on the sidelines as observers.

@loshmi I can guarantee you they are doing that. The protests in Baltimore were infiltrated by Right Wingers. was as well. I am certain the bad apples are right wing agitators.

    @dedsyn4ps3 It is more of a skill test for writing in regular C. It is just an encoder decoder that runs on a Linux command line.

    A reminder that having no Speaker means the House of Representatives can't conduct any business, and a reminder that THAT'S WHAT THE REPUBLICAN EXTREMISTS WANT.
    To them it's a feature, not a bug.

    Live someplace where hurricanes are a regular occurrence? Give Bostonians #advice!

    #NewEngland rarely gets hurricanes; for example, the last time #Maine was under hurricane watch was 2008.

    So for those of you who live in places where hurricanes arrive more frequently, what advice do you have for us?

    Stop frequenting the Nazi bar, especially when the majority of patrons want you to die.

    @mekkaokereke @Jorsh This comes with the fact that Anybody can make an account on a Mastodon instance or even establish a instance.

    If we are to have a , we have to keep in mind that like the , racists are everywhere and we have to learn that we have to moderate against them. Moderating against hateful users and instances is the key. Moderators lead regular lives and jobs and, cannot always be here to keep up with racists accounts. It's free thankless work to most of them.

    Keep in mind, right wingers were creating Mastodon Instances before bought . GAB is actually a Mastodon instance.

    At least with Mastodon, the owners is not somebody who actually wants far right wingers to drive up engagement with hate. There is no protocol to stop instances or users that are hateful to be created. On , hate speech is actually encouraged and justified as being "free speech."

    @engineerminded@techhub.social avatar

    @mekkaokereke @Jorsh

    "Why is it free? Why is it thankless? Does it have to be?"

    Many if not all Mastodon instances are much like other open-source projects, they are not for profit. Owners of instances do not get revenue for advertising. In this case, running an instance or moderation it is something that has to be done in one's spare time.

    New instances and users are being made all of the time. It is definitely not uncommon to see edgelords and other hateful people generating multiple accounts to dogpile on people they hate and push people they like. It is already happening on .

    engineerminded,
    @engineerminded@techhub.social avatar

    @mekkaokereke @Jorsh I wonder if Mastodon's software has a built in feature where instances can have a sort of usergroup where moderation can be shared across like minded instances. Like if there is a troublesome instance or user, all like instances can use the same lists. that would go a long way.

    @mekkaokereke @Jorsh

    "And the juice is worth the squeeze! So... we're building it. ♥️"

    That sound like a great idea. Or it could be built into Relays. Maybe it would be an issue if an instance is served by more than one but, perhaps that is possible.
