VLC doesn’t innovate. And it’s basically dead on Linux.

Afaik it’s false. It had a major update recently and it’s installed on a lot of Linux systems.

Yea that’s a big problem.

Nah that’s a bad idea. Keep the security requirements strict.

Afaik the HDR support is experimental and not universal yet. I think it would be nice to have it finished for those rich folks.

HDR support and better maintainers are the things I can remember now.

and v3 is probably acceptable by now.

No.

Way to go, Smith!

The “right to preserve fertility” is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I’d say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it’s a completely different story.

Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don’t have.

I suppose it has to do with the widespread belief that admins of an instance can be prosecuted for illegal text and imagery posted by their users.

I highly disagree with that. Admins of commercial platforms technically have higher risks due to higher attention from the government and sometimes more legal restrictions (e. g. gatekeepers). Also the FOSS community is not necessarily known for compliance but rather the opposite. I believe it’s more about the personalities of the admins and the nature of the community itself, especially since many of the social platforms in question are less serious of projects than enormous businesses which leads to the increased feel of freedom and confidence amongst the developers and admins (makes them feel like they can be themselves and do whatever they want).

Everything else seems like points I completely agree with.

I think it’s because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.

Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.

Ok Wayland shill.

Ok so it’s basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

How is it different to runit or openrc?

Well I’m glad you haven’t experienced it on the platforms you use. I personally did (and it’s not just about Lemmy and Mastodon) and saw others reporting it so that’s why my opinion is different. Though I agree it’s not always the case and some instances/platforms can be better than others.

Not only religion. Euthanasia is a very controversial thing in all ways. For example, a person with a terminal disease can decide to do it because of despair and in many countries courts will consider such decision illegitimate but the person would already be dead so it’s a very complicated situation.

I would think twice before using a service that implements any geoblocking.

Here we’re talking about PCs that can’t officially run Windows 11.

You don’t know what real poverty is. But that’s not the topic anyways.

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service

I think it uses it for background removal.

This app tracks and reports your activity

I’m not sure about that but I know VPNs have that anti-feature. It either has some telemetry or it’s because of third-party network service integration.
