They tried it a long time ago, but it seems to be rolled back to Windows again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux

I hope our French friends can learn from this initiative during the adoption phase.

Just make sure you have you have a bot network storing the information in with multiple accounts. Also with with enough parity bits (E.g. PAR2) to recover broken vids or removed accounts.

The only Microsoft account I have is my 20 year old hotmail that has an appropriate name for a 16 year old who discovered the internet.

If I can't make a local account, I will not use it.

TIL a new word: Sanctimonious: making a show of being morally superior to other people.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

This can be molded into a generational power grab thriller. Think Godfather trilogy, but both Su and Huang are sort of Sith lords.

The family started with nothing, multiplied and played the strategic long game to conquer the AI marked to enable Skynet.

But Intel are the Jedi hacker good guys.

Exactly this! But not with salt, but caramelized sugar. Maybe also pinch of salt just for the kick.

Can't be worse than the PFAS infused kind right?

Replacing Reddit with Lemmy is like giving Meth to a cocaine addict.

I deleted Boost app from my phone, to not mindlessly open it. Coincidentally Boost is an alternative app to access Reddit through their API.

Luckily I don't use reddit from my laptop, due to to horrible experience. So no muscle memory to trick me into visiting.

Complete with a police force and secret service.

Of course an independent judiciary system to keep the powers at be in check.

I'm going to be a virtual lawyer that specializes in subreddit law.

Is there a good way to scrub automatically? My account is almost 10 years and it seems like a good time to end. I did it with MySpace, Tumbler and Facebook before and I never looked back.

Hopefully the competition stays healthy and keep challenging each other for the top position. Intel proved already that being on the top spot for to long they became lazy.

New comment by newqer in "Ask HN: How do you not take criticism of your work personally?"

newqer — Fri, 26 May 2023 11:15:48 +0000

Lot's of good comments already. I personally needed to shift my mind regarding written messages. When I receive feedback in written form and I think the other person has ill will, I perceive the text as angry written and a personal attack.

When I started checking with others how they interpret it, they always saw it as neutral or constructive. So my assumption of the senders state of mind, influenced the way I perceived the feedback text.

For me it really helped to "baseline" with others and/or often just ask the sender what the intention of the criticism was. Get into an analytical state of mind and figure-out what the intent behind the criticism is. If could be that it's made with the best intentions and can help you get better at what you do.

What have you done? I tried to cut back on Reddit, but this seems like I could go done a rabbit hole for a few hours per day.
