Use whatever you want, why do you care about what feelings other people have towards Ubuntu?

Why are there supported tags? Why can't #AnyTag be parsed by the bot? I don't expect many people to make the effort to check which tags are allowed.

Why should a Lemmy user care about this? It appears there is no integration with Lemmy beyond parsing. For instance, you can't quickly filter by tags from the sidebar.

I suppose it's still useful since the #piracy tag is added automatically. However, the overall idea feels rather raw.

Is this from 2010?

Do you have valid arguments against this proposal or is it just an emotional reaction caused by a single word?

Especially if you have as much money as this dude claims to have.

I mean, this is on 4chan. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the post is blatantly narcissistic. I don't know why it should be here and what's there to discuss.

KDE, I enjoy the whole ecosystem both visually and functionally.

If we're talking about obvious things, getting a washing machine and kitchen with all that comes with it is a tremendous improvement in a new apartment.

If I had to pick something less obvious, I'd say for me it was an e-book. It's hard to measure the effect, but I mostly read non-fiction and knowledge creates a lot opportunities over time in private and work life.

I'm sure more people know C or Python than Ukrainian at Canonical. It looks like this particular change has been authorized by a third-party localization project, though I'm not sure the whole process works.

This is how investments in new technologies work. That's such a non-story.

Each step reduces the amount of users who could use the feature. If they think this feature is important, it makes sense to include it with the browser.

It was a great place to share information in a short and clear manner. You could subscribe to journalists working in your area, a professor from MIT or another university, follow sport journalists, war analysts - you name it. They all posted their thoughts and links to their articles, interviews or podcasts with them, they shared information about their new books. Twitter was like an RSS feed, where you could subscribe to authors directly. You could write them and get a reply! It was and probably still is a great tool, though Musk is taking a lot of steps to destroy it.
