  • I can ramble about a few things:

    • AI - very new, unconventional, scary, interesting and fascinating in a lot of different ways, mostly in ways most ppl don’t really think about
    • US Law - I’m european and I’m not a lawyer in any shape or form but Depp v Heard sucked me in and now I have so much knowledge about the US law that it’s flowing out of my brain every once in a while
    • Computer Science - with varying degrees of proficiency, obv things like software dev, game Dev, stuff like 3d composition, music production, but also some more specific ones like pentesting, some cryptography or scripting.








  • What you’re describing in 3. is the exact reason why I said “build software from scratch” btw. Some software just will never work properly or never work period. And usually, every Linux compatible software can technically do 80% of the stuff you need, but even that takes 10x the time and effort. I’m talking 3d applications like AutoCAD, cinema4d, DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton, video cutting like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere Pro, and this is not even talking about use cases where there’s highly specific, proprietary or custom software.

    You either use Windows, or you pay with your time, effort and sanity.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m a data scientist and software Dev and I know there are good reasons why Linux should be the golden standard. But I’m also a realist and while I love the idea of what Linux’ goal is, it’s a really hard sell for most non computer science people.







  • I wanna add to this that censoring is a bit more relaxed. Every post lies on an instance, and control is given to hosts of an instance. So to censor, an actor has to gain control of the instance or the account that made the post.

    That said, if you are in the confines of political oppression, as the commenter above me said, never take your anonymity for granted and take active steps to stay safe.
