harrisoned··on Network of channels tried to saturate YouTube with pro-Bolsonaro content
The example is good, and look where we are. Regulation brings immediate partial results to a problem, but doesn't solve it.

I agree that the problem should be resolved, but those methods are only put in place to please shareholders and the law. The hard path, of education and compromises (and possible lower revenue) no one wants to take. Those services exploit "mental and moral malleability", and for that there will never be enough regulation to solve unless you take down all services.

People click on what they want. Those are symptoms of underlying issues from someone who shouldn't be using such services in the first place. Protecting people from their own mental and moral malleability and ignorance is futile, as there will always be an issue to be resolved. The focus should be on education, and (for parents) control on what they should be accessing.

harrisoned··on Pop_OS makes using Linux easy
I've been using it as my daily driver since Windows 7 became unusable (for me at least) last year. It's been a great experience. The issues i experienced were because Nvidia drivers + Linux don't always get along with some particular games, and some audio issues after an update (my motherboard is old, must be because of that).

There are some things that can be annoying, like; Using 2 different wallpapers on two monitors required me to edit an image on Gimp and just set a single wallpaper. I selected the wrong keyboard layout/language at install and now i must run a macro every time to force the correct one. My ALSAMIXER is always at 10% volume on my USB headset on boot (but i suppose it's an easy fix). I just cant run Vmware Player anymore, after a particular update from some months ago, the netmon module will not compile anymore.

But overall, everything is great; For the games it can run (Steam + Proton), sometimes is better than windows! I can run AI stuff (LLMs, stable-diffusion, etc) with absolute no issues or hiccups. It's blazing fast.

I just miss some particular softwares that have never been ported to Linux, but that will be solved with time i hope.
