Since I’m sure many people don’t know: Yerevan is the capital city of Armenia.
They are not. I do not refer to the package called “LibreOffice”. If you search for “office” on the Windows Store, you’ll see a bunch of LibreOffice clones that are not branded as such and are not free of charge or contain advertisements.
At least they didn’t call it the “SwitchU”
This is like the people who repackage and rebrand LibreOffice and then resell it for $10 on the Windows Store to gullible users.
And the worst part about that is that it doesn’t even break the law.
More likely a case of “confidently being paid to lie”
This problem is pretty common across most parts of the Linux space. Everyone wants to volunteer coding work, which is great, but not what’s desperately needed right now.
The Linux community needs more than programmers, or else it will consist only of programmers. We need UI/UX experts, or we’ll never have the simplicity and ease of use of iOS. We need accessibility designers or we’ll never match up to the accessibility of MacOS. We need graphic designers and artists or we’ll never look as good as Windows 11. We need PR professionals and marketing experts or we’ll never be as notable as the Windows XP startup sound.

Let’s consider a “decent” Internet speed of 200 mb/a. That’s 25 MB/s so it’d take 1,600 seconds to download 40,000 MB. That’s 26 minutes, so nearly half of your time is gone. Plus there is always time spent doing something like “installing”, checking the files, or whatever other stuff needs to be done besides just downloading the raw content.
Also, you don’t always get 100% of your advertised Internet speed 100% of the time.
He started putting polls for things like Twitter Blue, other “governance polls”, and eventually, on whether he should resign as CEO. He responded to the result of every poll with “vox populi, vox dei” (Latin: The voice of the people is the voice of God) when it went his way, except the poll for him to step down went against him.
He has not stepped down and he stopped doing the polls.
I think Lemmy needs to take a page from Reddit’s book and automatically link communities with something like “c/asklemmy”
That’s because even a grey market Windows key costs US$20 nowadays and that’s over ₹1,600. For comparison purposes, the largest Indian banknote is ₹500.
