No, you're supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.

The meme leaves out the very important detail that most of the researchers working "for free" in the first panel are definitely getting paid, and usually by public funding (public universities and/or grants from taxpayer-funded institutions like NIH, NSF, etc.). That's a big part of what makes it a scam.

Lol, that was my first thought too, but I was surprised to find that a lot of people are using other stuff, so it got me curious.

Oh yeah, the setup assistant from garuda sounds like it might be helpful for him.

Oh thanks for the endeavor recommendation. It might be a bit too much of a change for us, but I'll let him take a look.

I know that any distro can be a gaming distro in principle, but we don't really know what changes we should be making to improve his experience, so that's what we're hoping one of the gaming distros can help with. I'm fairly comfortable with what I need to do for my daily use, but not so much for games.

gaming distro recommendation (lemmy.world)

My teenage son wants to try a new distro for gaming. Our family has been using pop os for years, but he wants to try something new. The main three I see are

nobara (fedora based)
garuda (arch based)
drauger (ubuntu based)

The machine he's using is a 2018 Intel nuc. It has a strong processor (core i7) but no discrete graphics. I can't tell which (if any) of the distros above would be better or worse for his case.

Reading around, it seems like Garuda might be slightly more fiddly. And, Drauger I only saw mentioned in a couple of articles, but not on this forum. Are these impressions correct? Do you have any other advice for us?!

How are Lemmy.world posts and comments licensed? (lemmy.world)

Stackoverflow, and the rest of the SE network, explicitly says that all user-generated content is licensed under CC-BY-SA. (link here). So, while SE has the right to do whatever they want with user content, they have to attribute the users who made it, and they have to keep the same or similar open license on the content. I know users can't really fight a big company on equal footing, but an explicit license like that is an implicit commitment to respecting, at least to some degree, users' ownership of their content.

On the other hand, Reddit's user agreement includes this: "...you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content...." So, reddit asserts the right to use user content however it likes, with no rights to the users who generate it.

Recent events make me much more interested in knowing how the content I generate will be licensed. I know a cc license on Reddit content wouldn't change most of what makes the recent decisions so terrible, but it would give some standing to the people upset with how reddit plans to use what they've contributed.

I looked a bit, but didn't see an explicit statement about how the content in this server (lemmy.world) is licensed. (That's not a criticism; I think the admins have been busy with a few other things, and I really appreciate it!! I'm asking about this because I'm hoping to see more and more here.)
