By nature of federation it really trains on basically all Lemmy data

I doubt the stuff was human-picked

You’re good. If you like your setup please don’t feel like you need to change. Ubuntu will serve you just fine.

Now if you just like tinkering or configuring…

The main drawback of Ubuntu is mainly that people don’t like Canonical, the company behind it. They can be very opinionated in their decisions. Also many prefer rolling-release distros (like Arch, or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) where you get much quicker software updates over Ubuntu and other traditional distros.

yeah and then it starts happening to the other language it’s soooooo fucking stupid

FUCK THIS IS THE WORST

MY DEVICE IS SET TO SPANISH. THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE I WANT TO LISTEN TO A SPANISH LANGUAGE VIDEO IN ENGLISH WITH A SHITTY AI VOICE

Like I’m cool with the option. I’m even cool with it turning on by default according to your account settings.

BUT WHY IN THE NAME OF FUCK CAN IT NOT BE TURNED OFF???

The first time it happened I assumed I could just go to the audio track settings because some creators put in multiple tracks with different languages. BUT IT’S NOT THERE.

Fedora on the right tbh. Even when you chill and get wisdom Canonical and Snap are just a bit too far.

OP doesn’t say that an older system was better - especially not some super-specific one. Just that it’s NOT the only possible system and likely not the best there can be.

So I’m not sure who exactly you’re arguing with.

What in the fuck are you talking about

And still WAY ahead of a ton of similarly sized cities on the continent

Well yeah obviously I wouldn’t actually recommend it

I mean if your rent is $500USD (which is stupidly low, in the US I don’t think this exists even in the middle of nowhere) then 3% is $15

Certified mail is around $6

Plus you’re not rewarding the landlord/payment processor for their stupid fees.

If your rent is more realistic like $1500 then 3% is $45. No contest.

That’s fucked bro. Certified mail for sure.

As far as the clearing thing that just sounds straight up illegal.

Yeah I just checked and I’m looking at around 15-16% adding together federal tax+FICA/FMHI

Usually there’s some way around that though? Like mailing checks or something.

I mean if it hadn’t gone viral there’s at least a chance it wouldn’t have made it back to the wife.

Then what’s all the China rhetoric about

Though to be fair I think it has died down a bit

I mean per month, and assuming not taxed, that’s not bad.

Oh yeah super common unfortunately

I think having someone open if for you still counts. You’d have to already find one opened.

Please, be aware that the quality of the voice call depends and a lot of the data rate. Keep this in mind uif you are in remote locations with poor coverage.

Nowadays most cell calls are VoIP anyhow. Heck in the US they shut off the old networks and only allow VoLTE/Vo5G
