You are completely right, and the Open Science movement is catching on. The idea is to give everyone access to the (anonymised) data and use only tools that are freely accessible, even to scientists from developing countries without Microsoft licenses, so that they too can rerun your analyses and verify your results. You shouldn’t be getting downvoted.
If you own a name, you can grant anyone you want permission to use that name. It’s not illegal.
Why is Arch with i3wm the only alternative to Windows? There are many other distros and desktop environments.
Which is funny because the original comment doesn’t mention Linux or Arch at all.
Not sure about this. When I installed Firefox, it asked me if I allowed it to collect data and run studies (I answered yes). Also, as far as I remember, I never changed the Marketing Data setting and it was off.

TahtyUHny FYI. It’s a weird spelling of a common Brazilian/Portuguese name. The usual spelling is Tatiane.
I think many people don’t understand this is the entire point of being on Lemmy. They just want Reddit without ads, but without FOSS we would sooner or later become Reddit. So of course we are going to care about FOSS.
It’s the same with people who use Linux but say they don’t care about FOSS. Linux is Linux because it’s FOSS. Otherwise it would just be Chrome OS or Android.
I mean, Lemmy itself is FOSS, and the vast majority of instances are running on Linux. The main reason I am here and not on Reddit is that Lemmy is FOSS.
What the hell? All countries in the continent are about the same age. Europeans after the wars fled to lots of different countries. Sao Paulo, Brazil, for example, has the largest number of Japanese immigrants in the world. My ancestors came from Italy, Hungary, Spain, and Portugal.
Maradona, the great Argentine football player, descended from native American, Spanish, Italian and Croatian ancestors. Another Argentine footballer, Lionel Messi, descended from Italian and Spanish immigrants. Bolsonaro, shitty ex-president of Brazil, has an Italian surname. He won the previous election against Fernando Haddad, who has a Turkish surname.

No, this is an American thing. Other countries in the American continent have the same immigrant thing going on and we don’t call ourselves Italian or whatever. We are all from the country where we were born.
You would imagine this to be obvious, but people who are used to Photoshop or Reddit complain all the time that Gimp or Lemmy are not as intuitive, as the other comments fully demonstrate.
The newer one is a lot funnier though.
I have already seen data having to be thrown away because the researcher copied and pasted it incorrectly from multiple spreadsheets and no one could tell what the correct data was anymore. No one should be doing this if they are responsibly doing “real analytical work”.
