Neither.

I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

I plan on eventually boycotting English as much as I can. Both because of what global English represents, and to counteract the massive international pressure to do everything in English and its consequences.

In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It's not that big a deal.

This thread isn't even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.

Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don't respect their players and nothing else?

Edit: wording

The fact that you don't know what Grimm's Law is means you don't actually know English.

That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

Be careful.

Individualism.

SVP pas downvoter un message juste parce que ce n'est pas en anglais. Qu'on ne fasse pas un mal exemple.

Backups of my old computers.

Force all social media to become non-profits.

Bonjour de l'Australie. J'ai signé.

Depends on what "existential dread" means.

Nice whataboutism.

I stand corrected. Still gross asf though.

Same. This place has serious "I use Ubuntu btw" vibes for me.

Why is Archland (btw) so small? Where's Manjaroland, EndeavourOSville, etc?

What specs do you have that makes GIMP load in 2 milliseconds?

Ugh, Chr*me. Disgusting.

Mon avatar est de ma fursona. C'est simple que ça.

Also, they called themselves National Socialists. After all, would a government ever lie?

Makes sense. I was already worried as soon as I saw "welfare" being bigger than "health".

Windows is where it is because of Microsoft's aggression. There's no essence inside Windows that makes it widespread ex nihilo.

Linux isn't as widespread as it could be because many people don't realise it's a viable alternative to Windows or Mac. It has nothing to do with how many distros there are. Also, newbies are usually recommended Ubuntu or Linux Mint, so it's not even "so many choices" to begin with.

Also, you do realise you can interact with instances other than yours, right? I use lemm.ee btw.

Tell me you're new to Linux without telling me you're new to Linux.

I tried vanilla Arch once as a VM and got stuck.

I might try it again one day. For now, EndeavourOS is a good middle ground between Arch itself and Manjaro.

It helps to remember that the mind is not a truth machine, but a survival machine.

I recommend learning some psychology. The more you know about how the mind works, the easier it is to understand and spot logical fallacies, both in yourself and others.

Edit: also, you should practice those critical thinking skills instead of just keeping them in theory. You could apply them to past situations, for example.

How is that different from being afraid of terminals?

It's not like you have to learn everything there is to it at once, you know.

I use EndeavourOS btw

Is it just me, or are the more active posters here actually Windows refugees who haven't used Linux for too long?

I'm autistic too.

My point isn't that autistic people have a single, utopian personality, but that we're generally less susceptible to certain social/psychological phenomena that tend to make societies shittier.

A world where all humans are autistic.

It wouldn't solve everything, but at least there wouldn't be room for chronic reification, useless charismatic narcissists, Cartesian dualism, etc to become big issues like they are in our world.

B-but think of the iNdIvIdUaL!

I think the only reason Windows users are afraid of terminals is that they're not used to them. They're not that bad. Most terminal programs have a -(-)help command that shows you what you can do as well, in case you get stuck.

There is more variety of content here IMO. I like seeing more international posts even if i dont aleays understand the language or the context.

Wait, really? I'm having trouble finding non-English stuff even after sorting by new and subbing to non-English coms...

I don't get why more people don't just use ad blockers. The Reddit staff wouldn't even know what's happening until it's too late.

Stuff that's helped me so far:

• sudo paccache -r
• ncdu ( you may have to install it first )
• pacman -Qqdt
• Konmari'ing my computer occasionally.

I use EndeavourOS btw

Hey!

Quick question, Lemmy's comments use Markdown too, right?
