  • That was a fun mission in cyberpunk

  • lmao at the fact that even a company named GILEAD doesn't want anything to do with Musk trying to kickstart a handmaid's tale

  • y'all can just flip to china and they'll treat you really nice to try and placate future potential allies

    at least... for like a decade or two

  • ah, i see now. it's more about things just working and it being right there

    even what distro to choose is already a thing people have to actively research. most people are more interested in just having the thing simply work, than they are having it work in a way that they've customized, if that road takes more than minimal effort. i think that the divide is actively growing now, and that the easy access of smartphones and most apps not having much customization is probably part of it.

  • kbin allows you to filter instances

  • also the front page of this very community has multiple posts from people whose systems aren't working, or who are worried about software being incompatible with linux. it's still not easy. and Ubuntu came pre-loaded on computers a decade ago and that didn't really do anything.

  • this is copium my friend. look at these forums, you don't find people talking about proselytizing ubuntu and mint, it's people circlejerking about how cool they are for using kali and arch and knowing whatever minutiae of computing

  • that really doesn't have anything to do with what i'm talking about.

  • I'd say the same to you

    pretty telling that the community takes criticism of gatekeeping superiority complexes as being equivalent to trolling

  • another smug message! surprise

    god forbid i actually want people to use FOSS

  • smug senses of superiority in the FOSS community?

    amazing... no wonder linux use has only grown if you include the steam deck and closed off governmental systems

  • shit like this comment thread is why regular people use windows. who the fuck wants to learn about this kind of stuff when you can just point and click? especially when the people who should be helping you post brain-dead self-congratulatory gate-keeping shit like this.

    if y'all want people to use linux maybe make it palatable instead of maintaining its difficulty so you can get a chubby about how smart you are

  • The courts aren't going to side with copyright holders. As much as the US loves its ridiculous copyright laws it loves profit and being on the bleeding edge of tech more. There is absolutely ZERO chance that the United States will let China, who does not care about IP, carry the keys to the AI kingdom

  • It also works to help obfuscate Democratic corruption as it's nowhere near as bad and when pointed out is immediately compared to the much worse Republican corruption, which in turn pushes the envelope (full of cash) forwards even more. It sucks.

  • would it be ok if a black actor portrays a white actor doing blackface?

    man if done correctly that could be a scream

  • Bro I’ll craft apologisms for the USSR occasionally but the idea that they were a non-interventionist polity is fucking ridiculous. The USSR tried to overthrow like half of the governments in the world.

  • How many slurs have you seen directed towards Russians - since this is worse?

  • Is this supposed to be a gotcha? There are tons of international vote monitor groups. Everyone uses them all the time.
