It's running on Lemmy.ml. I guess they're trying to be cautious, test thoroughly and iron out issues. My experience has been positive so far, and I do seem to be seeing more content from small communities which is great.

But if they catch you sweating, you're busted. Isn't it public record that the guy cannot sweat?

Source? Do the UK even have a Sears Catalogue?

To be fair, subs kept getting hijacked. I wouldn't blame them.

Company? It's the UK communications regulator, Ofcom.

They found that many on low incomes don't have photocard ID when they rolled out voter ID despite opposition.

Considering no one seems capable of withholding data from motivated hackers, this could be quite horrific.

Believe internet strangers? I had it on my laptop and Pinephone. After breaking twice on both, I went for Kubuntu then OpenSuse for desktop and PostmarketOS on the Pinephone.

You may be cheerleading for Manjaro but don't discount experience of people that went there, suffered and want others to not suffer. If you really need easy to use Arch, EndeavourOS is far superior.

I'm on OpenSuse and it's great. If you're tempted by Arch, go straight up Arch. Manjaro doesn't give any pluses here, only negatives.

I've had it break many times during update. Don't get me wrong, I liked it at first, but if you want a system that works after update, you're probably better checking elsewhere. Linux Mint, and Kubuntu are far better simplicity wise. Open Suse or Arch if you want rolling updates.

I guess that would explain the difficulties some apps face without push notifications and releasing APKs. These big companies want you to rely on their systems. Signal was pushing their app through play store. I don't know if an equivalent exists, but it really needs to. We need this, combined with f-droid, so we don't have to use spyware like the Play Store.

Do you have a source for this?

I read this on the BBC, and it felt very narrative driven:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67629181

For example, the following:

"One man we spoke to from the festival site said he heard the "noises and screams of people being murdered, raped, decapitated".

To our question about how he could be sure - without seeing it - that the screams he heard indicated sexual assault rather than other kinds of violence, he said he believed while listening at the time that it could only have been rape. "

How can they be certain if they didn't see it? It's a really weird one.

There are also weird accounts like killing mid-rape, and mutilating mid-rape, which sounds horrific, but unplausible in some ways. I can imagine both situations (killing and mutilation) probably happened, but during and at the same time?

There were also clashes between a serving soldier that said multiple, but hard to know. And other official figures that claim abundant and systematic. It does seem like a lot of official sources, and it's weird that it's all gone from little information on this to extensive comments from government, army officials.

The BBC article has the following "The BBC has not been able to independently verify this account, and Israeli media reports have questioned some testimony from volunteers working in the traumatic aftermath of the Hamas attacks." but no real information about what was question, by who, and on what grounds. It's hard to get a balanced account because BBC is printed it and all government quotes as fact.

I'm in no way downplaying what Hamas has done, 1,200 dead, and you'd expect many of these things to be barbaric and I do believe that rape did occur at various times. It's just the way this information is being fed, it's trying to turn public opinion following disgust of over 15,000 dead and probably close to half of that being women and children. How do you justify that level of human casualties? How do you paint yourself as the victims when you conduct yourself in that manner? I suspect stories of systematic rape surfacing after almost 2 months, when I'd have expected it to be out and on front pages after 2 weeks.

Such a weird list. Powerwash simulator in it, but no Bullfrog game. No Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital, Populous, Theme Park. Not even Black and White. No Age of the Empires 2. Heroes of Might and Magic 3... Command and Conquor...

What a load of poppycock.

Considering they have Alpha Centauri in there (justifiable), they don't seem to have many staff who have played some of the classics.

I used to have problems with audio crackling. I'd restart pulseaudio, and it would resolve. I haven't had that problem for a long time now though. I think it's been resolved.

I like OpenSuse TW. It's up to date, and I've not had many issues with gaming. I did have an issue with a dodgy texture in No Man's Sky, but it runs stuff like Valheim (Steam), Project Zomboid (Steam), Minecraft, Rimworld (Lutris) good for me. I don't really do any AAA, so cannot really comment on those.

Game loaded

"Please stop spying on us"

"Oh, sorry! Didn't mean to. Didn't realise I was."

Political associations is a real dangerous one. The fact the government could get access to information to who supports opposition parties in the wrong hands effectively end democracy in one term.

The thing is, if they don't offer these cheap stuff, they may have to do something crazy, like pay staff what they are worth. This definitely looks like a false economy.

You complained about reliance on GUI tools, so you're going to have to explain how that isn't easy to use if folk are to help you. What is the issue with that for you?

Most stuff on opensuse, you can also do on command line. Having a GUI to help people who like a GUI doesn't mean people who like command line aren't facilitated.

On OpenSuse, sudo zypper install package-name

Not too complex if you ask me.

Petty criminals in some cases. Potentially some who were starving and stole to eat. Do societies run in the interests of working people punish those people for struggling or focus on rehabilitation where it is possible? Push them into force work camps where a very significant number die. Is trying to eat a death penalty now?

Stalin ain't that saint you think he was.

Was Trotsky working against the USSR? He was actively involved under Lenin, but when Stalin wanted to grasp power, he became a problem. Do you think Lenin was wrong and Stalin was right?

It feels very much like you're in a Stalin shaped cult of personality, which is ultimately was what his rule of the USSR was, not some glory day communist rule poster child. If you really want to persuade people that communism is better. Evangelising a dictator isn't going to help the case of furthering Marxist philosophy.
