Dekkia.

I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.

Look at him. Screaming with joy, just living the moment.

I would hate it if something bad happened to him.

Deleting my account now means Musk wins.

Oh, I see. I had it on different disks with one efi partition at the start of each. Windows didn't like that.

I feel like there are two kinds of preppers.

OP is clearly making fun of only one of them.

Why do we need 24GB of RAM in a Phone again?

Windows will leave your EFi linux boot alone.

I wish that was True. Windows loves to overwrite boot partitions during major updates in my experience.

Obviously they do, most people have a gender.

Not sure if I would call it a threat.

Congressman Seth Moulton prposed to do this in May '23. Taiwan obviously wasn't happy about that proposal.

Then there's also a statement by former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien from March '23 where he said that "I can’t imagine they’d be intact" after an invasion of China.

The 2nd one is a bit nebulous but doesn't talk about reunification but about annexation.

Yes, but that stems more from the fact that the Republic of China (aka Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China both lay claims to be the real China.

You can't really declare independence from yourself.

Also the PRC would probably attack immediately if the ROC gave up their claim on being china.

Go back to bed.

X is old and very hard to maintain. A lot of rules about how displays work have changed drastically since X became a thing. X went along with most of those changes, which meant the introduction of more and more hacks to keep it running.

Over time X became worse and worse to work on and people realized that it's easier to write something new from scratch instead of trying to fix the decade-old technical debt in X.

That new thing was Wayland and over time most if not all people that where interested in working on desktop compositing pivoted away from X.

Wayland (as it is always the case with new software of that size) didn't hit the ground running. It had various issues at the beginning and also follows a different desig philosophy than X.

Despite a lot of issues being fixed some people are still very vocal about not wanting to use wayland for one reason or another. While some of those reasons are valid, most come from ignorance or laziness to adapt.

Maybe they where talking about the shape some cheap in-ears have? If headphones don't fit your ears well, they'll start to feel uncomfortable or even hurt after a while.

Anything that isn't debian-like. I'm just very used to It and can't make myself learn anything else.

I think you should check the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors.

The phone doesn't support 3G. Why are you spreading FUD?

Wayland break games

The Steam Deck uses wayland so I guess that's not true (anymore?)

Can you think of a real life equivalent expression of a drive-by downvote that wouldn't be considered rude?

I don't think downvoting a post without an explanation is rude. It's the most basic way of saying: "I don't like this".

But to answer your question: Literally showing someone a thumbs-down.

Also, why do you think they would care what you think if you're not going to engage more?

They should feel free to ignore Downvotes then (or disable them in their client)

it's hardly going to change my view

Of courses it won't, but I don't care. If I cared I'd write a comment.

But what If I don't want to have a conversation? Sometimes I just want to signal to someone that I don't like what they posted.

But there's there's already a way to clarify what your downvote means by just writing an additional comment.

But maybe someone doesn't want to clarify because they feel like it's not worth their time. Or maybe they disagree with everything and don't know where to start. Or maybe the just want to say "I don't like that" and that's it.
