Of course, the theory is exaggerated.

But to be honest, every time I’m watching a video on yourube with more than a hundred comments and any kind of political relevance, I just assume at least 90% of the comments are bots. Same goes for twitter arguments.

It’s not the same, it’s in the same direction. If you want to defeat somebody you must make sure you remain better than them, otherwise they may as well win.

Hey don’t get me wrong I think his decision of voting for a third party is really really really stupid, I don’t think we disagree here.

But the political discourse in the current time is dead, and it’s polarisation that killed it. There can be no healthy democracy in an environment where opponents are not seen as dignified people who you disagree with.

I’m doing my part here to keep democracy alive. This guy is somebody who has ideas I find to be very wrong, but is still a guy like me and you who is doing the best he can like me and you, albeit misguidedly.

Who needs it right? Let’s go harass political opponents, jail journalists we don’t like, have people executed on our birthdays like they do in Russia - there is no democracy in a 2 party system anyway, why keep appearances. Let’s go full fascist, that will show how we are better than the other fascists.

And the internet keeps getting more, and more dead.

Yeah that will change his mind, what kind of reasonable individual wouldn’t be swayed by calling them a shithead.

You should consider joining one of those things where they call people on the phone to make them vote, just please do it for the republicans.

Why not, it’s only antidemocratic if they do it, right?

IDK man, I’ve had rather poor experience with extensions. At least in gnome they pretty much filled in for some feature that should have been there but it wasn’t hip enough for GNOME (ie systray).

Ever since gnome 3 came out I found myself time and time again in the loop where something is missing, I build myself some smorgasbord of extensions to make the experience the way I want it, then a new gnome minor is released and some of those extensions are now abandoned / incompatible with others / suddenly buggy / behaving differently so I have to start over. It’s not very different in kde, extensions get abandoned and break in there too, but I never had to have more than two at a time.

When it comes to DEs I’ve learned over the years to stick to the core as much as possible because extensions are just not reliable, which is also the reason why I don’t use gnome anymore.

I don’t think the analogy with IDEs really holds: language extensions in major IDEs are usually maintained with some degree of professionalism, for example the Ansible extension for vscode is maintained by Red Hat. It’s a very different ecosystem from the one made of pet projects started by people who one time felt something was amiss in their DE, and pray the gods they still have that opinion and care enough.

Edit: just to be clear I’m not dunking on this extension or extensions in general, I’m just explaining why somebody would want to avoid relying on them too much

Yes, that is the upstream. Valve’s downstream of wine is called proton.

That’s not what is surprising.

Gaming under emulation is not exactly easy stuff even under optimal conditions, when your drivers and userland are not experimental/hacks and you are running on the same architecture - try doing AAA gaming on Linux using a windows VM and you will see.

Setting aside gaming for a moment, cross-architectural emulation is stupidly slow because it cannot use any hardware features, it’s all software work on the cpu. Do you have a Linux machine? Try downloading a Firefox binary for another architecture (aarch64 for example) and run it, try watching a youtube video, if you haven’t died of old age in the meantime. Now Apple has this rosetta magic thing to emulate x86, but it was never meant to run (and it was never used before) on bare metal Linux.

Now what happens here is that there is a vm that runs a vm of a different architecture (arm 64k vs arm 4k) that runs another vm of different architecture (x86), and somehow you can game on it with competitive performance. All of it with a dnf install.

Simply put, this is unheard of.

Sure, man. Be uninterested in politics if you like, but don’t think for a second that this will make politics uninterested in you.

That’s not how it is though, is it. By not voting you are not exempting yourself from political life, you just choose not to matter.

You are not passing on the snake bite. You are letting others choose the snake for you.

So arm 16k emulates arm 4k which emulates x86, and somehow the performance is great. I am without words.

Downvoted for speaking the (technical) truth

This is the best explanation of anything I’ve read in years. I think you are spot on. There would be a lot less polarisation online if people understood this.

Best of luck my friend

🤷‍♀️ I was using mutt for both smtp and imap in 2002, don’t know how long before that it worked — but at least since then.

… what? mutt can talk imap and smtp natively, I don’t know what else you need to qualify as an “email client”
