I've sat for a while meditating on this, and now I come here to share the fruits of my mental labor. The comment I've been working on for hours is: lol
I'll do it then, I am victim-blaming. An 11 year old broke the rules and logged onto a website that she shouldn't be on and then somehow a 30 year old guy forced her to take naked pictures. The problem wasn't the website, it's this child that broke the rules and doesn't know not to do things for strangers on the internet.
Chiming in with Starcraft 2 (and 1). You can run it through Lutris like I set up for my friend or Steam which I use myself. The game runs great, it's highly polished, and still has a big community and pro scene. Somebody here complained about getting stomped in competitive, but both games use an MMR system so after some placement matches you'll get paired with roughly even opponents who are just as bad as you are :) There's also a (tiny but slowly growing) Starcraft community here on Lemmy and many on Discord. There are also more casual team games and co-op commander games as well as many popular custom game types/maps. One of my favorites is Battle Poker where your cards are units and the winner is determined by an automatic battle between player's units who don't fold.
All my windows snap like that, I don't know what you're talking about. Just go to System Settings, search for snap, go to Window Behavior, click on Movement tab at the top. You can configure your window snapping preferences here.
"less often discussed is TikTok’s power to radically distort the world-picture that America’s young people encounter" LMAO they really do hate competition, don't they?
I moved my non-techie friend to Kubuntu and this was one of the speedbumps we ran into. I had to set .deb files to open with something other than the KDE get new software app. I think we're using qapt-something. I wish discord didn't treat us Linux users like 2nd class citizens. They coded support for capturing OS sound for Windows, but not Linux or Mac for that matter.
As an aside, I think this situation is a microcosm for different OS's and it's users:
Windows users: We're the biggest group so sound works fine for us.
Linux users: Discord doesn't support our needs so we implemented it ourselves with discord-screenaudio.
Mac users: Discord doesn't support our needs and there's no solution to purchase so I guess we're just fucked.
