Empress forgot to take her meds again

Jump

  • As someone who uses GrapheneOS, and likes Louis Rossman, this is very concerning. Could you link me to some info on this?

  • Don't forget the: "I'm the greatest philosopher who ever lived" and "I use visions and astral-states to crack my games" parts

  • I saw this tweet a while ago that was like "Piracy lore is crazy, there's only like 2 people who know how to crack Denuvo. One of them is a psychotic transphobe who speaks like a JRPG villain, and the other only cracks football games"

    I'm paraphrasing, but honestly it's so accurate...

    Edit: For anyone confused, here is a great writeup on the history of Denuvo cracking, and Empresses lunacy

    • YSK: If you work in the U.S. as a W-2 worker, you can check to see how much money you've paid into Social Security and learn when you'll become eligible to draw from it in retirement

  • Bold of you to assume anyone on here will be able to claim social security before it goes kaput

  • Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)

    I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.

  • There are legitimate criticisms of Manjaro, and these days there are better options like Archinstall or EndeavorOS, but yeah it's mostly just become a popular distro to shit on.

    Canonical deserves way more hate than the Manjaro devs tbh.

    • Mastodon's official stance on Threads

    Jump

  • Can someone explain to me why people are so violently opposed to this?

    If Threads blows up, and ActivityPub is integrated, you'll have access to all of it through any federated instance. No need to let Meta sap all your data to view it or communicate with it's users. Meta can't kill ActivityPub or force us onto Threads, just abandon it and leave us back where we are today. If you don't like the Meta users, just make or join an instance that isn't federated.

    Anyone can scrape the metaverse data and use it for whatever, Meta included. Them implementing ActivityPub doesn't change anything about that.

    Look I don't like Meta as much as the next guy, but this all just seems like illogical gatekeeping

    Edit: I understand now, see: XMPP and Google. Good article someone replied to me with, down below.

    • Best Distro for Laptops?

  • If you can set up and maintain an Arch installation, you can probably figure out Gentoo. It wasn't too bad when I did it. It's just not very convenient. in order to properly optimize, you have to set your use flags for each package. Not only that, but packages are compiled from source, rather than installed as pre-compiled binaries. So basically, you have to configure each package and updates take much longer.

  • In terms of optimization, Gentoo is the best you're gonna get, but the word "convenience" makes me hesitant to recommend it to you.

    Arch is minimal, and has many resources/guides on battery optimization (Especially for ThinkPads), but if you'd like to learn something else, Void is the way to go.

    If you're looking for a tiling WM, I can wholeheartedly recommend bspwm. Lots of control and customization, but pretty easy to configure when you understand it. Just know, it might be a hard change going from stacking to tiling.
