  • I suspect it was due to how much force is required to finally overcome the membrane, which caused a sharp and semi forceful drop as I bottomed out, and there's not much squish or dampening to soften it. I think I'm a somewhat heavy typer though, so that likely compounded it.

  • SNES:

    Sunset Riders and Wild Guns are fun little western shooters.

    Genesis:

    Rock'n'roll Racing is a fantastic racer.

    GBA:

    The Wario games are pretty superb for quick sessions

  • I used one of these for a while, and weirdly it's the only keyboard I've ever used that gave me finger pain.

  • Just want to mention DavinciBox, which makes installing Davinci on any distro a pretty seamless and hands-off affair.

  • Japan had some killer PC designs in the 80's and 90's. But I'd say my favorite is a toss up between the X68000 and the Sony MSX 2

    For consoles, I still think the Sega Genesis Model 1 is a masterclass in visual design.

  • They're active branches in most cities, but they can be formed anywhere, even rural areas. If there's a local union that'll take you in and isn't corporate captured (teamsters being an example of corporate captured, IMO), then sure, that can work.

    But the IWW is the only union that can unionize any industry, is global in scope, and is grassroots with a revolutionary spirit.

  • Personally I'd recommend Linux Mint, as you're likely to have a very positive experience with it.

  • Fedora hasn't been all roses for my particular setup either, since they fully dropped X11 in the latest version, but my hardware combo isn't viable yet with Wayland, ultimately making me land on Linux Mint (which has been pretty dang nice).

    I also tried OpenSUSE slowroll before trying Fedora, which I love the concept of, but an update on that seemed to bork my system (second monitor would remain blank upon booting), which made me a bit skeptical of its claims of extra stability over normal Tumbleweed.

  • In some ways, evil is getting the upper hand at the moment, mostly brought on by moderates failing to address basic and fundamental problems forming in society due to being corporate captured.

    However, we have a few options at our disposal to fight back:

    1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will make the coming months much more bearable, and lay the ground work for effective resistance.
    2. We can still effect things drastically with a general strike. This massively impacts their income streams, and can bring the country to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
    3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

    If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Don't become paralyzed with doubt and fear, march on and push as much you can. Together we're strong, separated we are weak. So join up with allies while we still can easily!

  • I haven't experienced any friction from DNF, so personally I don't see it as a con. I just think Fedora has a useful middle ground between new packages and stability.

  • Fedora is a solid middle ground between Arch and Debian.

  • Even with the automated testing, Tumbleweed will still sometimes introduce problems with updates. They mitigate the risk of that with Snapper, so you can rollback to a previous state if things get borked.

    Personally, though I've tried it a few times, I just can't get on with openSuse distros.

    1. Updating is really slow since Zypper does one task at a time, compared to DNF or Apt which can download and install multiple packages at once
    2. Updating is particularly slow in the US, since most opensuse servers are in the EU
    3. Yast is powerful for enterprise/sysadmins, but is damn clunky to use for everyday normal stuff (IMHO).

    I'd honestly just go for Fedora if you want up-to-date packages, perhaps Nobara if you want it more pre-setup for gaming and codecs. It's much more slick overall.

  • In case it's not obvious, this is an educational game to teach how the oil industry is able to control our governments and destroy the planet.

  • Reminder that Piefed's patreon is only at $13 a month. If you have the means, consider donating to the project to say thanks for all of the work and effort being put into it :)

  • I hadn't thought of a keyword blocker, but that might just be the ticket to solving it permanantly. Cheers for the recommendation!

  • My parent gets recommended right wing propoganda via youtube, and it's infuriatingly difficult to stop it. After I blocked Fox news, the algorithm will simply recommend Fox news videos and streams from innumerable other random channels that do nothing but that, and it becomes whack a mole.

    I subscribed them to better sources, but even after deleting the view history, that shit always finds a way back.

  • Definitely seems like a pretty neato place :)

  • Also @freebee@sh.itjust.works

    That powerlessness you feel is by design, and every state technically wants you to feel some form of it, with varying intensity. It keeps people from trying to make things better without actually having to put effort in to preventibg them.

    But there are things we can do, and we are not powerless. Get involved in your local communities while there is still time to organize: https://infosec.exchange/@tinker/113589807117870451

    That's how everything in history has ever changed for the better.
