  • But but but Wine Is Not an Emulator

  • Eh, as a homeschooler parent and a household of Linux users, more like Linux are being homeschooled and Apple is a fancy private school for rich folk (and scholarships for the not so well off of course)

  • Ah, my Windows (dual booted and hardly ever used) desktop wallpaper. 😅

  • Would also like to know. I use Arch everyday and have never noticed any dryness 🤷🏻‍♀️ I talk to my spouse about Arch (he also uses Arch BTW) and can't say as I have experienced any changes at all. Almost as though my pussy has no fucks to give about what distro I use.

  • Thank you! I never knew this existed. Awesome!

  • Can someone explain this for folks whose existence is outside the US

  • And do what with it? Embrace, Extend, and then Extinguish it nd screw people over even more?

  • I don't think that's a Japanese emotion. I think that's just a culture of sexualising underage girls and creating a 'reason' why it's OK to cause pain to a young girl by implying, "Oh, actually it's OK because even though she's distressed she actually likes it". I would hope anyone here has the genera intelligence to understand how horrifically awful that is.

  • But by the same token I also wouldn't put it past Nintendo and Sony to make backroom deals with Unity. And bonus if it screws over the competition.

  • Red flags are always free. Upfront anyway. You pay for them at an unexpected time in unpleasant ways later. So feel free to have as many as Unity is providing. 😊

  • RED FLAGS!! red flaaags. RED FLAAAGS, get your red flags heeeeere folks 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

  • More reasons I'm glad we switched to Jellyfin

  • Or doesn't lie about their own spying and data mining.

  • This is my issue too. Yes, there are some things that are absolutely dangerous and some things that are completely nuts. But not all conspiracy theories, for example, are crazy. Some are actual conspiracies. That aside it's a dangerous precedent to set when someone is picking and choosing what to show or not show and removing the ability of others to decide for themselves.

    Many governments, organisations, companies, etc. can be above board, but they don't always stay that way. Others are dystopian in their obsession with power and control. Its not always obvious what's what when censorship and curation of results are going on.

    And frankly, sometimes the 'facts' turn out to be wrong. Our reality is that we live in a world where profit and greed drives information and trends, where late stage capitalism leads to more exploitation and all of this is helped by bias, fraud, science for sale and yes, censorship.

    I cannot trust a company or organiation that censors search results because quite simply it means I can't tell if they're covering over anything else and what that anything else could be.

    Much like the parable of the boy who cried wolf. You're either 100% above board and trustworthy or you're not.

  • Yes? For example, my local print shop only prints files from email. Makes it a little hard to download and attach to an email on my phones email app if the button is missing on mobile.

    Or sometimes I don't have access to my PC and I'll downlod stuff to my phone to transfer to my PC later.

  • Yes, but for those who don't watch anime or play anime games, it can be great to get summaries so you have context for some conversations. Like, if a friend of mine watches a TV show or plays a game when I don't, if I have no interest in watching or playing, I have no context. Maybe I want to support my friends interest without putting in the same hours so it's nice to be able to get a summary or just the important parts so I know what my friend is talking about and can at least converse with them on the basics. (Though I do believe such videos should have giant spoiler warnings)

  • I don't get this either. Before my current PC, my last install was 6 years old. I could count on one hand the number of times I broke that install and every single time was my own damn fault.

    I had Manjaro on a laptop that didn't get updated for about a year. Broken on update because I didn't check Arch news first to see if manual intervention was needed. Was still faster to fix than a backup-reinstall.

    Countless other installs of Arch or derivatives on various PCs and laptops without issue.

    There can definitely be more of a learning curve but once you're set, I find it much easier to maintain than other distros. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • Obligatory, that's not socialism, that's Totalitarianism. Don't work so well as a portmanteau but it's a teeth grinding pet peeve of mine - like, if we're going to mock greedy despotic corporates, let's at least insult them using the correct words 😅

  • We only ever buy second hand laptops. When our teen bought his brand new PC, it came installed with Windows. I asked the shop, when enquiring about customisation, if it could come without Windows but was told that it had already been installed and even if we opted to wait for one that wasn't built yet, the mount of money they charge for OEM Windows is very little so we wouldn't save much anyway.

    Outside of donating, Linux distros don't cost anything so it's not like paying for an OS on top of paying for an OS.
