  • Two $20 bills. In all seriousness, there are a lot of board or card games that go for less than $50 dollars.

  • Quoting Sprite@lemmy.ml: "Queer here, I'm for Palestine. Even if someone might be hypothetically homophobic, I still do not support an apartheid and ethnical cleansing. Many a lib are crypto-gay-friendly anyway and the mask falls off very quickly when a queer person may need tangible help or merely dares to exist near them. "

  • DT coping and malding. (DistroTube made a video about how systrays are useless)

  • your mother /s. The google productive suite is something I have to use, but I do not like it. I've cordoned it off to a separate Firefox profile with no personal stuff on it, but still.

  • I have my EFI boot partition with 512M on /boot, zram instead of swap, then a whole lot of btrfs subvolumes, with RAID across several disks. I do a lot of snapshotting, and auto-snapshotting, but thats mostly for local rollback. I only btrfs-send to a machine on the LAN. For my real backups I use Restic, sending that data to a number of places.

  • Join some kind of org that's in a niche you enjoy. Enjoy planes? Join AOPA. Engineer planes? Join AIAA. Like programming? There tend to be a bunch of local meetups. Into left wing politics? You could join the DSA or the IWW or the PSL, etc.

    Honestly though I've found the best way to make new friends is to meet them through your current friends.

  • Both sidesing this conflict isn't really reflective of whats happening. Israel has been attacking and killing civilians since the Nakba in 1948. Not to mention the nearly 1400 children (and above 4,000 mostly civlian) deaths the attacks since Oct 7th caused. Israel has kept the Gaza economy close to collapse, and used to have a policy of keeping Gaza perpetually starved (now the simply don't let food into Gaza).

    The Hamas attack and the strength of Hamas is quite literally the result of Israeli policy. Israel had a strategy of targeting the PLO while encouraging Islamic resistance so they could encourage infighting and avoid the involvement of the USSR. Israel funded and supported Hamas. Israel is at least partially at fault for the death of their civilians.

  • I love Sway with Arch, been running it for about two years across a few devices. Sway has yet to freeze, crash, or otherwise act unstable. It's wonderful.

  • Good thing I've been using LibRedirect with Invidious and Piped for a while now. YouTube really has been going downhill.

  • vim and neovim actually hold a pretty significant marketshare on Linux. a lot of developers use MacOS or Windows, so what does it matter if one more small thing is proprietary? It obviously does matter, but people don't think of it that way.

  • pretty sure we have solid confirmation its pronounced yiff

  • mobile first stuff on desktop

  • Oh, and hopefully Veilid will catch on big

  • I trust Signal more, but the main reason I use Signal is because a lot of people I know use it. I would personally love if Briar caught on more, but given that isn't really happening SimpleX is your best bet.

  • Patches for the kernel that make the camera work exist, even though they haven't been accepted into the kernel you could just compile it yourself. Maybe I'm not the best resource though, I hard bricked my 6T two days ago. Ubuntu Touch is also an option, it has camera support because it uses an older more custom kernel.

  • Which ignores how Putin has made repeated references to the borders of the Russian Empire as justification. Take Putin's essay, On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians, for example. He mentions the Russian Empire more than the USSR and talks of the "Ukrainization in the Ukrainian SSR " during the "1920's-1930's" and how "Ukrainization was often imposed on those who did not see themselves as Ukrainians". He couldn't make a claim to Ukraine based on the UdSSR if Ukraine was developed as a separate entity during the UdSSR's existence. Russia today is more comparable to Imperial Russia than to the UdSSR. Even then, the justification lies more in the existence of ethnic Russians in Ukraine, rather than historical claims.

    The CPC, unfortunately, does not cling to Mao. Celebrations of his birthday have been largely scaled back, there are no large pictures of Mao at their congresses or on most of their propaganda, and he is rarely brought up in newspapers. Mao's little red book is largely seen as nostalgia. The CPC is big on "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" instead of "Mao Zedong Thought".

  • The UdSSR is the successor of Imperial Russia, which was a monarchy. That means the UdSSR was right extremist and a monarchy
