Yes, their platform was weak. But you seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an acceptable alternative?
  • Weak platform my ass. Half of the US population is simply too brainwashed to even comprehend what Kamala offered them.

  • I use Debian btw
  • Team blue for both.

  • Touchscreens Are Out, and Tactile Controls Are Back
  • Touchscreens can stay, but only for non-essential tasks like changing settings or entering addresses. Climate, media, and all other controls you usually use while driving should be tactile by mandate.

  • Where Do You Guys Throw Your Local Git Repos?
  • Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials

  • Rule
  • Conservatives can't comprehend this meme

  • Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups
  • That's bog standard KDE, I have no idea about the distro tho

  • Mozilla explains their recent foray into advertising - A free and open internet shouldn’t come at the expense of privacy
  • I would love to give Firefox money, as long as they slash their CEO's ridiculous salary

  • Winamp for desktop source code has been released.
  • People on Hacker News are speculating that they implicitly define forking as "taking the project in a different direction in an independent repo". The Github TOS say that everyone has the right to create a fork of any public repo in the Github sense of the word. It's all a huge mess...

  • Winamp for desktop source code has been released.
  • They have the audacity to use the term copyleft for that bullshit license... It doesn't mean anything unless you have the right to fork it.

  • linux or windows?
  • Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

  • Technik statt Ritalin: Start-up will ADHS-Symptome mit einem Wearable mildern
  • Gibt es eine Doppelblindstudie zu dem Konzept?

  • There are levels to Rich and every one of them should be taxed
  • I'd prefer taking away most of their fake money and gaining back control over our economy

  • GTK 4.16.0 released, now defaults to Vulkan renderer on Wayland
  • Truat me, you ro not want to experience CPU based rendering on high resolution displays

  • Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?
  • I bet the others already gave a lot of good advice, but there is one thing I wand to emphasize. The way in which you install software matters more on Linux than on any other operating system. You are meant to install it through your distros package manager, which you will most likely use through the software management GUI of your distro. Do not download any executables from websites directly, unless you are absolutely sure that:

    • They are made to work on your distro
    • They come from a trustworthy source
    • You have complete and up to date instructions on how to install them

    Sometimes you might need to add additional repositories to your package manager, the same rules apply there. You might also run into things called Flatpaks and Snaps, these are universal package formats and another great option for installing software. Flatpaks work out of the box in a lot of distros. Number one rule there is to stick to things that are marked as verified, unless you have a good reason to trust them. These universal formats might be integrated in the GUI software manager too, this varies across distros.

    If you follow those rules and keep your system updated, I don't expect you will have much trouble with Linux.

  • Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all
  • I applaud your bravery with Arch. Have some fun with it and don't worry if you break stuff. Keep your files backed up and you're golden! Even if you switch to a different distro later on, a lot of what you learn will translate 1:1.

  • Square Enix invests in Linux distribution
  • Web 3 games are simply ponzi schemes hidden behind a super grindy game. As far as I know, none of these games actually produce anything of value from the labor put into them, so the payouts must come from new money entering the scheme.

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • I tries it a couple months ago and it was horrible, didn't even support flexbox back then and it kept crashing. The latest nightly builds are almost usable for basic web browsing though, it's amazing how fast servo improves

  • ADHD Rule
  • Psychiatrists in my area have long waiting lists, and most of them don't even have a website where I can look up if they know anything about ADHD. It takes a lot of willpower for me to get over my anxiety and call even one of them, and naturally it never leads anywhere. It seems like all my mental health problems are working against me making this appointment, and the psychiatrists aren't doing anything to help with the process.

  • Steam crashes my entire Linux system, so I'll go 100% piracy

    The steam launcher is a mess, and Valve refuse to fix it. Seems like they don't want my money then. I have no trouble with running pirated singleplayer games through Lutris, so I'll just do that instead.
