This is the year of the linux desktop!
By our powers combined, we’ll exceed 2% market share!
(no actually, please support linux. I just switched like a month ago and while it’s so much better than windows there are so many petty annoyances that will never get resolved unless more people bitch about it and that kind of support needs more users)
I’ll never have kids.
My niece though will have a thorough education on sailing the high seas when she’s old enough to choose media on her own.
You sound like a rational tankie, which by the definitions that lemmies have explained to me, would make you not a tankie.
In order for a 3rd option to be viable, the entire system must change. I’m not holding my breath.
Between now and then, all we can do is vote for the less bad of two evils.
when was the last time you installed windows? Also, what version? If you’ve only ever had it set up for you, then you may have only used windows that had already been cleaned of all the bullshit. This includes pc s provided by your work.
For win10, the install iso provided by microsoft puts ads for games in the windows store in the default start menu. I have installed many win10 pc s over the years, and candy crush (among others) is always there.
The game isn’t out yet. The fuck are they talking about success for?
it’s yet another open world survival craftathon with fortnite building and a gimick. If you like the gimmick, then good for you, don’t let me tell you not to like the thing you like.
I’ve seen a number of these games come and go. Ark survival, raft, conan exiles, rust, and more that I’ve forgotten the names of. Obviously there’s a demand for a game like this, but none of them stand above the rest. If you ignore the aesthetic, then they’re all the same. Play one and you’ve played them all, and to me that’s boring.
solved for quite some time. it gets mixed with concrete and stuck in a bigger concrete container called a “dry cask”.
Link, because I believe in “outsourcing critical thinking”.
Ooof. I hope that’s a stain and not heat discoloration, otherwise that’s not a sword, but a sword-shaped wall decoration.
fifteen years ago, I was made fun of for asking how the xmen movies related to the mcu movies. LOOK WHOS FUCKIN RIGHT NOW BITCHES.
What really got my panties in a bunch was when the next bus after that flew by without stopping (an hour after the previous bus).
I’m so glad I don’t ride the bus anymore.
my dude, your comment just opened my eyes to a possibility that I had not considered previously. Seriously wish I did drugs right now so I could smoke a bowl and stew on it for a couple hours.
is my “I dont’ wanna” because I’m actually terrified? it makes so much sense.
I kinda hate it.
What’s really fun is when I’m at the stop (and had been for the past hour) and watch the bus go by without so much as slowing down. Then I have to call my job and explain that the bus skipped me.
that actor would have made a great joker.
why don’t people use krita? Gimp may be the most famous photoshop alternative, but I almost never hear anyone talk about others that may potentially be better.
and become facebook? I’d rather not.
I’m an idiot making a thing, and I need to pick a license. Where’s a good place to talk to people more knowledgeable than myself on the subject?
EDIT: so my thing isn’t software, i probably should have mentioned that. I am making a ruleset and setting for something similar to but not exactly a tabletop rpg. The ORC license sounds promising, but the legalese makes my brain gray out. ChatGPT tells me to use a version of the Creative Commons license, but ChatGPT isn’t exactly reliable.
i can easily agree with 90% of that. The remaining 10% needs asterisks pointing towards further nuanced discussion. I’ll not specify which topics go into which category.
Exactly. If there’s anything that we can point to and say “humanity, fuck yeah” this is it. Giving thanks to aliens or to gods is an insult to the hard work of the HUMANS that accomplished this.
I am by no means an expert, but the test that was explained to me is that if you look at the famous tianamen square picture of the guy holding grocery bags facing down a line of tanks, and then proceed to side with the line of tanks, then you’re a tankie.
When I say that I am not an expert, what I actually mean is that I’m a random idiot from the internet, so don’t take anything I say as gospel truth.
I’ve only been on lemmy for a few months, and I’ve never heard the term tankie on any other platform. My understanding is that a tankie is a militant supporter of communism, who completely disregards (or is in support of) how every time it’s ever actually been done it turns into an authoritarian dictatorship (or something similarly unpleasant to live under).
My own biases exposed: I am an american, and most of what I know I learned in the absolutely fucked american public education system, which says communism = evil, because of the red scare a while back.
If you do some googling, there’s a wikipedia article on the subject. I’ve forgotten most of the content of that article shortly after I read it, I should look at it again and maybe it will stick this time.
