+1 for Linux Mint, switched from windows 10 recently.

Terminal is annoying but not needed as much as I feared, and usually it’s copy + paste anyway (ctrl + shift + v to paste in terminal). A lot of stuff is easier on Linux, like updating, and (sometimes) installing things. Also, it’s a feeling that your computer will stay the same or get better, not get worse.

Also:

In Steam, you use Proton when your install button is grey, by tapping the gear icon on the right, selecting Properties, Compatibility, checking the box that says “force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, and choosing the first thing from the drop-down menu. So far everything I’ve done this with has worked immediately after.

I would read layman discussions about why this (by context?) is good.

Good idea.

They don’t pay teachers enough and sometimes it shows.

Good energy here.

Thank you.

Microsoft Recall.

Worse than all but the worst viruses, for real. Takes screenshots of everything (everything), and stores the contents where hackers can steal them easily.

It’ll probably get quietly reactivated every few updates, so you can never really afford not to be checking.

How do people get so crazy.

I mean I know fox news but how are they dumb enough to fall for that.

I’m becoming very di-senlightened by Lemmy

You sure don’t seem very senlightened, let alone twice so.

If you’re not young, then you’ve had longer to observe systemic bullshit, so I’m not sure why you’re trying to imply that people should become dumber and more other-blind over time.

It is, in fact, everybody’s job to keep their poise, especially in the middle of hell, because otherwise they become incapable of becoming informed anyway, since they just go rage-blind.

This is the energy I like to see.

Fuck everybody who goes along with, denies, or minimizes terrorism and genocide, no matter who they are.

Delete this comment or just the cunt’s name. No spreading it. Bad news when we do. Thanks.

We can probably assume it’s standard republican extremist terrorism like usual. Chance it could be something else though.

No spreading the cunt’s name.

Well that’s maybe the cuntiest comment on here so far today.

Stupid reality not saying “yes” when some fat wheezing whining dumbass says wrong shit constantly.

Republicans are downright nonsensical and suicidal in their shittiness, for whatever weird reason. Obviously, if they thought it through, they wouldn’t do that…or vote for trump or support anything he’s doing.

The real question is how to get them to actually notice that they don’t get what they want when they do awful shit. They tend to just argue and whinge and turn red-faced and whiny instead. Then: more horrible shit.

How’s your son’s dick today, Mike Johnson? You have the app that tells you, so if you wouldn’t mind…

Anybody who thinks about that question enough always realizes they don’t want that kind of power and control. Sometimes people think about it partly, get excited by the promises of power, but only misrepresented by their own misunderstandings, and mistakenly think they do.

Nobody actually does, just not everybody realizes it fully.

Perfect.

The more people vocally speak up against Nazis–the easiest stance in the world to take–the sooner it goes away.

Talking sense online does help. It doesn’t forcibly stop them instantly, but it absolutely helps, so everybody do it. No point is too obvious. “It’s good when governments help their citizens and bad when they attack them.”

“Everybody who assaults their fellow countrymen because some limp traitor told them to is a bitch.”

They just combine words they’ve heard before.
