Weird

  • the victims are the people of ukraine, who are being fed to the war machine by a right wing nationalist government in the name of western hegemony

  • i'm excited for them to make one that makes us more sick. i think zuck is going to invent a new breed of nausea that they'll name after him.

  • like, okay maybe it's a fact that communist parties in the first world are being disrupted by such weirdos, but i think that speaks less to the effectiveness of bourgeois manipulation and more to the ineffectiveness of many communists. i don't consider it a great feat to be able to smell a reactionary before you see him and simply not take his stupid thoughts seriously. that's a low bar for a would-be communist party to clear.

  • it's a Type of Guy on Twitter, a dying site which mostly just accelerated the development of new breeds of mental illness when it was still popular. literally not something that exists in real life.

  • i mean, it wouldn't be the first time british communist orgs have devolved into reactionary tailism.

    the fact that this "movement" has zero real world purchase in the US, the nation that gives it all its signifiers and on which it is primarily fixated, should give you an idea of how serious it is. it's a meme that propagates through the brains of 20th century burnouts who feel nothing but disgust and confusion at pretty much every historical development since the working class lost the cold war, and so latch onto the growing fascist wave -- which frankly doesn't need direct help from the feds -- despite also being unable to understand why it's been successful.

    additionally, i recommend that you abandon the thought-terminating cliche of the "psyop." without any evidence that some social development is actually motivated by a nefarious actor, all it refers to is one's subjective feeling that what you're seeing is too bizarre to have a rational explanation. it's, frankly, antimaterialist, and not unlike the reasoning that motivates "MAGA communists"; observe how they often like to call challenges to their personal bigotries the work of the CIA.

  • more single use plastics and pesticides, personally

  • translation: my seat is vulnerable because i've failed to build a durable progressive coalition and there are zionists in my district who would do everything they can to end my career

  • coincidentally, the Youtuber Salubrious Snail just released a video that's directly relevant to your question

  • Consider playing a couple games where you swap decks. Commander players are used to downplaying their decks' strengths and other decks' weaknesses. Maybe you're wrong and you just need to learn some strategy fundamentals, but it sounds likely that there really is a significant deck power disparity.

    However, if that is the case, it's possible that your deck's shortcomings could be fixed without having to spend more than $5 on a single card. Adding more removal, removing duds, simplifying your game plan, or improving your mana base could help keep you in the game.

    Oh also I would be derelict in my duties if I did not remind you that proxying cards is good and everyone should do it all the time. If your play group doesn't allow proxies, they suck and you should start looking for some cool people to play with.

  • Btw

  • calm down honey, it's a joke.

  • Btw

  • honestly just start abusing drugs

  • shit, you're right. I'm unfamiliar with Fedora and Gnome. I also found this thread in the NVidia developer forums describing what sounds like the same issue with a similar setup, but the proposed workaround doesn't sound feasible.

  • is there an Open Source Hardware comm on lemmy.ml or elsewhere? I agree this is really cool

    e: of course it's in the sidebar [email protected], doy

  • Sounds like you're experiencing screen tearing, an effect where the refresh rate of your monitor can't keep up with your graphics card. This section of the Arch Wiki might be helpful.

    What kind of monitor do you have, and does it have a configurable refresh rate?

  • i quite like kitty, it's got great text rendering support

  • Ah shoot, you're right, I didn't read the card closely enough and see that it's a triggered ability, not a an activated ability.

    keeping the lands from a sealed events?

    So, I'm not a very experienced drafter, but I know you're supposed to return the lands you take from the land station. Recently though I attended a WOE draft (faeries, 1-2-0) and accidentally walked off with the 16 lands I borrowed. I know monetarily that's only a few cents, money that the store probably made back that night just off sales from the bulk box, but in terms of etiquette, just how bad is it?

    Especially welcome comments from people who have worked in game stores.

    What's your preferred deckbuilding software or site?

    I've been using Archidekt. I really like the built-in playtester, but the interface can be kind of sluggish, and some of the design decisions, especially around categorizing and sorting, are quite clunky.

    I know there are a lot of options but I haven't tried any of them. Are there any that you'd recommend?
