Every nation/country-specific instance can go, tbh. They always have the worst users.

I took a bite of a green banana. I didn't think about it too much, but figured that they would just taste different like they do when they're very ripe. I didn't know they'd be crunchy, starchy, and extremely bitter. I should have known when the peel didn't want to come off without more force, but I was already committed.

I've never played a vita, but is a .pkg file that says it works with Vita3k fine or does nonpdrm mean something specific for your set up?

Edit: Either way, you may be interested in NoPayStation

Atomic desktops are the (current) future, so: https://blues.win/95/

I'm assuming all of it works, even posts made while we were gone. You should be able to navigate to any of our comms and see everything now.

We fumbled our domain for a bit and got it back, but had federation turned off for a little while to make sure the situation was over. If we didn't get it back, we were gonna swap to a different domain, but thats no longer needed.

It is predictable that if you're a worldwide bully (the US) you will try to establish a military presence, through alliances, on the border of your 'enemy'.

It is predictable that the country you are trying to surround (Russia) with those military bases/allies will try to prevent it.

Anyone with the US on their doorstep is in a significantly disadvantaged position to defend themselves from the US' bullshit.

The US baited Ukraine with false promises of joining NATO to provoke Russia into retaliation, kill as many Russians as possible without sparing a single US soldier, and discouraged peace talks at any opportunity to keep the war going.

Now that Ukraine has outlived its usefulness, the US has stopped stringing them along and doesn't care anymore. This was starting under Biden and was finalized by Trump.

All the 'Slava ukraini' people are cheering on is the continuation of a proxy war that has seen the desolation of Ukraine's economy and population.

Russia going home and letting the US enact their original plan is a fantasy. So do you want the death of every Ukranian before it ends?

If someone thinks pointing all this out is somehow "pro-Russia" instead of just focusing on actual motivations for these actions, then they've shut off the critical thinking center of their brain.

Everyone on Hexbear knows and says modern Russia is an oligarchic shit hole similar to the US and would cheer it's downfall in the same way. Except that it's downfall would allow the US to expand and cause even more harm to the rest of the world it exploits.

The best thing about private trackers is the request feature. Contrary to what people who aren't on them say, they aren't content hoarders. The userbase on most of them is smaller and has dedicated uploaders who upload 100s or 1000s of items. If you put in a request for an Ebook for example, someone will either buy it, rip it from some online service, or scour the depths of the internet in places you wouldn't even think to look to get it for you. I've personally scanned books from my library for people where there were no digital copies available because private trackers have a culture of reciprocity that public ones don't (beyond seeding, which is the bare minimum someone can do).

The Bazzite devs all use and suggest Lutris themselves for anything that isn't Epic, and none of them use Bottles. I have no opinion and also use Lutris, but if OP wants help from them officially, that's gonna be their suggestion.

I've used Bazzite for the last year or so after distrohopping for a while and landing on Arch. I learned how 'atomic' distros, as the Fedora folks call them, work. It sounded like my phone, where apps are relatively sandboxed and automatically update. I said 'this is how computers should work' and stuck to it.

I wouldn't use standard Silverblue/Kinoite or standard Fedora. The uBlue images include so many drivers and fixes on the image that make the primary distros look incompetently made if you're not a power user. They wouldn't like me saying that because their work is only possible because of what Fedora does. But by that I mean, you will eventually run into something that doesn't work and it always comes down to some licensing or scope issue that the developers simply don't care about.

Having to do literally anything extra to get your NVIDIA GPU drivers frankly isn't acceptable when that's not the case for AMD cards. Let alone having to modify grub in the worst case if your distro doesn't boot properly. If I have a part or plug something in that isn't some hyper specific piece of technology, it should just work, because it isn't 1999 where you need driver CDs anymore.

The main tradeoff is that for users who aren't very technical, installing anything outside of flatpaks probably won't make any sense. They have guides, and stuff like brew and distrobox isn't that difficult when you understand it. But having 4 different ways to install stuff (flatpak, brew, distrobox, layering) sounds ridiculous and confusing on its face.

I have a practically 0 maintenance system with Bazzite and that's the way I like it even though I'm perfectly capable of running anything else and modifying it to my liking. The average user isn't going to care about anything they're missing by not being able to modify certain files, or if they do, there's probably a better way to do whatever it is they're trying to do that doesn't involve running random bash scripts.

I would recommend Aurora and Bluefin to all my Windows/Mac friends who aren't gamers, and Bazzite or Bazzite-gnome to everyone who is. I would never recommend anything else at this point, not even something like Mint, because I consider the uBlue images to be just that good and the tradeoffs of the weird program installation to be more than worth it. Other immutable/atomic distros are too immature (like Arkane Linux) or work fundamentally differently to Fedora Atomic and rely more on things like snapshots (like OpenSUSE Aeon/Kalpa) so I'm not really comfortable recommending them either.

I don't really care to step into this back and forth as a whole, but Hitler wasn't vegan or vegetarian. He just liked dogs. That was a lie made up by Goebbels to make him seem more sympathetic and his private chefs admit to making meat for him regularly.

I'm not going to say it was full of entirely good takes all the time, but it did aggressively combat the kind of "we're carnivores lol" logic that is even being presented in this thread. Animal liberation is a significant blind spot for a lot of communists that they refuse to even investigate. The 'normal' vegans you're talking about are just quiet about it, which is why everyone likes them because they don't prompt anyone to investigate. I don't think its appropriate to relitigate that entire event, but if someone is comfortable congratulating someone for settling for "less bigotry" instead of "no bigotry", you'll find the difference between the type of person that posts on /r/vegan vs. VCJ.

The Hexbear vegan thing wasn't random. It was because Reddit started to crack down on /r/vegancirclejerk which, despite the name, was a place for vegans to discuss serious ethics amongst themselves (along with memes) instead of being constantly filled with "I'm not vegan but..." posting. Too many memes about those users made Reddit uncomfortable in the same way Chapo got banned for John Brown posting. They were also invited, because the circlejerk sub had a lot of crossover with other leftist subreddits and were looking for somewhere to migrate.

It wasn't some sort of invasion, just a result of Hexbear being exposed to a lot of serious vegan users making non-vegan users expand their definition of intersectionalism (admittedly with abrasive posting, in the same way HB is already abrasive) and those vegan users struggling to blend into a space that was now focused on more general interests. The most problematic users were dealt with.

I'm also a HB poster, but this was just on my front page. Just wanted to clarify because your post I think unintentionally plays into the "crazy vegan" stereotype that is all too prevalent all over the internet and makes it sound like they one day decided to take over a completely unrelated website.

Use Thunder. Its on Fdroid. Or you can grab it straight from Github with Obtanium.

"Uncommitted said that while the group would not endorse Harris, it continues to oppose a Donald Trump presidency and is not recommending a third-party vote in the presidential election for fear that it could inadvertently boost Trump’s advantage in the Electoral College. The group urged uncommitted voters to cast anti-Trump votes up and down the ballot. "

All I do in KDE is set it to Breeze Dark, set my taskbar to dock + autohide, and change media keybinds. There's tons of options but you don't really have to touch any of them. Default is fine.

I bought some GameStop when it was $10 but chickened out and sold it a few days before it went to like $420 a share cuz I thought I was being baited by wallstreetbetters. I only later found out a close friend of mine who is a generally responsible investor was heavily in that and sold at like $200~ to pay off all his medical debt. He's not rich either, but financially better off than before that happened.

I don't mess with stocks now.

Came to say this. Its basically indistinguishable except the numbers are smaller. Its why I stopped using my .ml account too because they spread. They are in your house now

The numbers get bigger every time.
