It’s the onus of GNOME maintainers to be civil but people can call GNOME the cancer of Linux and face no public repercussions.

“Contributions welcome!” will always be my favorite reply.

Watermelons are so nice, I wish I could have some right now.

Please, let’s not discuss the matter of why running nautilus with sudo – hold your knowledge on this particular matter for yourself because the issue here is more important. :)

I wish I had half the patience of the average GNOME desktop maintainer. It must be incredibly painful to deal with really smug and unhinged comments all the time.

[Rant. Feel free to skip] It’s July 2023. We have self-driving cars, we sent a car to the space and we now have ChatGPT, an AI almost able to write a novel for you. But in Linux you still can’t drag and drop a compressed file from Archive to a Nautilus window. Come on. This bug has been around for 4 f*cking years. Bill Gates must be rolling on the floor laughing while saying “Windows allows drag and drop since version 3.1”.

Another comment:

and what this tells me is that the efforts are being focused in other areas instead of basic user experience, which is something that - for a good reason (investment + high quality standards) - Apple still has the upper hand and we should learn a thing or two from them.

How to be hated by both reactionaries and leftists in one simple trick.

and

I did Nazi that happening.

instance, admins, moderators, or other users as Nazis or Zionists, without substantial supporting arguments.

“We are only zionazis if you convince us we are in the free marketplace of ideas.”

Tbh shit like this is why hexbear is the literal only space online I feel the least bit comfortable speaking in (and probably lemmygrad as well).

now slippin wmill I can handle just fine but slippin wmill with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun. :chuck-butthurt:

Soyuz 38

There’s your reason. I’m like 99% percent sure that there’s a filter in place for controversial topics like “the soviet union” and “communism” just like how it always was before generative llms.

you’re slippin wmill.

“Israel [sic]…”

What no dialectical materialism does to a mf.

Tbh the whole online subculture of “RoK society is going to collapse” is really annoying to me. Nearly all of them are devoid of any class analysis and just serve to manufacture consent for a hot war against the DPRK.

The kuzyogurt (im not going to spell that right) video on South Korea’s birthrate is probably the most subtle way I’ve seen of slowly preparing people to accept RoK’s collapse into a fascist military state from a neoliberal capitalist one. Zero solutions presented just “hey we are going to die.”

In other words: westerners should shut up about Korea.

If you downloaded it in 2023 then it’s likely a really old version of Linux mint, I’d advise dowloading the latest release from their site and reflashing.

incredibly jealous.

Imagine being a losing contestant, getting your million american airline points, and then getting deported to el salvador anyway when you try to use them.

USAmerican culture is vacation, starbucks and cars.

they’re the people who push tankie, ccp bad rhetoric in your left spaces.

“The Department of Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year,” she said in a statement. “Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.”

Ah yes, homeland security involves reviewing slop television pitches.

The losing contestants will go home with “iconically American” prizes, including a million American Airlines points, a $10,000 Starbucks gift card, and a lifetime supply of 76 gasoline. They will also have a leg up as they undergo the traditional citizenship process.

The big winner, meanwhile, will get sworn in as an American citizen on Capitol Hill by “a top American politician or judge.”

edit:

But the Homeland Security secretary has remained unfazed by the criticism: “Every day I wake up and there’s new criticisms,” she told Fox News last month. “It’s something different every single day, so I try not to pay attention to the noise.”

there has not been a more fun time to use linux than today (and every day after today).

The caveat are games that require kernel level rootkits for their “anticheat” functionality. These are usually massive multiplayer games that have some emphasis on microtransactions and in-game gambling (think your league of legends and apex legends/fortnite).

Decades spent on the puter

chances are you’ve already benefited from collectively owned software and haven’t even realized it (silicon valley loves piggy backing open source)! Using a libre operating system just means taking onus of that fact and using it for your own ends from top to bottom. Really it’s just a gateway to being being even cooler.

windows in a virtual machine to play some games?

While this is possible. Chances are that most of your games are already playable through Valve’s efforts with proton. You can use apps like bottles to run them or just use Valve’s Steam client itself. Linux is nowhere near the state it was in only half a decade ago.

I can tell you from experience that I have been able to play modded fallout new vegas on Linux with mod organizer 2, so you just need to give it a shot. Protondb is a community database for games and there are always people willing to share their experiences on getting it to work with linux.

How about for emulators like duckstation and pcsx2?

Both are supported nearly on every Linux distribution. If you install Linux Mint, it’s as easy as going to the software center and downloading them from there.
