  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

  • I’m cozy on Cachy these days, but I always recommend the same two distros to new users.

    Do you want to play games or are you not very technical? Bazzite.

    Are you a Windows or Mac power user? Fedora KDE.

    For any other situation, try Bazzite first and switch to Fedora KDE if Bazzite feels too restrictive.

    When you start feeling comfortable with those, put Ventoy on a thumb drive and experiment.

  • If Mint would just treat KDE as first class like it used to, I would be inclined to recommend it more often. Not as often as Fedora KDE — which has always seemed to have the best hardware support of all major distros — but at least I wouldn’t feel the need to fight people for recommending Mint to new users. Blindly recommending something as clunky and outdated as Mint and Cinnamon to new Windows expats is a great way to earn Linux a bad reputation just as things are looking up.

  • There are many correct distro choices (except Ubuntu), but the only correct desktop environment is KDE Plasma.

    If Cosmic keeps evolving, it could win me over.

  • Many of these issues are why I steer new users toward Fedora KDE or Bazzite instead.

  • Xi Jinping vows to reunify China and Taiwan in New Year’s Eve speech

    Jump

  • Yes, it is imperialism. Also, China has an authoritarian state controlled by a privileged ruling class and is therefore far-right.

  • Nuts make brownies so much worse

    Jump

  • Yes, yes, one thousand times yes! I understand sometimes putting nuts on top of something, but when they are mixed in to a brownie or cake or bread they ruin the texture. People who mix nuts into their baking are sociopaths.

  • US in new push to force chlorinated chicken on UK

  • “How is a chicken like a swimming pool?” asked the Hatter.

    Alice thought for only a moment. “The American poultry industry!” she declared.

  • Sounds interesting

  • It is, however, a hilariously ironic notion that atheism fails where Christianity succeeds: being appropriated by the far-right to spread bigotry and fascism.

    I would argue that it’s not funny or ironic. The right is defined by their pursuit of consolidating power and authority at all costs. Anything and everything is a resource to exploited toward advancing their selfish misanthropic ends. They will appropriate anything and vilify what they can’t successfully appropriate. This isn’t irony, it’s a core tenet of rightism.

  • How do people actually fall into the "Tankie" mindset?

    Jump

  • No it’s not. I would also consider myself an ideological Marxist, but I am no tankie.

    A tankie is someone who claims to value leftist ends of any kind (including Marxism-Leninism) but supports or defends authoritarianism, classism, stratification, or any of the inequitable historical socio-economic paradigms. Vanguardism is not meant to be perpetual, it is a means borne of desperation with the aim of a fundamentally opposite ends. It is not the ends itself, as it is a form of extreme rightism, but one specifically meant to be transient.

  • How do people actually fall into the "Tankie" mindset?

    Jump

  • There is no one answer. Dr. Bob Altemeyer‘s book “The Authoritarians” sheds some light on the psychology.

    Regardless of what you think about vanguardism as a means to leftist ends, they also seem to miss the logical point that vanguardism and the state are meant to wither away. It is a theoretical rightist means to a leftist ends, it is not itself leftist.

    But again, if you read The Authoritarians you find that logic and reason do not matter to them. Trying to reason with an authoritarian is pointless.

  • Beyoncé is now the fifth billionaire musician, Forbes reports

    Jump

  • Fuck. She’s on the Menu, now. God dammit.

    There are no good billionaires.

  • We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human

    Jump

  • The poor user experience is intentional. Compare FireTV to AppleTV. Everything about FireTV is carefully designed to coerce you into spending money. Easy access to the content you already have doesn’t make money, so the UX serves Amazon, not you. Apple does it, too, but with a more subtlety.

  • Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

    Jump

  • Star Citizen works well on Linux via a community-maintained tool called LUG. Getting other fancy peripherals like head tracking requires some creative use of a Windows VM, because those peripheral makers don’t support Linux. If Squadron 42 ever actually materializes, then the community will have it covered.
