  • What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?

  • You might recognise a soyjak if you see one, even if you wouldn't know the name of them. It was based off another meme (wojaks) and took off alongside the COVID-era conspiracy theories. It's actually interesting that you can notice how the early ones just had a couple of nerdy traits, like a Nintendo Switch, some glasses, and some facial hair, but as it became less of a meme and more of a propaganda technique, they had to become uglier and uglier to clarify that they represented the "wrong opinion"

  • For me it's the term "that's what's wrong with society" and variations of it. There are a LOT of things wrong with society, and different countries, cities and regions have totally different problems. If you boil all these problems down to one thing, it's probably because you're obsessed with that one thing, not because it's actually caused all these other problems.

  • I view it as the right wing equivalent of a soyjak. A derogatory name (and drawing) for someone who's terminally online and politically obsessed.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • The Don't Hug Me I'm Scared TV show!

  • Anyone can recommend some good European Indie Devs / Games?

    Jump

  • Casette Beasts, a Creature collecting (pokemon like) game, is by a UK studio, and Yooka Replaylee which is also British only released last year and I still think it's the most slept-on game of 2025!

  • Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally

    So in other words, if you only use Discord as a messaging app and for small servers between friends, this won't affect you?

    I honestly have no idea why Discord started trying to push itself as some normal social media like Facebook, and why people started treating it as such. Discord was a glorified telephone line with gifs and web links. I don't need some manufactured sense of "community" among thousands of people who happen to watch the same YouTuber as me.

  • Your friends are still acting like everything is normal in America. What do you do? All Americans live in a “dual state.” Here’s what that means — and how to help others see it.

  • I got banned from one of their communities for criticising the Chinese government. Yeah, I feel like all big .ml communities should be blocked as an indivisible part of the process of setting up a Lemmy account.

  • Finding some good PeerTube

    Jump

  • My favourite instance is peertube.wtf. As far as I can tell, it's the most federated instance, so you can get to the most other Peertube content from it! Also it's just funny that "wtf" is its URL! For channels, I like Triple Iris , Vex0r, and Slope's Game Room

  • current PeerTube can't compete with YouTube

    Jump

  • Honestly I'd love to set up a big "default" instance myself, but as soon as you become a big advert for everyone else to set up their channel on your instance, server costs will go through the roof. I'm in England and Peertube.wtf generally works better for me, but even then it seems to randomly crash and reload on longer videos like stream VODs, so maybe it is a geography thing.

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • Yeah pretty much

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • Last I heard, Trump's own actions were tanking the popularity of his European equivalents across the board. Reform UK for example peaked in the polls about a year ago, and have been dropping ever since.

  • Starmer pulls Chagos bill after Trump backlash

    Jump

  • Yeah lol. That and wanting to lash out because he's mad Europe called him out on his Greenland threat

  • App for boycotting US products tops Danish charts after Trump’s Greenland threats

    Jump

  • And when the European finally closed his YouTube account, he wept, for there were no more US products left to boycott

  • Is peertube.wtf down?

    Jump

  • Update: It's fully back up again thanks to those who checked, and thanks to the admin if they read this!

  • Starmer pulls Chagos bill after Trump backlash

    Jump

  • The Chagos deal was going to be Starmer's favour to Trump. The UK was going to pay to keep using it, just to host the US base there. It was essentially another conservative mess for Labour to clean up, and another example of Trump having a strop about something that he had previously been in favour of. I say go ahead and pull it: this is the perfect opportunity to have another bill and keep the US out of this one.

  • OK it's kind of back up, although really slow and most of the UI doesn't work. I suppose it's just low on server space or something now

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • I migrated to Ubuntu from Windows 10 when it became end-of-life last year. I had a major head start beforehand because my work allowed me to dabble in Linux for a good 2 years beforehand, though! It's been great! Pretty much everything that you "can't do" on Windows has some sort of open source alternative. Can't have Microsoft Office on Linux? Download Libreoffice for free! Can't have Adobe Creative Cloud? Just download Krita and Kdenlive for free! Can't have Microsoft Edge? What on earth do you want it for?? You don't really need to use the terminal for most things, but it can make a lot of things much easier and quicker if/when you do get your head round it.

    The only notable weak point is a few specific online videogames. Valve Anti Cheat really doesn't play well with Linux (which is really dumb because Valve are so well known for supporting Linux). I've managed to get Left 4 Dead 2 playing online using "Steam Runtime 1.0 (scout)" but I haven't found anything that works for Team Fortress 2. That being said, most other online games like Bloons TD6 and Worms WMD work perfectly natively, 90% of games released last year were natively Linux compatible, and the CEO of GOG said they'd like to support Linux more too, so even this is an improving situation!
