  • What's the best way for me to donate to FOSS projects?

    Jump

  • Yeah, just check out the website or GitHub of your favorite distro, desktop environment, or application, almost all of them will have donation options. I’ve given to EndeavourOS a couple times. Feels good.

  • Lately, my Windows 10 hard drive is being used up for no reason whatsoever - I'm pretty sure it was Windows Update that's causing it. What should I do?

    Jump

  • Install Linux.

  • I spilled the beans on playing D&D and other Tabletops to a new work crew and it didn't go well.

  • I’m also a nerd that works in a highly knuckle dragging uber masculine work environment. I keep my walls up pretty high and only really be myself around the few people I meet that pass the vibe check. So I get it man. There are a lot of callous dickheads out there. It’s harder to not be like them, but oh so worth it.

  • You sound like a really good dude. Emotionally mature. Don’t let the bastards keep you down.

  • Exactly. This kind of shit undermines legitimate criticism and hurts us all.

  • I have a loooooot of hours into it, over the years and it’s amazing.

    The dev is just one dude, who’s constantly working on it and dropping new content. It’s not monitized. It runs on Linux, in addition to mobile platforms and assumingely windows and Mac as well.

  • Are You Emotionally Prepared To Die?

    Jump

  • Exactly. If I’m dead, it’s not my problem anymore.

  • (cant find the aita community) am i a bad person for saying "women" instead of "people who can get pregnant"?

    Jump

  • There’s definitely middle ground to be found, and decency to exercise.

  • Lefty here. I have a queer wife who identifies as non-binary but still identifies as my wife, as well as plenty of trans and queer people in my social circles, and I don’t see the need to word police myself over completely innocent phrases. I don’t think you’re harming anyone by just saying women, when the men or nonbinary people who can get pregnant constitute like a tenth of a percentage of the population.

    I go out of my way to make sure the not-straight people in my life feel safe and comfortable around me, but there’s a certain level of pearl clutching over language that I don’t feel the need to engage with. You aren’t being hateful, you’re treating people like human beings, and you get to decide for yourself how you speak.

  • Is AsteroidOS usable? Should I get an old smartwatch and install it?

    Jump

  • I’m into other forms of retro electronics and I must warn you. It sounds like you’re veering into hobby territory.

    You found this thing. It might be neat. But let’s say you pick it up and find that the batter doesn’t hold a charge very long. Do you buy another one, or do you invest in new tools for tiny electronics, maybe some jewelers style magnification and lighting, and invest time into learning how to service this device, building skills and knowledge from the experience.

    To me this sounds great, assuming you can afford a hobby, or find ways to make the hobby affordable. What other interesting directions could the new skills and tools take you in?

  • all my homies hate eco-fascists

    Jump

  • No. I oppose authoritarianism in all its flavors.

    I also don’t think our species will ever willingly do “degrowth”

    I think the collapse of modern civilization is an inevitability, and that there will never be any positive, organized way to guide that collapse to any worthwhile positive outcome. Will it come in my lifetime or yours? Probably not. But it will come.

    The only wildcard I see that could change this would be fusion energy, actual self sustaining fusion that generates unlimited energy, or the discovery of some other exotic form of matter that can provide unlimited energy. Barring those highly unlikely developments, I think any form of eco-authoritarianism would just be a way for those in power to continue enriching themselves at the cost of everyone else, a more extreme form of what is already happening.

  • This is all good stuff.

    Now, go out into the corners of the internet and ask the question “how many barrels of oil does it take to build a single wind turbine”. Then do nuclear power plants. How about just one tire?

    You’d be pretty shocked to find that the only thing that has supported the meteoric rise of our population has been plentiful and cheap petroleum. Renewables can slow things down in the short term, and they certainly make people feel better about themselves, but there is no replacement for oil. All of the renewables are made of oil. Shit loads of it.

  • I couldn’t be more critical of the maga movement and the vacant gullibility of its adherents, but I’ve seen plenty of mid wits on the left fall for and parrot shit like this and others equally idiotic. I don’t have much faith in anyone at this point. We are confused apes.

  • So if we all got to divvy up the wealth of the billionaires equally, and suddenly all of us had a moderate but sustaining amount of wealth, we’d give up on cars? Electricity? Beef? Because having those things, as I like to say, your “hot showers and cold ice cream” is what is destroying this world’s habitability. It’s not just the billionaires but our demand for the shit they sell us, regardless of the economic paradigm that delivers it.

    Let’s say the first world standard of living downgraded just a bit, and the third world standard of living was elevated to first world standards overnight, do you think our demands of the planets resources would diminish? I don’t think it would. It would explode, as people who have lived on very little would want to eat as well as we have all these years. As the world wants more beef, the rainforest gets the axe so ranchers can graze their cattle on its ashes. Apply this to literally every other consumer good and municipal service.

    I want to see the billionaire robber barons dethroned as bad as you do, but it won’t fix the underlying problem of civilization.

  • I was around someone with this same hot take, who called Sir David Attenborough an Eco-fascist for acknowledging that the endless destruction of wild habitat at the hands of humans expanding their own habitats and resource extraction, was responsible for the beginnings of a mass extinction event for wildlife.

    I’ll say it loud and proud. Industrialism is not natural. Industrialism is the only way we can support a population of 8 billion humans, the only thing that allowed them to exist in the first place. Industrialism is inherently destructive and exploitative.

    Tankie dweebs seem to think that if we just give everyone an equal cut, that we would suddenly have a utopia, that we would somehow bring back the massive swaths of insect populations we’ve decimated, that we could magically make degraded land arable again. Nah.

    Industrial civilization isn’t infinite. It has a start and an end. When it ends, so will most of us. Recognizing this doesn’t make one an “eco fascist”

    What makes someone an eco fascist is if they want to genocide populations they deem undesirable for ecological purposes. Pretty simple.

  • Lets speculate about the steam controllers price

    Jump

  • Yes, because I also have a desktop PC, not to mention a dock for my Steam deck. Sure, I could keep using my old Xbox controller on the PC, but the Steam controller creates perfect continuity between my deck, pc, and deck docked.

  • Epstein Release. Uh.. guys?

    Jump

  • I don’t disagree that this shit needs to be addressed, but you do realize that anyone can call the FBI and make claims, and those claims do have to be recorded. Sure, these claims seem on brand, but they are just that. Unsubstantiated claims.

    So like, yes, fuck the pedo elite, but don’t start feeling too vindicated when you see something like this, that has no evidentiary weight to it that we know of.
