  • Remove the French language pack. Thank me later.

    Jump

  • Although I'm French, I still laugh at the stupid memes by the English speaking internet that make fun of my people. Then again, there is a sense of justice in imagining people falling for this. 😁

  • Quick Question for which one to pick

  • Then again, the archlinux wiki and forums are the best places to get every kind of help a linux user might need. And this is true for every distribution, to some extent.

  • Sounds crazy till ya try it

  • Make me remember to gift you a catheter bag for Christmas. You'll see how great it is: a straw and diaper all in one!

  • Removed

    Sounds like a threat

  • I prefer the French Left take on the idea. They did a campaign awhile back titled: "The fascists are voting, are you?" With a big portrait of the most well-known far right politician in the country. In the end they had to pay a 3000€ fine but I'd say it was worth it.

  • Any day now.

  • Foreigner here. Don't you guys have a green party?

  • Which one is you?

    Jump

  • I feel mildly insulted. I use arch btw.

  • hey, did you know that the ocean would emit sulfur at 5C warming?

  • I'm already known as the stubborn environmentalist in my friend circle. I'm doing my part!

  • I think it's a pretty universal trend as well, at least in developed countries. I think I remember hearing it's the same trend in Germany, which is a country with a historicaly strong car culture like the US. But I don't have a study to back that up.

  • “Communism doesn’t work”

    Jump

  • Oh boy I'm no social democrat. A radical socialist if you prefer. You can have radical ideas like ending capitalism or taxing inheritance to 100% while still being for democracy and not being a revolutionary.

  • “Communism doesn’t work”

    Jump

  • I consider myself a socialist/leftist and my primary concern right now is not to dominate the bourgeoisie. It's mainly to get them to stop tax evasion so we can fund our public schools and hospitals. And if they could stop voting for candidates who are in coalition with the far right that'd be nice too!

  • “Communism doesn’t work”

    Jump

  • Well I'd say communism is a type of socialism, where the latter is the ideal to strive for a better society for everyone, to intervene to help those who cannot help themselves. Communism tries to achieve this goal by making the means of production into communal ownership. With the State enforcing strict wealth equality. But it's still socialism with economic inequality at the beginning but fair and strong wealth redistribution in the end: equity.

  • “Communism doesn’t work”

    Jump

  • I'd even replace communism with socialism. Since it's also vilified in the US, but it's a broader term which is, to me, more relevant nowadays.

  • Respecte mon genre !

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

    Jump

  • Yeah I know, like sbin isn't used in most modern distros, right?

  • I bean meme for the ladies

    Jump

  • It might be extra funny because I saw this at the bar.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

    Jump

  • Thank you for that, I always wondered about the meaning behind a few of these directories.

  • Hey late-stage capitruleism, how's it going? Oh cool even worse then

    Jump

  • They use every loophole legally available to them (you know what I mean, the button "I agree to sell my soul" being a hundred times bigger than the link to "I'd like to review your data collection and say which analytics service I adhere to"). But I haven't seen a website where they threaten compulsory personalized ads if you don't pay. It's generally "pay or you get cookies". But I tought those weren't third party cookies, just in-site ones.

  • Hey late-stage capitruleism, how's it going? Oh cool even worse then

    Jump

  • Good thing this was forbidden in the EU a few years back. As a user, you can't refuse "necessary cookies" but those from third parties you can (e.g. Google analytics). Imposing personalized ads if you don't pay is definitely forbidden in the EU I'd say

  • How do you use Wine/Proton?

    Jump

  • Don't you worry about it, wine has been around since the 90s. So many desktop apps you like on windows will be really functional, and you can see their individual compatibility ratings on https://appdb.winehq.org/ For games, it's another mater. But most of the time it's fine wether it be on steam proton or wine-ge. Try it for a few weeks and you'll find yourself happy, but still harassing devs for a native Linux release :)
