    Shalom Yaacov Trump!

  • Doesn't America already have Russia as a neighbour?

    Greenland is 2000km away. Russia's 50km away across the Bering Straight.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • With games, they're are various categories like:

    1. Demos I want to play
    2. Demos I've played and my opinion on them
    3. Demos that I might want to play, but I haven't decided yet.
    4. Games that aren't worth putting on my Wishlist, but that I'm not prepared to discard entirely.
    5. Games from my wishlist that I'm unsure if I actually want to play and that I need to sort.
    6. Games that I haven't wishlisted but might want to.
    7. Everything to do with itch.io because their launcher and storefront is garbage.

    In terms of manga, I use a database site but there are limitations.

    1. There are some I've read one chapter of and saved for later, some I've read nothing of but want to read, and some I'm reading but put on pause because of the release schedule.
    2. When it's time to start a new manga, I normally pick out more than one. When that happens I bookmark the list and go back to it after I finished the previous one.
    3. There are manga from before I started using a manga database and haven't sorted.
    4. There are manga that I've marked as "want to read" but for various reasons am reconsidering.
    5. There are oneshots I've read on Reddit and saved.

    As for why I don't self-host, I don't really want to buy more disk space in this economy. Also (and more importantly) a collection of pirated manga is far harder to backup than just a database. In terms of preservation, I have so much new stuff to read that I'm not too fussed if something goes away.

  • If you are boycotting "America", does that include "American culture"?

    Jump

  • I generally try to avoid American, but I'm not so strict about it that I check the origin on the games I play (most of the time you can't find that out anyway). I also buy them on Steam anyway, because Linux support.

    I've already swapped out basically everything American of mine, but as time goes on I've been thinking of narrowing my target. The companies I'm mainly focussed on are below:

    • Amazon
    • Tesla
    • Microsoft
    • Apple
    • Google
    • Facebook
    • Netflix
    • Disney
    • Boeing
    • The gun companies
    • The car companies
    • The computer chip companies
    • Visa/Mastercard (if that were possible)
    • The banks (if they even exist in your country)
    • Exxon/Chevron (I'm dubious on promoting a local community oil industry though)

    I still use American streaming services (currently Amazon Prime) but I do the thing where you subscribe for 1 month and then unsubscribe for 2 years.

    The reason I'm boycotting is to undermine America's power. I don't think boycotting indie games made in America does that. It would weaken their currency but the effects are marginal. The real impact comes from buying alternatives until they get to a point where they can compete, and in the arts America already has that competition.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • I have my bookmarks in folders and subfolders, so I can find them when I need to.

    In terms of what my bookmarks are:

    • 2300 Video game bookmarks
    • 800 Manga bookmarks
    • 600 Music bookmarks
    • 750 YouTube videos to watch
    • 250 YouTube videos saved because they were good
    • 150 News articles and blog posts to read
    • 120 Books, movies, and TV series
    • 100 Various privacy services I need to switch to
    • 600 Old bookmarks that I moved into a folder instead of deleting

    The core theme here is that I refuse to use built-in tracking mechanisms. I don't want vendor lock-in so I use bookmarks instead to manage them (which Qobuz makes very difficult).

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • I tried it. If I remember correctly it had no bookmarks, no dark mode, no adblock. Those three features are essential for me in a browser. Especially bookmarks, I have 6500 bookmarks.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • I donate $50 a year to KDE and GrapheneOS each.

    Gonna donate $50 a year to Libreoffice and maybe CachyOS starting June.

    Gonna donate the same to the Servo browser if it becomes even remotely usable.

    Used to donate to Mint but stopped because I don't use Mint anymore.

  • Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?

    Jump

  • There's already Trinity.

    Don't know what their stance is on Wayland but it exists.

  • Shitposting until the end of the world I guess?

    Jump

  • I still need to make my bingo card.

  • Mom with the real questions

    Jump

  • I'll take it to use as a computer desk.

  • The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.

    Jump

  • That way you won't miss too. I get why men pee standing up, but I still don't understand why women do it standing up.

  • Elon Musk indicates he’s ‘going all in’ on financing the GOP ahead of the midterms: ‘America is toast if the radical left wins’

    Jump

  • Where is this radical left and how can I get some?

  • KDE themes are scripts. A coding mistake in one resulted in someone's file system being erased, it would be quite easy to distribute malware via that method.

  • At this point it's pretty clear America will support Israel regardless of what we say or do. Does free speech even matter anymore?

  • Reminder: System76 is not to be trusted

    Jump

  • There are plenty of reasons why themes are bad. They're a security risk when downloaded from the internet, they're often not updated alongside the desktop environment causing bugs, and maintaining support for themes is difficult.

    But what GNOME does is eliminate choice, not themes.

  • What Are Your Predictions For 2026

    Jump

  • The Australian government will do nothing of note, because the scapegoating of the prime minister by the press wasted all of the government's political capital that they were saving up for some big swings.

    Combustion engine cars become basically irrelevant outside of the US, Canada, and EU. Because if a country doesn't have a domestic car industry then cheap Chinese ev's are just better. In Australia you can see quite a lot of them.

    For a big swing, I'm going with Trump dying. He's pretty old, does not live a very healthy lifestyle, and he's got some pretty rabid followers. I'll hedge my bets and say Trump or Musk.

  • What Are Your Predictions For 2026

    Jump

  • Climate change worsening is a given.

    I'm going to predict that the forecasted warming goes down thanks to Chinese production (like every year).

  • Users who don't have a profile picture set, Why?

    Jump

  • There are profile pictures?

  • I could use a little advice on upgrading my machine without spending too much money

  • The RAMpocalypse is going to only get worse by the sounds of it.

  • Oh no, not RAM.
