@skg Slovenia rules!

@BroBot9000 Thx, corrected.

@MITM0 Not yet! We still need a safety buffer.

@loam Finally! Thanks. :D

@inyanblood Try ten.

MOAR!!!

@skg

@duckz A two-bit “influencer” in opposition of this initiative.

@skg

@vrojak if I were Ubisoft or Blizzard, I’d legit be shitting my pants just about now.

@Natanox Seems like NixOS replaced Arch as both a local extremist cult and the most effective newbie repellent.

@arsCynic see also: there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism.

@CaptainBasculin

@arsCynic Newsflash: any currency under the Sun works like that. And stocks. And options. And any other form of speculative wealth.

And most of wealth on Earth is just that - speculative. The gold standard was abolished long time ago, and, some might say it’s for the better. Look it up.

Yeah, that paper in your pocket isn’t based on anything tangible. It’s just paper we agree is valuable. It’s not real in the same way a knife is.

Crypto is just a little bit more open about it. It’s just lines of math we agree are valuable.

And scams have existed in traditional currencies long before cryptocurrency. Same as currency trading, aka “encouraging you to buy more if it”.

So, if you want to hate on anything, hate on a concept of currency and speculative wealth in general. Cryptocurrency is just the latest form of it.

And, frankly, it’s just useful for avoiding unfair shit like international sanctions aka some fat cats deciding to bar me from donating or receiving funds

> It can cause dimensia

I’m sorry, what the fuck? And what is “dimensia”? Does it have anything to do with spacetime dimensions?

@Nikls94

@AnonomousWolf
> gay men earn more than straight men

Who told you that?

@Kurtagag

@Dogiedog64 Yeah. There was a time when Nvidia did their damnedest to make Nouveau developers’ life a living hell.

@Natanox

@Montagge As unpleasant it is to admit, shitty people that exist on this planet, are people too, and they also use computers. The year of Linux desktop must logically mean that it’s used by everyone, regardless how much of a piece of shit they are. Being so uncompromising and adolescently idealistic about it doesn’t do us much of a favour in terms of adoption.

On the other hand, a piece of shit with an audience might prove useful.

@JustAnotherKay

@merari42 using flatpak Steam with the library on a non-home drive.

This sucks.

@bpt11 Soda and beer cans. There’s always a little bit left.

@loonycyborg Irrelevant to this conversation.

@_carmin @disguy_ovahea

@disguy_ovahea we don’t really share a kernel, but we do share the lineage, so yeah, we are cousins. I hate Mac OS far less than I do Windows. My pet peeve about it is largely political, not technical.

@_carmin

@shuro Popularity is not a function of quality is the point here.

Also “competition and coexistance” is an honor system. It only works as long as everybody agrees to play nicely. Which is hardly the case here.

@Honytawk Billions of flies can’t be just wrong, can they.
