  • Why isn't there a Windows community? Is Linux winning?

    Jump

  • I'm saying Linux has a community that likes to talk about tweaking their systems, trying new things, discussing software, discussing distros, etc; Windows does not have users that do that for various reasons. It's not shade on Linux at all, but to say that they don't have a community talking about something as mundane as an OS is probably fine for them. I am glad we have the community and user engagement we have surrounding Linux.

  • I mean, that's kind of good for them. Not having a creative community that has content to post about means they are just using the OS. The OS is out of the way. I'm guessing the level of comments that Linux gets are more likely to happen on niche forums like powershell or autohotkey or whatever. I dunno, I love my Linux, but do wish it were a little more normal and boring sometimes.

  • Wait til they release their paper on water. You'll be shocked.

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • I'm liking it, but there is a lot of work left to do there. I joined today and replicated the small server I run for video game nights with my friends. That part all worked; channels, roles, voice. but the application layer seems to need the most attention. iOS is not there yet and Android needs notification integration. The desktop client has a memory leak. I hope it gets there, but it will be a tough sell to normie friends who can't handle rough edges. The self hosted version is also behind on the release so it takes some effort to get working (looking to do this but I don't know if I have the chops to make it work as is)

    The bones are there though and hope they get an influx of help given the writing on the wall about Discords imminent continued enshittification.

    I don't judge people who go through the world and bungle things up a bit. I save that for people who don't even try.

  • After Years of Waiting Jellyfin Finally Lands on Samsung Tizen TVs

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've had to help two friends connect to my server from Samsung TVs. It was annoying to say the least.

  • Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.

  • +1 for Octopi launcher. Very nice.

  • I would like to go to there

    Jump

  • Yeah, the bummer is that you can pay that much for appliances, but you are paying for extra features, NOT for extra durability and repairability. They simply don't make them like that anymore.

  • Likewise, if a man is kind to a woman he'll generally be regarded with suspicion, like "what are you trying to get out of this?"

    Maybe it is just me, but I don't think I've been viewed with suspicion because of simply being nice. If you're sincere and nice, then this typically doesn't happen. If you're known as kind of a dick and you switch to being nice, people will take notice. If you're being seen as love-bombing, you will be seen as suspect. While I agree men should not be typecast as only sex driven, I'm curious how this part of your argument came into it...

  • who's gonna tell him?

  • I think he destroyed his mind with drugs, TBH. I think he was different to some degree back then. Still was an asshole, but not this asshole.

  • Nearly a third of Canadians believe U.S. may try to invade Canada: poll

    Jump

  • Are we in a better position to prevent government from doing horrible things? I'm honestly at a loss for what meaningful action the populace should be taking. We've been protesting. Largest single-day mass protests in country history during this term.

    We've impeached this president (twice) and each time nothing happened because the elected senate blocked removal.

    We do NOT have a strong history of general strikes, we simply don't know how to do it since it has not been done here.

    Our populace is not well positioned to fix this except hope that the midterms happen and aren't sufficiently fucked that we sweep democrats back into power and put a check back on the system.

  • Militaries are only as strong as the country's will to continue to fight. The US had great social upheaval for a relatively low casualty war in Vietnam (<60k dead in 8 yr). Compare the casualty rates from Vietnam with what Russia is experiencing in Ukraine (180-480k deaths in 3 yr).

    I remember listening to Dan Carlin talk about how wars are typically won by the side that doesn't know when to give up. Early Rome was this way. 1941 USSR was this way. 2026 USA is NOT going to win a drawn out, existential war. We would kill a lot of people, sure, thanks to all the weapons and guns but we don't think we have what it takes to win a major power war anymore.

  • Am American. We (the broad majority) don't want Canada. or Greenland. or Venezuela. Any of this fascist shit. I'm so fucking sick of this. I want to go back to politics being boring-ish and about deciding what taxes will and won't pay for and having actual friends whom we aren't actively bullying. I wish this scenario were laughable, but it's not.

  • Nginx Proxy Manager 2.13.6 Released With Built-In Two-Factor Authentication

  • Well this is great. NPM is often the most exposed element of a homelab (even if the management portal itself typically isn't), it's a critical security element that an attacker would be able to do all sorts of bad things with access to it.

  • I have the feeling that this is where we are (and have been) regarding politics and national borders with the current population levels. Local politics has slowly, over the course of centuries, been losing to national/federal politics. I feel like democracy works best when it's in the sweet spot for not being too big (where good ideas are easily drown out) and not being too small (not being able to effectualize good ideas on a scale that matters).

    I sometimes think the world would be better served if we went back to a nation-state size that promoted regional powers instead of global superpowers. I don't know it would necessarily always be better because eras of recent history where there is no clear dominant regional power, you tend to get more wars. :/

  • "I don't want Politics in my Gaming!"

    Jump

  • I wasn't talking about AI slop. With "slop," I meant mindless games that don't take any position on anything.

    IMHO, the best games are ones that make you feel something or question something critically. You can have games that make a political statement and are fun to play. Helldivers, GTA, BioShock, Disco Elysium, etc. If you're uncomfortable with the point that a game is making, then that's on you (and is the point of OPs comic).

    There are certainly plenty of games that take no political stance on anything that I'm sure you can numb your mind with. Just play something else if you are feeling too judged.

  • If you want mindless slop, then play it. It certainly exists. Real art and proper storytelling makes you feel things and reflects the the world we live in.
