Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Thanks! That first link is an excellent resource for a security tool I'm working on. Specifically, gVisor, which I hadn't heard of, but looks like an excellent way to harden containers.

    I may rebase to secureblue from Bluefin at some point to give it a try.

  • The 6 Linux distros I recommend most for gaming in 2025 - including my favorite

    Jump

  • Sure. In the same way that ChromeOS and Android are Linux. There are no important distinctions to be made at all. Everything that works on one of them, will work on all of them because they're just Linux.

    /s, because that is obviously not true.

  • The 6 Linux distros I recommend most for gaming in 2025 - including my favorite

    Jump

  • Based on Arch is different from is Arch. Ubuntu isn't Debian. ChromeOS isn't Gentoo. They are different things. Don't oversimplify things to the point of absurdity.

  • The 6 Linux distros I recommend most for gaming in 2025 - including my favorite

    Jump

  • I'm inclined to agree about the performance optimizations between various distros being negligible, but there might still be room for more distros to optimize for compatibility.

    The following is highly anecdotal and vibes-based. Please don't take my vague examples literally:

    Between my Steam Deck (SteamOS) and Framework 16 (Bazzite), the Framework is obviously way more powerful, but I have a more flawless experience with some games on the Steam Deck in terms of 100% of the games I launch "just work"ing on there. With Bazzite on my Framework, it feels close to 100%, but every so often, I encounter a new demo or game that is finnicky about launching.

    Idk if it's gamescope, the specialized hardware, or something else doing the heavy lifting for the Steam Deck (it's probably a mix of things), but I would love to see other Linux distros incorporate the software components to make gaming flawless on generic distros. It's really close, but I think there's room for growth to catch up with whatever the Steam Deck is doing.

    And this is not me saying "wait for SteamOS to switch to Linux". You can easily install Steam on any distro and enjoy like 90% of the games on there with no fuss.

  • Manure is one source triggering cancer-causing chemicals in drinking water for 122 million

    Jump

  • Almost like enslaving and exploiting sentient beings is awful for many practical reasons... 🤔 before even needing to think about why it's a morally atrocious thing to do (antibiotic resistance, new zoonotic plagues, climate devastation, cancer, phsychological trauma for the workers forced to do the dirty work, etc.).

  • [Game] Hogwarts Legacy Adds FSR 3 and XeSS 2 With Mod Fixes in New Update

    Jump

  • Do those one-off bigots that perhaps lended some labor to said games get royalties for the IP? If not, then this comparison is not even close to valid with a billionaire bigot raking in more wealth based on an IP they poisoned.

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • I'm asking this because I haven't tried secureblue: in what ways is Linux behind in security, and what does secureblue do to mitigate that?

    And do any of those mitigations negatively impact usability?

  • I fully agree with fighting fascism any way you can. I just haven't seen anyone mention the opportunistic tendency that any for-profit entity will have to raise prices, especially if they can come out of it looking like the good guy.

    Edit: idk what happened to the comment thread, so my reply probably doesn't make sense, but leaving it here anyway 🤷

  • Buy European because the software is less likely than American shovelware to be hostile to your privacy (and humanity) too.

    However, you should be on the lookout for European companies that use the tariff-induced price increases to sneak in price increases of their own. And call that shit out when you see it.

  • Firefox's version of MV3 explicitly supports the things that uBlock Origin needs to do. It's not the same as Google's malicious MV3 that was targeted at destroying adblockers.

    It would be annoying if they removed MV2, but it wouldn't break things like it did for Chromium.

  • What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

    Jump

  • Yup. It's a moral baseline that, sadly, most people trip and fall over.

  • Aegis Authenticator, open source Google Authenticator alternative, available on F-Droid

    Jump

  • Being able to sync between devices is a huge benefit. I switched from Aegis to Ente Auth for that reason.

    It's all e2e encrypted, and you can protect your Ente account with a hardware key, so there's basically no downside.

  • GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

    Jump

  • I'd be happy if they did and adopted Heroic as an official launcher. However, if that happens, I'd still want proper controller support to be added so that browsing the GOG store in Heroic doesn't require mouse and keyboard bindings on something like a Steam Deck.

  • GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

    Jump

  • Anything but properly supporting the Linux community 🤡

    How have they still not learned that the largest intersection of the people that care about their core value proposition (game preservation, DRM-free, etc.) are Linux users?? It's not like they have to create the compatibility layers from scratch; Valve did it for them.

    If they provided a launcher for Linux users, I'd actually buy shit from them. Yes, Heroic Launcher exists, but I'm not paying GOG for the work that the Heroic dev did. I want first-party support.

  • FDA's top vaccine scientist is forced out

    Jump

  • I don't disagree with any of this. We just also need to be realistic about the fact that viruses have no boundaries and they don't discern between marginalized people and fascist shitheads when they mutate and spread.

  • FDA's top vaccine scientist is forced out

    Jump

  • That isn't how this works. Herd immunity is extremely important for people who actually can't safely be vaccinated, but more importantly, having large populations of anti-vaxxers will create ample opportunity for the viruses to mutate into forms that we don't necessarily have vaccines for.

    We are all truly fucked unless we deal with these scum. It's not just going to hurt the people causing the problem, and it will spread to the rest of the world.

  • You can just write bash scripts in your actions if you want them to be easily replicatable on your local machine, so you don't really lose anything with that system.

  • Someone help me understand the sonarr to jellyfin workflow

    Jump

  • Can someone explain why, and what to use them for?
