  • if you actually read the comment, I didnt say that anything was not a meme. what I said was that the person I was replying to was ignoring the other meaning of the word which, because of context, is clearly the relevant meaning in this case.

  • you can do exactly what you're talking about, you just didnt bother to look it up. it is done the way it is because it is intuitive to organize things that way and it is a good way to make the actual organization of data on a storage device human readable. most people have no use for organizing things the way you are talking about 90% of the time, bit because usecases do exist where it is helpful it has always been possible to do that on linux. depending on the apps you use it may not be exposed graphically, but it can be done.

  • put weird linux distros on them and find something stupid to self-host for fun.

  • Fedora Continued At The Forefront Of Upstream Linux Innovations In 2025

    Jump

  • i think fedora is a pretty good distro. there are some things they need to work on (like their refusal to ship proprietary stuff how you'd expect and the existence of fedora flatpak) but overall I think they are a much better distro than they get credit for.

  • sounds plausible. might just block them.

  • Linux gaming is growing! The Roblox client Sober was downloaded 1.3 million times this year.

    Jump

  • if you play Roblox (I do sometimes for nostalgia or to mess with some free nonsense with friends) sober is really good. it complains about Wayland but works perfectly.

  • ive been dailying Linux since august 2024 and plan to set up a jellyfin server and start collecting DVDs and CDs so I can own my media (plan is to rip them and stream through Jellyfin, pretty easy to do). on my computer the only proprietary things I use are steam, discord (vesktop), and Spotify. on my phone I have F-Droid but only really use HeliBoard.

    i also want to set up a nas and try self-hosting email but it'll probably be a couple years before I have the space or money to start working at any of that.

  • the word meme gained a second definition on the internet, which is similar to the first but focused on specifically things intended to be funny. because context is a part of language whether you like it or not, that meaning is the one that is being used any time you see the word on the internet unless otherwise specified or unless the context in which you're seeing it is one where the other is more appropriate (like a discussion about linguistics or the spread of ideas).

  • there are a couple microblogmemes communities and whitepeopletwitter (and similar) communities, but the ones on .world have terrible moderation.

  • i hate that microblogmemes allows people to just post anything from any microblog platform. they always justify it with "well a meme is actually just a self-replicating idea" which is technically true, but it ignores the meaning the term 'meme' has on the internet, which is basically just an image based joke that plays off of internet culture in general, typically including previous memes. in the context of a scientific field like linguistics or phycology, the first definition makes more sense. in the context of an internet group with no scientific interest, the second is obviously correct. also they always use that excuse when they are posting US politics instead of memes, which is bullshit because there are communities for politics and political memes. dont make off-topic posts, go post it in a community where it is relevant.

  • No one knows what to call these things (AI Smart Glasses)

  • i do like the idea of smartglasses but most of them are sketchy as hell. even realities seems pretty good given the polish of their features. also panopticals is great.

  • my friends do shit like that all the time like you were just saying "windows does stupid thing" and all I said was "linux does this instead they should be doing that on windows" and immediately the neckbeard with fedora gifs start flying

  • i trust them more than google. they've been a little sketchy lately (bc of the ai stuff, not the ceos political stuff) but at least only one entity has my data this way. I'd rather self-host but i can't rn.

  • i like nms but i wish each individual planet had more to do than just mining, scanning stuff, scavenging, and selling stuff. theres just no reason to do anything on any particular planet in your area unless you need resources it has and its a huge missed opportunity.
