Oh so it’s an activist group that’s doing valuable work but has no need to background check for security. Makes sense, basically every activist or political group is on signal these days.

It becomes one every anti left scare (red, but also green and lavender)

Legal recourse for marital rape for one. Laws protecting against overt discrimination on the basis of sex. The right to divorce without cause. The right to own your own bank account.

I get that the system is rigged for the rich, but seriously, the game was rigged so much worse against women before suffrage.

Yeah when I was being the young hot piece of ass for a woman with a kid my age I knew where I stood: proof mom is a cougar

I think you have a point, but i also think it would cause a hemorrhage of skilled users. Especially because it would become a very easy tool for increased corpo control over your device. Suddenly your ripped TNG dvds that are indistinguishable from pirated ones are no longer accessible by you just going to your well labeled file location. Now you have a really convenient os that you can tell in plain English that you’d like you pull up some star trek and it says ok and tries to download a streaming service app. You tell it that you’d like to watch the DVD rips you have of it instead and it tells you that those files have been locked for possible copyright violations.

That’s just the scenario that came to mind immediately.

Oh they have beef with the deaf and I don’t know why.

Great, it’s already a pain getting a decent audiologist…

Nooses in America are deeply associated with lynching, a form of white supremacist extrajudicial murder that typically involves torture, mutilation, and display of the corpse as a warning.

I don’t believe there’s an after to his benders. The day he wakes up sober asking what he did is the day he wakes up in an ominously heated cave.

I call bs, he’s mid at best at throating

What the fuck‽

The weakness of science is its vulnerability to sophistry and its demand for trusting evidence over what sounds right. The strength of science is that no other framework has ever come close to it in ability to draw practical conclusions about reality.

Yeah they’re a totalitarian theocracy

Yeah that’s weird. You gotta keep your wooden boats in the water like we do. Our navy owns a forest for repairing our stupid wooden ship

Yeah. We’re just really grateful he got us an ohio

I love the eyebleed aesthetic of it I’m just now skilled enough to get that on something like fedora or Debian. And these days what I want is for more things to work easier which puts me out of the arch sphere. If garuda hadn’t committed hard to the aur I’d probably love it but the aur does everything 3 ways 1 of which may still be maintained and it leaves you just wanting the actively maintained flatpak.

Like I don’t hate it, it was the right distro at the time for me as it was noob friendly and had plasma 6 when few others did. But I don’t need the bleeding edge anymore.

As someone who tried it for a few months then switched back for several years before returning permanently two years ago: Linux has long had the problem that it’s completely ready for different people at different times.

In 2017 it was in pretty good shape if you weren’t a gamer, didn’t mind tinkering a fair bit, were prepared to learn a completely different two ways of installing software, and didn’t rely on proprietary apps (I couldn’t get Netflix to work). I was only ready for the tinkering. Also I’d used Ubuntu and gnome just added more changes.

Five years later a lot had changed. I wasn’t using Netflix (especially not in the app) for one. But Proton had come around and made gaming just work. My wifi drivers just worked unlike before. Years of mobile app stores and a few months of lemmy had prepared me for repos, even though it still took some getting the hang of to switch from just downloading and double clicking an exe file. But also the software options are increasingly available rather than having to learn to use old school wine while in the middle of a massive change. I still think I should switch away from garuda at some point as I dislike some of the choices it made (no flatpak support for one), but I love aspects of it. And all throughout that time that Linux was getting more accessible to someone like me who isn’t a coder, but was tech nerd curious, windows was increasingly getting in my way and becoming anti user.

I think adoption will continue to increase as Linux continues to get easier for more people

It’s really nice for emudeck integration

Also I recently installed a decky app to allow flatpak updates from deck mode

It was defederated from exploding heads at the time unlike most other instances
